House Republicans Encouraged by the Re-
suit in the Senate.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-If the tariff and
revenue bill which passed the Senate to-
night becomes law, it is estimated that the
revenue will be reduced between $40 600, 900
and $50, 100000 under it's provisions, 47OO0,-
900 of which is represented in internal reve-
nue. reduction. The Senate vote on
the bill has inspired the Repubi-
cans who want action with renewed
confidence, the result having satisfied them
that large number of men who have been
openly fighting tariff revision will not dare
to record their vote against it on the roll
call.
1t is possible, but not probable, that the
House will take up the Senate bill to-mor-
row or the day following. 1t will be apt to
finish the consideration of the sundry civil
bill before it takes up the tariff again, and
1t is expected that will take
until Friday. 1t is an import
ant appropriation bill, and cannot be
rushed through if the Democrats show dis
position to kill time i'll discussing it. The
majority will block this game by an applica-
ton OF the gag. The Republican members
of the committee on rules have come to an
agreement, and will report an amendment
when it is needed, which will give the major
ity control. There is no call for such a rule
just now, and it will be held back and pre-
sented as a final notice to the minority to
stop their obstructive tactics. Mr. Burrows
has the matter in charge. and will to-mor-
row offer the following:
Resolved That during the remainder of
this session. Immediately after approval of
the journal each day the Speaker shall call
the committees in regular order, when it
shall be i'll order for any committee called to
designate bill on any of the calendars of
the House, or on the Speakers table. which
bill shall be taken up for immediate con
sideration, and it shall be in order to
debate such bill for thirty minutes,
when the previous question shall be moved
and if seconded a vote shall then be taken;
but if not seconded, the bill shall resume its
original position, whether on the calendar
or on the Speakers table; provided that,
pending consideration of any bill, no motion
to adjourn shall be in order before Il vote is
taken on such bill; and provided further, that
this order shall not extend for more than
two hours each daV."

RIVERS AND HARBORs.


The Bill Reported from the Committee and
Its Passage Recommended.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-Mr. Townsend of
Ohio, from the committee on commerce, has
reported back the river and harbor bill and
recommended Its passage. The additions
made IN the committee amount to $50 900.
A provision was added to the bill which
specifies that all applications for surveys
shall be made to, and all authorizations of
surveys shall be made by the Secretary of
war. The report explains that the bill dis
cusses that part of the Presidents message
relating to it, which has been re-
terred to this committee, and
IN conclusion states that the work
recommended is demanded by the necessities
of commerce, and has been provided for on
an economical scale, in compliance with the
wishes OF the people There is an appendix
in which the twenty-five items objected to
by the Secretary OF War are discussed, and
statements of engineers compared with the
statements in the Secretarys letter of objec-
uons, to show why the objections are not
sustained by the action of the committee in
instances where expenditures have been
recommended on streams designated by the
Secretary as not demanding improvement in
the interests of commerce.

closet beneath the stairs leading from the
second to the third floor, on the east side Of
the building 1t had been smouldering for
some time, and had eaten its way through to
the center of the partition wall dividing the
hall from the classroom in 'front.' and crept
up toward the third floor ere it was discov-

school to see all of the pupils in the fifth
class, which is on the second floor. the door
of which opens almost opposite and within
a few feet OF the closet IN which the sweep
ings were burning. The Visitor knocked at
the door, which was opened by one of the
sisters of Notre Dame, by whom the school
is conducted. Scarcely had the door swung
back on its hinges when the flames burst out
from under the stairway. The sister hastily
closed the door, but not until some of the
children in her care had caught sight Of the
