IT IS SAID THAT encouraged by their
success in forcing the amendment re-
moving the differential duty on sugar
from the Cuban reciprocity bill, the in
surgent republican leaders now have a
scheme to change the method Of the
selection OF the committee Oh rules and
put the government Of the House 10 the
hands of the members. Under the
Reed rules and their various modi6ca-
tons, the House, composed OF 357
members, is absolutely the creature OF

cans, the democratic leader and one
other democrat. The democrats are on

or method Of working, As shown by
Mr.. Cushman on Friday the ordinary
member has no legislative functions at
all. He does what the committee on
rules tells him to do. This committee
decides whether bills shall be taken up.
whether any shall be amended; how
long the debate shall be; how the time
shall be divided, and, in fact, does all
the thinking for the House. The com.
mittee on rules, like all other House
committees, Is now appointed by the
Speaker. He makes sure to put bis

BURNING OF A STEAMER.

Between fifty and sixty lives were

FIRE was discovered at 4:05 o'clock 10

lost their lives were burned to death In
their berths. Others escaped the
flames only to perish in the Ohio river.
The survivors, scantily clad, huddled
about bonfres on the river bank for
ten hours, when help finally arrived.
The City OF Pittsburg was q side

Cincinnati for Memphis. Most OF the
passengers were still in bed when the
alarm was sounded. The passengers
rushed from their stat erooms and a
frightful panic ensued. The appeals OF

MONDAY EVENING. APRIL 81, 1902


AMONG Congressman and in oihcis'
circles 10 Washington nearly all interest
in the Cuban question is overshadowed
for the present by the concern felt over
the events 10 the House on Friday.
The question 90 to what will be the
future of the republican insurgents In
the House is regarded as OF greater I'M
portance Just now than the fate OF the
Cuban bill. There is no concealing the
fact that the situation In the House is
extremely important from the point Of
view of the House leaders. They have
been ridden down and overruled In
wsy which is most emphatic and sig-
ni6csnt. It brings to the front I'm
mediately the question of what shall be
done to preserve the prestige OF the
leaders in orderto carry out the policies
OF the party and the administration Tor
the remainder of this Congress. Inc
most conservative opinion now ex-
pressed is that the leaders Will
be compelled Immediately to
adopt a conciliatory programme. IL is
known, that for some time there has
been a spirit of resentment In the RANK
and file OF the republicans OF the House
against the autocrscy Of the leaders.
This feeling of resentment has been
growing for weeks. 1t received ex-
preston on Thursday 10 the speech OF
Mr.. Cushman who held up to ridioule
the position OF the members uuder the
rules OF the House. His remarks express
something at least of the general feel
ing existing in many republican State
delegations. The decisive overruling
OF the House leadership on Friday en-
phasizsd the situation. 1t showed the
House leaders that q ststs of affairs
exists among the rank and file of the
republicans which cannot longer be
overlooked. One OF two courses
mu.t be followed: Either policy OF
co Citation must be adopted or the
House leaders must stand firm in their
alleged isolated position Of direction and
command. The conservative opinion
expressed about the House is that the
leaders will be compelled to adopt the
policy of Cancellation; that there will
be, and must be, an effort to reach an
understanding between the little group
OF three or four men who have been
accustomed to direct the affairs OF the
House and the great body OF represent
atives who might or might not differ on
important party questions. There is
no mistaking the significance OF Fri
DAYS vote. II made public record OF q
stats of affairs which has been recog-
nizsd to exist for some time. The dis
position OF republicans to yield to party
discipline is we'll known. The fact that
there has been such positive revolt
from party discipline is taken by many
10 indicate the necessity of frequent
conferences, with the end in view Of
destroying the old system, even If at
the sacrifice OF arbitrary opinions en-
tertained by few leaders. Therefore
1t is believed that before the Cuban
reciprocity bill comes back from the
Senate there will be radical revision
of the present system existing in the
control of the House, and that the
House leaders will be compelled 10 hold
some conferences with factions which
hitherto have been overlooked 10 the
equation.
