WASHINGTON, D. G., December 3l.-I
"There will be no radical change proposed
by tho House Committee on A7pr5pria-
tiops this winter" said Representative
Holman, Of Indiana, to-day. "With what
talk l have had with other members OF the
committee I think there will be no import
ant steps proposed. About the same line
will be followed as heretofore 1t is mis-.
take to suppose that the Democrats propose
any great reform, or that they will begin
retrenchment that will startle the country.
We are modest and will be moderate"
"Will yeu offer any new legislation your
sell that the committee will consider" was
asked. IT,.
80 iAr have only thought Of one thing.
1t is my purpose to get more work out OF
these Government clerks, If possible. We
passed law las. winter requiring stricter
rules and longer houra OF work, but it
seems TO have done 10 good. | never 20
out on the streets in Washington but that
I see employees OF the Government louug-
ing around. They seem to have more time
than anybody. II there arc loose reins in
Washington there is great locseness all
over the the country. The Government is
being robbed"
HOW IT IS TO DE DONE.
"How do you propose to bring about
this revision Of the work."
"The superior officers must be held &C.
countable, ard a better system must be
arranged for keeping time Of employees"
"Wonld you have them work more
hours ?"'
~ would simply have the present laws
carried out. There is too much latitude
allowed employees. There is disposition
to prey upou the Government and the
wealth oi the Treasury"
"Ths committee will begin its work early,
do you think %
"Chairman Randall intends, I believe, to
get of tho appropriation bills early, go
that Congress may adjourn very early
as coon &s the first Of May, at furthes.-if
desired. 1t IL economy to have short
session: There IS no great amount OF work
to do"
1t is believed here by many that one OF
Mr.. Randall'e reasons for hurying through
the appropriation bills to baready for an
early adjournment, is to give less time
than might otherwios be given Tor tariff
tinkering. He docs not believe in giving
much attention to tho tariff, and will do
what he can, it 10 understood, to limit the
length Of the session, and to cut of tariff
agitation. en-.

INTER STATE COMMERCE..

Representative Reagan. OF Texas, has
again expressed the belief that his inter-
state commerce bill will be passed by the
House this session. \ group Of Southern
Congressman were discussing i.s probable
fate tonight. One ofthem said;
"Mr. Reagan is much mistaken. Hia bill
will not receive msjority report from the
Commerce Committee, and cannot pass.
The Senate would not pass it anyway. The
railroad owners will not submit to having
their tariffs ontlolled by commission" i"

ling the years accounts. Orders are light,
and a renewal OF demand Is not looked for
until after the iirst oi the year. leading
members OF the New YORK dry goods trade
characterize the traffic Of the year as quite
as heavy as usual, and In branches, thereof
in excess OF las. year, although the margin
Of profit has been small. This view is
corrohorated by special advices from
Chicago and Tie Northwest. At
Boston the view taken is much
more conservative, whito Philadelphia re-.
ports nothing more encouraging. There is
still a weakness observable in some lines Of
cotton goods. Advices from Cincinnati
regarding the results OF the years busines3
IN general staple lines are more favorable
than from any point except Minneapolis
and st. Paul, while those from Boston are
the least 30, measured from the side OF
profits. The general feeling In trade circles
appears to be an unsettled one. Traders in
all lines confess to viewing the future with
no antlcipations Of specia! activity in the
near future.

that We. have all the advantages

MlDDLErowN, n. V, Nov. 2S.-The Mid
detown National Bank has failed and its
doors are closed this morning. The failure
was caused by its president, Thomas King,
who accepted large drafts from Benjamin

Ind. and Burlington, Iowa, without Sc
curity. Brown has made an assignment.
His capital was 100000, and his surplus
$4,000. The extent of his loss is not yet
definitely known. The depostors will lose
nothing. President King takes all the blame
on himself His recent advances were made
without the knowledge Of the other officers

at Tralee last night, which nearly proved
successful, 70 destroy, with dynamite, the
residence of Mr.. Samuel Hussey, known as
Edinburn House. Many of the windows
and a portion of the eastern wall Of the
house were badly shattered. All the mem.
bers Of the family were in the house at the
time, but nobody was injured. This was
an exceedingly bold outrage, Is the house
was under police protection, aud at the
time of the explosion policemen were occu-
plying huts only short distance from The
house. No clue to the perpetrators has
been discovered, and no arrests have been
made.
