That was my which fared ought to bo proud of. That work ought -togy on till itoulainated Inimuking a perfest chunnol of water-waya wherever thero wer great navigable siveraor harbors to be THE'‘ CHICAGO opened or improved. Therefore ho did not speak as hostileto the River and Harbor bill, Ho spoke from another and larger View. There wery two great cominittees that stood with their backs (a0 to apouk) to each other, facing in op- ait directions, ‘Those wore the Committees on Way and Bfeans and Approprintions, It wis: tho business of one to decide whero tho revenue should be procured to meet the expenditures of, tho Government, and ft waa tho business of tho athor to doelde tho aggrogute amount of these oxponditures, ‘The canine reason that. would turn over tho Hiver and Harbor bill to tho Committes on Commerce would turn over the Army bill tothe Committee on Military Affairs, the Navy BIN ta the Committee on Naval Af- fates, the Indlan bil to the Cominitice on Indian Affuira, and Ko on. During a period of four years, during which ho was Chalrinanot the Committee on Appropriations, the practice had been for that Commnitter, after looking over alt tho estimates, to decide an aggregate mnount of appropriath and to notify the Military, Nuval, and Commerce Committess of the amoattnts that cold be assigned to each branch, sv that wi tho Committees on Commerce (thus notified) pr pared the River and Hurbor bill In neeordance with It. and when that biliwas referred to tho Committee on Appro riations, it wae afterwards reported buck to the Hone, and the Committor on Commerce was requested to tuke care of it. ‘That he regarded ag the proper course, Mr. Mefane asked Mr. Garfield whether, If the Commitics on Miltary Aitairs afterwards re- jorted nn fuerense of the army by 10,000 men (und Vongreas hind so logieinted), the Committes on Appropriations would not be bound to ahi an increased appropriation, and (ou Garfield's as. sonting to that) he also asked him whether the anime rule should not apply te a report of the Committee on Commerce for the Improvement. of rivers and hurbora? Mr, Guriiehl repited that the only legislation by which river wid: harbor [improvements were authorized was by tho River ani Harbor bill itaelf, Ile ndmitted, however, that it might be wise for the Committec on Commerce to report, and for Congress to decide what rivers and har- bors should be reganied asin the ine of im- proveinent, so that the Committee on Appropri- atone imlght recommend annual appropriations for them, Mr. Hooker was glad that tho Committee on Tules had been go very nearly wnantinous in tho view which it. had ontertalned with regard to the necvayity of a change of rules, The rules an they now stood seemed to be designed na iin- pediinenta in tho way of legislation, The Con jitter hud, however, not udopted certain au gestions which hud been submitted. Lust ses- slon'he hud proposed that the rules should be so changed as to tuke nway from the Committee on Appropriations tho duty of report appro Any gen- er priation bill, except tho Legislative, Sundry Civil, and Dellclency bills, and impostuy that dutyon the Cemmitice to which It moru properly ‘belonged, instend of distributing tho powers of the House. However, the Committee on Rules hid deprived the Committee on Com- merce of the ne t to report the River and Tlar- bor bill for action, ‘There wis no wrgument: offered In support of that change except the raphic figure of tho gentleman from ohio (Garfteld), who sald that tha two great Committees of Ways and Means and Appropria- tiona should stand back to baek, the one front- Ing tho people nud tho othor the heads of the Government departmonts. So far from that be- ing the functions of those two Conunittecs, be had been here leng enough to see tbat the Com- mittes on Wage aud Means had been dwarfed in its Importance, ns every other Comruitteo had beon dwarfed, by the Committees on Approprin- tons. If tho Committee on A pprvprinstons were to stand behind the Commi on Ways and Moans and dictate the made in which taxn- tlon should be imposed, the House might as well dispense with the Intter Committes entirely, He would at the proper time snbinit an amendinent Ustributing tho duty of preparing the various uppropriution bills among tho Committees to which they mora spnronrintely belonged. Mr, Handatl anid that he felt it incumbent, upon bin to aflirm there had been on the part of the Committee on Rules na Intention to wbridgu: the powers of any Connnittce of the House, or to sly n word, von by inference, deragutory to any committee. Ho denied that tho Committes on Commerce was degraded, On the contrury, the Cominittee on Rules had adirmed tho wish of tho Houre in giving to the Committee on Com- mereo tho preparation of tho Iliver and Harbor Dill, ‘The House was not deprived of the power of suspending that very) rule: and passing tho DIN, ‘The Committee on Rules had confined itself to un admonition that the time had come whon upproprintions for rivera and harbors abould have full considerntion, and should not beng exceasive ne they sumotimes were. He Noted from figures prepared by an official of fio Toso t6 show. that during the ten oars that the Hiver and.

Mr. Barbor naked whether It was wot bettor to haye the Committee on Appropriations notify the Committee on Commeree enrly in the Bos- sion of tho amount that could be devoted to tho Improvement of rivers and harbors. Mr. Randall thought that {t might be well so toamend the rule, but if all the great appropri- ations were to be nesigned to cominittoes having those special subjects in.charge, and If there werv to bo so many heads where thore should be only one head, a path of extravagance woild be entered on that would end fn the bank- ruptcy of tho ‘Trensury. Ho disclalmed on the part of the Committee'on Rules any intention of cnlurgiog or vbridging the jarlediction of nny commulttee of the Houee, to admitted, at the suyzestion of Mr. Reagan, thit one reason for the Inereuse of the river and harbor phar pelit~ tions bud beon the rosteration of tho Soutborn States, but he still maintained that the amount appropriated for such purpose without discua- ston in tha Houso was greater than it should bo.

Paul Eastern Rallroad, KNOTYVY QUESTIONS, The trunk Ino arbitrators—Churles Francis Adams, Jr, David A. Wells, and J. A. Wright— aro just now wrestling with ono of the mort knotty problems that has ever been submitted to them for arbitration. The trouble Is In regard tothe division of the west-bount traiic from Eastern senhonrd points to st. Louls, sume of tho roads at the Inttor point clamoring for a re- arrangement of their percentages, When tho west-bound pool was first established the per- centages of the various roada doing a St. Louis business were fixed na follows: Vandulla, 23 per cont; Wabash, %} percent; Indianapolis & St. Louis, Zhper cent; Oblo & Mizelssippi, 19 per cent; Chicrgo & Alton, 12 percent, This di- vision proved to be entirely satisfactory, but about a year ngo the Burlington & Quincy made ai demand for a sbure of this businoss, and the New York authorities went to work without. consulting the reud's own interest. and took off Ys pereentaf tho Alton percent- tage and gave ttte the Burlingtan. Of course tho manners of the Chicuze & Alton did not Hike this action, and remonatrated against it, elalm= ing that (t was doing them great Injustice, and, Instead of having their St. Tans percentage ree duced from 12 to 8% per cent, they ought to huve bad an Increase, a8 the Improveinenta inaugie rated on thotr roud during the last two yeurs have greatly increased its resources, Some of tho ronds contend that the Burlington {3 not en- titled to n share of the St. Louix business, while othors say It ought to have something. But none of the ronds aro willing to have their pereentage reduced so that tho Burlington can get nshare. The arbitrators huve heen at work for some time — past hearing urguinents ree garding the matter, but the rond: in eo firm in their demands that no healway could thus hing his to be done goon or engue, asthe Alton is em- pbatle In de ig Chit it will not ulimit to such aamall percentage of the St, Louis business, Another equally, If not worse, complicated queation js_befure tho arbitrators for adjudica- tion. The Wabneh, 8t. Louls & Pacitic has innde a demand that the freight reaching Chicago via the lakes should be Included tn tho funuage phasinee through Chicago, ‘Phir is a most chee! proposition on tho part of the Wabash, as [t would tuke away from the Chicrgo ronds lead- Ing west all the advantages they derive from the likes, and if such netion woult’ be sutinitted to, it would pines Chicago on a level with St. Loula, Indlanapolls, Peorin, and other inland points, Mory than half of the Eastern business for tho West ping through Chicago {s derived from the Inkea, and to include this fn the pool percentages of the Chiengn ronda would intiict, tinmense damage upon them, and ft is safe to gay that the Chicago roads will nover submit to it. Tho trun nes might, with eqital Justice, dictate the «dls- position to be mide of the evan business. ‘The business coming here by the like routes must be: located ay originating ut Chicago, for it docs not take tho rail’ until {t reaches this point. ‘That auch n question ns this should be raised fulty es tabliskes tho truth of the assertion heretofore mado in Tue Trung that tho west and east bound pools are no benefit to Chico or ite ronda, and that they have been estubiished simply for the purpose of robbing Chiengo of the udvantage it derives from Its favorable po- sition, and to advance the interests of the Southwestern routes, which heretofore were not nble to compete with Chicugo.
