BETTER TIMES PREDICTED.
What Representative Bnbcock Thinks
of the Business Outlook.

What ReDFe0entat1vc buDcOCk Thinks
of the Business Outlook.
The report that Chairman Babcock of the
republican congressional committee would
retire from the craftsmanship of that COM
mittee next year was confirmed by Mr.. Bab-
cock in conversation with a Star reporter
today.
When reference was made to predictions
that the republican party would be de-
feated in the congressional election in 1868
Mr.. Babcock said that he could not see that
this was a foregone conclusion. He be-
lieved, he said, that the passage Of a tariff
bill early this year would relieve matters
considerably and would put a stop to the
dire forebodings now being uttered in some
quarters. In addition, he thought there
were millions Of money which have been
lying idle which will be offered for fnyest-
ment from now on. This would increase
the supply of money and materially bright
en- things up. He said he knew 1t was not
unusual that the party In power would be
turned down after the first two years hut
the future could not be judged by past con-
ditions Everything was different,
Mr.. Babcock said that southern papers
are already predicting no betterment of tine
times. but he thought they would be de-
oeived. and that the political capital thew
are trying to make now would be turned
Into capital for the republicans.

Senator White said to Star reporter to-
day with reference to the proposition to
turn over the settlement of the Pacific
railroads debts to commission:
Il am utterly opposed to the new plan.
which, 1 observe, is being considered by
the House and Senate committee on Pa
cihc railroads. / regard 1t as a corpora
uon scheme, and am afraid that some of
those who are really anxious to bring
about square result may be misled into
its advocacy. The law as it at present
stands Is sufficient to meet the require
ments of the situation. When the railroad
people find that the government is In earn

propositions will be made than any that
have been heretofore considered. If the
government will stand firm and insist upon
the performance of existing contracts. every

present proposition really comes from, the
railroad. This will no doubt be denied and

to Congress to regulate fares and freights

fully with the problem. and it is unreason-
able to expect that Congress can do SO.
This additional legislative burden ought not
to he cast upon Congress- and that body ia
son of want of time or technical knowledge.
The acceptance of the commission idea will.

House Committee ON Buildings and
Grounds Gives Hearing.
The House committee on public buildings
and grounds today gave a brief hearing
upon the selection Of a site for the propos-
ed new government printing office. Several
attorneys were present to advocate the Sc
lection of sites in which they were inter-
ested.
Gen w. W. Dudley asked the committee
to choose the south half of square 1856. 1t
is located at New Jersey avenue near F
street southeast. The square contains
$1,000 square feet. and adjoins a public
reservation containing 5000 square feet,
which. Gen. Dudley said, could be utilized
by the government. He offered the ground
for $4,000.
Mr.. j. H. Sypher began his argument for
continuing the present location and buying
additional ground by asking the commit
tee whether business man who owned a
manufacturing plant worth a million dol
choose an entirely new site.
Chairman Milliken suggested that the
business man would do 1t II he found that
he could not economically and practically
extend his existing plant.
Mr. Lockwood, of Hickey Lockwood,
appeared in behalf of square 635, between
Delaware avenue. c street, street and
1st street southwest. He offered the
ground at 1926 per square foot. There are
10000 square feet in the square.
Mr. J. F. Brown offered a site in square
5T4 corner of 1st and B streets northwest.
containing III, ,226 square feet at S.75 per
square foot.
After the hearing the committee went
into executive session, but postponed ac-
ton until next Wednesday.

There was brief conference of Cook

the conference assembled there were nine
teen members present, with proxies for
eight othrs. When it was about half over
four more came in. so that thirty-one of
the thirty-eight members will attend the
preliminary caucus. This conference caused
a futter among the managers Of all the
candidates save Lorimer. They held that
all the thirty-one would vote for him.

reason for their joy.

AN OPERATION on THE CzAR.
The Report From St. Petersburg Re-
Garded of Great Importance.

LONDON, January 1S.-In official circles
here and on the continent the greatest i'm
portance is attached to the dispatch from
st. Petersburg yesterday announcing that
DR.. Bergman, the eminent German spe-
cialist, had been summoned to perform an
operation on the czar to prevent the pos
sible extension of a slight osseous ex-
crescence which has appeared on his cram
ium at the place where his majesty was
struck by Japanese fanatic in 1891, while
his majesty, then the czarewitch, was
making tour Of the world, with Prince
George Of Greece, who, by knocking the
assailant down, savCd his companion from
further and possibly more serious injury.
The latter, combined with overwork, has
caused the czar to suffer from vertigo for
some time past.
The mere fact that snch news was issued
from st. Petersburg and was allowed to be
transmitted abroad shows the gravity of
the situation, and the London afternoon
newspapers all comment upon it.
