DEMOCRATS GETTING ANyIOI.S

Washington, Jan. "a Special. Although there was
no open opposition to the adjournment Of the House
today after sitting Of only fifty minutes
count OF the death of Associate Justice Lamar. there
was a good deal Of unfavorahe comment afterward
among leading Democrats who realize that this Con
grcss will expire. leaving enormous amount
Of work undone. some OF them have even begun to
feel anxious in regard 10 the appropriation bills which
are In an unusually backward condition. and this
anxiety Is Intensified by the evident lack OF interest
felt by Democrats generally in the business OF lcgs-
aton. As soon rs the House adjourned. Chairman
Holman. Of the Appropriations Committee. took steps
to have the House meet at IL m. tomorrow. and n
resolution To that effect will doubtless he adopted
II will be Of little advantage. however. unless Rep
rcsentatives shake on their lethargy and Indifference
and evince spirit Of industry and punctuality which
they have seldom exhibited since the present House
OF Representatives organized In December 1891.
