What Is Being Said About
Thomas B. Reed.
Public Men Discussing Possibilities
in Washington,
The Next Session of Congress VIII
Probably BE short.

WASHINGTON, July o. Public men In
Washington are already beginning TO d Is.
cuss the probabilities as 10 the leng d OF
the next session of Congress- Opinion
is generally favorable to short session,
and is based largely on the belief that
both parties will be desirous OF getting
away for the campaign at as early date
as possible. Ii is now believed by some
that Mr.. Reed, feeling practically certain
that he Will be elected TO the speakership
has already virtually completed the house
committees, and that at any rate he Will
be able TO announce his appointments
very soon after the convening of the two
houses on the second of December. 1t is
quite generally understood that he has
put in large portion of the time since
the last election in informing himself as
to the qualifications and adaptability to
committee work OF the new members
with view TO being able to make his
selections for committees as intelligently
and promptly as possible. The task he
has doubtless found unusually oner-
Gus, because of the fact that such
large percentage OF the members, and
especially the Republican members, are
men who have never before been in pub
lie life. He has on this account been
compelled to seek information concerning
them from local sources, and the task has
not always been one easy of accomplish
ment. Ordinarily, the important places
on the committees are assigned to
reelected members with whom the
speaker has served and con-
cerning whose qualifications he has some
information at first hand, placing the
newly elected members in the less import
ant places and thus affording them an
opportunity TO display their general cap
abilities for legislative work before assign
ing them to positions in which they
would be responsible for the initiation OF
legislation. 1t was early seen, however,
that this course would not be followed in
the next Congress as il would result in an
uneven distribution OF the work as well as
the honors, not only as applied to mem
bers, but as applied to sections as well.
Should the house committees be an
nounced soon after the beginning OF the
session and that body gets its work well
under way before the Christmas holidays,
il would be decided innovation. Few
Congresses i'm recent years have begun the
session without this plan as part OF Their
| program, and few have succeeded in put
| ting il into execution.
Some of the arguments advanced IN
| favor of a short session are that there Will
| not be the usual amount of general legis'
| lation before Congress; that even though
| the tariff may be taken up II has been sc
recently discussed as TO leave nothing
new to be said upon IL, and that ma
| iority OF both the old political parties
| will prefer to allow the silver question tC
rest with as little agitation as possible on
| the eve OF national election.

HARD AT WORK.
Student Examination for Admission
10 the Bar in Progress.
Hearing Postponed in the Westerly
Town Council Railroad Case.

In Judge Wilbur's court room today IL
young men were engaged in bringing the
knowledge of the law acquired by them
in two or three years stuoy, to the thirty
questions that the committee appointed
by the appellate division OF the Supreme
Court decided they should answer. These
young men will also be busy tomorrow
and the day after answering the ten ques-
tions in each OF the three papers which Is
the daily allotment OF work.
The topics covered are important ones
and require careful attention on the part
OF those seeking to successfully gain ad-
mission to the bar of the State. For
number of years no great amount OF study
was required TO pass one OF the examina-
tions but for over 10 years back the
questions put to candidates have been
more difficult, and now the student must
have given good attention to his work In
order TO answer them in satisfactory
manner.
There were 13 applications filed, but
any misfortune that might arise from this
number was obviated by the failure OF one
student to appear this morning.
John Il. Blodgett, who has presided over
a number of examinations OF this kind,
was in charge of the examination OF the
candidates today. His associates are
Frank W. Tillinghast and Samuel Norris,
Jr. The first paper of the day was on the
statutes of the State, and the paper was
one that thoroughly tested the knowledge
of the applicant on this important, but
altogether neglected topic among the
members of the bar.
The names of the candidates are: Will
lam +. Barry, John r. Began, William j.
Brown, John +. Byrne, John K. Canning,
Thomas Carroll, William j. -Cronin,
Thomas w. Gilchrist, Frank l.. Hockey,
p. Henry Quinn, Herbert A. Rice, Thomas

MUST PRACTICE CIVILITY
RECORDER corr LAYS DOWN RULES
 TO HIS COURT OFFICERS.

From This Time On He Shall Hold Them
 to Strict Observance of Their Duties and
 There Shall Be No Annoyance in Busi-
 ness.
 New York, Jan. 9-Recorder Golf yes- terday had occasion to censure the court attendants whose disorderly and often insolent conduct has long been source of annoyance to those who have busi- ness in the criminal courts. After giv- ing his decision in a minor criminal case he rapped with his pencil on the desk and said:
 From this time on I shall hold you to strict observance of your duties. Yesterday was an exceptional day, but the business of the court to-day must be conducted without annoyance and with proper decorum. The court atten- dants must see that persons who come into this court on business must find seats If there is not sufficient num- Der of seats for those who have business in court, those who have no business and who are occupying seats will have u 6O Ouls l uOllCC llleiL lhC oCOA 0b sAAN end of the court room is slammed very frequently Somebody must be put in charge of the door, both inside and out, who is thoroughly competent and who will see that it Is never slammed re- quest that the attendants in charge see to this in the future. In giving these in structions to the attendants I wish to caution them, also, to be courteous and polite to every person high or low. They must act in proper and respect full manner to everyone, and never be course or impertinent. I do not wish to speak on this subject again, but do think it is high time for those who come here and those who attend here should have some respect for the courts in this land. As it is there is no place where they show less respect. A court of justice is as sacred as temple of re- ligion. The attendants must see that the people observe their rules I have set down, or be quickly elected"
 When the recorder had finished the Tammany placeholders, who have been in the habit of receiving their political friends and office-seekers in the court rooms of the general sessions, looked exceedingly disgusted.

Successful Debut of Miss Mamie Beirne Trowbridge As Singer-NTiss Story's Elocution.
 The recital given in Harmonic hal
 last evening by Miss Anna Warren
 Story, elocutionist; Miss Mamie
 Bierne Trowbridge. soprano; Miss Mar
 tina Johnstone. violinist, and Mrs
 Theodoer Bjoerksten, accompanist. was
 attended by large representation of prominent society people of the city, entirely filling the hall.
 The first number on the program was recitation by Miss Story entitled
 "Haro," by Henry c. Burner. She ren- dered it in a most excellent manner and received much applause.
 Miss Mamie Beirne Trowbridge next sang two songs entitled Tostfs La Serenata" and Margaret Lambs "Ojala. This was Miss Trowbridge's S debut as a singer, and in spite of the fiattering accounts of her talent, which had gone out the greater part of the audience were surprised with her re- markedly sweet and well-trained voice. The very first song she sang durinA the evening, La Serenata," was one in which she exhibited her talent at it's best, as the song seemed peculiarly adapted to her voice. Her voice is flexible and the ease and accuracy with which she produces tones are remarka- ble.
 Another treat was also in wait for the audience in the violin playing 0. Miss Martina Johnstone Her first piece was Kela Bela's "Ungarisches Idyl," which she rendered finely. Miss Story then recited a pathetic selection by Margaret Manton Merrill entitled "The Soul of the Violin," after which she followed with a comic selection in the French dialect entitled "An Introduce tion' by Jenny Thenard. She display ed her talent admirably in both selec- tion. The selection entitled "The Soul of the Violin" told the story of a starving musician and his love for his Cremona violin. It was most pathetic and Miss Story recited it in manner which could hardly have failed to deeply move all who heard her. Some thought that this was her most bril- liant efforts during the evening,
 Miss Trowbr1dge then sang Chamin- ade's Chant d. Amour and Fritz Arlbergs "Ich Halte Ihr Die Augen zu" After the latter song she was presented with some very choice bouquets of cut flowers and received an encore, to which she responded Miss Johnstone then played a violin solo, "Balade ct Polonaise," by Vieux- temps, in an excellent and praisewor- thy manner. Miss Story then recited Act 1, Scene V, and Act 5, Scene l. from Shakespeares Macbeth Her recitation was most dramatic and inn The entertainment closed with two pressive, and was much appauded. songs, with violin obligato, by Miss and Miss Johnstone en- titled "Waldesgreess, " by Reinecke, and the "Spring Song" by Well.

IS FRAUGHT WITH DANGER.
HOW DEMOCRATS LOOK UPON THE KILLING or THE CURRENCY BILE.

Conferences With Republicans and the
 Silver Men Have Been Long and Earnest
 There Win Soon be Thorough Under
 standing.
 Washington, Jan. 9.--The action of the house to-day in practically killing the currency bill is looked upon by democrats in the senate as fraught with danger to the party in power As soon as it was known that special meeting of the senate finance committee was to be held to consider the situation there were a number of hurried conferences of republicans.
 Most of the republican steering com mittee also consulted with their col leagues, and conferences with silver men were long and earnest. The repub- lican members of the finance committee will come to a thorough understanding as to what their policy shall be- Every republican member of the committee was asked to be present tomorrow.
 The United Press is able to state upon the authority of the leading silver re- publicans of the senate and of promi- nent senators in the class regarded as favoring an absolute gold standard that in the matter of what program shall be carried out the two wings of the party are in entire accord. Upon this same authority it can be stated the republi- cans will not agree to any financial or currency legislation at this sesion of congress.
