WASHINGTON , Dec. 1C. In the house proceedings were opened by Mr. Cannon , re publican of Illinois , oflerlnR a rcfolutlon for the consideration tomorrow nt the amend ments to the rules for the liicrcoto of the membership of the leading committees from fifteen tu seventeen ( the number In the last liousoj nnd for the creation of an additional committee on elections. The resolution was adopted after Mr. Crisp stated that the minority would not object to consideration or to Increased membership , but certainly would oppose the creation ot an additional elections committee. Mr. Flynn , republican ot Oklahoma , nskeil unanimous consent for the consideration of n resolution calling upon tha eecratary of the Interior to Inform the hou j of the reasons for the delay In the appointment of the allotting > letting ngcnts to allot lands to the Wichita Indians and whether any of the blood con nections of the secretary of the- Interior were interested In delaying ths opening of thc ; elands lands to settlement. The resolution caused qulto n dlpphy of temper In the house and some rather warm words. Mr. McMlllIn , democrat of Tennessee , thought It was not drawn In the usml form. Whllo examining U Mr. Flynn called out : "It don't affect any of your Importations Into Oklahoma. " "I don't make Importations , " replied Mr. McMlllIn sharply. "Well , Hoko Smith dees for you , " returned Mr. Flynti. Mr. McMlllIn protested that this was not nn occasion for levity. He pointed out the defect In the resolution nnd at Mr , Flynn's request the words "If not Incompatible with the public Interests" wore Inserted. Mr. Maddox , democrat of Oeorgla , was at first disposed to object to the resolution , but finally withdrew his objection. Mr. Flynn then made a brief explanation of the purpose of the resolution. Ho declared that the allotting agents required by law to be appointed bad not been appointed. "It is n well known fact , " said he , "that Hoke Smith lias a lot of relations who nro profiting by the delay In this matter. They arc acting as attorneys for the Indians. " Hli attack on the secretary of the * Interior was bitter. Ho said , among other things , that he had seen today a contract by which a man was to receive $2,700 If ho could pre vent Secretary Smith from ratifying an agreement. Mr. Cooper , democrat of Florida , took up the cudgel on behalf of Secretary Smith. Ho denounced Mr. Flynn's "extraordinary speech. " "Usually , " said he , "tho gentle man from Oklahoma exhibits the proper Ideas of decency In addressing the bouse , but ho has today sadly Tailed. " He pro tested that Sir. Flynn had Indulged In lan guage concerning n member of the cabinet unbecoming a member of the house , and eulogized Secretary Smith as a man who stood ns high before the American people us any man on the Iloor. Mr. Flynn replied to Mr. Cooper with some temper. Ho admitted that he had feelings In the matter , and explained the cause of It In his trip to Washington last spring. Ho had come 1,500 miles to see the president and find out why Secretary Smith had not compiled with the law. He had written Mr. Cleveland for an audience , and after a brief response from Secretary Tburber had waited In vain for a week to eco him ; he had appealed to Sccrclary Smith and the commissioner of the land ofllco , but to no avail. Mr. Flynn then demanded the previous question , and the resolution was adopted without division. A senate resolution granting the state of Pennsylvania the use of the United States court rooms at Scranton was adopted on mo tion of Mr. Scranton , republican of Pennsyl vania. On motion of Mr. Moody of Massachusetts , by unanimous consent , a bill was passed for the amendment ol the act of 1874 for the establishment of bonded warehouses for stor ing and cleaning rice for export , so 09 to Include permission for curing and repacking fish for export In such warehouses. Several requests for unanimous consent were refused , several of them relating to the printing of petitions for the recognition ot the Cuban belligerent ! ! , after which , at 1:40 : p. m. , the house adjourned. 8TI3W.VHT TOOK IIALK OF THE TIMI3 Tn 11I'd I'ri-c Coliinvfe for Two Itourx in tlit > .Sen at is WASHINGTON , Dec. 1C. The senate was In session about two hours today , halt ot that time being given to Mr. Stewart of Ne vada In a vigorous assault on the gold "com bine. " In one respect the senator presented a new phase of the subject with which his name lias been so much Identified In senate speeches. Ho urged that the great deprecia tion of silver gave to the cheap labor of Asia a tremendous advantage In competing with Ilio ilnmcstln nrmlucts of the American market. Japan In particular , he said , was profiting by this difference of CO per cent between our money and that of Japan and Japanese merchants were today underselling our home producers In many lines of goods. During Mr. Stewart's speech Mr. Matsu , sec retary of the Japanese Ugatlon , was an at tentive listener In the diplomatic gallery. An echo of Comptroller Bowler's suspen sion of the sugjr bounty payments was heard In the resolution of Mr. Caffnry of Louisiana calling on tlio Treasury department for the reasons for the suspension. Postmaster Gen eral Wilson's recent order forbidding postal employes from urging postal legislation also came In for attention , Mr. Peffer offering a comprehensive resolution of Inquiry as to the order , Another resolution by Mr. Qalllnger calls for Information as to the number of aliens In the various governmental branches. Mr. Quay , republican of Pennsylvania , to day presented a petition of the Wool Mer chants' Association ot Philadelphia , and usked that It bo read and Inserted In the record , "That Is a bad example , " Interposed Mr , Sherman , "what Is this petition ? " "It asks , " responded Mr. Quay , with a malicious smllu at Mr. Sherman , "that the wool rchodulc ot ( he McKlnlcy act ba reenacted - acted es law. " Mr. Sherman joined In the general r nil It. "Cettnlnly , there could be no objection to that , " fiiil lie , and the petition was there upon trad , Mr. Pcffer. populist , of Kansas , offered a resolution wiling on the PostofMce department for Information AS to Its practlc * of Impos ing flnp § on employ PS ; also ns to the restric tions placed on postal employe ) ngilnst con ferring with senator * nnd members regarding legislation. Th ? resolution was r fcrred. Mr. Caffcry. democrat , of Louisiana , ofterol n renolullon which was ogreed to , calling on the secretary cf the treasury for Information as to the r aeons for suspending the pay ment of bouuy lo th * manufacturers of sugar. Mr. tJalllnper , republican , of New Hamp shire , offered n resolution calling for reports from all government departments ns to th number of nllens employed. Referred to the committee en civil service reform. Mr. Stewart , iwpullst of Nevada , addressed the Fi'iiatc on the pending resolution for a commlwlon to Invi-stlgato the need * of labor and agriculture , predicting the Invasion of the products ct Oriental hnds In competing with our domestic products. Agents of Jnpaness manufacturer , ho said , were now In the United States selling their goods at prices far below the coot of production In the United States , offering bicycles of Japan ese make at $12 each nnd parlor matches , door * , sash , blind ? , cooperage stock , hats , gloves and wearing apparel at DO psr cent below the domestic price. . Japan had taken the Initiative , but China would follow. At the basis of this menacing condition , said Senator Stenart , Is the gold combination. It has reduced the value of silver CO per cent , thus giving the Asiatics an advantage cf CO per cent on exchange. The only means of averting this complete commercial su premacy of the Asiatics was to place gold and silver on an equal bails. Mr. Stewart used severe language In arraigning the gold syndicate , declaring that It controlled na tional cunventlons , selected presidents and directed tbe affairs of the national adminis tration. At the conclusion ef Mr. Stewart's remorks the resolution was laid aside and at 2:20 : p. m. the senate adjourned. CO.VKUIt i\CI3 AVAILED NOTIII.VU. Duinocrnln Decline to Aeeecle to the Hli'i'tloiin Committee Program. WASHINGTON. Dec. 1C. There was a con ference of republican and democratic leaders In the speaker's room this afternoon to dis cuss the plan for Increasing the number of committees to deal with election contests. Mr. Reed Invited Messrs. Dlngley , Daniels , Hen derson , Cannon , Payne , and Dab.cll of the re publicans , and Crisp , McMlllIn and Dalley , democrats , to the discussion. The plan out lined by the republicans was for three com mittees of nine men each ; six republicans and three democr.Us , each committee to bo di vided Into threa subcommittees , each com posed of two republicans nnd one democrat. While this plan would give the minority a smaller proportionate' representation than It has formerly had , Mr. Reed explained that the division was rendered necessary by the scheme for subcommittees. With nine sub committees web one would have about three contests to consider , as of tha thirty-three contests four have been practically abandoned by the failure of the contestants to gather evidence , and Mr. McGann of Chicago has conceded his seat to the republican claim ant , Mr. Dolknap. The democrats were as sured that the only object entertained by the majority was to facilitate the disposal of the contests and establish the titles of the right ful claimants without delay In the Interests of justice and economy. Mr. Reed said that the republican Intention was to settle the cases strictly upon the legal evidence and In a judicial spirit. Difference of opinion was developed among the democrats. Messrs. Crisp and McMlllIn declined to assent to the proposition and are understood to have held that the proper plan , If a committee of the usual size could not hear all the evidence , would be to increase the number of commltteemen. Mr. Bailey took the stand that the democrats were bound to accept the assurances of their opponents that the minority would be fairly treated and nas disposed to accede to the plan. The other democrats were Inclined to the opinion that the scheme was one to unseat democrats with greater facility. No understanding was reached and It was by courtesy that the democrats were consulted , as the republicans Intend to carry out their plan. Sliite MiiHt KxtiilillNli Sanity. WASHINGTON , Dec. 1C. Justice Harlan handed down the opinion of the supreme court today In the case of Dennis Davis , charged with murder and tried and sentenced In the United States court for the western district of Arkansas In which tbe defense had been that of Insanity. The court below bad Instructed tbe Jury that It was Incumbent upon the defense to establish the fact of Insanity to secure acquittal on this charge , but this ruling was reversed , the court layIng - Ing down the principle that the burden of proof of guilt rests In all criminal cases upon the prosecution. In delivering this opinion , Justice Harlan cautioned tbo courts against giving1 too much heed to popular clamor against pleas of Insanity. South American Cattle Uunrniitlneil. WASHINGTON , Dec. 1C.

This disposes of the chairmanships ot all but eleven committees. The committees un disposed of are known as the minority com mittees. The re-publicans now control them and they will fall to ths democrats under the new organization. The caucus has made pro vision for t'no populist senators , as the demo crats did In the last congress , and have given each of them a chairmanship , giving each the snmo position held under ths democrats , ex cept Senator Kyle , who Is promoted from the chairmanship of the committee on education and labor to that of the University of the.

The committee will re-commend the enlarge ment of all the larger committees , Including finance , from eleven to twelve members ; Judiciary , from eleven to thirteen ; ap propriations , from nine to twelve ; foreign re lations , District of Columbia , commerce , mili tary affairs , naval affairs and public build ings. Tlio Incentive to this change Is found In the difficulty of harmonizing all the ele ments In the party , but It Is justified by ths growth of the senate as a body. MEMBERSHIP OF COMMITTEES.

A Winnipeg , Man. , special to the Journal says : This morning at 6:25 : fire broke out In the boiler room of the Couchon block , a four-story building with a frontage of COO feet on Main and York streets , oprosite to the Hudson Bay company's stores and offices. The ground floor was used for stores and the upper floors were divided Into suites for resi dences. There were forty of these suites and nearly all of them wore occupied. At that early hour very few of the occupants were stirring and the flames gained good headway before the alarm v/as generally given. The stairways were cut off by the fire and the fire escapes and the ladders raised by the department formed the only routes to the ground for most of the occu pants. Major Morris , deputy sergoant-at-arms of the Manitoba legislature , was suffocated and his wife is still missing. She is believed to have perished. A number escaped by Jump ing to the roofs of adjoining buildings. Mr. and Mrs. Bagby jumped from tha top story to a one-story building nndwere badly Injured , but will probably recover. Several children were more or less Injured by jumping Icto blankets and a number of adults were burned and scratched. A now wing of the building was partially saved. The loss Is estimated at $100,000. MOSK GUNST'S TITI.n AFFIHMEI ) . California Supreme Court IIolilN HN Appointment Regular. SAN FRANCISCO , Dec. 10. M. B.

A meeting of the Chicago connections of the Colorado-Utah lines was held today to consider the fight between the Union Pacific and the Denver & Rio Grande over tickets of the former In the markets In those two states. Nothing was done at the meeting , but an other meeting will be held on Friday ot this week.
