-,-,.bfnston, Nov 21.-It is by no means
---.,intv that Thomas B. Reed Of Maine.
-r he speaker Of the next House of Rep
..-.r.7tivss. II is rather remarkable
,.., ,ra, out Of S56 members elect to the
--.s-,--+o,lrth congress there are only thir-
lane who served with Mr.. Reed in the
r:s-,..frst congress as republicans. Aside
....,, This fact the friends Of ex-President
,,..~.son and Gov Mckinley will at
,.-,cr 4 combination to defeat Reed, lest
,.gat too great a start on the presidential.
.r.s great majority, therefore, of his own
,,,r-v in the House, are not acquainted
,tr5.rin personally, and are bound by no
,r,-a Ties of friendship. 1t is understood
here that the friends of other presidential

NTH rH3irm&nships. In other COmbina
ions new men will be promised prominent
ol.ees. and the selfshness of politicians
may prevail and the eX-czar be forced 10
.aY.,in on the floor. Already much jeal-
ogsv and ill-feeling is beginning TO crop
ort in Washington al - the republic
cans. Even some of his o,u associates who
will be in the next House, and who grew
r-belious under the iron grip of Mr. Reed $
leadership in the last two sessions will
We, IN, sand before the Maine man when

Senator Blackburns refusal TO talk as
TO what the next session Will accomplish
Is i'm line with his confrees. Those who
have reached. this city so far say that
they have had no opportunity for Iarty
conference, and therefore can express
nothing more than personal opinions.
senator Harris of Tennessee has
refused to talk but it has leaked
out through private sources that
he fathers the movement to pass
through the Senate the pop-gun bills
putting coal and iron and sugar on the
free list IL is well understood that Sen

sion it was Senator Blackburn who
promised Catchings and Crisp on the
mart of the Senate to put through these
supplementary bills if the House would
accept the Senate compromise measure.
III
il.S session, and as chairman of the COM
mr-ec on rules he will be a powerful ad-
jlnct to Senator Harris in this move
meat II is given out by republicans
here that members of their party in the
Senate will not balk the democrats if
they wish to pass these bills.
Hon William r. Morrison, chairman of
the Interstate commerce commission has
about completed his annual report of the
workings of the commission. The most
Important feature of the report will be
its Endorsement of the Patdson bill TO
permit pooling by the railroads under
certain restrictions Speaker Crisp will
set "a day for the discussion of the bill,
and ii quorum can be obtained the
measure will be passed. The only obstacle

President Cleveland intends extending
'he jurisdiction of civil service rules ovel
the Internal revenue service. Cleveland i;
undecided whether to place the entire
service under the civil service at one step
or whether to begin with the gaugers
then Storekeepers. and thus gradually ex
tend the scope of his order. In view o.
the recent disclosures at Pittsburs and II
Baltimore is more than likely that h
viii row include the whole service in on
oIIer lest some of his collectors of in
'frna revenue may feel disposed TO in
'9ntinentally dismiss republicans tina
HsF remain in the service, and fill the
places with democrats before the presl
a~nual order is promulgated This order
issued, will be the most important on
relating to the extension of the civil ser

'9lr and five thousand places, ranging il
salaries from $1,000 TO Sl0o per year.
