NEW HOUSE RULES.

They Erect a Barrier Against Fill* bustoring Tactios.

BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF THE NEW CODE.

Powers of the Speaker Enlnrged Th| Commltten'M Koport Adopted by tht Republican Caucus—Action of the

Democratic. Caacus.

BOMB IMPORTANT CHAHOKS.. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The vail of secrecy still hangs over tho code of rules submitted to^the Republican oauctis Wednesday upon which Mr. MoKlnloy Is preparing tho formal report. But enough of tho now rules is known to warrant tho stntemont that when thoy are adopted by tiie House the way of thd filibuster will bo made hard, public business will bo dispatched with moro celerity than was possible under the old rules, and important measures will not be burled under mass of other bills on the calendar, whore they can not bo roached at the will of a majority. Those are objeota which the majority of the committee on rulos have aimed at.

At the Republican caucus Wednesday ovoning tho report of tho committee on rules ,was adopted without matorlal amendment, but thore was at least one Important addition—viz: Pension legislation was piucod in tho privileged class and reports from tho committee on Invalid pensions made in order at any time. This cliango was made by a vote of 70 to 24.

Three calendars are provided for under Rule 15. A now clause is added, as follows: "On tho demand of any member the names of members present-but not votlnp or any call by tho Speaker of the yeas und nays shall be noted by the clerk under the supervision of tho Speaker and shall bo recorded In tho Journal and recorded Immediately after the names of1 those voting In the affirmative and negative^ under tho head of 'present and not voting,' and shall be followed by tho names of absent members, which shall le entered under tho head of absentees."

This ife In* line with Speaker Reed's recent ruling. Heretofore the House has. spent the groater part of each Monday, and sometimes both Monday and Tuesday in the call of States for the introduction of bills and resolutions for reference to committees. These wore usually read from the Clerk's desk simply by their tltlos, but any momber had tho right to call for the reading of overy bill and resolution in full, and this right hhs been exorcised many times for the sole purpose of wasting-time In order to prevent tho House from completing the call of States In time to proceed to other business. Tho new rulea entirely out oil this kind of filibustering by abolishing bill day and providing that bills and resolutions may bo handed to the Clerk and referred to the proper committeos by direction of the Speaker. Any errors of reference can be corrected on subsequent days when the fact is disclosed by the journal or Congressional Record.

Tho call of committees for reports, which consumed a great deal of time, gives place to a provision that reports of committees shall be banded to the Clerk and placed upon the proper oalendar. Tho rule in regard to the "previous question" Is so changed that the previous question may, upon one motion, be ordered so as to include a bill and amendments from the engrossment to the final passage or rejection of tho bill. This avoids qne motion and saves much time.

The ^motions to take a recess and to adjourn to a certain day are doprivod of the privileged character whioh made them so doar to all filibusters, and a new rulo Is provided which explicitly declaros that "no dilatory motion shall be entertained by the Speaker."

Sec. 1 of the old rule 21, which requires bills and joint resolutions to be read three times before passing, Is stricken out. The rule (21) omits the provisions of the old rule forbidding the amalgamation of two pending resolutions and treating river and harbor and post-route bills as petitions In their Introduction.

The. quorum of the House when sitting as a committee of the whole is fixed at 100, and a majority of thiB quorum may decide what business shall be takon up in committee of the whole unless tho House shall have previously instructed the committee, but revenue bills, generar appropriation bills and river and harbor bills are given preoodenco over other busisess in committee of tho whole. Power is given to a majority In committee of tho whole close debate on any section or paragraph or upon pending amendments. Theso changes lop off a great deal of tedious formality that was required under tho other practlco, facilitates tho transaction of the business before-the. -committee, and prevents unreasonable .delay by members who offer amendments and spoak to them for tho piirpose of obstruction.

What may bo a change full of significance occurs in Sec. 3 of Rulo 23 (requiring certain measures to bo considered in committee of tho whole). This is in.the opening.seutenoo, which begins: "All motions or propositions originating either in tho Houso or Sonate involving a tax or oliargo upon tho people, all proceedings touching appropriations of mondys." The words "originating in tho House or Senate" are newly inserted, and would appear to recognlzo tho long-disputed right of ttoe Senate to originate tariff and appropriation

bills./.

The daily order of business bas been arranged so us to refor'.bufiinosa on the Speaker's table, sucb as Sunate bill*

and resolutions, and communications, and reports from tbo beads of departments, without debate, and dispose of House bills with Sertate amendments at once without reference to committees.

Then unfinished business is In order from day to day until disposed of. Each committee is to lie. given a chanco in turn to call up for consideration a bill reported by it the previous day. After one hour lias been devoted to the consideration of such bills it will be in order to go into committee of tho whole upon a motion authorized by ono of the atanding committees.

Tho committee on rules rnported a provision In respeot to general appropriation bills so as to permit amendments to such bills to be taokr on when deemed necessary for carrying on the several department* of tho Government and recommended by a committee. But this provision wus opposed and was stricken out.

THK DKMOCItATIC CAUCUS. The new House rules were considered In the Democratic caucus Wednesday night. There was little discussion, but tho general sentiment is that, no matter how' obnoxious the rules are, they were asked for by the Democrats and would be considered In a fair spirit. Mr. parllsle was accordingly Instructed to negotiate with tho majority managers for a proper and reasonable time to consider tho rules in case thoy should bo reported to-day. The -Republicans will also bo Nqnested to allow a debato of reasonable length upon them when thoy are ealled up for consideration, and If these Concessions are granted the Democrats will Interpose no unusual obstacles' to action upon them.

America ooagretulates the people of Brazil on their Just and peaceful assumption of tho powers, duties and responsibilities of self-gov-ernment baw!d upon the free consent of the governed, and on their recent adoption of a republican form of government."

It omits the words "expressed in their repudiation of monarchic rulo." It also omits several paragraphs declaring the recognition of the United States of Brazil as a lawful and rightful Government, and directing the President to require tho people and officers of tho United States to recogpize the flag of the Unltod States of Brazil as the flag of a free, sovereign and Independent State.

At 2 o'clock Senator Blair arose in pursuance of a notice previously given to speak on his educational bill, which came up for consideration as unfinished business. He spoke for about two hours. No action was taken on tho bill, which went over.

FDNERiL OF MRS. AND MISS TR4CY.

The Services lleld In the East Kuom the White House Were Simple but! Touching la Character—The Secretary's Grief-Floral Tributes.

W\--i! :i\. l'ob. fl.—The saddest of all the sa.L SI-IMIOK attending the calamity which lias overwhelmed tho Searetary of the Navy was enacted in tho historic east room of the White Houso yesterday morning. Around two black cloth-covered caskets containing all that was mortal of Mrs. Delinda E. Tracy and her daughter, Miss Mary Farrington Tracy, there was grouped one of the most distinguished assemblages of this country. Under tho big crystal Chandelier and with thoir heads to the east wore placed tho caskets, which were almost hidden from view by the number of Horal tributes from sympathizing friends of tho stricken Secretary. Tho sympathy of sorrow found expression in tho exquisite wreath of, violets and lilies of the valley from tho Seerotary of State and Mrs Blaine.

Seats were arranged on throe sidos of. a square, tho open spaco being used for tbo entrance of the mourners and the Presidential party, who wore assigned seats fronting the caskets. The Vice-President and Mrs.' Morton, who were among tho earliest arrivals, were seated opposite. Near by wore the British Minister and family, the German Minister, tho Chinese an£ Corean legations, tho Brazilian Minister, and many other'members of the diplomatic corps. Army and navy officers wore In great numbers, arid nearly all were In full uniform.

The pall-bearers for Mrs. Tracy wore as follows: Secretary Windom, Secretary Proctor, Attor-ney-General Miller. Postmaster-General Wanfcmaker, Secretary Noblo. Seerotary Rusk, Admiral Porter, Rear-Artinirnl Rotors, General J. 8. T. Stranahan of Brooklyn, and Major-Gen-eral Seholleld, II. S. A.

The pall-boarors for Miss Tracy wore I Passed Assistant Surgeons W. A. McClurf and Robert Whiting, Passed Assistant Paymaster A. H. Mlcbler, U. S. Is'., und Messrs. Charles M. Rny, Frank Lee, Proderlclt Mo. Kennoy, John Ulddle and Charles Johnson.

Both bodies were born by sailors detailed from the Dispatch. Shortly bofore 11 o'clock the Schubert quartette, stationed just within the entrance to the East room from the main corridor, sung tho hymn "I Can Not Always Trace tbo Way." The members of the Cabinet soon after entered and took seats at tho right of tbo caskets.

They wore soon followed by tke funeral procession Secretary Tracy and Ms son Frank walking arm in arm at the head. They were followed by Genoral J. S. Catlin, Mr. A. B. Catlln, Mrv Robert Graves and daughter, and other relatives. A short spaco behind them came President and Mrs. Harrison, Mii »nd Mrs. McRoe, Secretary and Mrs^ Blaine, Rev. Dr. Scott, the Presidents fathor-ln-law Mr. .11. B. Raymondj Lieutenant Mason and Mr. Hal ford.

As soon as those wore seated the choir of the St. John's EpiwopSl Church) consisting of sixteen snrplicod boys and four men, under the direction of Mr. William II. Daniel, entered1 the malq oorrldor, and as they parsed-along with alow and measured step sung the hymn "Lead, Kindly Light"

They ranged themselves in front of the mourners and the Presidential party and continued to sing until the hymn was concluded. The words of that touching composition rang dearly through tho llower-porfumed atmoBphere, and no sound broke the smooth swell of melody until Secretary Tracy, unable longer tocontain himself, gavo vent to a sob that started' tho tears to the eyes of every one in his immediate vicinity, and as the boyish trebles commonced, "So long Thy power hath led me, sure it will still lead me on," tho gray-haired Naval chief bowed his heud- in bis'hands.

The close of the hymn was followed a moment or two of silence and then Jiev. George W. Douglass, rector of J3tj John's Episcopal Church, oommenced to read: "Lord, so teach mo to number my days," and tho oholr joined In a responalve reading of the Scriptural selection. "Jorflis, Lover of my Soul," was tho next hymn, and Its rendition was not left solely to Vhe choir. A great proportion of those present joined in tho wellknown air. "Now is Christ risen from the doad and is bocomo the first fruits of them' that slept." The reader was the pastor of the Foundry Methodist Episcopal Church, and ho stood at the foot of the. caskot containing Mrs. Tracy's romains. When Dr. Elliott had concluded the eholr, joined once more by many of thoso present, sang "Rook of Ages."

The conclusion of the services was by Rev. Dr. Douglass. Tho divine lot fall a little earth on oach orobld-laden casket and repeated the formula,' "Earth to earth, ashen to ashes, dust to dust." In concert tbo clergymen and auditors repoated tho Lord's Prayer, and when that ended the choir sang "Abide with Me" as a recessional. During tho singing Secretary Tracy stood up and watched the., white-robed--.vocalists as -.they marched slowly around the romains of his dead and then out. The blue jackets—the ».active pal 1-bearors—en-tered, and tho Secretary onco moro broke down completely. \Thc 1 "resident was by his side in an instant, and putting his right hand beneath the Secretary's left arm he supported bis friend, while tears rolled down his own cheeks and the volco which was trying to comfort the sorrowing was tremulous with' grief.
