Republicans, Driven io OeSpsr- atiOn By Williams, Try
 New Tactics
DEBATE IS RESTRICTED
 BY MAJORITY RULE
Congressman DaIzelI Indulees In Sar- castle Criticism of Williams, and Calls His Recent Actions
 PueriIe and Idotic.

Washington, April 4.-(Special.) )-Repub- lican leaders in the House today took up the gauge of battle thrown to them by the democrats yesterday. They mar shalled their forces and defed their an tagonists. The House adopted the gag rules that obtained in the Fifty-seventh Congress under Speaker Henderson The effect of the rules is to prohibit lengthy debate, to restrict the number of roll calls on closing debate, permits the send ing of appropriation bills to conference without intervening motions or debates and makes the recess motion privileged over motion to adjourn, thereby saving roll calls at the closing and opening of sessions.
 This move was expected by the demo- cratic leaders. although it was not gen orally known that it was to be brought out today. John Sharp Williams, minor ity leader of the House, is a member of the committee on rules, but he does not attend it's meetings at the present time. He is paired with Representative Sher- man of New York, another member of the committee, who is Ill in the Provi- dence hospital.
 The rule adopted today was present. ed by MT. Dalzell, who referred to the course of the democrats as idiotic," 'as- mine" and "a disgrace to grown men,"

Dalzell, lis simply to expedite the pub lie service and relieve the House from the grasp of this idiotic filibuster inau- gurated and engineered by the gentleman from Mississippi, and to enable the ma jority to enact the great supply bills for the next fiscal year.
 The rule was adopted on yea and nay Nnie-

 Says the statement:
 we believe that the whole thing was financed (and these have plenty of money by the men or man who organized what is known as the independent league, hop ing thereby to effect the downfall of both Bryan and Watson"
