Work Has piled Up.

"
True, the insurgents have been
blamed for much they were not re-
sponsible for, but the present condi-
ton in the house can be laid at no
door except theirs, is the statement
made by both democrats and republi-
cans.
The seriousness of the situation Is
more apparent now. because reaction
has set in. The committee was select
ed by both caucuses, but an upheaval
came and charges flew thick and fast.
At the time the members lost all in
terest in other matters, but now as
the work piles upon them 1t is being
felt.
I. Handling of legislative matters has
been hindered SO that many of the
appropriation bills, the necessary bills,
will be late in being passed. One big
bill has been half debated, three 9TH
ers are about ready and still others
will be ready weeks before any action
can be taken on them In the house.
Public Sentiment Changing.
From all reports, reaction on the
part Of the public has also set in.
Visitors to the capital state that they
can appreciate the necessity for
strfnge nt rules In the house, and won
der why all the commotion against
the system in the house has been
raised.
Many changes in the sentiment on
the part of the public will take place
before the election for members OF
congress in the fall of this year is
held, the wise men of the house say,
and it will be revolving to insurgency
and democracy.
What the future plans of the in
surgents are no one seems to know.
1t is believed, however, they will drop
their fight, at least for the present,
and try to help the organization get
some of the presidents recommends
tions into legislation.
1t is true the democrats are mad

Future Improvement Plan

I'm their last annual report the Com
n1issioners called attention to the fact
that In preparing their estimates they
were limited by law to figure double
the amount of the estimated revenues
They stated that they found this method
Of preparing the estimates was sufficient
to meet all current needs in accordance
with reasonable standards of efficiency,
but would not adequately provide for
carrying out large projects of permanent
Improvement.
They also stated that in order to carry
on such projects by means Of approprla-
tons from year to year, a definite method
Of financing them would have to be pro-
vided, and at the same time provision
would have to be made for paying off
the Indebtedness OF the District, and 1t
was their intention to draft legislation
designed to cover these points
In pursuance of this intention bill was
drafted by the Commissioners and intro
duced i'm Congress as House bill No. 13474
and Senate bill No. $500. These bills are
now pending
TIE Commissioners recommend the
passage of this measure, and in support
Of this recommendation invite attention
to their arguments presented before the
House and Senate committees on the
District Of Columbia. These arguments
have been printed as public documents.

CAUSES DISPLEASURE IN ROME.
Young Christian Democrats Triumph
in Modena Congress.
Foreign CORRESPONDENCE of The Star.

fOfe1Sn Correspondence OF Inc Staf
MILAN, November %, 1910.
Another crisis In Italian Catholicism
has been reached. The twentieth ma
tional Catholic congress closed at Modena
after five days spirited discussion, in
which the modernist tendency, represent
ed by the young christian democratic
party. triumphed all along the line.
In consequence of the great victory of
the progressive Catholic forces at b.
logna in 1908. under the presidency of
that outspoken democrat. the late Cardi-
nal Svampa, the Vatican forthwith dis
solved their organization and has ,e-
toed the reassembly of the congress for
seven years past. Recently Pope Plus X
gave permission for the holding Of the
modena congress for the purpose of re-
viewing the state of the Catholic forces
after the long series of instructions is
sued during his pontificate regarding the
attitude to be followed on social and
political questions. The result has caused
such grave displeasure in Rome that the
clerical organs announce that his holi-
ness will publish a note of censure for
bidding future congresses of the Catholic
laity, as he has done already those Of
the clergy.
