REDUCING THE ExprxDrruKxs.
An Outline Of the Policy 70 he Pursusd b,
the Democratic Leaders.

the Democratic Leaders.
The question Of reducing the government
expenditures is occupying the serious atten-
ton of some Of the leading democrats OF
the House. 1t is assumed that Mr.. Hoi-
man will be chairman Of the committee on
appropriations and that the rest Of the. men,
bers will be chosen with relation to their
harmony with his views and the policy Of the
democratic party. There 10 no probability Of
the appropriations being assembled in one
committee. Therefore it 10 o matter OF a.
grave importance that the other committees
having charge of appropriation bills shall be
constructed with view Of carrying out the
policy OF economy.
1t is probable that rule will be adopted
providing that no appropriationsfo for incress-
Ing the clerical or official force Of any of the
departments shall be made on any but the
legislative or sundry civil appropriations bill.
1t Will probably DO the policy of
this Congress TO appropriate only
such money for Notifications and for the
navy as can be expended judiciously during
the year for which the appropriation 10 made
and that the work of cutting down of expendi-
lures will not be confined to the com mittce on
There ia some talk OF the Speakers going
away somewhere after he has heard what men,
bers have to say about the committees that he
may get chance to work quietly on Ills COM
mittees. II Is not expected that any bills will
be introduced into the House or any sort of
work be started until after the committees are
announced. The Speaker will take whet time
is necessary for careful consideration Of the
question OF committees and when the an
nouncenlent is made the purpose will be to get
TO work IN a business way at once and clear up
all business az speedily possible.

Henry Clews' Weekly Financial Review"
issued today. says: "Wall street remains quiet,
butthe symptoms of coming Improvement accu-
mulate One of the notable features OF the
market is the increase OF investment buyers.
They represent not only the earnings of year
of reasonably prosperouse business, but also
the liquidated principal Of western land mort
cages, of which considerable amounts arc
already being settled out Of the results of
the large crops, while greater sums arc likely
10 be cxtinguished during the coming six
months as the crops come into market. The
large earnings of the leading railroads. and no
t.bly of the Vanderbilt properties. together
with the probable later advance in stocks, are
attracting the investors, who want over per cent
nal dividcnd-payinS shares, and the
market supply of that class of in
vestInent Is being steadily reduced,
with IL consequent gradual rise in their value.
AT the moment speculation is held in check
by ;iic Influences incident to the approaching
holidays and to the set;l.ine and making-up
of accounts usual at the closing of the year.
Besides. the opening OF Congress, with a largely
new political complexion, induces a certain
amount of waiting for indications of what
Il Likely to be the future course OF legislation
upon certain important questions. These things
have tendency to defer operations and may
keep the market quiet until bout the close OF the
year, or possibly somewhat longer. But. III the
meantime, steady stream OF favorable iniiu-
ences is gathering into an accumulated force
that is likely before long to prove irresistible.
The Presidents annual message has had good
effect upon Wall street at large. IL is regarded
as not only an able, moderate and statesmanly
document, but also revealing healthy con-
dition of the business of the country, and as
favorlng measures promising stability and
safety, and above all as affordins a
guarantee against any further approach
toward danger in our silver policy.
In Europe there is a singular calm succeeding
the late financial approximations and the fears
Of impending war. Exactly what estimate is
to be put upon this new aspect it is not easy TO
say. 1t would doubtless he utopian to assume
that there has been no occasion for all the re-
cent excitement. and not safe to conclude that
all the dangers have been permanently averted."

Thursday afternoon long funeral process
sion moving slowly along Pennsylvania avenue
at the intersection OF It'll street delayed three
cable cars, but Richard Watts, a colored man
seated in buggy, drove through the process
sion and his vehicle came near touching the
hearse. Policeman Hinkel arrested him and
today he appeared before Judge Kimbal for
trial.
Richard declared that he did not see the
hearse and. consequently, he did not know that
he was passing through funeral procession.
II didn't look to the right or the left" he
told Judge Kimball; Il looked straight ahead. Z"
The judge said he didn't believe that man
could drive through funeral in that way and
not know it was funeral.
Watts said that he was on the Jury only two
weeks ago and he certainly would not violate
the law Intentionally. Lawyer Wisweil said he
had crossed the avenue at the intersection of
7th street when his life was really in danger
and he understood how his client would have
to watch ahead Of him.
Judge Kimbsll told COUNSEL that he had
driven across there many times and no knew

same opinion. Watts lsssoa cost him IS.

Some disappointment Tint 1t Was Not An
nounced Today.
The failure Of the Speaker to announce in the
House this morning the committee on rules
was disappointment for it was generally
supposed last night that lie would settle the
matter. 1t is understood that Mr.. Crisp
desires to consider the selections more
carefully and wishes to avoid any mistakes
He has had slist before him that contains q
half dozen names Of democrats and there are
only Two to be appointed ON this important
committee. Many Of tho leading democrats
have been urging tho Speaker to promptly
settle the matter by appointing Messrs
Springer and McAIillin ON behalf of the major
ity and Messrs. Reed and Burrows on behalf of
the minority, but until Nr. Crisp makes
up his mind as to who will head the
committees on ways and means and ap-
preparations he cannot overcome some en-
barrnssing features Of the situation. 1t Is
thought that if the question Of disposing of
Mr. Mills were fixed the Speaker could go
ahead, but Mr. Mills has been sick and no
one seems to be able to state with GER
talnty whether or not he will again
committee. Sentiment generally .avors the
rendering OF the position to the Texas states
man. but some of the closest friends of the
Speaker ore still unable to state positively
whether Mr.. Mills would accept even if the
craftsmanship was offered him.
The whole thing is in chaotic state, and
probably not until Tuesday evening will
Speaker Crisp be able to make up the
rules committee. The opinion is strong,
however. that Mr. McMillin will be one
of the democratic members Of this committee,
more on account OF his knowledge of parlia-
mentcry tactics and activity on the floor than
with reference to assignment of that gentle
man on any other committee.
