WORK OUTLINED
Very Good Idea of What Is to Be
Done in the House in the
Near Future.
Bankruptcy Bill Will Have First
Place After the Appro-
priations.
Ways and Means Committee Will
Likely Take Up Currency
Reform Later.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Although no
formal action has been taken a pretty
general understanding has been reached
by the leaders in the house of represen.
tatives as to the course Of legislation in
the near future. This contemplates
the disposal Of appropriation bills as
fast as they are ready for consideration.
After these the bankruptcy bill will be
given the first opportunity for hear.
ing. This measure will be reported by
Chairman Henderson Of the judiciary
committee, before the holiday recess,
but it viii not be taken up by the house
that Speaker Reed and the committee
on rules will be disposed to give this
bill every advantage in the way Of De-
curing early time for debate.
It is equally well understood that for
the present there will be no effort to
take up financial legislation on the
floor of the house. This is due mainly
to the fact that strong impression
prevails among members Of the house
that the committee on banking and
currency will not be able to reconcile
the many conflicting interests inside
the committee.
Ways and Means Take Hold.
These represent all shades of financial
belief and are so much at variance that
1t is not expected majority can be
rallied for any proposition. Under such
circumstances the purpose is to await
the action or the deadlock in that com.
mittee. The ways and means commit.
tee will do nothing at present in the
way Of framing financial legislation.
If, however, it becomes evident that the
committee on banking currency is at q
standstill then the ways and means
committee will enter the field Of finan.
cial legislation and will frame bill on
broad lines calculated to meet the pres
ent financial requirements. In the
meantime the subject will be kept in
the back ground as much as possible.
Aside from the bankruptcy and ap.
preparation bills some emergency meas.
ures such as that relating to Bering sea
introduced by Mr.. Hit, will have q
hearing as they involve questions of
general policy and are not likely to
meet with opposition. With these ex.
ceptions the disposition Of the house
leaders will be to keep legislation to the
rear.

Northwestern Flour Output.

MlNNEAPoLIs, Dec. l0.-According to
The Northwestern Miller the -four out
put last week at Minneapolis was
BAL, 1875 barrels, against 292,l75 the
previous week and SO7,225 in 1896.
Superior and Duluth mills ground $4,000
barrels last week, against 84,54O the
week before, and 83, in 1896. The
-four market was quiet with everybody
last week. The weakness of wheat
tended to keep domestic buyers out of
the market, and the trade done in that
quarter was very light.
