one motion for the previous question.
Heretofore II has been tho practice. after the
passage OF tho bill. to offer q motion to amend
the title. This motion was debatable. II one
could get the floor. for an hour. The amended
rules provide that 1t shall not be in order to
move to amend the title until after the passage
OF a bill Then the motion Is decided without
debate.
Heretofore on the question OF the reference
OF bill the bill was debstable. Under the new
rules debate Ia not in order on that motion.
There Is another very i'm portant amendment.
Tho rules OF the Fifty-second Congress- pro-
yided that there should he n call OF com mittees

tion OF m easures reported by the committees
on the House ana Union calendar. Tho new
rules are amended so that you can call up any
bill on either OF the calendars. which puts
private bills into the morning hour IL the COM
mittee secs fit to call them up.
Another amendment permits tho Speaker to
admit representatives Of the press to the lobby
in tho rear OF tho Speakers chair. under
such rulings as he may prescribe. This has
always been done In the Senate. but never In
the House before.
Under tho rules OF the Fifty-second Con-
Press. when tho House was In Committee OF
the Whole. in debate under the flve-m ute
rule. there was no way OF closing debate upon
any amendment except by the com mittee ris-
ing and going back into the House. The House
then closed debate upon the particular para

provide that the COMMITTEES itselfe can close

While not satisfactory to men In the Fifty

MS PROTEGES ROBBED HIM.
Can't. Boive's Kindness to Four HunGr
Boys Cost Him 500

Capt A. l. c. Boive. who commands ono OF
the scows OF the Consolidated Gas Company.
Is veteran OF the civil war. Last Friday after
noon he drew his back pension. which
amounted to $3.50. 1t was too late to de-
post it in a bank. 30 he locked it up in a strong
tin box. which he put in his locker. He then
started out to get shave.
AS he stepped ashore he was approached by
Daniel Daugherty OF 55 West Forty-fourth
street and Matthew Callahan Of sos West For
ty-eghth street. each Is years old. and two
other boys OF about the same age. who said
they were very hungry and begged him to
give them something to do SO that they might
earn enough to buv meal The CAPTAIN be-
lieved their tale and put them to securing the
deck Of his scow. which lay at the foot OF West
Forty fifth street
When he returned shortly afterward the
boys were gone. the cabin window. the locker.
and the box had been forced open. and Sl0O
in gold was missing. The thieves had over
looked 81 200 in bills which lay under some
papers Mt the bottom OF the box. Cart. Boive
gave the police a good description OF the Toys.
and Callahan and DauRherty were arrested
few hours later.
None OF the money was found on them. but
they admitted that they were present when
the other two boys stole 1t. and gave informa-
ton that will probably result in their capture.

tlmorc Priests.


tlmorc Priests.
BALTIMORE. Sept 10.-In Catholic circles
here there seems to be no doubt that the sue
cessor to the Right Rev. John J. Kahn. Bishop
OF Wheeling. who was recently appointed by
the Pope coadjutor to Archbishop Kenrick OF
st. Louis. with the right Of succession. will be
a memb Der OF the Catholic household OF Balti-
more. The two clergymen upon ore OF whom
the honor seems likely to fall are the Rev.
George W. Devine. the pastor of st. Johns
Church. and the Rev J. D. Stafford. one OF the
assistant priests at st. Peters Church, OF
which the venerable Mgr. McColgan. the
Vicar General OF the archdiocese Of Baltimore.
is pastor. The more conservative men in the
Church are Of the opinion that the choice OF the
Pope will be Father Devine. Father Stafford
Is bold and brilliant: Father Devine is cool and
cautious. 1t Is also the opinion of many that
when the time comes Father Devine will have
the influence OF Cardinal Gibbons in his
favor. If this should be a TACT then the pres
emit pastor Of St. Johns will be the future
Bishop Of Wheeling.
Another reason that makes It probable that
Father Stafford will not wear the mantle laid
aside by the prospective Archbishop OF st.
Louis Is the fact that the Church is anxious to
have him Ill chair in the Catholic University
at Washington. Father Devine is Balti-
morean by birth. Father Stafford was born in
Washington. He came to baltimore about
three years ago from Cleveland. and at once
became prominent on account Of his eloQuence
