SPEAKERS GREAT TRIUMPH.
How Mr.. Reed Was able to Restrain the

Is9ac1AL TO THE PREss.J

Washington, March 5O.-The House Of
REPRESENTATIVES passed a memorable crisis
today. Perhaps never before in the years
that he has occupied the chair has the
Speaker loomed up as so great and con
trolling an influence in the House. The
Republican side was in almost open re-
bellion against the Presidents policy.
The Democrats counted with almost cer-
tainty that they could overrule the
Speaker and force the Cuban resolution
to q vote. But the Democratic leader,
Bailey, was very superiority informed
ON his parliamentary precedents and over
looked a square decision oflSpeaker Crisp
on an exactly similar case which made
directly against the position taken by the
Democrats today. OF course the rules OF
the House and the unbroken precedents
were on the side of the Speaker No true
Speaker could rule differently from what
he did, but yet the House was In mood
to override even its own rules and preoe-
dents. 1t was the personal influence and
bearing of the Speaker that checked the

Washington, Marcs 30-A wild and
uproarous scene occurred In the House Of
Representatives today when Mr.. Bailey
the Democratic leader attempted to force
the hands of the Republicans upon a
proposition to oyerrule the Speaker and
pass a resolution recognizing this inde-
pendence of the Cuban republic. He was
the members of the majority refused to
support him. Many of them sympathized
with the purpose of the resolution. Mr..
Hull, chairman of the military committee
went SO far as to endorse the resolution
under the impression that it provided for
a declaration of war, but most of The
radicals who were yet in favor of any sort
of revolutionary measure had been won
over by the policy of sticking to the party
organization and refused to do anything
unless the initiative came from their side.
They were rallied by two of the leading
advocates of armed Intervention and the
Speaker himself from the chair made an
indirect appeal to his party associates TO
stand firm, at the sam time intimating
that if their impatience was curbed a
little longer they would have the oppor-
tunity they coveted. When the vote was
taken only two Republicans. Messrs.

spectators in the galleries were wrought
up to high pitch of excitement Several
times later in the day during the con-
sideration of the naval bill whenever the
the Cuban question was broached the
members swarmed about the speaker and
the galleries cheered.
This was especially the case when Mr..
Cummings of New York spoke. MIR.
Bontelle who objected to a request for an

was the refusal of the chair. to ssustain a

onslaught and defeated the Democrats,
and gave to the administration a few
more days Of respite.
The Speaker made it plain today that
he had no wish to obstruct or prevent the
expression of the House on the Cuban
question, but he does not intend that the
Republican party shall be made subordi-
nate to Democratic politics. He feels that
the Republican majority in the House is
in a position Of great responsibility and
he wishes them to assume the duties Of
that responsibility in the orderly and
careful way that should distinguish the
great governing party of great nation.
He regards war as a last resort, but if the
party is determined that there be an ap-
peal to arms he wishes it to be done with
delibera ton and serious Judgment.
These were the counsels which he gave
members today, and the effect has had a
marvellous result in relieving the strain
on the situation. There was no further
outbreak today and it is thought that the
devices of the Democratic leaders can be
met tomorrow with equal success, but
the situation is exceedingly precarious.
