HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Will Its Membership be Increased by
 the Forthcoming Apportionment?

What effect the increase of popula- tion, as shown by the twelfth census, is to have upon the size of the house of representatives will doubtless continue to be fruitful subject for speculation until congress itself settles the ques- ton. It seems to be generally assumed that the number of representatives will Ee increased, as has been the case at each apportiOnment save that under the census of 1S40 when the member ship was reduced from 240 to 22S. It did not reach the former figure again until 1S60 when the number was 243. The next increase was large to 293. fol- lowed by 325 in 1880. and 356 in 1890. The fixing of the ratio, and, conse- quently, of the number Of representa- tives, is, of course, an arbitrary ar engagement the only restraint upon con- gress being the constitutional reuuire- ment that each state shall have at least one representative, and the accepted precedent that the existing representa- ton of a state is not to be reduced Just how many representatives any state will be entitled to, whether under the present ratio or some other. cannot be figured out until the full statistics of population are available. which will not be until some months hence.
 It is apparent, however. that any considerable increase will seriously crowd the present hall of the house at Washington. So long as every mem Der must have a desk and an armchair the physical difficulties of properly seating the members must soon reach q climax. Resort to the custom of tn house of commons, where benches only are provided for members. would re- lieve the difficulty, and do away with the indefeEsible practice of using the desks in the hall of the house as places. not for attending to the business be fore the house, but for writing letters, preparing speeches, and reading news papers. Compared with European bod ies the house of representatives is not immoderately large, but if further in crease is thought advisable, a better plan than the present for the accommo- dation of the members ought by all means to be devised.-New York Even ing Post.

TO ARREST TAYLOR
Proposed Move of Goebel Men
In Kentucky.
The Alleged Confession of
Prisoner Culton.
1t Is Stated That He duplicates
Taylor In tho Conspiracy
to Kill Coebel.

FRANKFORT, KY. March 2S.--The
arrest of Governor William S. Taylor, it
is strongly intimated, will be the next
step in the proceedings to fix the respon-
sibility for the murder Of William Goe-
bel.
The report that Henry T.. Youtsey, one
of the men accused of completely in Will
liam Goebers murder, had made revela-
tions to the prosecution is unfounded.
Ioutsey not only maintained his own
innocence, but said that he stood ready
at any time to tell all he knows, nothing
Of which is of n criminal nature. Yout-
sey's attorneys say they will go before
Judge Moore tomorrow and ask for an
immediate examining trial.
One of the leaders in the prosecution
said: "Mr. Youtsey told us nothing that
we did not know already. We gained
nothing from him, but we were compen-
sated for the loss of what we hoped to
extract from him by the information we
got from Mr.. Culton."
w. III. Culton, who waived examina-
tion and was held over to the circuit
court, went to the Capitol hotel last night,
where he was in conference with the at
torneys for the prosecution for over two
hours. He was accompanied by his
brother-in-law, e. Il. Hogg, who is also
his attorney. 1t was reported at the time
that Culton had made some kind of a
confession, but later il developed that the
information gained was not at all sweep
ing in character, as ii was ut first report
ed. Culton's friends who are in his con-
tidence state that his statement was not
in the nature of confession, but they
admit that he gave the prosecution such
information as he had and which had
heretofore not come out The conference
between Culton and the attorneys took
place in the room of Colonel Il. c. Camp
bell, commonwealth attorney of Frank
lin county; Attorney Polsgrove, Rev. Mr..
Culton, father of the prisoner, and e. f..
Hogg.
The details of Culton's statement have
been kept secret, but it is rumored that
Culton tried to throw the blame on Gov
ernor Taylor and that Taylor himself is
to be arrested. Taylors friends say
such an attempt will be resisted. They
stigmatize the whole proceeding as a
Democratic plot.
While this was going on Henry f..
Youtsey, the auditors clerk who was ar
rested at noon and locked up in Jail
charged with being an accessory, sent
for Colonel Campbell, and the latter Wis
tied him at the Jail and was closeted with
him for some time. Youtsey when he
was arrested told the officers that the
prosecution had promised not to arrest
him. and he complained that that side
had broken faith with him.

Hills and the Heresy Hunters.

NEW YORK, March 2S. - Rev. DR..
Newell Dwight Hills, pastor of Plym-
outh church, has sent what is practically
his letter of resignation to the Chicago
presbytery. DIR. Hills takes the ground
that it would be better on his part to sac
rifce anything rather than stir up trouble
in the Christian church. When seen at
his home in Brooklyn. he said that he
greatly regretted the discussion and agi-
tation which had been precipitated by
his sermon of Sunday last on the Auto
matte Judgment Seat of Man" The
general views expressed then. however,
he had held for long time, but in the
interest of peace and harmony he be-
leved it would be better for him to with
draw. The action taken by the presby-
terry was no more thanmight be expected

American Trolley In Geneva.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Henry
Il. Buffers of San Francisco, who was
prominently identified with the construc-
ton and exploitation of street railways in
Cape Town, Africa, and in the City of
Mexico, is now engaged in the construc-
ton of an electric street railway in Gene
va, which will be completed within the
next few months. This enterprise is the
result of a casual visit to Geneva by Mr..
Buffers about two and a half years ago.
At that time he found n congested popu-
lation, badly served by old fashioned
steam tramways and horse cars, and he
secured control of the franchise of the
principal companies and organized them
for the operation of an electric street
railway system on the American plan.
French and English capitalists are large
ly interested in the enterprise with Mr..
Buffers.
