Mr.. Littlefeld Takes a Hand in the
Tariff Battle in the
House.

| In anticipation of a renewal OF yester-
days strenuous proceedings in the House,
| a great crowd of onlookers gathered in the
galleries of the chamber this morning long
| before the announced hour for the Begin
| ming of the session. The very early comers,
| however, were somewhat disappointed, az
the House gave itself over during the morn~
| ing hours to the transaction of dull routine
business. There plenty of evidence of
| the early approach of adjournment. Mes
| sages from the Senate flowed n constantly.
| Oftentimes the secretary of the upper
branch of Congress would arrive with suoh
| frequency as to find the House doorkeepers
| unprepared for his reception. Consequently
| the announcement of the message bearer
| was delayed several times. The messages
dealt with the concurrence of the Senate in
measures emanating from the House. and
| bespoke the rapdity with which minor mat
| ters are being disposed of in both branches
| of the national legislature.
Overnight Announcements.

the senators intended to spend one-salf
their time in the Maltby building and then
rush over to the new and gorgeous struc-
ture for the second half of the day. OR.
perhaps he suggested. they might be con-
tent to rent out one set of offices while oc-
cupying the other.
Mr. DeArmond said there was no rea-
son why the House should not Immediately
ask for another Office building itself. The
only difficulty in the way of this, however.
was that the senate d,,soai Wouid nfiine hniId.
