the acknowledged leader of the majority o.
the House, and who, being Ohslrman of the
appropriations, will Just about dictate the
proceedings of Congress this winter,
says there will be little committee
work done at this session, and
but it is almost oily to do much outside OF
his committee.room. He says no action win
be taken upon the work by this Congress,
and as it must ell be done over again in fu-
ture Congresses, 1t is work thrown overheard
in many instances.
It looks Low as though there will be but
little change in the general make
up Of the committees IN the
be reelected and there is an impression that
good many of the chairmsnships will re-
main as they are. OF course, II Mr.. Randall
gets into C,eveland's Cabinet, there will be =
vacancy there, which Judge Holman, Of In
bly,, Sunset Cox, of New York. General

elected Governor, will not go to Congress
again, which will make q vacant Chair at
the head of the Printing BureRu. There
will be a vacancy in the Craftsmanship of
Postoeice and Post Roads by the retirement
of Mr.. Money. of Mississippi, who may be
called to the Postmaster Generalship under
Cleveland
Three OF four other changes would Of ne
cessity be required under q reorganization Of
the new House of Representatives Tbs
committee arrangements have been very har-
monious and efficient under Speaker Car
Isle, and predictions have been made that
in the event of second term for him he
will not studiously work change.
About the only man who felt very bad
| over the present organization Of committees
was Springer, of Illinois. He didn't want
the Committee on Expenditures in the De-

WAsHIseros, Dec. LIT Is believed that
the House, acting upon the information
which will be furnished by the Senate Com
mittee, that has been looking into the csPac-
ity of the steel works at Pittsburg and
elsewhere for making guns OF q large calibre
will suthorize the appointment of COM
mittee by the President 10 visit the coast
cities of the country and the
steel works and shiP-ysrds. for the
purpose of ascertaining just what is
needed TO reconstruct our coast defenses
and navy, and to compile estimates OF cost
and make some sort of recommendations
about having the work done at private or
Government fOundries and yards.
There is popular sympathy for private
firms in this work, and they will likely get
it when il is finally given out. 1t is caleu-
lated that $50, 900, 900 will be required in the
outlay. It will repleDish the money
market.

to work up booms. One man from South
ern State has already a dozen men here

It will be unfortunate for Cabinet aspi-
rants If il should reach the ears of the gen.
tleman at Albany that they have employed
lobbyists to represent them before the peo-
Dle. 1t is said that the President elects
special aversion is to people who are appeal
