Kepnblicans aro confident, however, that tho Democrats will adopt permanently thecode of rules yvhich has for the last Congres been used. If this is done no com plaint will be heard. The Kepnblicans, with much less than Democratic complaint, can take their -own medicine. Already there have been Democratic boasts made that, beside no recognition for speechmaking. Mr. Reed is to be relegated to the rear in the next House. It is expected that he will be placed on the most insignificant committee to be found. The Democrats want to hear from him as infrequently as possible. They may conclude, however, that maltreatment will only emphasize his prominence. He can speak in others' time, and will be the Republican leader on the lloor despite niggardly treatment. Tli Hehrln; Sea Dispute. Washington-, March 11. Nothing conld be learned at the State Department to-day as to whether Secretary Blaine would accept the terms of arbitration set forth in the latest dispatch which he had received from Lord Salisbury in regard to tho Behriag sea trouble, but that the outcome will be arbitration, no one doubts. Mr. Blaine will, it is thought, endeavor to make some changes in the scheme which Lord Salisbury has era bod ed, but whether he is successful or not in that effort, arbitration will ensue. "There is nothing farther in the Be bring sea question," said Secretary Blaine this afternoon. "It is practically settled that we will submit the question to arbitration."

Special to the IndisaaDoha Journal. Washington, March 11. Although the bill to construct a home for the President' beside the White House came to the very verge of becoming a law. Chairman Milliken, of the Honse committee on public buildings and grounds, who had it in charge, says it cannot be successful under each a rule an Congress is about to enter upon. It looks as though the home of the President would continue to be a publio place for many years yet. ai.d strangers will continue to demand admission and. receive it at all times of the day and night, in the interest of common curiosity. About forty persons ask to be shown through the kitchen and bedchambers every day. and if they are reminded that a portion of the executive mansion is a private bouiehold, they turn away with threat to vote the other ticket next time.

lijnuua Not In the It ace. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, March 11. The first estimate as to the probable outcome of the speakership contest is furnished by a friend of Congressman Mills, who asserts that that gentleman is assured of seventy-five . votes on the first ballot, while Crisp will have forty-five, McMillan twenty-seven. Springer twenty-three, and Bynnm thirteen. These figures are, of course, made op by Mills's particular admirers, but the advocates of Crisp's election assert that if his and Mills's places were transposed in the list it would be very much nearer the real probabilities. There can be no doubt but that the contest will be between Crisp and Mills in the outset, with Wilson and McMillaa making strong bids for the first place. How They Will Spend the Summer.

WESTINGHOUSE'S DEFEAT. Ousted from the Directory of One of Ills Companies A Secretary's Trickery. New Yokk, March 1L Mr. Westinghonse, when questioned by a reporter this morning about the ousting of his friends from the directory of the Union Switch and Signal Company at Pittsburg yesterday, through the use of proxies obtained by the secretary of the company,- A. T. Kowand, said: "I do not care to say anything or to have a sensation made out of this matter. It is a very simple question. ' The election, of course will not stand. Kowand obtained without anthority proxies from stockholders in lavor of George Westinghouse. jr., or A. T. Kowand, and then used them as stated in the dispatches from Pittsburg. A protest will be entered against the election, and the stockholders whose proxies were obtained will make affidavit that they intended them to be voted in favor of the E resent directory, that is, in the Westingouse interest. As to Mr. Rowand's conduct, which was entirely unauthorized, the only charitable conclusion to oomo to is that he was not in his right mind at the time he 'acted in such an extraordinary way, taking advantage of my absence. The statement that judgment has been entered against me at Boston, or against interests, I represent, is absolutely false. I have had no legal complications in Boston, and there is no litigation pending there in which I am interested as a defendant, so far as I am aware. ItecelTer Asked for a Brewery.
