eating about $3,000,0O0.

tinctly require every claim to be included in

tion creates a great sensation.
Nearly year ago the city council author
lied the beard of revision to examine the
books relating to the city's financial history.
The disclosures made were startling in the
extreme, but In the boards report slight, If
any. reference was made TO them.
Last night one of the experts sent the
council communication asking that his
name be stricken from the record. saying he
had been induced TO sign the same under
false Misrepresentation, that the former in
vestlgation was not completed, and that if
given access to the books again he would
make an exposure, free of cost, to the city
His communication was referred back to him
with the insinuation attached to it that the
matter had better be allowed to rest.
After the council adjourned he gave the
press complete statement, of the irregu-
laritles occurring during the period named,
amounting to S3,000,000.

WASHINGTON, January 14.-The proposed
new rules of the House as drawn only make
such necessary changes as will bring the
House back where it was ten or fifteen years
ago when a majority was supposed to rules
The filibustering tactics have grown up un-
der comparatively recent changes in the
rules. As now prepared by the committee
the code provides that motion to adjourn
to specified day, or to take recess, shall
not be in order except when made on the au-
thority OF committee, and that
a motion to 60 into the committee
of the whole to consider any meas
ure shall not be recognized unless made
with the approval of the committee having
charge of the measure, and a committee re-
porting an appropriation bill may eDgraft
rev legislation upon it. The old morning
hour is restored, and quorum Of the COM
mittee of the whole reduced to 100. Mr..
Carlisle says that the Democrats will oppose
these changes with all the power at their
command, and Mr.. Mills said some time ago
that no rules should be adopted except such
as are approved by the minority. This indi-
Gates bitter struggle, and an attempt on the
part of the minority to rule the House. If the
report of the committee is adopted it will be
possible to shorten the session by probably
two or three months, thus saving large
sum of money to the country and at the
same time getting through with all neces-
sary legislation.
