Randa,l,s power waniny

New York Times' Washington special: |
When Samuel j. Randall comes to
Washington to vote for John G.. Car
Isle as the only candidate for speaker
OF the house, he will have something
more interesting to himself to attend to
thar getting up D futile boom for
speaker, or even than searching for stray
bits OF patronage In the departments.
HIS prestige rs the dictator OF the house
10 IN danger. Stung to the quick by de.
ieat IN u hundred attempts to obtain
from him his august consent that
other than appropriation bills
should receive consideration many
members have determined that if it lay
IN their power they would see to it dur
ing the forty-nlnth congress that one
man should not be clothed with the
power, If he had the desire, to stop all
legislation other than that in which the
chairman of the appropriations commit
tee was interested, or which he happened
to consider it his duty to permit, to the
exclusion of other legislation. The in
dignation aroused by Mr.. Randall's
~blockadinR tactics, made possible and
successful under tue admittedly bad
rules of the house, led three
or Iour members to inquire as
to the disposition of members
elected to the incoming body OF rep
resentatives. In particular were the
advocates of the bankruptcy bill r~eslov.-
ed to resent the reproach upon the in
telllgence of congress implied IN the
defective rules. The result of the in
curry referred to was that slxty-eIght of
the democrats elected to the next con-
gress agreed to favor q proposition to
take from the committee on appropria-
tions all the bills that could properly
be distributed among committees hav-
ing special subjects under consideration,
and to allow those committees-th e
RIVER n barber committee,
the committee on Indian at
fairs, the committee on apri-
culture. the military committee, that on
naval affairs and others-to prepare the
appropriation bills which can properly
be considered by them. The appro.
prlations committee would not then have
ground for complaining that the burden
imposed upon it was SO great that it
could not bring in it's bills until late in
b session. Ii itchose to hold back its
bills 1t would be exposed to u~nfavorsble
comparison for Industry with commit
tees that had begun early and finished
their work. Its power to mononolize
time wonld be damaged and seriously.
The determination to effect this change
will be carried out before the re-assem-
bling of the houses of representatives
after the holiday recess and before the
committees are announced. 1t will be
accomplished by an amendment of the
rules, and the proposition to amend the
rules will be supported by a very large
majority.

vlceroy, of India, has ordered General
commander of the Burmah
expedltionary force, to invade Bnrmah
forthwith and proceed with all haste to
capture Mandalay. Tie British forces
will now cross the border Immediately.
Recent dispatches from Rapgoon state
that the inhabitants of districts in
British Burmah, where no large
garrlsops are stationed, are greatly
alarmed at the. report that King
Thebaw has subsidized $4,000 Daoatas to
cross the frontier and begin plundering
and numbering at the first note OF war.
The Daeatas are robbers who work in
large gangs and are noted for their bold
exploits, having neither baggage or a
commissarat. These bands travel with
marvellous speed and it will be hard for
the British troops to catch them.

CAPITALNOTE
THE TELEPHONE CASES.

Washington, Nov. 12-In the tele-
graph case before the secretary of the
interior this morning Mr.. Starrow con.
tinued q presentation of the case for the
Bell company. He read a letter written
by Bell to his parents in 1875, contain
ing reports Of the telephone tests made
by himself. Prof. Henry Hethen wrote
that Prot, Henry advised him to pro-
coed and try to work out the idea for
himself which he (BelD did and in one
year secured a patent.
Starrow read a complaint in the Doind
case to show that it was a fair test of the
different inventors and proceeded to
read o letter that was written by w. d,
Baldwin, Gray's counsel, to DR.. White.
Gray's partner told him that Gray's
caveat conhicted with Bells application
and that as the application had been
filed earlier in the day, the commission
er of patents had decided that Bells
patent should issue. That was conf
Dental, but if Gray would come down
to Washington the next day interference
could still be had. DR.. White informed
him that Bell was willing TO compromise
on the harmonic telegraph system.
Gray replied that he would go to
Washington. Referring to the Pitts
burg case Starrow stated that it was
brought by q branch of the National
Improved Telephone company of Louis
lana, one of the promoters in this case.
The Bell company there got a prelimln-
airy injunction. The evidence had now
been closed and the Ease would come
up for final hearing in three weeks time.
1t had been arranged that they
should appeal the case at once to
the supreme court and the court would
hear 1t at the same time as with the
Dolhear case, which probably will be
reached next spring. Most of the evil
dence produced here were in behalf of
the Pan Electric and Mencie petitions
and consisted of sample sheets from o
printed record used by the defence in
the motion for preliminary injunction
and found by the court to be insufficient
to defeat the motion, therefore this case
was in fact but an appeal from the de-
cision of the court.
A CONTEST CASE.
Washington, Nov. 13-Papers have
