WASHINGTON. Jan. l6-The Houso of Representatives of tho Fifty-secoud Congress has not followed the agRres- sive leade ship of Chairman Holman of the Appropriations committee in de- claring that the appropriations of the Congress shall be strictly limited 0 the moneys necessary to carry on tho several departments of the government For four hours fierce warfare of debate waged in the House to-day over the proposition of the gentleman from Inc diana and when an adjournment wa taken Mir. Holman had so far reosded from the strict spirit of his resolutioos as to ask that the previous question bo reconsidered in order that he might consider the advisability of accepting an amendment modifying the sweep- ing declaration of the second clause q the resolutions.
 :. That many Democrats, if forced to meet the issue presented by the gentle men fromsIndiana, will vote against the resolution there is no doubt As the resolutions at present read they are generally interpreted as presenting m insuperable bar not only to stsamship subsidies, but also to sugar bounty, the Nicaragua canal bill. the world's fair loan, the improvement of riven and harbors, appropriations for public buildings throughout the Union, ap- propriations for Indian depredations, and adjudicated cases from the Court of Claims. Naturally, therefore. ths chairman of the Appropriations con mittee had arrayed against him tho | friends of all the interests ana ento9- prises SO vitally affected, and in tho absence of caucus decree 1t was imr possible to draw the party lines in forcing the passage of . resolution q such radical character.
 After an all day discussion lr. Springer moved that the Houss adr journ and pending this wished to IT. troduce his bill placing wool on tho free list. To this, however, Mir. Owene of Ohio objected, and the Houss d. journed.
