The Democrats Will Object to Two Election Committees. ACRIMONIOUS DEBATE PROBABLE. The Minority Party Declares That Repub licans Are In a Hurry to Crowd Out Democrats Whose Seats Are Contested. Wabiiinoton, Dao. 10. This will be tho Inst w)k in the houso befbro tho rccoss for tho Christmas holidays, and practically tho only tlilutf that will bo accomplished will bo tho uppol a tmonr, of tha committees, which Speaker Rood will announce on Frldny or Saturday, when tho recess is taken. As a preliminary. to tho appoint ment of tho conliiilttces, hbwercr, tho pro ceedings wilt probably bo enlivened by u couplo of dayn of nctlvo skirmishing. Tho houso is operating under tho rules of tho Flfty-llrst congress. In that con gross tho nivniborshlp of tho leading com mittees, Uko ways nml menus, appropria tions judiciary, etc., was fifteen mombers. Owing to tho Increase In tho membership of tho house, us a result of tho latest cen sus and tho admission of tha four north western territories in 1890 tho membership of these conimltteos was increased in tho Fifty-f-ecoud congress to seventeen. It will bo necessary, therefore, to bring in amend ments to tho rules, under which tho houso Is now operating, to increase tho member ship of those committees to seventeen. Although tho goneral tlebato on the rules will not como until tho rule3 com mittee makes its report, nftor tho holi days, still It is not unlikely that tho prop osition to increase tho membership of tho committeos referred to will precipitate general debate. Certainly, it it does not, another resolution will bo offered today or tomorrow. This will bo In the shapo of a resolution to dlvldo tho committee on elections. There are twenty-nluo con tested seats in tho prosout lioiuo, an un precedented number. Kxperleuco has shown that tho consideration of olectlou cases nro long, tedious affairs, and it has repeatedly happened as In the last con gross, that tho end of tho second session and ilual adjournment is reachod with some cases still ponding. Tho houso leaders, therefore considered it wlso to divido tho committee this year, In order to facilitate tho oomideratiou of tho cases. The Democrats charged that tho plan is to bo permed that Democrats may bo more promptly ousted from their seats, and tho debate will doubtless develop con siderable partisan rancor. In case tho cor respondence over tho Venezuelan boundary lino Is not sent to congress today or tomor row u resolution calling for it may bo passed, It is. not Improbable also that tho report of Secretary Carlisle, which will bo submitted today, may bo brought before tho houso by homo parliamentary device and mado tho subject of an exciting de bute. Speeches are promised in tho senate dur ing tho week on various topics now before that body. Senator Hill probably will talk on tho Monroo doctrine, Senator White on the senate rules and Senator Steward on his resolution regarding tho effect of tho ruto of exchange on agricul ture and manufactures botween gold standard and silver standard countries. There is also u probability of somo speeches on Senator Poller's bill regarding sena torial funerals. This is tho only bill of goneral importanco which has been re ported from committee. It is possible that tho reorganization question may como up during the latter part of tho week, but tho best opinion is that the reorganization will not bo perfoctod beforo tho holidays. Tho adjournment for Christmas is oxpoctod to take placo on Friday. Gompors Succeed Ills Successor. New Yokk, Dec. 10.

Tho leaders of the Brotherhood have had a conference with the Lehigh Valley ollicials in reference to tho reinstatement of strikers, hut nothing definite can bo learned as to tho result of the con ference. One of the grievances is the alleged breach of faith on the part of the Lehigh ollicials in ' not giving strikers the preference in tilling i vacancies On the llazleton division, it is ! claimed, Superintendent Blakoslee never j gave this agreement any consideration. A I few weeks ago fifteen new men were hired, but ex-strikers were utterly ignored when the selection was made. For this reason the matter was laid before the ollicials of the i company. There are ominous muttering all along the line, and If the agreement i not carried' out in good faith by tho company there may be more trouble. A llasi) liall Suit.
