Important Questions Bearing on the Coming Session. General Clark's Chances for Re-election as Clerk. TUB HOUSE DOORKEEPER. A Strong Fight Making for Captain Reodor of Pennsylvania. VARIOUS NOTES AND Q033IP. A gentleman from New York, In conver sation with a Critic reporter this morning, stattdthatat the recent meeting of tbo New Yoik delegation they unanimously agreed to support Mr. Wm, Q. Raines for tbo Cleiktblp ot the Homo. He also stated tbatUuurko Cochran ot New York would be the gentleman to put Mr. Haloes la nom ination, and that Mr. Caruthof Kentucky would second tbe nomination. Mr. Raines will bave a number of prom Icent gentlemen friends here from New York to help him In his rico. Among tbem will bo Secretary of State Cook, Mayor Abram S. Hewitt, Judge Maurice J. Power ot tbo County Democracy and State Senator Murphy, who will arrive about tbe middle ot tbe week. Mr. (leorge Raines, tbe brother of tbe candidate, Is here also aLd stopping at tbe Arlington. The New York Democrats In Washington will lender a reception to Secretary Cook at Willard'a Tiiuiuy 11I4U. Mr. Cook Is from the same county as Mr. mines. Be sides tbe gentlemen above named Congress men Cummlogs and Mcrrlman, Colonel John R, Fellows, Edward Cooper. Hugh J. Grant and ex-Congressman Ureenleaf are eipected to be present. Ueorge Raines was cbalrmin of tbe con vention that nominated Governor Hill and Secretary of State Cook, It Is also stated that Governor Hill would like very much to see Mr. Raines get tbe position. Mr. Ralcea la a zentleman about 33 veara of age, and Is one of tbreo brothers, allot whom are In the practice of law at Kocbss- ier, rt. 1. He waaatthoCanltol veaterdav and In formed several of General Clark's employes mat iney neeu noi dq ai an ingniencu aooui being put out ot their positions, as he would see that they wore kept In when be came Into office. General Clark, when seen this morning, seemed not to be disconcerted In tbe least 6y tbe threatened opposition from New lork,and evidently has no doubt whatever of bis election. He has tbo record and the friends, bo thinks, to pull htm through without difficulty. As to tbe alleged sym pathy of tbe Administration with Mr. Haloes, as Intimated la tbe Pott, or tbe President's Interference In tbe election la any way, he thinks It supremely pre posterous. There seems to be a mistaken Idea about Mr. Caruth ot Kentucky's vote for the Clerkship. Mr. Raines claims htm, but Mr. Carutb stated to General Clark yester day that he would vote for him most em phatically, Tbe general Impression to day seems to be, ss It has been al 1 along, that Mr, R lines baa entered tbo contest too late to make his real elements ot strength sufficiently available. THE DOORKEEFERSmr. Another "Richmond In the field," and a formidable candidate for tbe Doorkeeper ship of the House, Is Captain Daniel K- 'Boeder of Pennsylvania, a onc-umed Fed. era) soldier, who Is an honored member of tbe Grand Army ot the Republic, and In dorsed by tbe entire Democratic delegation of bis State. He Is also warmly supported lo Cbuuncey F. Black of York, Pa,; Hon. John A. Magee, late member of Congress from PennsjIvanU, acd Hon. Otho R. Sin cltton, tbe MIsslttlppI ei-CongrcBsmin, and refers by permlsstua to General Horn crans. General John C. Black and Malar J, B Burke. A letter from Dallas Sanders, chairman of tbe Democratic State Committee ot IVnu rjlvanla, says that Captain Racder'a se lection for the Doorkeeperabtp U one that would give great satisfaction to tho Democ racy of tbe State. Among the elguers to tbe address In his behalf to tbe Democratic-Members of the House are E. tZUMcLure, appointment clerk of the Postofllce Department: A. N. Brcckenrldge and Colonel A. J. Terry of Virginia, and other gentlemen well known In Washington and vicinity. Csptalo Reeder Is not only a gentteraiu of great popularity with tbe old soldiers, but also with tbe Knights of Labor, and at a meeting beld In Waahlngtou on tbo 37th ct September last, composed of ex-soldiers and worklngmen, ot which A. N. Brecken tldge was president and II. G. Trader, sec retary, resolutions were adopted strongly urging Captain Recder's election upon tho D raorratlc members of the House. A like flattering indorsement was ex tended to him by a meeting of ex-Coafed erate Veterans held In Neosho, Mo., No vember 17, showing that la tbo case of Cap tain Reeder all lines ot sectional prejudice bave been obliterated. Meeting with one of the friends of Cap tain Reeder this morning, a CniTio reporter Inquired what tbe Captain's chances were. "brom present Indications," he said, "tbe position will certainly go to Daniel K, lleidtr, the one-armed veteran from Penn sylvania, as tbe most available of all the candidates to far mentioned. In all proba bility Mr. Reeder will get the votes from tbe north and east of Pennsylvania and nearly all oust ot tbo Allegheny and Blue Ridge mountslus, bts Domination com tog from one of tie most Intluenttal of South ern delegations Id Congrpss.

The piospects are bright for a lively iklrniUhln tfaeS nate when Mr. Turple of Udlaua preeent himself 1 ext Monday to bo swern In. Tbe Republicans refuse to dis close at this time tha roratamethey In terd to follow, but it is understood that objection will be maJo to Mr. Turple being sworn In, and that reference will ba nfrked for hla case to tbe Committee on I'rlvltt-itea and Elections, on the ground that bis certificate does not bear all ot the recfMary rlgnatures ot officers ot the Leg 1t.lr.tmo and that ot tbe Secretary ot State, am uifti 11 11 not mereiurrj a pruni jacie pi oof of bis tlectlou. Htnitor Voorbeea, wbo will represent Mr. Turple'a case, does not anticipate a refusal uf tbe Sunato to administer tbe oath. He fays the oath may bo administered and tho contest go to the commllteo, tbe contestee waiving the usual rights of a Senator for the time and until the contest Is finally passedl upon by the committee nnd tbo Senate. It Is stated In Senatorial circles to-day that at a caucus of Democratic Senators last evening It was said that tbo eoitlng of Sen ator Turple Is no longer a matter ot tbe slightest doubt. It wss clslmod that on an actual count of tbe Senate Mr. Turplo bas enough votes to seat him. Kotea of Interest Pertaining to tho Coming Session. The Senate Committee on Flnancomet this mornlog and discussed tho subject ot undervaluations. Senators Beck, Morrill and Allison were present. A Subcommittee of tbo Democratic Senatorial caucus was also In session, con slderlng the question ot tbe West Virginia and Indtsna Senatorshlps. Ibero are two certificates ot election that have not been filed with tho Clork ot tho House tboso of Charles Tracy of Albiny, and James J, Belden of Syracuse, N, Y, REMOVAL OF Fill IT RTADg. The fruit and cigar stands that for many years have occupied the corridor In the House end of tbe Capitol will probably re ceive orders to move on whoa Congress meets. They have already boon removed from tbe Berate side. The stands will probably bo allowed to carry on business on the floor beneath tbo House. Democratic Honntor I'niifVr. An Informal meeting of the Democratic Senators was beld at the Capitol yesterday afternoon. A quorum of the Democratic caucus was prcseut, Mr. Gorman acting as stcrctery. A committee, consisting of Sen ators .Pugh, lUrrta, Vist and llUckburo, was appointed acd authorised to confer with tbe gentlemen on tho other side about tbe organization of tbe Senate for the com IrgtcMlon. No definite action was taken on any subject. IN THE HOTELCORRIDORS. Hon. Rlcbaid W. Townsbend ot Illinois, wbolsattbeRIggs, will probably make bis heme there for tbe session, bts daughter In tbe meantime remaining In tchool at Man hattanvllte, N. Y., and bis son at Klogston, both children ot grout promise. Mr. Towosbend has traveled extensively about tbe country daring the recess, and returns to nacblngton rully convinced ot tbo great and general popularity of President Cleve land and bis administration, To retain the confidence ot the country, however, It will be necessary for tho Democratic party to make material reduction ot the surplus revenues. Such reduction he conceives to be a financial necessity, and, In bis opinion, Congress should begin by reducing the tsx on cigars and cigarettes $-20,000,000; on sugar. $13,000,000; $10,000,000 more by tbe addition of hemp, lumber and aalt Lome ireeusi, anu iD,wu,wuor $ju,uiai, OfO by other modifications ot exlstlog du ties. Mr. Townshend Is not only a revenue reformer In the best sense ot tbe term, but be Is also In favor of commercial reciprocity or virtual free trade between the United States and all the American countries north and south. Ills bill providing for .an In ternational Congress to consider tbls nut ter pssscd the Senate last winter. It now has many more friends and will doubtless be passed through bo'b Houses without serious opposition. A number of Congressmen arrived last night, and this morning most of tbem regis tered at the hotels, where they locate until they can find suitable accommodation out side. Among tbe members registered at tbo Metropolitan la Hon. J. M. Brower of North Carolina, who defeated Congressman James W. Reld of tbe Fifth District. la conversation with a Cmtic reporter Mr. Brower said that the people ot North Caro lina were In favor of tbo repeal of tho internal revenue laws, and be thought tbe delegation would vote that way when the time came. It the tax was taken oft whisky, he said, there wouldn't ba so much ot It manufactured, and consequently Us consumption would be materl-illy reduced. He said the elections In North Carolina wero as fair as any elections la tbo North. Ito did not know wbo tbe Bepubllcans would honor with tbe nomination for S.ieiker. Ex-Congressman Robert Lowry ot Fort Wayne, led., Is at tbe St. James. He is contesting the seat of Mr. James B. White, ltepubllcan. Ho says he bas a (rood caso, and tbe evidence will prove thit White was not llected. Senator Rlddleberger of Virginia bas re turned from Philadelphia, and Is tempo rarlly staying at tbe Metropolitan, The Senator says tbls session will be an exceed. lugly lively one, acd will afford the new members an opportunity to show what Kf rid cf material tbey are made of. J. G. Cannon of Illinois, tbo able Republi can Representative, la staying at tbe Ebbltt. Mr. Cannon Is a fluent talker and gives bis views freely. In a conversation with a Critic reporter last nlgbt bo said tbo Demo cratlc party must be beld responsible for Bny tariff legislation that might be enacted tbls cession. He criticised tbe Chicago platform by saying that It enabled tbo dls agreeing Democrats to agree la convention, but that when they went before the people the two wings of the Democracy could flap In two, different keys, thereby catching votes In tbe free trade and protective sections of thecouotry. He Is Inclined to think that tbe Chicago platform will be readoptod la tha next Democratic Convention. Mr. Cannon Is In favor of Increased expendi tures and a reform of tbo tariff. In his opinion Cleveland will be renominated. A CitiTia reporter met Senator Allison In tbe lobby of the Arlington Hotel last night, but all efforts to Induce the Senator to f peak ot himself as a Presidential candi date were In vain. The Senator said when tbe time came the Republicans would have a cabdldate for that important office. While taking a stroll up town last nlgbt Tint Citixio reporter met Congressman Matson ot ludlaoa.
