The cloak rooms at the sides of the pres
ent hall will be abolished, leaving only
barber shop at the north end of each sec
ton. The Speakers lobby at the south OF
the present hall, which is now reserved eN-
clusively for members, will become re-
ception hall like the marble room at the
Senate end of the Capitol.
The present side galleries will be entire
ly removed, and others nearer in to the
centre line will take their places. The
space thus left vacant will be turned into
the corridors on the gallery floor. The
north and south galleries VIII not be dis
turbed This will reduce the total seating
capacity only very slightly. as the side
galleries will be wider than they now are.
1t is believed that it will be easier to
ventilate the smaller hall than il is the
present one. and it is quite certain that
the acoustics will be incomparably better.
At present the House is too large and too
comfortable, encouraging idle members to
remain in their seats and obstruct the
business OF the House by talking and
laughing. Only fraction of the memb rs
can hear any speaker plainly unless he has
an unusually distinct utterance. and the
House is unusually still.
The new plan will make the Iionss much
like the English House OF CONNIE as far
as its ground plan Is concerned. Its re
form has been advocated for years.

TO CHANGE THE HOUSE.
\ Plan TO Reduce It's Size and Re-
move the Desks.


The House OF Representatives is 10 be
remodeled practically on the plans so long
advocated by Speaker Reed. resolution
has been introduced and referred to the
Committee on Ventilation and Acoustics,
directing the Architect of the Capitol to
make the required changes. The reso-
luton will be considered in the House next
week and it is expected viii be adopted
by an almost unanimous vote.
The plans for the new chamber have
been drawn up by Representative Heatwo e,
chairman of the committee. They will Sc
cure two objects: first the better sentila-
tion OF the chamber and second, the re-
duction OF its size by about one-half, thus
making it possible for members to be
clearly heard all over it.
There has been great and increasing COM
plant in late years over the poor ventila-
tiOn of the House. Members became con-
vinced long ago that great deal of the
sickness which they suffer during their
Congressional terms is due to the foul at
mosphere in which they are compelled to
spend a great deal of the day.
The present chamber will be divided by
TWO north and south partitions which will
dissect it into three parts. the middle one
being about as large as the other two put
together The Speakers desk will occupy
It's present position. but through the

THE CANAL BILL.
Mr.. Hepburn Will Add II to the
Sundry Civil.

The sensation of the day yesterday was
the announcement in the House by Chair
man Hepburn of the Commerce Committee
| that he would at the proper time offer the
Nicaragua Canal bill reported by his COM
mittec an amendment to the sundry
civil bill now under consideration in the
House. He sent the bill to the Clerks
desk and had it read and then said:
Il desire TO say that l am moved TO offer
this amendment on account of the state
ment of Mr.. Cannon yesterday, which
believe to have been authoritative, that 1t
was not the intention to allow considera-
tion of the bill at this session. recog
nize that it is entirely possible TO obstruet
the taking up of the bill as an independent
measure, and l therefore offer this amend
ment."
This brings the canal fight TO a crisis.
MIR. Hepburn, becoming alarmed by the eff
forts of those interested in the river and
! harbor bill to prevent the Senate Com
merce Committee from adding the canal TO
that measure, yesterday took hint from
The Times and decided to turn his efforts
| toward placing it on the sundry civil bill
attempting to influence the Senate Com
mittee on Appropriations. but TO strike at
the very root of the House obstruction and
see if he could get it on in that body.
The objection to beginning operations In
the House is that point of order lies
against the amendment as being new leg
, islation. The Speaker, when consulted
yesterday morning by friends of the canal,
announced that he would certainly rule
against il on that ground. Then the
friends of the measure consulted among
how and appeal from the decision OF the
Chair when the time comes for action.
When this is done, the question will
come to an issue. If the House override
the Chair. the canal measure will be upon
the bill; If sufficient number of friends
of the canal yet refuse to joint in this rev.
olutionary disregard of the Reed rules, it
will still be possible to appeal to the Sen
ate Committee to include it. If so includ-
ed by the Senate no point of order can lie
against il.
Even if the friends of the amendment
are not strong enough to win on an appeal
from the Chair, they will probably be able
to show sufficient strength to induce the
Senate to act despite Mr. Cannon's decara-
tion that the bill that carried it should
never ge, out Of Committee OF the Whole
