Legislative Executive and Ju- dicial Measure Passed--A Committee Appointed on Secret Service Clause of Presidents Message.

Washington, Dec. IA new rec ord in the transaction of public busi- ness was established by the house of representatives today. The legislative executive and judicial appropriation bill, which usually excites considera- ble discussion lasting several days was passed with little debate and practically in the shape it came from the committee. An unusual feature was that no member asked time to indulge in general talk. The facility with which the bill of 165 pages was put through was the subject of much comment on the floor and members of the appropriation copmittee felici- tated themselves on the outcome. The bill carries an appropriation of s31,- 665,320.
 The house immediately after con- vening unanimously and without de- bate adopted a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of five to consider a resolution to the secret service paragraph in the pres ident's message and to suggest what action if any should be taken in the matter.

INCREASE 0F PROFITS
 BY 100 PER CENT
Standard Oil Witness Could Not Say
 That Was Out of Reason.

New York, Dec. 10.-From the rec ords of the Standards exhibits. MT. Kellogg read figures at the trial today showing that in 1895 the Standard manufactured forty million barrels of refined oil, with a net earning of S24.- 0IS,O00 or a net profit of sixty cents a barrel; in 1896 it manufactured six tyfour million barrels of oil with a net profit of sss.OOO,OOO, or s13O per barrel.
 Do you think general rise of com modities justified a profit of more than 10 per cent in any one commo- dity?" asked Kellogg.
 Economies have had hard time in determining what a reasonable profit is," responded Prof. Johnson.
 The witness could not be induced to say that he thought a profit of 100 per cent and more was outside the bounds of reason.
 MT. ROsenthal objected to the gen eral tenor of Mir. KellOggs questions contending that it had not been shown that s1.50 a barrel profit came exclu- sively from the manufacture of oil.

 Rules
  TWO MORE ARE NEEDED
Then With the Aid of the Democrats They Can Break the Speakers Power-A Committee to Draft Amen ded Rules.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The fight for the revision of the rules of the house was inaugurated tonight at a meeting of the so-called insurgents, attended by twenty-five republican representatives. Representative Hepburn of Iowa pre- sided and was authorized to name a committee of five with himself as chairman. to draft the proposed amend ments to the rules and report to the organization.
 The insurgents" cosidered various suggestions for more than two hours. Mir. Hepburn said the plans proposed for changing the rules would be con sidered by the committee he would name. He desired to make it known that all the members invited to the meeting with the exception of Repre- sentative Norris of Nebraska, who is out of town, were present. Those in terested have been proceeding quietly with their plans with the apparent purpose to increase their numbers suf- to be able to control the situ- atiOn by joining the democrats in a fight against the rules.
 The insurgents" claim that in the present congress they need but 27 re- publicans to join the democrats in or der to bring about a change in the rules while in the sixty-first congress they say they will need but 24 republican members. Three of the representatives present tonight, Hepburn. Pollard and Ellis, will not be members of the next congress.

J. Selzer, aged seventy two, an innocent bystander, wounded by a stray bullet, died ct midnight last night.
 It is a penitent and humble prophet that sits in his cell in the police station with the responsibility for five deaths upon him, but he insists that he was misguided and acted in good faith.
 "I believed it was Gods will, When the bullets commenced to hit me then I had a revelation. I am glad to be back and to stand for any thing God wills I had a nice farm in Oklahoma and was doing well when I believed I was called. Now I have no money. My children have left me and I have murdered innocent men.
