WALL STREET

NEW YORK. Jan. 21. Tbe London market for American shares Saturday reflected a downward trend; leading Issues being quoted H to H below parity. At tbe opening of our market London cabled over selling orders In moderate volume and the offerings were well sbsorbed. At the outset tbe railrosd -list averaged to H higher; industrials to 4 lower. At tbe flrst hour s decidedly better tone prevailed all through tbe list, with Missouri Pacific tbe distinct feature. This stock waa accumulated by a representative bouse and sold at &2. a new high price level and a gain of IH over Friday s flnnl. Northern Pacific was again in uer mand and scored a point advance; at. Paul advanced H; Union Pacine. Reading and tbe remainder of tbe list were Inactive at slight fractional gains. There waa a very ligbt volume of business in the Industrial list. At the end of the flrst hour Hteel. Smelters snd Copper ruled uncbara-ed from the previous closing. Floor operations were largely professional and in the nature of evening up commitments.It was officially denied that tbe directors of tbe LnClede gas company of St. Louis had authorlxed the Increase In tbe common stock of $1,000,000 and HkewlEe distribution of tbe company' surplus to stockholders In tbe form of a bonus. Immediately liquidation In LaClede gas shares started and for a time unsettled tbe list, but tbe official statement further advised tbat tbe proposition bad leen favorably discussed Friduy and would be further discussed Monday at a special meeting of tbe board. There was a good class of buying noted In the Erie share-s on the prospective fluancing which was thought would be advsntageouftly consummated. Tbe list cloaed Irregular with professionals evening up commitments and a somewhat improved absorption from tep.Mentative nouses. NEW YORK STOCKS. (By A. Atchison ...... Amu I. Copper.. W.

0RGAIIIZATI011 OF ' THE LOWER HOUSE

Is Thing that Most Interests the Visitors to National Capitol. ASK TO SEE LEADERS "Leaders" Are Numerous, One for Each Important Bill to Be Heard. wasnmgton, Jan. 21. Visitors to the galleries of the house of represeutatives often puzzle the guides to have pointed out to them the Republican leaders," and the question invariably leads to a discussion. Newspaper correspondents frequently preface their stories by saying "the leaders" have agreed on this or that legislative program, without naming the leaders. That there are leaders is unquestionable, but there is generally but one leader in charge of an important bill. As a matter of fact, the Speaker of

mZ -rtv I Jt "'d if d" f twhen he takes charge of a bill reportlit iLZ'rfb, ff ,13 Ht0,m y the committee is Representative nL S .P ffeCtive- , Thi e Walter I. Smith, of Iow. He is aiso IZLTTX ' ,howeT' ' Jf the ; a member of the rules .ommittee. as speaker of the house has had this pre- do ReFresentaUve p . G1ett, ot

. qu"un'l ? " I.. !l OCCa8i?S eatly curtailed I was the speaker's, leadership that brought about the issue of Cannonism" which proved so disastrous to many Republicans in the November election, and made Wominent the demand for a committee on committees, which threatened to give the Democrat in , the next house all kinds . of trouble. Next In Importance Next to the speaker the most important member on the floor is the chairman of the ways and means commit tee. In this congress he is Representative Payne, of New York. ' He is the member of the house to make the motion to adjourn at the close of the day's session. He is the one who says whether or not the house will do' business in the early days of the session when the legislative program is being arranged. Chairman Payne is always in his seat when the session opens, and is present when the house is ready to adjourn. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule, when budgets from the several committees have been reported and are up for consideration. Then the leadership spreads out. so to speak, and the honor is passed along the line. The ways and means committee is charged with. all legislation having for its purpose the raising of revenue by imports and internal taxation. It is a privileged committee, and always has the right of way, except when the election committees have contested election cases to report. These committees, of which there are three, are of the highest privilege , because they have charges of cases affecting the right of members, and can get the floor at any time. The next committee in Importance is that of rules, which formulates the legislation and its chairman, Representative John Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, takes the leadership .whenever he has a report to make.. Method of Procedure Special orders are reported from the rules committee under which measures are considered out of their order, thereby giving them the right of way. All of tbe most important bills reported from committees, such as the tariff bill, the postal savings bill, the omnibus public building bill, all Mils that are provocative of long debate, are brought up under special orders from the rules committee. It was the immense power , exercised by the rules committee which prompted the insurgents fight on Speaker Cannon, which

led to his removal from that committee, and the election of the committee by the house last year. The committee,' however, still retains its prtvile ed character. Following in order is the appropriation committee, which has control of Uncle Sam's purse strings. Represen

tative James A. Tawney, of Minn, who was defeated for renomination asyi ; who has served 18 years in congress, is trhairman. ' - When the budgets are before the house he take3 the leadership and guides the money bill through the parlimantary shoa'.s. I is no child's play, for ie must keep strict watch on his colleagues, or they will undo much of his work, and swell the appropriations by securing adoption of amendments. It is when the budgets the under consideration, that the "watchdogs" of the treasury,, Mann, of Illinois, and Macon, of Arkansas, get out their pruning knives and cut the pet schemes of some of,. Ithe members or department chlets by making points of order against them

increasing appropriations not author- band to answer Eix tm,ctments of the' ized by the existing law. The "watch- j granJ Jary for ofteiMies, was dogs" can play havoc with the work of , polntt.d outat a meethtg of the county the commute having charge of the nc1 of charity yeswrday aa an 11budgets.

'erans, and know the rules thoroughly which explains in a measure their success as leaders. But all the floor leaders are not con fined to the ways and means, the appropriations and the rules committees. There are other privileged committees, such as postoffices and postroads, military affairs,, and rivers and harbors which have charge of appropriation bills, and the chairman of the -chairman of these committees plays an important part in the lagislation of the house. . They are Representatives Weeks, of Massachusetts postoffices and postroads; Hull, of Iowa, military affairs; Foss, of Illinois, naval affairs; Scott, of Kansas, agriculture; Foster, of Vermont, foreign affairs; Burke, of South Dakota, Indian affairs; and Alexander, of Now York, . rivers and harbors. Then there is the committee of interstate and foreign commerce,, of which Representative James R,-Mann, of Illinois, is chairman. He is regarded by many as the floor leader per se, for the reason that he is generally accepted as the speaker's floor lieutenant. Representative Mann is always on guard, and no one ever gets unanimous consent for the consideration of a measure or resolution without the representative from Illinois saying, reserving the rights to object, Mr. Speaker," and then having secured the recognition from the chair. Representative Mann is in the position to block or help pass the measure. He takes a leading part in all debates on important and nation al measures. He had charge of the railroad bill, which passed the house last session, and put the bill through without appealing to tho rules committee for a special order. Whip of the House Other Republicans who take a hand in floor leadership, and who show their skill and familiarity with the rules are "Whip" Dwight, who sees to it that the Republicans are present, or about the house within call when needed for a record vote. In these closing days of the session he insists thaty the members shall attend the sessoin in order not to be caught napping by the Democrats.
