THE SPEAKER SUSTAINED.
First Engagement in the Campaign
Against FiIibustering.

"et'ce
WASHINGTON, January 7.-Mr. McComas
of Maryland, offered a resolution today that
the House resolve itself into committee of
the whole for the consideration of the Dis
tIict of Columbia appropriation bill, the COM
mittee to be governed by the rules of the last
Congress.
Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky, raised a
question of consideration on account of the
absence of both Mr.. Dockery of Missouri and
Mr.. Clements of Georgia, members of the
subcommittee of the committee on appro-
priations, on account of sickness, and asked
that the bill be not considered today.
Speaker Reed ruled that the question Of
consideration could not be used against the
resolution because it was in the nature Of
motion regulating the business of the
House.
Mr.. Breckenridge called attention to the
fact that the resolution went further than
that and provided for the adoption of code
of rules, but the speaker maintained his po-
siti0n.
Mr.. Breckenridge appealed from the de-
clsion and yielded the floor to Mr.. Carlisle of
Kentucky, who vigorously yattackedltheSpeak-
er's ruling. He agreed that no question of
consideration could be raised against mo-
tion to 60 into the committee of the whole,
but the pending resolution went far beyond
that and provided, temporarily it was true,
for code of rules. He thought the time had
come when the House. If it was to be gov
erned by rules, should have those rules.
(ApplauSe on the Democratic side)
Mr.. Mckinley said that the committee on
rules would report code within reasona-
pie time, ana the only question before the
House was whether, while awaiting that re-
port, public business was to be suspended
The country was Infinitely more concerned
In what the House did than in the rules un-
der which 1t did it. applause on the Re
publican side.)
Messrs. Henderson of Iowa, Butterworth
Of Ohio, and Adams of Illinois, defended the
Speakers ruling. The decision of the chair
was sustained by a party vote Mr.. Nc
Comas then demanded the previous ques-
tion on the adoption of his resolution; it was
ordered and the House went into committee
| OF the whole for the consideration of the dis
trict bill. The committee remained in ses-
sion only few moments and at 4 10 sthe
| House adjourned.

A Telegraph Operators slunder.

KEENE, N. H.. January 7.-An inquest on
the bodies of Engineer Slate and Fireman
Gibson, killed in the collision near Tenth
station. showed the accident was caused by
the error Of telegraph operator at West
moreland In copying an order sent TO the
trainmen of No. O. freight, and substituting
Summit for Tenth station as the place where
the local freight should pass the wild train.
The operator received and repeated the
train despatcher's order correctly, and un-
consciously made the fatal error In copying
it. The operator. Miss Cook, has been EN-
ployed there for 10 years, without making
mistake before.

Emperor williams Letter.

LONDON, January THE New Years
letter Of the Emperor William TO Prince Bis
marck has aroused considerable discussion
over what is called the aggrandizement of
the executive in Germany. The fact which
strikes the critics is that since the accession
of William IIIthe Emperor. figures more and
more as the mainspring Of the Government,
and the Ministers fall more and more into
the background, while the legislative bodies,
and even the minor sovereigns sink into
comparative insignifcance. This Is a de-
parture from the method Of William H., who
az peared during his lifetime rather as the
instrument or supporter OF his Ministers
than as the spontaneous controller OF all that
was done, although the light that has since
then been thrown upon many important
transactions shows that the monarch was
often really the prime mover where he was
least suspected of independent action. His
grandson, for the present, seems most anx-
ious to settle all burning questions himself.
This, 1t Is contended, has created a rey0lu-
tiohary feeling among many Germans, who
think 1t Is putting the clock back a whole
century. The German official belief, on the
other hand seems to be that abs0lutism Is
the idea Of the future.
