and against which they put an indignant pro-
test on record.
1t was that ruling of his which caused the
powerful Democratic minority to determine
at that time that the customary vote OF
''thanks to the Speaker" passed as matter
of course at the end of every session of Con-
gress, should be omitted in his case when
that, his first session as presiding officer of
the House. came to an end This determi-
nation was carried out two months later.
The Reed rule" and Mr.. Keifers action
thereon, it will be remembered was to pre-
vent the minority from using dilatorv mo-
tions to secure time for debate on election
cases. and so prevent the majority in the
House from arbitrarily putting them through,
and was regarded as a more than usually
partisan measure.
Under these circumstances, the Democrats
of the present House would stultify them
selves if they adopted without any reserVa-
ton all the rules of the Forty-seventh Con-
gress Therefore, in order to give the COM
mittee on rules an opportunity to report the
changes necessary to be made in the rules of
that Congress, the time for the old rules con-
tinuing in force was fixed at two weeks after
the appointment of the committee on rules,
which period expired early this week. There
fore the House will be without rules when it
first meets, and must at once pass a resolu-
ton continuing the old ones in force for a
while longer, or else promptly decide how
many of those they will rescind.

Eyaded Trial.
Washington Special.
j. L. Sanderson, one of the heaviest con-
tractors in the star-route service during the
period of the alleged frauds perpetrated upon
the postoffice department, was indicted with
Dorsey, Brady, and others. The first indict-
ment against him was imperfect In the re-
indictment of the defendants all were gath
cred in except Sanderson. Why he was ex-
cepted has always been a mystery. He WIS.,
tied Washington soon after the first indict-
ment and had conference with George Bliss,
who then had full charge of the prosecution.
From the date of that visit he was never mo-
Tested. Not long ago he was asked the reason
for the mysterious immunity shown him.
Sanderson answered that his escape cost him
exactly 100000. He did not go into any
further details, nor did he say to whom the
money was paid, thinking probably that his
friend understood all that was necessary to
know after his statement of how much his
immunity had cost him.
prominent lawyer of this city, in COM

employed in dropping Sanderson, called at

the defendants were indicted by their full
names except Rerdel and Sanderson, whose
initials only were given, thus making the
presentment against them void. This lagyer
