THE WAR ON THE HOUSE RULES.
Senators and Representatives who
Favor IL Cilanse-Views Of Represen.
tative Springer.

Some of the Senators are taking an interest in
the movement for a change OF the House rules
on the ground that the Senate suffers from the
obstructive character of those rules; that mea-
sures OF public interest and Importance which
are passed by the Senate and which frequently
have the active favor and support Of majority
of the House members, fail because the rules
permit a majority to dictate. Senator Voor-
hees in spe king to several members of the
House, expressed the hope that the effort to
changes the rules may succeed.
Representative Springer said to STAR repor-
ter that the movement in favor of Il better code
OF rules seems to be very popular. Mr.. Springer
added: "A proper revision OF the rules would
obviate further trouble and conflict between
the two houses because of riders ON appropria-
ton bills. In the House legislation is put i,Don
OF procuring it otherwise Measures OF import
ance are delayed because under the rules thew
cannot be reached, and then towards the last
the only means of getting them through,
they are Incorporated in appropriation bills.
the Senate has determined to oppose riders
and every case OF the kind causes a contro-
versy. Now let II majority have the power to
call up bills promptly and act upon them, and
this veXed question of riders will be settled
And" continued Mr. Springer, eff we
earnestly want to carry forward some meas
ures of admitted public Importance we must
make some distribution of the appropriation
bills. Docs anybody believe that the appro-
priatiOnS committee can properly discharge all
the duties imposed upon 1t under the old rules
and also make u thorough investigation of
what is needed for new navy? And this
question OF heavy ordnance. Can the apprO-
priations committee inquire into that? No,
sir. 1t is, alone, work enough to keep q com.
mittee busy during the session."

PRICES FALL RAPIDLY AND ONE BROKER HAS
TO sUSPEND-THE ALLEGED CAUSES.
The New York World to-day says: Yesterday
was one of the most exciting days in the history
OF oil speculation i'm New York. The price OF
crude Oil certificates declined nearly ten cents
In two hours, which makes an aggregate de-
cline since Thursday of 81 cents. Notw1th-
standing the rapid fall only one failure WAS an
nounced, that Of w. ii. johnson, OF No. IS
Broadway, who has been doing an extensive
business as a representative OF Russell Sage
and other operators. His differences, which ne
could not liquidate, amounted, however, to 3d.,
400 and SO, 600 barrels Of oil were sold cut for
his account. The break was attributed 20 all
sorts of influences, the chief one being extrava-
CANT rumors regarding the reported wonderful
Moving of the last Anchor well. The Standard
Oil company, Philip ID. Armour, ofChicago. AND
Roswell p. Flower were said to have been inter-
ested i'm enhancing the bear movement.
The market opened at 99l., cents and de-
clined quickly to 93ia; there was a rally TO 90,
and then a quick shrink to S9a., the lowest
price for 1.-THE day. Afterwards there was q
action TO 92la then another decline TO 9Oas and
the close was 915s cents bid. The sales were
about 13, 100000 barrels.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-The result i'm the east all
depends to-day on whether Gen. Leshjonin,
from the north and the second reserve, will
reach King Milan in front of Slavinge i'm time
to enable him to attack the Bulgarian position
before the sultan's letter arrives ordering him
to cease hostilities. The aid will probably reach
the king, as the delay i'm dispatching the letter
was intentional, because the situation will be
SO much easier to settle after a decisive con-
fiict The next battle will be the last, because
IT will be the final great effort possible on each
sde and because the interference of the pow
ers, either directly or through Turkey is abso-
lutely certain. Meantime the Bulgarian sue
cesses are shown 10 be more complete than was
supposed. Dragoman. Bresnik and Pernik are
now occupied by the Bulgarans. The last posi-
tlon is specially important, as IL was the base
OF the attack on Sofia. At this moment a colo
mel OF Bulgarian cavalry is domiciled in the
very headquarters from which King Milan
issued the promise to his troops of a rare least

Cieary was the first 10 put In an appearance and
minutes by Burke. Both men stripped well,
athough the general verdict was In favor OF
bnrke, the opinion being that Cleary had
unheu down n little too much. Time was
called ut 1929 Burke led of with heavy
oody blow on Cleary, quickly followed by
heavy right-handed blow on Burke's stomach.
In the second round Ceary led OF catching
burke under the right arm: Burke returned by
taxing Cleary on the LEFT ear. and this was fol-
lowed by heavy over cut Cleary rushed In
and got In a stinging blow on Burke's face.
Both men came up in a lively manner tor the
third round. Burke drove Cleary into his cor.
ner. where they clinched. Ceary closed the
round by getting I'm his right heavily on Burke's
Burke tented, and followed IL up by lightly
tapping Cleary on the ear, which was again fol-

The House Offices.

NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION-EASY WORK
FOR THE CAUCUS.
There is no visible change to-day in the con.
test for the several offices of the House of Rep
resentatives. There have been whisperings OF
opposition to the leading candidates, and now
and then some name is mentioned OF a man
who proposes to take the field. But while men
can be found without any trouble who are
willing to make the race for one of the places
if they could see any chance of winning when
they look at the field they reach the conclusion
that they would be barred in the race.
Tie rumor that appointment Clerk Higgins
is a candidate for dOOrkeeper has been revived.
but without any authority from him. Soon
after the mention OF Mr.. Higgins name for the
place he announced that he was not a candi-
date and would not be. He has never changed
his mind.
1t is conceded on every hand, now, with the
exception OF very few whose interests lie in
another direction, that Col. Donelson, of Ten
nessee, will be elected doorkeeper.
With regard to the other Offices, no opposition
has appeared, and members in the city have
all settled down to the belieft the caucus
Saturday night week will be the tamest ever
known which controlled the organization OF
the House. From Speaker down its only work
will he TO put certain officials In nomination by
practical unanimity.
