CRISP AT THE CAPITAL.
cLOSETED WITH CARLISLE HE RE-
VIEWS THE SITUATION.
Says the House Rules May be So Amend
ed as to Place Responsibility where It
Belopgs-Siiver Men Developing a De-
termined Opposition.

WAsHINGToN, July 3.-speaker Crisp
arrived from the south early this morning.
Soon after arriving he went to the treasury,
where he had q conference with the secre-
tary OF the treasury. The speaker declined
to state the subject matter OF this confer
encs, but it is inferred that it pertained to
contemplated legislation In line with tho
known policy of the president
"My visit to Washington at this time, 1"
taid MIR. Crisp, twas not the outcome of
the call for the early session OF Congress,
for l did not know of it until l was the
train coming this way. believe the ac-
ton of the president to be exceedingly wise
and think all factions can agree upon that
Whether the Sherman purchasing act will
be repealed is question l am unable to an-
swer.n
Mr. Crisp also intimated that there would
probably be a change in tho rules OF the
House that would permit the majority to
shoulder the responsibility of such action as
might be determined upon. "Whatever is
done" continued Mr.. Crisp, cit is certain
there will be no curtailment of full and lib
eral debate. Financial matters will come
frst before this Congress for consideration,
for that is the reason for tho call Of the ex-
ira session.
How long the extraordinary session will
last no one can tell, for there are other
things members will naturally be DESTROYS
of entering upon, notably the tariff. There
will be no delay in getting to work upon
this most important subject"
Mr.. Crisp declined to speak concerning
the organization of the committees of the
House, saying he had given the matter no
consideration. He Is a candidate for re-
election as speaker.

and detectives are looking for Others i'm

own It's own plant.
When the Council met this evening.
Mayor II. ;. Pingree arose and pulled from
his pocket $500 which. he declared, had
been given to Alderman Protiva by Man
ager Fitzgerald. as the first payment
eof $1,000, to secure the alderman's vote in
favor of n proposition TO open bids for the
lighting Of the city for the next three
years. instead of providing for a munich
pal plant rs the people desired. This
caused q sensation and resulted in the
scheme for the municipal ownership of an
electric lighting plant being carried almost
unanimously. Ii is said shat other alder
men besides Protivs had accepted brIbes
from the company. n had kept the money
and would have voted against the PROPOSE
ton for the city plant. The exposure,
however, frightened them. aud they de.
