It may be ntifiMlltle that aome plan will be devlaed whereby the Indtan appro priation bill which fallttd at the last sobmIoii, may be paased without bnlng sent to the houae committee, in which event that committee will be muzzled. . Underwood explains that he dealres to focus the attention on the money leglMlatlon juat as ha did in connection with the tariff leglalatlon. Rhould the house committee be permitted to take up the multitude of small bills now before them and go into general legisla tion there would follow a weakening of Interest In currently reform which la to be one of the features of Democratlo achievement Some dlaaatisfactlon with this pro tram is being evidenced.
