NEW TURN IN RULES FIGHT
CLARK OFFERS RESOLUTION
FOR LARGER COMMITTEE,
To Consist of Fifteen Members, to
Be Elected by Vote of the
House.

The many-angled fight in the House Of
Representatives over the question OF re-
vising the rules Of that body took a new
turn and assumed additional Importance
when Representative Champ Clark Of
Missouri, the leader OF the minority, in
troduced resolution, just before the
closing of yesterdays session, providing
for the election by the House Of new
rules committee Of fifteen members. Spe-
cial significance is attached to the Clark
resolution by the fact that Mr.. Clark is
himself member Of the present rules
committee.
Provision is made in the resolution to
revise amend. simplify and codify the
present rules Of the House. and report
to the House at the earliest day practi-
cable
The resolution contains nothing about
the removal of Speaker Cannon from the
committee, but the last section of it bro
vides that the committee on rules ap-
pointed by the Speaker at the last session
of the Sixty-first Congress shall no longer
exercise the power and functions of the
rules committee
The members of the present committee
are Speaker Cannon, Representatives Dal-
zell, Smith of Iowa, Clark of Missouri
and Fitzgerald.

Some Action Probable.

The resolution will go to the rules com.
mittee, where the Fowler resolution, in
troduced couple Of days ago, is now
reposing. Whether Mr.. Clark will be
able to get his resolution reported out OF
the committee is a question in relation
to which he himself declined to specu-
late, but his membership on the com
mittee is considered a point in favor OF
some action.
Mr.. Clark pointed out last night that
there We're other ways in which he could
bring his resolution before the House
and said that these methods might be
employed.
Whether a majority of the House car
be mustered to amend the rules at this
time is question which cannot be
answered. The republican insurgents are
expected to support the Clark resolution,
with one or two exceptions.

Testimony of Bureau Chiefs.

Paymaster General Rogers said he had
been identified with the establishment of
the so-called Newberry plan in his testi-
mony before the committee. He indi-
Gated that he considered it a more eco
nomical system than the one proposed
for adoption in its stead.
In the testimony given by Chief Con-
structor Capps it developed that Secre-
tary Meyer had based certain statements
| of alleged extravaganza in the construc-
tion corps on a memorandum prepared
for him by Engineer-in-Chief Cone. The
chief constructor contradicted in direct
terms the twelve instances cited to show
the increased cost of work under the
naval constructor, and to that extent
took issue with Secretary Meyer.
| The issue thus created Is described by
another naval officer as presenting the
following condition:
If the chief constructor is doctoring
the records to make case for the Off
GERS of his corps against the showing
made by the engineer-in-chief there is
| likely to be trouble for Admiral Capps.
| If, on the other hand, the engineer-in-
chief is placed in the position of having
misled Secretary Meyer, 1 do not see
how Mr.. Meyer can avoid visiting upon
Admiral Cone some form Of censure."

EXPECT DECISIVE BATTLE

! Bluefields, January 2O
The second decisive battle Of the In
surrection is expected to take place in the
next fortnight, probably near La Liber-
tad. according to Gen. Mena. who joined
the provisional troops here today.
1t is possible that the battle ground
may be Acoyapa, although Gen. Chamer-
20, who is now at Santo Domingo, nine
miles from La Libertad reports that the
Madriz forces have advanced north, ap-
around La Libertad.
The end of the week will see Gems.

men, facing the enemy.
The season has been dry in this section,
and the men a consequence are in
good health.
| Ten Americans, for the most part ex-
soldiers and sailors recruited at Panama,
have reached here with Gen Mena- The
advance of the PROFESSIONALS has been re-
tarded for week by the bad condition

ranks, even greater than that before
Recreo, as it is believed that this battle
will end the war.
Armies Close Together.
SAN JUAN DEL SUR, Nicaragua, jan
uary 29.-Owing to the proximity of the
contending forces it seems impossible that
another day can pass without an engage
ment being fought. The reports from
Bluetields that a battle already has taken
place at La Libertad are not true. There
has been nothing in the way of an en-
gagement in that vicinity except outpost
skIrmishes. Powerful government forces
nave been sent to the western depart
ments to watch any attempt at invasion
from Salvador or Honduras. According
to reports here, large numbers of volun-
teers are leaving Leon and Chinandega
for the front.
Americans to Join Estrada.
| PANAMA, January 29.-During the past
week several Americans have left the
isthmus for Nicaragua. 1t is said that
they have gone for the ostensible purpose
of joining Estradas army.

Question of Veracity Raised.

The issue raised between Admirals
Capps and Cone, involving a question Of
veracity, is considered more serious than
the question of ethics involved in the
action of the paymaster general and the
chief naval constructor in criticising an
administration measure.
The belief is expressed by some naval
officers that the matter can not be allowed
to rest as it is, with the Secretary of the
Navy in the position of having made un-
justifiable statements to the naval COM
mittee. 1t is probable that he will request
another hearing before the committee in
order to straighten out the matter and
clear the records.
Both PaymaSter General Rogers and
Chief Constructor Capps received per-
mission from Secretary Meyer to speak
freely before the House committee. 1t
was his wish, he said, that the commit
tee should have the benefit of testimony
on both sides of the case.
There is no intention to discipline
either officer, 1t is stated at the Navy De-
partment, for their action in the premises.
In case the Meyer plan Is enacted into
law it is only natural to assume, how
ever, he would desire as his bureau as
sistants only men in thorough sympathy
with its administration. Consequently
no surprise would be manifested In naval
circles if neither Rogers nor Capps is
reappointed at the expiration of his bu-
reau commission.

Naval Constructor Contradicts
Engineer-in-Chief Cone.
QUESTIONS MEYERS FACTS
Issue of Veracity Raised as to
Charges of Extravaganza.
REORGANIZATION IS OPPOSED
Paymaster Rogers Also Speaks Out
Before House Committee-Trou-
bic Likely to Follow.

Admiral Capps. chief naval construc-
tor, contradicts in express language the
accuracy of memorandum prepared by
Admiral Cone, engineer-in-chief Of the
navy, which sets forth allegations of ex-
travagance in naval construction.
Incidentally, this issue of vcracity re-
fleets upon the statements of Secretary
Meyer to sustain his proposition for re-
organization of the administration of the
navy.
In their testimony before the House
naval committee last week Paymaster
General Rogers and Chief Naval Con-
structor Capps were each outspoken i'll
criticisms of what they consider defects
in the Meyer-Swift plan for reorganiza-
ton. Both favored generally greater
control for naval constructors in the
management of the purely constructive
departments of the navy yards than is
contemplated by the Meyer plan.

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, November 12.-The stock
market was quiet and irregular most of
the week and closed depressed and lower
in most of the departments. The confer
ence over the veto power Of the house Of
lords and the prospects Of an early gen.
eral election were depressing influences
under which consols lost half a point and
brought down other gilt-edged securities.
The prospects for continued tightness in
the money market, unfavorable continent
tai bourses and the issue Of the twenty
five-million dollar New Zealand loan
accentuated the weakness, while labor un-
rest checked the better investment buy
ing which had appeared earlier in the
week. Foreign bonds and rubber shares
resisted the general heaviness and closed
with moderate gains.
American securities failed to maintain
the Improvement registered prior to the
election in the United States Local con-
tinental and Wall street selling was pref
ty general in tho last days Of the week
and made closing values from one to three
points lower than last Saturday.
Although the Bank of England Is recetv-
ing fair quantities of gold and the Indian
demand has been temporarily diverted to
Egypt, money is still tight, and the posi-
ton is not likely to relax IN view of tho
requirements for the forthcoming cleo
tons. American exchange is being closely
watched ana unconnrmapie fumors are
current that New York is inquiring for

Money was in good demand and dis
count rates were steady today.
The stock market was quiet and irregu-
lar. The political situation checked bust.
ness in British securities, while foreign
bonds declined on continental offerings.
Kahhrs and rubber shares, on the other
hand, hardened.
American securities opened steady. Cow
ering orders hardened values to well over

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. November 1.-THE cot
ton market was very quiet today. with
business chiefly in the way of evening-up

developments. Prices fiuctuated within a
range Of about 8 points, with the close
quiet, but steady, net one point higher to
four points lower.
The opening was steady at a decline of

ing that the south was offering cotton
more freely at yesterdays advance.
Southern advices, however, claimed con-
tinued frmness on the part Of holders.

aggressive. At any rate. prices f1rmed up
right after the call on covering for over
the week end, and during the early trad
ing showed a net gain of about 2a4
points. There was little more selling
around 1890 for May, and the market
eased of again later in the morning. but
showed no weakness and ruled very quiet
after the first half hour. Sentiment re-
garding the size Of the crop seemed to be
very much confused.

IAN increase Of $3.e2S3O0 in cash, ac-
companied by a reduction in loans

ing Saturday. thus practically doubling
that item as compared with the surplus
shown at the end OF previous week. The
gain In cash was q little heavier than
anticipated, and the reduction In loans
was probably brought about by liquida-
ton In the stock market. The sharp fall

international character. At any rate
the banks have strengthened their posi-
ton. The statement Of averages issued
Saturday did not show the gain In cash
indicated In the statement Of actual con-
dittons noted above. but the reduction in
