Not Later Than January 3ist

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 23.-'I am
in fun sympathy" said Speaker Crisp
this morning with the letter and spirit
OF these resolutions"
The Speaker held in his hand a copy Of
a New York paper, containing the text
Of the resolutions adopted by the Tam
many Hall Committee on organization
az their meeting Thursday night The
Substance Of the resolutions was that
popular doubt and uncertainty as to the
outcome Of the pending tariff legislation
should not be permitted further to harass
business ventures to great injury
and suffering Of both the employer and
Hall, therefore, urges speedy passage Of
the proposed tariff law
'"lhe Democratic majority OF the
House" continued Crisp, will use every
effort to send the tariff bill 20 the Senate
by the last Of January. That will leave
twenty nine days. including Sundays, in
which the bill may be debated. The time
is sufficient. We have. of course, no de-
sire to prevent our Republican friends
from giving the fullest expression to
their opposition to the measure but the
country IS demanding a speedy settlement
Of the matter, and with this demand we
purpose complying.
IF the Republicans who wish to speak
outnumber the calendar days Of the
month, then the legislative days must be
increased We shall meet at II o'clock
and sit until g. If we need more time
we shall have night sessions. Under any
circumstances, the bill viii pass the
House not later than January Sls."

The Statue OF Gen. Scott Found 10 BE Shift

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Dec. 23.--Start-
ling as it may seem, 1t is a fact that
the equestrian statue Of General Scott

way moved out of position. The matter

VIM. Wilson. commissioner OF public
buildings and grounds, q few days ago. in

change had not affected it's equilibrium

danger OF falling, unless the movement

however, 10 put it back where II belonged.
This was successfully accomplished this
week by large force OF men. with the
aid Of jacks. Massive bronze bolts were
utilized in securing the statue TO it's

impossible TO explain the action OF the
statue. There are all sorts of theories.

Is that the statue was forced out OF
position by the fierce hurricane that vis-
tied the city in November. 1891. The
statue IS very much exposed and un-
doubtedly felt the full force of the wind
ON that occasion. Colonel Wilson said
to a reporter to-day, that he felt very
grateful TO his anonymous correspon-
dent for calling his attention 10 the mat
