effect that the Rev. Father Dugas, of ST 10,

rites of the Church to all parishioners who
had joined and persisted in identifying them
selves with the labor union or other secret So
Gietics In an interview with Father Dugas
he said "Whio taking a deep interest in
the welfare of my people, do not intend nor
will | Interfere with their temporal move

mony mills for r quantity of filling, together
with that supplied by the mills in operation
will be sufficient to supply tho 1000 loomi

The experience of tho House of Represent ia
tives under the new rules has been anything
but satisfactory to tho Members, and there are
indications of desire to materially amend
them before long. Should such an attempt be
well entered upon, ii would not be surprising
if tho House should tinker them into such
additional confusion as to make it eXpedent
to throw them overheard as u whole aud fall
back upon tho old rules as they were before
tho report of the committee was adopted. The
old rules would havo tho advantage at least of
being understood by u portion OF tho NJ em-
bCrs Of the House.
Under ths new rules there was at tho start II
flattering show of progress, and committees
wero relieved of bills in their charge, the bills
being slid along to the calendar with surpris-
ing rapidity. Whether that wus in reality an
advance or a retrograde movement is now mp.
parently question. The calendar has grown
to the dimensions of forty-eght octave pages,
averaging probably fifteen bills to the page, or
720 bills TO be acted on, IN some form of tho
Committee Of tho Whole House, into which
the House can ouly be carried by a majority
vote. This dilemma was recognized by tho
House yesterday, when sby three successive
riUa rocs votes occupying scarcely m orc min
utes, 1t took from the calendar aud passed
under a suspension of the ruloS three bills for
public buildings in West Virginia, Kentucky Y
and Ohio respectively, involving the eXpendi-
million aud a.half dollars. Where this mode
of disposing of bills would have stopped but
for the prompt action Of AIr, Bl0unt of tho
the Appropriation Committee, in moving an
adjournment, it would be difficult to tell.
The House District Committee has become
satisfied that it will be unable to accomplish
its work under tho new rules, and yesterday
tho following was offered by Mr. Neal and
unanimously adopted:
