WAsufNGToH. Dec. 22.-The publication OF
the fact that Speaker Crisp and Don NJ. Dick
inson held an important conference yesterday
aroused great interest at the Capitol and
started anew the discussion IA to the organ
iHation OF the next House. Following close
upon the heels OF tho conference. Speaker
Crisp to-day Is quoted as being in favor OF the
early meeting Of tho next Congress. so that
the organization may be effected. the commits
toes appointed. and decks cleared for prompt
tnrir.reiucing legislation in the fall The
Speaker is quoted in the Errmino Ne,rs as
saving:
II think there Is no doubt that tho majority
OF the D.mocratic members OF both Houses OF
Congress favor the proposition Of m early ok
ira session limited in its objects. They would
/" perfectly willing to meet and sit here for
three or four weeks II that amount OF tims
was necessary TO organize tho House and get
the work on the tarih satisfactorily started.
The prompt revision OF the Law on this subject
10 recognized rs the great duty OF the Demo-
cratic party. The sooner it can he commenced
tho better"
Ivy this statement the Speaker means that
he Is in favor VI the adjournment OF the new
Congress az soon as tho wheels are set in
motion for Il tariff Investigation by a House
committee and the preparation OF a bill TO bs
presented to the Ffty-third Congress- as soon
ns 1t conNenes in regular session. Tho
Speaker says. moreover, that the House could
not do any work at an early session II they
wanted to. He says on this point:
III the plan suggested. Of calling an carly
session only for the organization OF the House
and its comnltteos was adopted. there would
be absolutely nothing for the members to do.
even il they wanted to. 1t would be impossi-
bic to get the estimates OF the departments for
the next years expenses so early. and 1t would
follow. therefore. that the members could not
prepare or pass appropriation bills. 1t would
be foolish to spend the time in discussing the
tariff in GIittering generates That has boon
done IN the last few years to such an extent
TINT tho public is perfect " familiar with tho
differences between the two parties on that
SUBJECT. 1t will undoubtedly take the Ways
and Means Committee several months to pre-
pare well -considered measure upon which to
never refused to ailonrn or take recess when
