It is whispered unions theincomtng mem
bers tliat some of the long-time employes of
tlie Hou&cof Representatives, men whoordt
narily might be retained In their positions
throughout all the changing political ad
ministrations of the House, will be re
moved without delay by Speaker Iteed aa
soon as the conditions existing in the Huiim
of Representatives, brought about by their
macluvlitlons.sbdllbaveuecn thoroughly un
derstood. One of tiie nnich-to-be-dcslreil reforms In
augurated by an appropriation during the
last Congress was the proposed change of
the band-clapping system of calling the
pages to" the electrical bell system, ufter
the pattern of hotel call-bells.
From the day of the passageof the resolu
tion providing an appropriation Tor this
'purpose until the present the employes of
the House who hare been accustomed to be
ing upon the floor of the House during the
sessions, and who have deprecated the Idea
of their banishment to thedoak rooms have,
it is declared, opposed the will of the House
us expressed in that resolution, and have
done everything in their power to thwart
Its purpose.
Although the electrical system lias been
put into the House practlcallyin accordance
with the declaration of the resolution re
ferred to, a very reprehensible effort has
been made, certain of the Bepresentatlves
say, to render nugatory and objectionable
the new sybtem.
Instead of placing the buttons on the
sides of the desks or on the tops thereof,
so that members desiring the presence
and the assistance of pages, might press
the buttons Jit their will and register
upon the far-away annunclator.lhe number
of their desks, and thereby call pages to
their assistance without the handciapping
or other disturbing noises in the House,
the buttons have been placed beneath the
desks.
CAUSING AKK07AXCE.
This is manifestly, they say, for the
purpose of causing annoyance; for, when
ever a member turns about in his chair or
makes any movement in a careless manner
be is liable to press the button with his
knee and call u page boy when be docs

noonSome Committee GosbIii.
The opposing forces nre all lined up.
Everything Is ready fur the caucus tonight.
It is "antK-omblnc" against "combine."
Tbc fight will be made 'on every office
from chairmanship of tbe caucus dnrrn. It
Gen. Grosrenor can be knocked out of tbc
chairmanship, all right and echhI. If not,
tbe fight will be continued.
When Representative Henderson places
Gen. IlendcrsoD In nomination for Clerk of
tbe House It U hoped the McDowell lines
may be broken. The Henderson managers,
simply to show bow the wind blows, say
they bare two of the Ohio delegation on
their side. These two Representatives will
Tolef orHenderson, no matter what happens.
They say they bare assurances of a slni'
liar nature from more than one other dele
gation. It is on such assurances as these
they rest their hopes. It will only take
a few votes from each delegation, with
the vote of the AVcst and Boutb, to
nominate.
ON DOWN THE LINE.
But If Gen. Henderson is knocked out, the
contest goes on down the line. The break
may come on sergeant-at-arms or door
keeper, or postmaster, or chaplain. Nomat
ter bow severe the knockout in any one
round, the Henderson forces are coming up
for the next. Binning and serene.
Ttesc people expect to get something.
They are going to break through if they
can, and tbey want something badly. It
bas not been definitely decided yet Just
who will be put up against Gen. Grosvenor,
but it is thought Mr. Cannon .will be the
man. Tbc matter is In the hands of the
steering committee, composed "of Repre
sentatives Cannon, Henderson and Evans
of Kentucky. These gentlemen will decide
this afternoon on all the details for the
evening.
At the McDowell headquarters everyone
Is still ratifying. There is not tbe least
doubt of the result expressed. Col. Stpneu
who managed MuJ- McDowell's forces so
skillfully, said the "line-up" was complete.
They bad 160 votes sure, and many more
were coming In. Ma. McDowell "was as
serene as a May day. Mr. Glenn and MuJ.
Buseell were sure tbey wero all right.

CHANGES AT THE CAPITOL.
The work on the chamber of the House
,1133 been completed, and the' members of
the caucus -will be In brand new quarters.
The blue and gold decorations of the last
session nave been removed. Red Is the ruling
color now. Electric bells have been placed
at each desk, and In the future the pages
will sit out in the cloak room Instead of
srouud the Speaker's desk, as formerly.
Down in the basement tbe finishing
touches are being put to tbc new engines
which are to run the new dynamos. The
celling of the House is to be lighted with
electricity,, and the plant is to be further
extended.
The changes in tbc Senate chamber are
more marked. Col. Bright thinks it is the
finest-looking chamber be bas seen for
j ears. The Senate bas eight new pages this
year.
The Democrats of tbc House hold their
caucus at t o'clock this afternoon. It was
generally anticipated that tbe old officers
would be nominated for'the empty honor.
It is expected, though, that there will be"
an expression of some kind by the sound
money men. If they do not fight Judge Crisp
in the caucus It is expected that they will
refrain from voting for him in the House
Monday. They must vindicate their finan
cial views. It isheld, though, thatthecaucus
winideclde that the ex-Speaker must bo

Philadelphia, Nov. 30. Herman "W.
Mudgctt, alias U. H. Holmes, who was con
victed of murder In the first degree for
having caused the death hi this city of
Benjamin F. Pitezel, was this morning,
in the court of oyer and terminer, refused
a new trial and sentenced to be hanged.
Tbc opinion denying the accused a new
trial was delivered by Judge Arnold, it
havingbeen concurred la by Judges Thayer,
VTUbou, and Arnold, who heard tbe. appli
cation for a new trial.
Judge Arnold then pronounced the death
sentence.
Holmes, who bad been brought into court
to hear the opinion, was not affected by
the adverse decision, and when Judge Ar
nold, in deliberate tones, sentenced him to
be "hanged by tbe neck until dead," the
air of apparent indifference which "was so
manifest throughout tbe celebrated trial
was nof deviated from by the alleged multi
murderer. Holmes was then returned to the county
prison and a death watclrwas placed, over
him. The date of execution, will be fixed
by Gov. Hastings.
The opinion covers thirty-seven type
written pages, and Judgge Arnold occupied
an hour in its delivery. Every phae of

-Owing to the failure on October 24 of

London, Nov 30. Neither the assent of
the sultan to each of the powers having a
second guardshlp at Constantinople nor the
promulgation of paper reforms will quiet
the rising public wrath over tbe progress
of his policy of extermination directed
against tbe Christians of Asia Minor.
Tbe clamor for strong and decisive deal
ing with the sultan comes from .conserva
tives and liberals alike. The popular con
viction grows that Abdul Hamld is Jockey
ing with tbe powers and that the palace
clique to whom his obstinacies and du
plicity are attributed agree with but do not
rule him.
The Speaker's Constantinople correspond
ent, who first directed attention to the Ar
menian outrages, bas since become a recog
nized authority on tbe subject.
He declares that he has ample evidence
that the sultan is personally responsible
for the whole series ot massacres. He ex
plains that the late outrages commenced as
soon as the sultan accepted the reforms ap
plying to" six vilayets, giving Christians
rights that depended on theirnumbers. The
massacres "have been chiefly confined to
these vilayets, the object being to so re
duce the number of Christians as to give
them no claim to any influence.
SYSTEMATIC PERSECUTION.
The work of extermination proceeds as
systematically as it Is possible for the
Turkish authorities to carry it on. Both
the Kurds and the troops are acting under
the orders of the authorities In their work
of pillage, rapine and murder.
The correspondent estimates that ten
thousands persons .were massacred be
tween November 18 and 25, while the
sultan was posing before Europe as being
desirous of effecting reforms, and as being
benevolently inclined "toward the Armen
ians. Commenting upon tbe matter fur
nished by its correspondent,' the Speaker
says that among the brutal murderers who
are engaged in wiping out Armenians there
is not one who is so brutal and criminal as
this wretch Abdul Hamld, whoso very
existence Is a reproach to humanity.
Can the "civilized world, the paper asks,
look on with no stronger feeling than tepid
disapproval,' while the monster who owes
his nower to tho protection of Great
Britain, consummates a crime that Is utmost
without paranel?

Tbls Congress contalus mauy distinguished
men who nre unfamiliar with National
Capital life andneeda.
Perhaps-one of the most Important local
questions they will be called upon to con
sider Is the increase of the metropolitan
police force.
The woeful inadequacy in point of num
bers of the present force to protect "the "
valuable property of citizen, city and Na
tional Government, und a Ian the lives of
the people, hai been shown In The Times
from. day today.
Interviews with tbe District and police
officials and proralneut citizens have clear-'
ly show how this Inadequacy -affects the.
city, and one und all are of tbe opinion,
that Congren should add at least ona
hundred and fifty men to the number nor
patroling the streets.
WHAT THE MEMUEBS SAY;.
In order to personally luterest Con
gressmen in the matter and al to ac
quaint each one with the needs of the
city in this respect, Tbe Times, bas ob
tained interviews with the following dl
.tlnguisbed gentlemen:
lion. D. D. Altken, Mfchlgnu: "If the
police lurce in this city Is in need or an .
Increase It should have one." '
Moil. Jesse Overstreef, Indiana: I have
hardly been In town long enough to
know tbe condition of things here, bet
If the conditions exist as you tay they
do, then tbe police lorce should be. ma
terially Increased. I would rather not
say anything dellnlte about it until I
have looked into the matter,"
lion. J. A. H emeu way, Indiana: "I
should like to look Into tbe question,
first', but if they are as you represent
them to be, why, of course, the police
force should be increased."
Hon. J. F. Aldrich, Illinois: "If tbe
city needs additional policemen and can
convince Congress that it does, I think
there wilt b'e no doubt that they will
get them."
-If the policeforce of tils city needs an
increase, and" it can be clearly f.hown
that tiie present force Is insufficient,
then tbey most assuredly, should have
additional men." " ,
Hon. W. C. Andersou, Tennessee "I
don't know aDythlcg"about tbe situa
tion here, but if the force is insuffi
cient, and this can.b demonstrated,
meu-hould.be- added to-it.l -
Hon. Miles Crowley, Texas: "Jf the
polk:rorceorttierT;Ityis too small it
should be Increased. In a city of this
size it Beems to me It would need a
good many men to properly protect
the" rights and property of citizens.
Of course, unless the right kind of men
arc put on tbe force a large number of
coppers would be a .decided drawback
to a city, because tbemen would becoma
domineering and try to run things."
MR. SATER'S PBOMISE.
lion. Joseph D. Sayers, Texas, chair
man ot the Appropriations Commute
during the Fifty-third Congress: "I
have only arrived in the city, and If
you will come up to the committee room
after Congress meets I will tell you
something about it. It the force la
Washington Is insufficient, and this
can be demonstrated to the satisfaction
of all the members, why, there is to
doubt but that tbey will vote for an
Increase.'
Hon. Walter Beeves, Illinois: "I have
been in the city several days, but as
yet I have, seen no policemen. I had
begun to think until you assured ms
that a force really existed, that the
people of Washington looked out for
things themselves. Of course, a city of
tbe size and importance of Washington
should be provided with an adequate
police force, and if such is not the case
now, I have no doubt that Congress will
remedy it."
Hon. It. J. Tracewell, Indiana: "I
have, of course, no other authority for
the condition of affairs than what I
