l The Commoner. 15 APRIL 7, 111 lieutenants, thirty-four policemen and five privates, wring $17,050. The doorkeeper will lose twenty seven positions, saving $31,340. At the night session, which con tinued to nearJy midnight, a legisla tive program was adopted and offi cers elected as follows: Clerk South Trimble, of Frank fort, Ky., who was a member of the Fifty-seventh congress. Sergeant-at-arms U. S. Jackson, of Indiana, who defeated William H. Ryan, of New York, by a vote of 114 to 97. Doorkeeper Joseph J. Sinnott, of Virginia. Postmaster William M. Dunbar, of Augusta, Ga. was elected on the third ballot, defeating It. G. Brem- mer of New Jersey, 104 to 94. Two other candidates were dropped. A legislative program was sub mitted by Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee, and adopted by the caucus. It is de signed to limit the activities of the extra session to such questions as popular election of senators, Cana dian reciprocity, tariff revision, in vestigation of governmental depart ments, congressional reapportion ment, statehood of Arizona and New Mexico, general deficiency appropria tion, District of Columbia legisla tion and publicity of campaign con tributions. The Important changes in the rules under which the new congress will operate are: The selection of committees by the house. A provision to prevent filibuster ing under the rule giving authority to discharge committees from con sideration of bills. A provision permiting amendments to appropriation bills whenever those amendments will result in retrench ment of national expenditures. Authority for bills to come up twice for -passage under the unani mous consent privilege. The rule to prevent filibustering on a motion to discharge a commit tee from custody of a bill as the result of the filibuster conducted in the last session by Representative Mann of Illinois. He had the post- - office reorganization bill placed on ; the calendar under this rule and de manded that it be read completely, an operation that consumed several days. The new rule provides that a bill shall be read only by its title and that its title shall not be more than 100 words long. It prohibits any 3 member from having before the house at any one time more than two motions to discharge committees from the custody of bills. Under this rule the democrats believe it can be made to work as originally in tended, to prevent the burying of bills in committee. The new rule affecting appropria tion bills is a renewal of the so called "Holman rule," first used by the democrats in 1875. It permits amendment to appropriation bills of wide character when these amend ments will effect a reduction of federal expenditures. The Rev. Henry N. Couden, of Port Huron, Mich., who for many years has been chaplain of the house, was unanimously re-elected.
