WASHINGTON, May 1.-The belief which is
generally entertained on the Democratic side
that they will recover the House in the next
| Congress. lends additional interest to the con-
test for membership Of the Committee on
Rules. due largely to the fact that the decision
to DO made By Speaker Reed will In como de-
| gree Affect the Speakership Of the next House.
| There ia o strong faction on the Democratic
side against what has been called the Car
isle Mills combination" but It is unorganizod
and consequently ineffective. Col. Oates
OF Alabama has been more out
spoken and independent in expressing
the opinions Of this faction than
any other man. although Mr.. Crisp Of Georgia
has been at times quite positive In his dissent
from the Carlisle Mills leadership. There 10 q
strong protection element in the South which
has never been satisfied with the policy mapped
out by Mr.. Cleveland and exemplifed In the
Mills bill II is said that Mr.. Crisp is in favor
OF q moro moderate policy. and that Mr.. Car
lisle does not desire him as a colleague on the
Committee on Rules for two reasons: First.
on account OF his being only mod
crate tariff. refurmer: and, second. because

he is an ambitious man. and would expect the
nomination OF Speaker at the hands OF his
party In the next House
A quiet move was mnde In behalf OF Mr..
sprinEers appointment on the Committee on
Rules by few Northern Democrats. and the
name OF Mr.. Holman was also suggested. but
the suggestion was met by the remark that no
Northern Democrat would be appointed. 1t 10
understood that the delay In announcing tho
appointment is due TO the fight between the
two factions, and that Sneaker Reed is greatly
terday by Mr.. Crisp, who interrupted MIR. Car
Isle when the special order" reported by the
Committee on Rules WAS under consideration,
In order to exploit his parliamentary skill and
ability. has dampened the ardor OF the friends
who had earnestly pressed his appointment
general pension Uills could be called up
for consideration at any time. To this
Mr.. Carlisle responded that they could not be,
and quoted the rule. Somewhat discounted
by that setback" MIR. Crisp again interrupted
Mr.. Carlisle by suggesting Thy way OF inquiry
that reports from tho Committee on Invalid
Pensions on general appropriationg, PM, bills stood
by the Committee on Appropriations. Again
Mr.. Carlisle responded In the negative. and
Mr.. Crisp retired from the competitive exam
ination for the next Speakership." as Speaker
Reed loosely termed It very much crestfalen.
II is said by some OF Speaker Reeds
mem bership on the Committee. on Rules is
substantially settled. and that Mr.. Blount OF
Georgia will be chosen. and that Mr.. Mutchler
will 20 on appropriations as MIR. Randall's suo- |
cessor. 1t 10 quite likely that II this programme
f. carried out there win be frequent e reI9 ,s
:! was an outrage" Both Crisp ana Mills will |
camp on tho trail OF Speaker Reed for the re- |
mainder OF the session without doubt.
