Speaker has placed at the head OF the
committee on appropriation Hon. VIM.
5. Holman, of Indiana, whose name is
a guarantee TO the country that this
will not BE- another billion dollar Con-
gresS.
1t must be borne in mind that many
OF the extravagant appropriations OF
the last and preceding Republican Con-
crosses are made permanent and can
not be repealed or reduced without the
cooperation of the Senate and the Pres
ident.
Were 1t not for this fact much larg-
er reduction would be secured by the
present House Of Representatives. 1t
must be borne in mind that many ex-
travagant appropriations are made nee
essary by existing laws, and the liaoili-
ty of the Government having been
created, Congress cannot refuse to make
the required appropriations.
Notwithstanding these embarrassing
circumstances, q reduction OF between
forty and hundred millions year by
the present House of Representatives
may be confidently expected as COM
pared with the appropriation OF the pre-
vious Congress.
What can the House Of Representa-
tives do to repeal or modify some OF the
most Objectionable features OF the Nc
Kinley bill? A general revision Of the
tariff by this Congress is utterly impos-
sible. The Senate is Republican and
the President is Republican, 1t does
not follow, however, that nothing can
be done on the subject of tariff legisla-
tion.
Many Of the provisions OF the Nc
Kinley bill are 80 outrageous and op-
preSsive as to demand immediate re-
peal or modification. Separate bills
for this purpose should be reported to
the House of representatives and
passed through that body at the ear
iiest moment possible. These bills
should have for their object the enlarg-
ment of the free list and the securing
OF cheaper raw material.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, January 9.-At
half-past eleven o'clock last night fire broke
out in the saloon of Henry Rummel, near
the corner Of Capitol and Kanawha streets.
The flames rapidly spread to the adloln-
ing store rooms occupied by II. Sartinis
confectionery, John Whites barber shop
and John Gaughan's saloon, and into the
old Opera House hall above them.
The volunteer fire company was prompt
lv on the scene and did heroic service, but
labored under many disadvantages, their
hose bursting in several places.
The breaks were quickly repaired and
the stream again played on the spreading
flames. The rear of the blazing building
reached within fifty or sixty feet Of the
Hotel Ruffner, and for a time it seemed
that the entire Kanawah street block, ad-
Joining the hotel, was in danger.
At II 80 the flames were fairly under con-
troll. and will doubtless be confined TO the
original limits. The building is owned by the
Kanawha Valley Bank and worth about

VALLEJO, CAL, January Sat the inyes-
tigation into the assault upon the sailors OF

Charles LANCER, seaman, testified tnst ne
was in the International Hotel with John
son. who Yesterday gave evidence directly
implicating the Chilean men OF wars men,

stronger than Johnson's. According 10
LANCER, when higgins rose the hrst time
two policemen came up, drew short swords
and knocked him down again. They then
stood back and let the crowd stao and beat
him. Riggin seemed 70 oe asking protec-
tion Of the police when they knocked him
down
Afterward squad Of soldiers appeared
marching by twos commanded oy a
mounted officer. They marched 70 within
six feet from where johnson was holding
Higgins in his arms. There they halted,
and the first two soldiers leyelled their
rifles and fred at the two American sail
ors. I was about fifteen feet on 10 one
side said LANCER; mo one was between
me and them, the crowd being back OF the
soldiers at that moment.
No other shots were fired By any one. i
saw the soldiers distinctly level their rifles
az the Baltimore men and IRE. The crowd
had drawn back when the soldiers came up
leaving clear passage between Riggin and
the soldiers
After the first shot was fired the soldiers
pressed forward q little. and could not see
the second rife fired but am sureit was one
of the leading soldiers that nred. Ad-
iourned till tomorrow.

Arrested In Ireland for Having Explosives
for Improper Purposes-Great Discover
les Alleged to Have Been Made.
LONDON, January S.-Ever since the
explosion at Dublin Castle the police
throughout the United Kingdom have
been more than usually vigilant in look
ing for individuals who are the enemies
of law and order, and more particularly
for those who attempt to lend force to
their arguments by the use OF dYna-
mite.
To-day the police claim they have
effected the arrest OF a group OF anar-
chists in WalStall. A man recently
Dassing the police station in Tottenham
attracted the attention of the police by
his peculiar manner, and he was taken
into custody as suspicious character.
The police say they soon found ample
Justification for arresting the man.
When he was taken into the police
station he was, OF course, searched, and
upon his person were found papers Civ
ing the details Of Anarchist plots and
giving the names OF persons implicated
in the conspiracy. A package he was
carving was found to contain bottle
labeled chloroform.
The papers showed that the head
quarters were at Waltstall and steps
were Immediately taken TO place them
under arrest. The result was that a
Frenchman named Victor Gales, and
Mark Pibelne, with whom Gales was
living, aud Frederick Charles, all re-
siding at Waltstall, were soon in custo-
dy.
The prisoners are each about thirty
wears Of age. They belonged to a So
cIalist club sn Walstall. The club room
and the residences Of the prisoners
were searched by the police and the in
yestigation led to the most important
discoveries concerning the machina-
tions and work of the piotters.
The prisoners were arraigned in court,
and charged with having in their pos
session explosives which they intended
TO devote to unlawful purposes. The
Chief Constable asked for an adjourn
ment OF the case, limiting that 1t was
nrobable that other arrests would short
" follow. The prisoners were remand
ed for week.

AN ALLEGED COMBINE
For Presidential Purposes Between
Hill and German.
A STORY AFLOAT IN WASHINGTON
To the Effect That Hill Has Determined That Since
He Cannot Get the Nomination, the Next Best
Thing is to Name Senator German
For the Placa
spscsa. telegram to the Register.

WASHINGTON, D. c. January S.-Sen-
ator Hill, of New York, being a new
man In the Senate and unfamiliar with
the routine of business, has naturally
turned to Senator German, thorough
ly experienced man and democratic
leader, for enlightenment and guidance.
This fact has at once been seized hold
of by the sensational political prognos-
ticators as an Indication that Hill and
German have formed combine" for
political purposes.
A sample of the story Is the follow
ing. This story says that the close as
sociation between Hill and German has
caused much uneasiness to the Cleve-
land men and has set the gossips' ton
CUES wagging, and the gossip is sur
prisingly harmonious In It's tones ana
unanimous in its conclusion.
"0ur Democratic Senators were dis
cussing the matter at the Capitol this
morning, in the presence OF reporter,
and they spoke as though the apparent
enigma had already been solved. They
were all sure that German will be the
nominee in this year Of grace, and they
expressed themselves as fully satisfied
that an arrangement was being made
which would result In HIPS open en-
dorsement of the Maryland leader.
"The Endorsement need not be looked
for now" they said, "but it would come
as soon as it was necessary. The Sena-
tors were generally OF the opinion that
both Cleveland and Hill were out OF the
race-forced out by each other"
Then 1t is said that "Hill is fully
aware of the fact that Cleveland's oppo-
sition will prevent him from getting his
hands on the nomination and IS there
fore aiming to do the best thing possi-
BILE under the circumstances, viz, name
the nominee, and the nominee is to be
Arthur p. German"

Nerglng Upon H.
ST. PETERSBURG, January s.-A cor
respondent making a tour OF RiaZa,
writes as follows:
Absolute starvation is rare, but
majority of the Peasants are verging
on that condition. The local gentry
find it difficult to estimate the real con-
dition OF the Peasants owing to their
complete want Of touch with them.
The officials declare that the Peasants
knowing that relief is coming, conceal
their stores and fabricate stories OF dis
tress.
"An assistant of Count Tolstoi refers
To cases of sham starvation Never
theless widespread misery exists and
relief is urgently needed. The distress
is rapidly becoming worse. Some say:
ave expect to be pillaged and to have
our buildings burned down before
spring by people rendered desperate by
famine"
