DICKENS on TIE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.-The
House Of Representatives of the Fifty
second Congress has declared its emphatic
hostility to subsidies, bounties and land
grants, and pronounced in favor of rigid re.
urenchment in the appropriations of the
Government. The Holman resolution in its
entirety was to-day finally anopted by the
House, but not until after its author had
onsented that it should be interpreted in a
'nse broad enough to permit any and all
appropriate and Legitimate legislation. -
The advocates of the Worlds Fair appro-
pfiation are tonight finding great comfort
in the Interpretation, and even the friends
Of the mail steamship subsidies and sugar
bounty maintain that the pledge of the
Government having been once passed, ap-
preparations to fulfill those obligations are
but appropriate and legitimate legisla-
lion"
Holman Ready With Another Surprise.
When the resolutions were reached, in the
order Of unfinished business, it was gener-
silly expected that Nh. Holman, who had
himself Yesterday entered a motion for the
reconsideration of the order for the previous

modifying the sweeping character of the
second resolution. But the Chairman of the
appropriations Committee surprised all but
q few Of his confdants by refusing to do
anything of the kind.
Mr. Speaker. said Mr.. Holman, :last
evening I entered motion to reconsider
The vote by which the previous question
had been ordered. On reflection, / desire,
1fI am SO authorized under the rules, to
Withdraw that notion
That can only be done bv unanimous
consent said the Speaker.
Then I ask ior unanimous consent" said
Mr. holman, and no one objecting, his
motion was Withdrawn,
Flenty of Latitude Concealed.
Upon 4 careful examination of the sec
ond resolution" resumed MI Holman,
''aud after consulting with gentlemen whose
judgments are entitled to great respect, I
have reached the conclusion for myself at
least, that the resolution is broad enough to
permit any and all appropriate and legiti-
mate legislation +"
Like the Chicago Fair for instanee?'
inquired Mr.. Reed. Laughter
To this query Mr.. Holman returned no
answer
As 1 said" resumed Mr. Holman, ''it is,
! think, broad enough TO cover all appropri-
are ald Legitimate legislation, including all
legislation like private pension bills and
The like, as they ali belong to departments
Of the Government The three great de-
laumcnts Of the Government cover the
whole field Of Government administration.
81 would like TO vote for the first resolu-
uon, but not for the second said Mr.. Hen
dcrson, OF Iowa. 81 ask that it be divided
Division of the Resolution.
The Speaker pro TEN. decided that the
resolution could be divided.
Mr. DirTlev Of Maine, inquired whether
II would be in order TO move to commit the
resolution, with instructions to report back
lis resolution read yesterday, broadening
the scope OF the declaration, but the Speak
er ruled that 1t would not, as one motion
had already been yesterday made to COM
NIr Henderson, of Iowa, after consulta-
Eion with AJr. Dingley, withdrew his de-
Iaut Tor q division of the resolution, but
t'- Tracey. OF New York, at once renewed
-He demand. SO the question was taken on

Mr.. Holman Talks OF the Matter.
An Associated Press reporter asked Mr.
Holman whether he considered that his
resolution would preclude an appropriation
or loan for the benefit of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition at Chicago.
s'Ilat viii depend, " said he, "upon the
construction placed upon the legislation
rhal we have already had in regard TO the
Worlds Fair. [ have not the different acts
sufficiently in mind to be able to express
ANY or5nion on the subject. 1t will depend |
TO what extent the Government has been |
committed to the Worlds Fair Whatever
approximations are made in conformity with
those resolutions have got to be made for
public purposes. Appropriations can be
made for a public object, and the Worlds
Fair appropriations will depend upon pre-
ceCiug legislation. " =
