From Our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, December 5.-Representa.
tive Mckinley, Of the Canton, Ohio,
district, said to-day that he expected
to be fred out Of his seat during the
fret session. Wallace, who Is contesting
his seat, is here and has his testimony all
ready. He has been assured, 1t ia said, and
it Is 80 understood by Mckinley, that the
case will be taken up early, and that re.
port will be made not later than February.
1t will be the policy Of the present House
to be lenient with the Republicans in the
matter Of contested elections, and those
that are complicated or doubtful will not
be acted upon during the present or first
session, but will go over until the second
session, so that they cannot effect the cleo
tions next year. Mckinley. however, does
not anticipate delay in action in his case.
There 10 every indication that the first
session Of this Congress will be long. Ran
dolph Tucker, OF Virginia was heard to re-
mark to-day that 1t may last into August.
Speaker Carlisle has announced his inten-
ton to arrange the committees for work,
and that he does not propose that this shall
be do-nothipg Congress, even II the
future OF the party Is hazarded, in the
minds oil some who Of those who were op-
posed to his election. It is generally be-
tkat a. nt1Ntt
properly he will ask time that will run
over the holidays.
THE TARIFF REVISION.
General Browne, Of Indiana, said this
afternoon that 1t Is improbable that the COM
mittees will be announced until after the
holidays, "for the Speaker intends that the
whole tariff shall be revised, " said he, "and
it will require very great study to form
the committees as Mr.. Carlisle desires them
to be-"
1t Is said that Speaker Carlisle desires,
II the taxes cannot be removed entirely
from liquors and tobacco, that the income
taxes be reduced to one-half its present
total by enlarging the free list. It will be
remembered that Carlisle last winter
fought the laws on everything almost tnat
is used in tilling the soil. He wants iron
put on the free list. He doesn't care fig
for Pennsylvania coal nor her iron inter
ests. Cotton ties, hoop iron and all kinds
OF materials that are largely used In the
South are to be attended to. Ohio may
get her wool interests in better shape, Il Q
bill made by the House on the tariff be-
comes law, for Texas has promise that
that interest shall be put in better shape
ior, her sake. Carlisle has promised and
means to look after the.s South. To open
the tariff issues again means q long session
and long session means that new Issues
are to be made for the Presidential cam.

bers from Virginia, speaking to-day Of the
probable action OF the Speaker towards the
South in forming the committees said:
THE soLID SOUTH.
"It is all buncombs about this being a
Southern House, and about our presenting
a solid front. was for Randall for Speaker
and my State only gave Carlisle one vote,
but I don't think the South will get even q
proportion that is usual Of the committees.
| think the committees will be mostly
headed by Northern men. Mr.. Tucker, Of
my State, may be placed at the head OF the
Ways and Means. II he is that means 9
general oyerturning Of the tariff. ! would
not be very much surprised II Randall was
made chairman Of Appropriations. i
would be Just like Carlisle's magnaminity."
"IfMoulton, ofIllinois, Is made chairman
OF Elections we will get even with some OF
the Republicans that were 30 fresh during
| the last session." said prominent South.
srn member to-day, "and think he will
eel Il. too" he continued. "Moulton is o
full lawyer and full Of dash. sHe was in
censed at the manner in which the Rspub-
licans fred out contested members last
year."
RIoRGANizlYa THE SENATE.
The question Of recognizing the Senate
is now about settled. Senator Ingalls,, oi
Kansas, said to-day thata better feeling
among the Republicans would exist If the
reorganization was effected, and he believ'
ed that 1t will be speedily and harmonious
lly done. He thought the objection to
Gorham for Secretary much exaggerated.
Senator Ingalls, does not think there will
he very much work done this winter: He
expects that the House will complete q
great deal that the Senate will not touch,
and anticipates heavy calenders In both
branches of Congress when the first session
Colonel Baudinot, chief Of the Chero;;
KEGS In the Indian Territory, is here, and
saws he proposes to have remedied an evil
that shaipers have been imposing upon the
Indians In the Territory. He says that
tvo.thirds OF the reservation there has
been leased by cattle men for grazing pur-
poses, and that so long as the Indians can
pet rent for their lands without work they
viii not cultivate the soil. he protesta
against the rental they receive, and says
thew are imposed upon most outrageously.
Hethinks the laws governing Indian reser-
yations should be amended go that they
cannot be leased by non.residens. The
matter will come up In the Senate.
