HOUSE LEADERS PLANS.
Small RiUer and Harbor and Public
Building Bills Possible.

washington, Dec. 22.-The leaders in the
House are seriously considering the ACCESSIBILITY
or pressing for passage small public building
and river and harbor bills at this session Of
Congress, and If they decide that the step Is
Judicious they will embrace the first opportunity
Of converting the Senate leaders to their views
In support of this policy 1t is pointed out that.
with all the advantage which a short session af-
fords. it would be possible to conflne the pro-
visions Of the measures to those improvements
which are regarded as essential, whereas, with
the large Republican majority In the next
House. including many new members, all
anxious to secure special concessions for their
constituents, these omnibus bills might be
forced TO an aggregate far beyond the dictates
OF economy and good Judgment It is argued
that the enactment of these bills this winter
would avoid the necessity Of passing them at the
next session, and it will be on that ground that
the Senate leaders will be appealed to If Speaker
Cannon and other influential members of the
House adopt this policy.
It Is by no means certain, however, that the
leaders Of the upper chamber can he persuaded
10 grant any concession from the policy of rigid
economy which they have outlined for this ses-
sion They have and all declared that the
condition Of the national finances renders it i'm
perative that Congress cut its coat to fit its
cloth; and they may remind the members of the
House that even If the large majority in that
body swels the River and Harbor and Public
buAolng bills to an inordIuate at the next
session, the power viii remain with the Senate
10 amputate all unessential items when the
measures reach that body. There is however. A
disposition in the upper chamber to deprecate
the friction which has existed between the
houses in the last two years and some CONFESS

to have provoked the interference Of the Liquor

did not make any determined effort TO press L.
and the measure did not arouse any general dis
Cussion. The other excise legislation was Of
