notable by the demonstration which
was evoked by resolution offered by
Mr. Williams the minority leader, ties.
tifyiny 10 the courtesy and impartial
manner in which Speaker Cannon had
presided over the house The resolu-
ton was not of the perfunctorv kind,
but was expressive Of the kind feeling
which men in the house Of all parties
entertained toward him. In grateful
speech the speaker declared his appre-
citation of the resolution.
Many conference reports Were agreed
TO on bills which had been in dispute
between the two houses. The only de-
bate Of any importance was on the bill

naval academy of three cadets who
had been dismissed for hazing, the
house voting overwhelmingly against it
The time was within five minutes of
the hour set for adjournment when

sippi, the minority leader, amid i'm
pressive silence, was recognized to pre-
sent resolution expressive Of the APP

faced the resolution with the statement
that, in the exercise of personal,
though not a parliamentary privilege,
that it was very welcome, he desired
to offer to the house and move the
adoption Of the reolution.
That resolution | will now read, >
he said, and he read as follows, Mr..
Richardson, of Tennessee, in the mean
time having taken the chair:
Resolved, that the house Of repre-.
sentatives return its thanks to the
speaker, Hon J. g. Cannon, of Hi.
nois, for the fair and impartial and
able manner in which he has presided
over its deliberations, and for the stur
DIV common sense and genial good hu
NOR which have been shwon by hin

unprecedented, in imitation of him, t
display the same sterling American
characteristics in their deliberation!
ana mutual dealings.
Williams EulOgizes Speaker.
Mr.. Williams, following the reading
which was punctuated with genera
applause, said it was great thing tC

a greater thing not to permit promo

allied in the world, to turn ones head
in the slightest degree orto defect one
from the course hitherto pursued, OF
being plain American citizen, witt
extraordinary common sense and re
markable fund of that most character
istic of all American qualities-geni
al humor.
This utterance provoked great ap
plause from both sides of the house
and the galleries. Mr.. Williams con
vulsed the house by referring to ii con
versation he once had with the speaker

lieve you will be" The speaker, HI
said, replied, "John, l am going t.
be as fair az | can consistently witt
the exigencies Of American politics.

of the frankness and candor Of the maj
to put in the limitation"
He then moved the adoption of thu
resolution, and that committee b'
appointed to bring the speaker in
