Proposed Changes in the House Rules.
WASHINGTON, November 20th.-Speaker
carlisle said TO a Republican reporter to-
night, IN speaking of the plan proposed By
Springer TO change the rules OF the House,
that the plan did not originate with
springer. Ever since the Forty sixth Con-
gress, he said, there has been dissatisfac-
non with the present rules. and this move
ment is the result of that dissatisfaction.
from what hear, and the strong advocacy
tne plan seems to have think it is proba-
bic that the rules will be changed He
said the plan to distribute the appropria-
ton bills among the committees is not an
attack on Mr.. Randall any more than upon
any one else, as the same dissatisfaction was
manifest when Mr.. Hiscock and Mr.. Atkins
were at the head of the Appropriations
Committee. There is no desire to take
away any of Mr.. Randall's power and
don't THINK there ever was any such feel
ing. The complaint is that the handling of
all the appropriation bills is too much
work for the Appropriation Committee. A
change would of course facilitate legisla-
tlon." Mr.. Carlisle said he favored the dis
trlbution Of the bills to the proper com
mlttees, excepting the sundry civil service,
Legislative and general deficiency bills, as
they really belong to no other committee
He said that the proposed revision would
work good results.
