WASHINGTON. March s.-Ar. Speaker
Reeds rules for the governing OF tho
House are not giving satisfa ction to many
OF the Republican members OF that body,
and IN the discussion to-day on tho ques-
ton of considering public-bullding bulls
Mr.. Burrows. ot Michigan, could not refrain
from giving the new code slap. In effect
he said that under the rules measures were
slipped IN secretly and the average men,
Der was unable TO tell what was going on
unless he read carefully almost every page
OF the Record. The indications are that be-
fore the roses bloom again the Republicans
Will grow very weary OF these rules.
Speaker Reed could hardly control his feel
ings to-day when Mr.. Burrows was insinu-
ntlng that n bad state OF things existed.
The rules are premium on .absenteeiSn.
and the Republicans Will ind this
out before many weeks elapse. Mr.. Cannon,
and other Republicans who are becoming
alarmed over the tendency toward lootlng
the Treasury have been expecting help
from the Democrats, but the latter have re-
piled when appealed to, You helped TO
put the irons on US. and you ought not TO
come to us to help you out OF your
troubles"
Mr. Mckinley has promised that the
tariff bill shall be reported within the next
Few weeks, but he is probably mistaken as
to the time. The Republicans cannot
agree on the sugar question. The Kansas
and California Republicans and Mr.. Cole
man. of Louisiana are dead set against tho
proposed reduction in the sugar duties.
and the bounty system they denounce as
simply Internal.
