AN AGREEMENT ON THE RULES. The Committee is Ready and Both Par- ties Are Caucussing. The committee on rules have come to an agreement—that is, the majority have adopted acode and Mr. Carlisle will make a minority xeport, which will be signed by Mr. Randall. ‘The demand for rules had become so general that it was necessary to get the report ready as soon as possible. A meeting of the committee on rules was held last night, all the members but Mr. Randall being present. SOME MODIFICATIONS MADE, Several modifications proposed by Mr. Car- lisle were made in Mr, Roed’s code, but the pro- vision for general legislation on appropriation bills and the omission of arule giving privi- lege to motions to take a recess or to adjourn over toa day set still remain to provoke the determined resistance of the democrats, The provision fixing one hundred asa quorum of the committee of the whole House is retained, but there is not apt to be as much of a fight over this, ‘ THE CONFERENCE WITH MR. RANDALL. Mr. Carlisle was in conference with Mr. Ran- dall this morning making modifications in his minority report in accordance with the changes in the code approved. oy the majority. The democrats re; the forcing out of the rules and the modifications secured as a de- feat for Mr. Reed and are consequently happy. There was talk among republicans of inca nee the codes rule giving the Speaker the right to refuse to recognize dilatory motions and to refuse to order the reading of @ bill on demand of members, but no such visions were ee at the meeting, last night. The rule restoring the old morning hour is retained, DILATORY MOTIONS. After Mr. Carlisle left the meeting of the committee on rules the rule giving Mr. Reed authority to refuse to recognize a motion he regarded as dilatory was adopted, He is given authority also to deny the reading of bills” SENATE COMMITTEE ROOMS. A Discussion of the Need For Them Leads to Considerable Arch- itectural Criticism. BRIEF SESSION OF THE HOUSE. ——— THE SENATE, * Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: Increasing the salary of the supervising sur- geon general of the marine hospital service to that of surgeon general of the army. To regulate commerce carried on by tele- graph, ROOMS FOR SENATE COMMITTEES NEEDED. Mr. Moody offered a resolution directing the fergeant-at-arms to procure, for the use of the committee on Indian cepredations, some suita- ble room or rooms in the vicinity of the Capitol, atarent not exceeding $100 per month, the lease to terminate with the prevent session. Mr. Butler desired to offer an amendment so asto make the resolu#on apply generally to committees that hc=s no room in the Capitol, He suggested tbat there was a suitable build- ing near the Capitol (meaning the Hotel Maltby) that could be procured, and he under- stood that the committee on rules had been considering the propriety of renting it. 2M, Atécch (chairman of the committee on ruies) said that that committee had only control of the space within the north wing of the Capi- tol. Recently a resolution had been offered by the Senator from South Carolina (Mr. Kutler) authorizing that committee to hire the Maltby House. The committee had considered that question, but he could safely say that its mem. bers were averse to recommending the hiring of that building. There was not, he said, a single room in the Senate wing of the Capitol that could be assigned to a committee. There were now thirteen committees waiting rooms. Mr. Cockrell inquired as to the rooms in the Capitol terrace. Mr, Aldrich said that there were ten or twelve of these terrace rooms which might at some time be suitable and available for com- mittee rooms, but they would not be available at the prescut session. RENT OF THE MALTBY HOUSE. Mr. Stewart inquired at what rent the Maltby house could be secured. Mr. Aldrich said that it could be rented for $5,000 (or perhaps less) from now till the Ist of October. It contained eighty odd rooms— twenty suites with four or five rooms each, Mr. Dawes said that all the inconvenience experienced arose from the fact that an archi- tect (referrmg to Mr. Olmstead) had said that it would not be according to true taste to put outside windows in the terrace rooms. The question had been fought out before the Sen- ate two or three times, but the argument had proved unanswerable that EVERYTHING HAD TO BE SUBORDINATED TO TASTE, and now twenty or thirty rooms were sbut up, like so many dungeons, because (according to some people's taste) the terrace should be made li tolook like an underpinning to the Capitol, And this, he said, was all because this architect had ‘seen, in England, He (Mr. just such | terrace to a building. if awes) did not take any interest in the dis- cussion. He had done what he could to have utility rule, There wasno such magnificent structure in the world as the Capitol, and vet all of it had to be sacrificed to false taste, And so it would be until there should be a revolu- tion. Mr. Vest said that he had been under the im- pression that the profession of architecture was @ proper one—one that required edu- cation, experience and knowledge. If Senate was not to be governed by the opinion of architects the services of experts might as weil be dispensed with and the whole question of public buildings referred to Senators and Representatives in Con- gress, There had been a burst of eloquence of this subject worthy of ®@ great internatfonal question or of the world’s fair. He (Mr. Vest) took his full share of the responsibility of opposing the placing of windows in the terrace. ‘The idea of the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Dawes) seemed to be to turn the Capitol into a Dutch barn simply because there were certain committee rooms to be provided. TERRACE DOMINATION. Mr. Hale spoke ot the domination which a landscape architect (Mr. Olmstead) had exercised over the Senate in the matter of the terrace wall. It was, he said, a most hopeless domination. That archi- tect, he said, gave no reason for what he did. He’ had @ roomy mind with deep recesses, in which he evolved all sorts of magnificent plans at the expense of mankind gencrallly and (in this case) at the expense of the United States Senate and the general government. He decided that there must be a gteat, vast, broad, shining underpinnnig for the whole building because its landscape features would look better. There was a ruthlessness about this whole pro- ceeding as this terrace which —_ discourage and overcome every committee that undertook to deal with the subject. These rooms, he declared, could not be used, not only for committee rooms but even for the storage of papers. Mr. Blair—How old is this architect? Mr. Hale—He is OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER. Mr. Hale went on to say that ifthis landscape architect were to decide that the Capitol dome should be reversed and should appear. like a great uplifted saucer it would be done and the committee on public buildings would sustain him, | and Senators would be told that they knew nothing aboutit, He related the experience of a friend who had undertaken to build a house in Wash- ington, but had had control of the matter taken out of his hands by his architect, who had followed his own ideas and put up a structure costing twice as much as had been originally estimated. And he quoted this friend as declaring that “some- body has got to kill anarchitect.” [Laughter.] The discussion was continued by Senators Vest, Dawes, Paddock, Platt, Chandler, Haw- ley, Morrill and Moody, and finally the resolu- tion was referred to the committee on rules. ‘MR, BLAIR HAS THE FLOOR. At2o’clock the bill to aid in the establish- ment and temporary support of common schools was taken up as the unfinished business and Mr. Blair proceeded to address the Senate in advocacy of it, THE HOUSE.

Holcomb, the postmaster at Malden, Jackson county, Ky., fired a pistol shot ata green goods man in the Pennsylvania railroad company’s ferry house in Jersey City yesterday, but failed to hit his mark. At the second attempt his pistol missed fire. Lewis 8. Holcomb, a brother of the post- master, received one of the swindler’s circu- lars. The recipient was instructed not to swer by mail, but to reply by wire. This was done and the Holcomb brothers arrived yester- day morning and met the green goods swin- dlers in this city, where the police would not divuige. They were shown and examined the goods, The postmaster, who boasted that he is an ex- pert in detecting counterfeits, after closely in- specting the bills, declared: “They will go down my way.” Of course genuine bills were shown, They purchased $10,000 worth of the alleged counterfeits for €750. The bundle of bills was placed in a box, which was sealed, and the dupes paid the target for the postmaster’s pis- tol practice #5 to carry the box to the Jersey city depot, They wanted to take the first train home and were enjoined not to open the box until they reached Kentucky, where they would avoid detection. On reaching the waiting room at the Penn- sylvania depot in Jersey City the box was de- livered, Lewis Holcomb could no longer re- strain his curiosity and he went to the gentle- men’s room to open the box. The green goods man made arush for the door aud the post- master followed him, The —_ explained that he pursued the fellow because, said he, *“I knew he must be a swindl as no honest man would run. I would have killed him, too, officer,” he said to the chief. “I was close to him and had a good bead on his head, but the cartridge missed.” t’sapity you hadn't, then we would have been rid of a fraud and have hanged a fool,” was the chief's reply.

Gossip About Legitimatizing Queen Vic= toria’s Cousins, Loxpox, Feb, 5.—It is regarded as certain that the bill to legitimatize the three sons of the duke of Cambridge will soon come up in parliament and club men are offering odds that it will pass. This will be viewed in the light of a graceful compliment to the com- mander-in-chief of her majesty’s forces on the occasion of his retirement from the exalted Position which he has held so long. A silent thanksgiving will go up from the officers of the army who have suffered, many of them for the better part of a lite time, from the pig-headed obstinacy and whim: lites of the autocratic duke, against whose fiat, as the queen's near relative, there was no appeal, While in active operations the officers were freed from his meddling, greatly to their and the nation’s re- lief, but at home they lived in constant dread | of his orders, issued almost daily and ofte hopelessly contradictory in their nature.
