PUBLIC BUILDING BILLS.
Prospects That the Claims ofNilkes-
Barre and Altoona viii BE Heard,

Washington, Jan. l9.-SeVeral weeks
ago petition signed by 3O6 members of
the house, was presented to Speaker
Reed asking that forty-three public
building bills now ON the house Calen-
dar should be permitted to come up for
consideration. Today committee of
five, consisting of Air. Hooker, of New
York: Mr.. Hermann, of Oregon; Mr.
Hicks, of Pennsylvania; Mr.. Overstreet,
of Indiana, and Mr.. Curtis, of Kansas,
called at the speakers room to learn
what conclusion the latter had reached
respecting these measures. 1t was eX-
planned to the speaker that the bills in
question had been reported at two diff
ferent times and it was desired a pres
ent to consider only the first batch of
twenty three which, with the appro-
priations, included Altoona, Pa, $l25,-
600; Wilkes Barre, $780,
The speaker referred to the deficit in
the treasury, and impressed the COM
mittee with the fact that congress- a
should practice the most rigid economy
in all its expenditures until at least the
condition of the treasury would warrant
a greater outlay, lie is reported to
have been faVorably impressed by the
arguments presented by he committee
and they believe that their request for
a day will be granted.
