He Will Save Time.

If Speaker Cannon carries out his
present plans, after the House has dis
posed of the Cuban Reciprocity Bill he
will appoint number OF his other
House committees, so that they may
proceed at once with the work OF pre-
,aring the great appropriation bills for
The coming fiscal year. There are ID
Of these bills, and the Speaker is anx-
ious to have them presented and pass
ID by the House as soon as possible
during the regular session beginning
aext month, so that they can get to
The Senate and become laws before the
summer. The appropriation bills have
always been the great obstacles to an
Early adjournment Of Congress during
he long session, and Speaker Cannon,
rom his experience as chairman Of
he Appropriations Committee of the
House, knows that the sooner the
House committees begin work OH them
The greater the chance for an early adj
.ournment. The estimates for the ap.
preparations are submitted to Congress
On the opening day of the regular ses-
sion Of Congress, but there is a great
1eal OF preliminary work many OF the
committees can do this month in has
ening the drafting OF the bills.

The negro put the revolver in his pocket

The negro, it appears, was standing
IN the vestibule of the house, when some
words passed between them. Mr.. Green
entered the gate. Then Williams opened

Williams declares that this is the con-

as he sat in the captains room in the

leaned back in his chair and very coolly
remarked:

The arrest Of Williams was made by
Policeman Houghtaling. The officer
was going up Park avenue when the

reached the house just after Williams
had fired the last shot. The negro had
been standing in the veStibule all the

and smiled.

This was for rooms at 426 West Fifty

dead before anyone reached him, but q

American interests.
