He came here from Syracuse, the headquarters of the International Union, to spend a few day In stirring up the Sew York barber, and Is slopping at present at the Van derbllt Hotel, Forty-second meet and Lexing ton avenue. Mr. Klapetzky paid a villi to the Social Reform Club. 28 East Fourth street, yrtUrday, and afterward bad a conference with Matthew Richard and O. Btlne, tbe two organizer of the Progressive Barbers' Union, which lately bad a row with the SoclallsU In the Central Labor Federation. The Progressive Barbers are sow out of tbe federation, and Mr. KlapeUky strongly advised tbe two organisers togettbelr organization to tnln the American Federation of Labor and tbe Central Labor Union. He will have nothing to do with the Soclalltu blmtetf. Tbe Executive Council of Progrettlro Herbert will meet on Sunday night at 143 Eatt Fourth ttrret to con sider tbe question of applying for representa tion In tbe Central Labor Union and the calling of a mast meeting. The Prugreitlre Barbers want to kill the three-cent and five-cent shaves, and especially tbe latest movement of alleged barbers from Italy to give a shave and a shine for three cents.

"Tomer wat the original term for a barber In the old das a In England, when a barber was a dentist and surgeon as well. The striped pole Is a reminder of those days, when red, while. and blueetripet at the minor's door signified cop- filng or blood letting, dentistry, and halr-drett-dk or shaving." With reference to tbe tipping question Mr. Klapetzky tald It had become an established custom and would probably last until Parbera were earning enough to do without tips. On general prlnclplea be thought It belittled a man to depend on tips at part of bit Income, "The International Union," he tald.

Ther was no question of national honor Inrolred In tbe matter. There was no drunkenness In the CapitoL lie bad nerer seen a drunken man In It, it waa a libel on Concrete to say that ther were saloons In the Capitol, In the proper sense of tbe word. The queetlon Inrolred here waa a question of decency, a question of propriety. He suted the experience which be had wltb a similar question when be wa Governor of New York, and when be vetoed two such bill. II spoke of the people active In such agiutlons a " busybodle meddling wltb other people's busi ness," and said that the matter might safely be left with the Committee on Rule. Mr. Chilton (Dem., Tex.) spoke In favor of the bill and against lu reference. He thought tbat It should be patted In deference to the view of a great portion of the people of the country.

If II had any. was vicious. It would not be parliamentary to say tbat It was cowardly, and therefore he wonld not say It. He would not say that "conscience doth make cowards of us all." Neither would he say that an alleged public opinion "doth make cowards of us all." There waa not a tin gle benator who did not know that drlnka would be obtatned In the Capitol hereafter a they bad been ooulned heretofore. Hut Sena tor had to aatltfy a clamor, lo talitfy an al leged public opinion. He had no tort of retpect for tuch a public sentiment. Murder wa noth ing compared with arlolalloa ot prohibition lawt: robbery waa nothing, burglary waa nothing. He was opposed to tucb sort of narrow leglilatlon. He believed In the per aonal liberty of the cltlxtn.

All else was tyranny, ail else was opprettlon. all else wa an exhibition ot pettiness unwortbyof an American Legislature.

He thought tbat when tbe benator from New Hampshire (Mr. Chand ler).

While Mr. Hill wa speaking tbe morning hour expired and the bill went orer without action till to-morrow. Mr. Allen' resolution In reference to tbe Judicial sale ot th Union PaciBo Railroad also went over till to-morrow, Mr. Thurston stating that he would then continue his remarks on the subject.

There has bean a re port !n circulation at th Capitol for the past few day thai th leader of both bouse have practically agreed to bold back several of tb annual appropriation bills until tb extra session, in order lo alio w time for the considera tion of other measure tht would otherwise bare to be abandoned. The report la notrerl fled by any ot the Senators or Represenuiire In charge nf the appropriation bills. Indeed. Chairmen Cannon and Allison ot the House and Senate committees respectively, deny It abso lutely, but al least one Influential member of tbe House Is authority for the statement tbat the plan mentioned It under advisement. Of course there is no legal obstacle to such procedure. It it not necetiary that any ot the appropriation blllt thould become lawt before the beginning of the fiscal year. July 1, so that ther would be plenty of time for the new Con gress to contlder and pats them after March.4. All bills patted by one House and left unacted upon by the other wilt die. and the work upon them mutt be done all over again. A number of the appropriation blllt have already pasted the House, a few have patted tbe Senate, a few more are now being considered by the Senate Committee on Appropriations, and the othert are being put Into thape by the House commit te. For many years It hat been a faronto plan of the leaden to hold back appropriation blllt In order to bring them forward al the proper time to crowd out objectionable raeatures. and the fact that thlt plan It being fallowed at this triilon probably gives rite to the report lhat the blllt cannot be pasted at 1L It I very apparent now that Speaker Reed doetnotlnUnd toleld to the great pressure upon him to allow public building blllt and other meainret to which he ha been opposed to oats, and II It equallr certain that none of the important blllt pending In the senate, with tbe Ksilble exception of the Immigration bill, can brought to a vote during the present teuton.
