CONCESSION TO mr.. REED.


Democrats Adopt an Amendment to the
Rules Advocated by the Ex-speaker.
WASHINGTON. Feb. .3-The House of Rep
resentatives spent another monotonous day
In the discussion of the rules. and it is now
evident that the first two months of the
session will close with the rules of pro-
cedure of the Fifty-second Congress still
under consideration. The progress made
to-day was very slight, but 1t was marked
by one very significant event-the adop-
ton of an amendment proposed by Mr..
Dlngley, of the Republican side, and chiefly
supported by e~x-Speaker Reed. This
amendment, too, Is one of the most impor-
tant thus far proposed to the com-
mittee's report. as it provides that
all senate amendments to House bills.
other than appropriation bills. shall
be considered as soon as laid before
the House by the Speaker. This is consid-
cred an important step towards the practi-
cal expedition of legislation and no stronge
evidence of the disposition to consider the
rules IN q non-partisan spirit could be
afforded than in the general support which
the amendment of Messrs. Dingley and
Reed to-day received from the Demo-
cratic side.
The pending motion this morning was
made by Mr.. Boatner of Louisiana. striking
out the clause permitting general legisla-
tion on appropriation bills, provided that.

In advocating this motion, Dir. BOatner
argued that the appropriations of previous
Congresses would show that expenditures
could De reduced constitutiopally and
reasonably without the House depriving
powers with the Senate and IL should not
ssurrender them.
Mr.. Bowers of California said that he

were putting the race mp wrong. and If

that they could not win with the hand
