BouteI Nonninates Him For Presidency
 on His Anniversary.
 Washington, Feb. 19.-Soon after the house met MT. Boutell took the floor and in a thirty minutes speech, which had been duly advertised, sprung a surprise by recalling Joseph c. Can non's first speech in the house thirty four years ago, of which yesterday was the glorious anniversary. And as a climax to the surprise he nominated Speaker Cannon for the presidency of the United States.
 Members on both sides of the house clapped their hands, pounded on their desks, and, not finding that they could make enough noise this way, they cheered loudly. At the conclusion of the speech the speaker arose, and,t the cheers renewed with still greater en- thusiasm, every member stood up. Many waved their hands at the vener- able speaker and shouted, Speech, speech!
 Uncle Joe slowly shook his head, When the long demonstration let up enough for him to get in a word, he rapped the gavel hard upon the desk. Silence fell upon the throng as each enthusiastic admirer in expectancy looked toward the chair. #....
 '"The gentleman from New Hamp- shire" he sang out, tasks unanimous consent that the house resolve itself into committee on the whole house for the purpose of considering pension bills" Then he turned over the gavel ped out the side door to his private room
 Thus the thirty-fourth anniversary of Uncle Joe Cannon's first speech in the house of representatives was beftting- ly celebrated.
