either end of the capital in the way of so
tual legislation. The time before the
Christmas holidays is usually devoted to
preliminary matters, and the work at the
session does not begin until after the re-
cess. The new congress will probably not ‘
be an exception to this rule. The senate
proceedings may be enlivened by an at-
tempt at reorganization, but in the house
nothing can be done until the committees
are appointed.
Speaker elect Reed says that the cons
mittees will not be announced this week,
with perhaps a single exception—
mittee on rules. - This commit
lates the rules which are 0 govern t
house during its sessions. and it is one
tomary tor the apt-alter to name it during
the first week in order that it can imme-
diately begin its labors. While it is be
licvcd that she rules of the Flity- first con
grcss' over which Mr‘. Reed presided. will
be reported for the guidance of the pres
ent house, it is understood that a few
changes will be made. as a result of expe
rience, which are designed to still further
improve the house machinery and the fa-
cilitation of public business.

If the Republicansdouiduupon an effort.

ference tomorrow or Wednesday. at which
they probably will decide upon a course
of action. It now‘appcars probable that
