TWO CURRENT RUMORS.

NO RESPONSIBLE SPONSORS FOR TIE PROPOSE
TONS TO GIVE GENERAL GRANT NEW TITLE,
AND TO PLACE THE TELEGRAPH LINES UNDER
GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
lBy TELEGRAPH 20 TIE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-No sponsor for the prop
ostion TO place General Grant the retired list of
the Army, with the title of Captain-General and a
large salary, can be found 1t is not probable that
any Congressman of either party will be willing to
run the gauntlet of criticism the introduction of
such measure in Congress would provoke.
The rumOrs about renewal of the project to
bring the telegraph system of the country under
Government control also lack responsible origin.
Probably no movement in this direction has vet
been started. 1t is not mprOb bable, however, that
movement of the kind may be started during the
coming session Of Congress. 1t would command the
support of many congressman, but would meet
with the sturdy opposition OF the telegraph COM
lanice.

HOUSE RULES NEARLY READY.
AN EARLY REPORT EXPECTED-sOME OF THE DEM

AN EARLY REPORT EXPECTEp-SOME OF THE DEM
oCRATIC PROPOSITIONS ABANDONED.
lBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIDUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The House Committee
on Rules will complete its work of revision this
week, and will probably be ready to report early
next week. There is said TO be a disposition among
the Democratic members of the committee to urge
immediate consideration of the report, so that the
attention of the House may be occupied till the
holiday recess with the proposed changes. In this
way they hope to avoid discussion of political
questions until the Democrats have had time to
hold few caucuses. and get the party IN good
state of discipline.
1t is understood the Democratic members Of the
committee were anxious TO devise some
means by which members could be compelled
TO vote on all questions. Ii was proposed to tine
members one days pay for each refusal to vote 1t
was also suggested that recacitrant members be
brought before the bar of the House and censured.
The absurdity of the latter proposition was
apparent when the committee remembered that it
frequently happened at the last session that tn g
number of members who refused TO vote was some
times greater than the number who voted The ef-
fort 10 find some means of making members vote
abandoned. and II is probable that the commit
tee will make unanimous report.
