WASHINGTON, ID. e., Dec. % J
Speaker Crisp will be in New York ON
Tuesday or at the latest ON Wednesday next,
and whatever else may be assigned as the
motive for his visit, his chief reason for go
ing is to see Prcsidcnt-elect Cleveland. He
has been much disturbed of late by the
stories which have come to him of opposition
to his reelection as speaker, and he has
been alarmed more than all else at the posi-
tion which friends of Mr. Cleveland have at
times represented that gentleman as taking
Mr.. Clevelaud's frequently expressed ad-
miraton for Mr.. w l.. Wilson of West
Virginia indicates him as the man to
lead the movement against Crisp and
the latter, when he sees the prcsidcnt-elcct
will not only discuss the question OF an
extra session of congress, but will cndeavor
to find out Just what he has to expect in the
way of opposition from the incoming admin.
istration.
Not Pleased with Springer.
Mr.. Crisp recognizes that the policy of Mr.
Springer, the pres mt chairman of the ways
and means committee, of reforming" tho
tariff by specific bills has been very nsats-
factory to prcsidcnt-clcct Cleveland and his
friends in the house of representatives, and
that their support of Mr.. Wilson, who is 4
radical tariff reformer is based more on MIR
Crisp's chairman of the ways and means
committee than on personal hostility to the
speaker himself.
1t is understood that Speaker Crisp is will
ing to entirely reorganize that committee
placing Mr. Wilson a the head and associa t.
ing with him any gentleman Mr.. Cleveland
may select, SO that the framing of the new
| tariff bill can be accomplished in IA committee
which is in entire harmony with Mr.. Clevc
| lands views. In regard to the question OF
| calling an extra session, Speaker Crisp
though himself quoted as favoring q spring
meeting, is willing, if Mr.. Cleveland so de
! sires. to use all the influence of his position
! in defeating the schemes of those members
! of the present house who threaten to max,
an extra session unavoidable by placing some
obnoxious rider on one of the great apprO
| priation bills and thus insuring its defeat il
| the senate.
