Special to The Bulletin.o

Washington, D. C.. May 29.-Con- gressman Higgins has received both from his constituents and his col leagues many expressions of regret at his decision to leave congress. Had MT. Higgins been in the next congress he would have been the second repub- llcan on the judiciary committee which is one of the greatest committees in the house. MT. Higgins succeeded Charles E. Littlefield of Maine on this committee and will have served, at the expiration of his term, five years upon it.
 During his service MT. Higgins has also been a member of committees on war claims. territories, expenditures In the navy department industrial arts and expositions, and now is the rank ing republican member of the commit tee on expenditures in the department of. agriculture which during this con gTess has conducted the pure food in vestigation popularly known as the Dr. Wiley case. The investigation of the everglades land frauds and the inves tigation of the meat inspection service, all of which attracted wide public at- tention.
 It Is the belief of many both in congress and cut, that the speech MT.
 
 committee reported on the Lilley sub marine investigation saved Congress man Lilley from expulsion, as the feel ing in the house was intense and the report of the committee was exceed ingly hostile and bitter te Mir. Lilley
 When MT. Higgins was asked as to his future plans after the fourth of next March, he saidi T have no def mite plans for the future, but have under consideration some business and professional propositions which if ac cepted would make it necessary for me to leave Norwich and make my home elsewhere. I am in doubt whether will take up with one of these or re- sume the practice of law at Norwich, and 1 will not decide for the present While 1 have always maintained my offices in Norwich. my experience is that of members of congress, that one cannot attend to the exacting details of a law practice and at the same time look after the man things that a congressman has to. I chose to the best I could for the people who had honored me, but I find it necessary now to devote myself to making some provisions for the future, and propose to engage myself to that end"

 Expressions by Congressmen.
 Washington, May 29-The statement that he would not again be a candi- date for congress. given out yesterday by Representative Higgins, was the topic of conversation among the mem bers of the states. delegation today. All express regret that he should feel it is his duty to retire from the house, as they realize that he has made a very useful representative, not only to his own district, but te the state at large.
 Representative Henry said he was not surprised, as he had frequently heard Mrs. Higgins say of late that he thought he should not again be can didate Mir. Hill said he did net blame MT. Higgins, but he disliked te have him leave just the same.
 Mir. Tilson seemed to be the most surprised man in the delegation When SHUWI tue SldbOA1t4l ldSt nlSHL He said: This is a surprise to me. 1 am very sorry, too, for besides being my personal friend, I realize that the state will thereby lose a capable and efficient as well as a faithful represen- tative. I can see his side of 1t, how ever. He has longed to be back at his profession where he can be free from the worry and anxiety of the public servant, and where the fnan- cial remuneration, If not greater, is al least not subject to as many calls He could afford to retire better than ever before, becaue his contest has been unanimously decided in his favor his district has been made much more strongly republican, and no opposition for his renomination has developed No one can call him a 'Quitter' or ac- cuse him of having cold feet He simply did not find the work here suf- ficiently attractive to recompense hin for the many disagreeable things con Eected with it. He is doing what al least dozen others are doing; for in stance Lawrence of Massachusetts Brantley of Georgia, Olmstead ot Pennsylvania, among the ablest meI of the house.
