Washington, April 6.-By adopting
a sweeping cloture rule in the house
Saturday the Republicans left to the
Democrats only very limited powers.
No longer can filibuster be con-
Quoted against sending to conference
bills with senate amendments; no
longer can motion to close debate
he amended, and no longer can mo-
ton to adjourn take precedence over
motion to take recess.
In printing the rule Mr.. Dalzell
characterized the Democratic fiilibus-
ter of the last few days as Jasmine.
idiotic and a disgrace to grown men
of full stature" ..
The Democrats were afforded no op.
portunity to talk on the question and
were ridden over rough-shod. One of
the few privileges left to the Demo-.
Gratis was to force roll call on adj
journment. and this they did, but to
no avail, as the motion carried over
whelmingly, and accordingly the
house at $3.50 p. m. adjourned until
today. :,

terror. All woodwork is oak of a
rich dark finish. The light colored
ceiling. the greenish gray walls, the
soft green velvet carpets, the numer.
GUS incandescent lamps enclosed in
ground glass globes, give a very
harmonious and restful appearance.
