Methods Of Senate And
 House Differ Widely

Washington, March 17.-(Special.)- Everybody is now arising to remark the difference between the way they do things in the Senate and in the House That is, they are contrasting the ways of Uncle Joe'' Cannon and of Senator Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich. Both have insurgents to deal with, but they deal with them in much different fashion.
 When Uncle Joe" finds an insurgent straying from the reservation he pro- ceeds figuratively to take him out into the woodshed and larrup him well with the strap of party discipline.
 Not a crumb of patronage will the wanderer get. If he comes about ask ing for even such meager morsel as the appointment of an elevator man the iron is sunk into his soul and he is re- minded that he has erred and fallen, and that he will have to spend a good long while getting himself expurgated of the sins before there can be for giveness.
 The House way of dealing with an insurrectionist is to chastize him into submission, to haze him, snub him and give him assignments to committees that meet once session, when times are unusually busy in a legislative way.
 That is not the Aldrich fashion. Just now Aldrich is engaged in dealing with an insurrection. Several weeks ago notes of dscord were heard arising from the Senate chamber. Now nothing is heard but peaceful echoes
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-03-18

The reason is that the head of the Senate family" has taken the unruly boys out into the backyard and has talked 1t all over with them, and has been quite successful in calming tn em down. He has assured them that if they'll be good he'll probably do some- thing for them
 He hasn't attempted to lambast them, but has reasoned with them and en- deavored to use persua sion. The ef- fleets already have become noticea- ble.
 It is predicted that when the Senate committee on committees makes it's an- nouncement of how the republican side of the committee has been made up the regulars. They may still profess themselves insurgents. but if expert ence is any indication they will not in surge as vehemently as they have been threatening to.
 Some of the men who have been counted as of their number by the in surgent leaders in the Senate will un- doubtedly be found henceforth at tached to the fortunes of the Senate elder statesmen with a fair degree of loyalty.
 It Is clear that the Aldrich way is not the Cannon way. Time will tell which Is the more efficaclous. Just now, at any rate, there is meekness and mildness among the Senate insur- gents, whereas the House revolters are declaring the rumpus has just begun and that they will fight the thing out if it takes several summers to do it.

Washington, March 17.-(Special.) = Representative Underwood of Alabama, a member of the ways and means com mittee, and regarded as one of the best posted men in Congress on the tariff, made the following statement tonight with reference to the Payne bill:
 There is considerable reduction in some portions of the bill. But the Payne bill is one written manifestly in the interest of New England and the east as against the south and west. The committee ns 5 placed every commodity on the free list, such as iron ore, coal, hides, etc, which

Stoves Must Be Grated

Mobile, March 17.-One of the most i'm portant decisions reached by the southern classification committee since they began their sessions here Monday week ago, and one which will affect the stove man ufacturers all over the country, was given out today. The committee has ordered that after August 1 the southern lines will require that cast iron stoves be crated for shipment. Heretofore they have been accepted loose but the large number of claims for damages resulting therefrom have made it necessary in the opinion of the committee to require that they be crated. This ruling has been made in all the other classification terri tories

Operators March Out.

At o'clock the operators at the Bourse station marched out, severing the last strands, which included the French Ca ble company's New York Brest commun- ication. Simultaneously the failure of the night shift of telegraph operators 10 make their appearance put the final means of quick communication out of commission.
 The situation in the provinces cannot be considered much better. the public service employees in most of the cities following the lead of their Paris com rades. The Inland interurban mails are at a standstil. Some of the larger com mercial and financial firms have sent agents to London, Brussels, Antwerp. Strausburg and other places, where they are receiving messages and conducting operations. The bourses here and at Lyons, Marseilles and other centers are at standstill. owing to the lack of quotations from foreign exchanges.
 Measures Ineffective.
 The foreign office. in the midst of the Balkan crisis, is unable to communicate with its representatives abroad and while the government continues to insist that 1t cannot surrender to it's rebellious serv- ants, it is only too apparent that the measures thus far taken to suppress tho strike movement have been ineffective Threats of suspension and dismissal have only served to bring the employees of the various branches into closer union Re- serve operators who were summoned from the country districts to Paris, re- fuse to perform service, and the mili- tary telegraphers, who were called upon this afternoon. and through whom it was expected to re-establish communication, were almost helpless before the damaged switchboards and instruments which the strikers left behind.
 It was intmated this evening that the goverlment would find a way out of the difficulty by making NJ. Barthou min ister of public works. posts and tele- graphs With anyone except Simyan to deal with, it is believed the strikers would soon come to terms.i The sympathy of the public is not with the strikers, as it is considered that their grievances are trifiing compared with the interests that ar s,iffaring
