The question of reducing the government expenditures is occupying the serious atton- tion of some of the lending democrats of the House. It is assumed that Mr. Hoi- man will be chairman of the committee on appropriations and that the rest of the. me bers will be chosen with relation to their harmony with his views and the of the democratic party. There is no probability of the appropriations being assembied in one committee. Therefore it is a matter of as fRAve importance that the other committees ving charge of appropriation bills shall be constructed with a view of carrying out the | policy of economy. Itis probable that uw rule will be adopted that no appropriations for increas- lerical or official force of any of the tmente shall be made on any but the logislative or sundry civil appropriations bill. probably be the policy of jongress to _— appropriate only such money for fortifications and for the navy ag can be expended judiciously during the year for which the appropriation is made and that the work of cutting down of expendi tu not be confiued to the com mittee on ome talk Of the Spenker's going away somewhere after he has heard what me: bers have to say about the committees, that he may get a chance to work quietly on kis com- mittees. It iy not expected that any bills will be introduced into the Howse or any sort of work be started until after the committees are announced. The Speaker’ will take whet time is necessary for acareful consideration of the question of committees and when the un- nouncement is made the purpose will be to get to work in a busi and clear up nounced Today. The failure of the Speaker to announce in the House this morning the committee on rules was a disappointment, for it was generally supposed last night that ke would settle the matter. It is understood that Mr. Crisp desires to consider the selections more caretully and wishes to avoid any mistakes. He hae bad list before him that contains » half dozen names of democrats, aud there are only two to be appointed on this important committee. Many of the leading democrats have been urging tho Speaker to promptly settle the matter by appointing Messrs. Springer and MeMillin on behalf of the major- ity and Messre, Reed and Burrows on behal! of the minority, but until Mr. Crisp makes up his mind as to who will bead the committees on ways and means and ap- propristions Le eunnot overcome some em- barn — features of the situation. It 1s thought that if the question of disposing of Mr. Mills were fixed the Speaker could go ead, but Mr. Mills has been sick and no seems to be able to state with ce tainty whether or not will again be chairm: of the way and means committee. Sentiment generally favors the tendering of the position to the Texas states- man, but some of the closest friends of the Speaker are still unable to state positively whether Mr. Mills would accept even if the chairmanship was offered him. ‘The whole thing is in a chaotic state, and probably not until ‘Tuesday evening will Speaker Crisp be able to make up the rules committ The opinion is strong, however, that Mr. McMillin will be one of the democratic members of this committee, more on account of his knowledge of parlia- mentery tactics and activity on the floor than with reference to assignment of that gentle- man on any other committee. = ——— CAPITOL TOPICS.

A SIGNIFICANT omtsstOX. : Comment is being made among the politi- cians on the fact that the nominstions sent by the President to the Senate yesterday did not include the proposition to make Walter Wsman supervising surgeon general of the marine bos- pital service. ‘Ihe omission is believed to be equivalent to stating that ex-Surgeon General John B.

LUMP REDUCTIONS. The Secretary of the Treasury recommonds that the total appropriations for next year be limited tothe amount appropriated for the current year in various items in the book of estimates.

Of course statements and mistatemente will: continue to be pub- lished as long as it is for the interests of the | base ball managers that the truth shall not get out.

From East Capito! street to H north , FOR CASH. there is a vast population without any me: of transportation to the departments or ness centers save the lines on H and East Capitoland the far-between carettes. Beyond Lincoln Park, which is fast being dotted over with houses, there is no communication with the city except the Anacostia line, which ends in its extreme southeastern section. There is also great need of a cross- town line connecting the north and south- enstern sections. A person ou H street north- east wishing to reach Pennsylvania avenue southeast has to go around by 7th street west, thus traveling around three sides of a large sqnare, on different lines and at double. expense. We only wish that the members of both the Senate wad ilouse com- mittees would drive over the enstern part of this city and ‘tog the pressing need of ‘more street railroads? If some of our capitalists would make a similar inspection they would find an investment for their money in these needed railroads which would be as remuncra- tive to themselves as it would be useful to the community.
