CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
The House Situation Still in Doubt.
The Republicans, However, Have
the Best Chances 10 Secure 1t,
But the Democrats Have Enough
to Filibuster Easily,
Members Arriving for the Opening
OF the Second Session.
The Next Speaker Of tho House an In-
teresting Theme for Speculation
An Important Intorstato
Decision.

Special Dispatch to The Appeal.
WAsuINGToN, Nov. 30-The few mem
bers at the Capitol today were talking
chiefly Of the complexion of the next
House, and little about the spcakcrship,
II is no longer admitted or claimed that
there is any doubt about the Republicans
having a majority. 1t is variously placed
at from five TO nine. The prospect OF that
majority being increased by contests pro-
vokes a discussion Of the probability Of
the Democrats iilibustering TO prevent the
unseating OF their men. Some of the
members who will be in the Fiity.ilrst
Congress intimate that such course
would not be improbable. The speaker
ship OF the next House is rapidly settling
down TO question OF section. The
New England men as they come in
are declaring for Reed and those
from the West and the Northwest
generally speak iavorably Of one of their
own men. 1t is almost certain that Reed,
Mckinley, Cannon and Burrows will each
make an active canvass for the place, and
there may be some other man not yet
mentioned who will carry OF the prize.
Certificates from Missouri, New Jersey
and Maryland have been received at the
Clork's Office. Mr.. Stockbridge gets the
certificates in Raynor's district, thus set
tling one Of the doubtful districts in favor
OF the Republicans. Representative Me
Miilin says that the CO mplc xion Of the
House cannot bc told until all the cer;if-
Gates Of election are in. lie is confident
that the majority cannot be greater than
three either way

row. there was no formal agreement as tO
what attitude the Democratic members
should assume in regard to pending legis-
laton at the approaching session. There
was much uncertainty expressed at the

Rules by caucus action was directed 10

OF December. The opponents OF the meas

evince an entire absence OF knowledge as
10 whether or not the caucus program
will be carried out, but say Il is highly i'm
probable that dilatory tactics will again be
employed to compass the defeat OF the
measure. The members OF the House
Committee on Appropriations were busy
in completing the consideration OF the
District of Columbia appropriation bill,
aud expect to have it ready Tor report to
the House during the coming week. The
