CANNON ELECTED SPEAKER.
After Stormy Session House of Repre-
sentatives Rules Were Changed.

Washington, d. CATER one of
the stormiest sessions in its history,
the house of representatives, regard
less Of party alignment, adopted, Eli
to 172, a resolution by Mr.. Fitzgerald,
democrat, Of New York, whereby the
rules We're amended in several impor-
tant particulars. The resolution was
a substitute for one offered-by Mr..
Clark Of Missouri Its adoption was
accomplished only after the ''insur-
gents with the aid Of democrats,
with one or two exceptions, had won
a decided preliminary victory by vot-
ing down a resolution by Mr.. Dali
zell Of Pennsylvania, making the I'M
amended rules of the sixtieth con
gress applicable to those of the pres
ent congress.
AS analysed by parliamentarians,
the amendment makes three import
ant changes. First, it establishes q
calendar for unanimous consents"
the effect of which is to enable
member to have proposition brought
before the house without having to
go to the speaker for recognition.
Second, when consideration Of a
bill is concluded, and the previous
question is ordered, the rules here
tofore have provided for motion 70
commit with or without instructions.
It has been the practice to recognize
a member of the majority to make
this motion, and thus prevent the
minority from offering such inStruc-
lions as ii may desire The new
rule gives the minority the prefer
ence in making such a motion. and
thus enables them to get a record
vote on propositions which would
otherwise be settled in committee Of
the whole house, where no record
vote is possible. Third, it protects
the calendar by requiring a
two-thirds instead Of a majority
vote to set it aside. Fourth, it is
also claimed that the amendment VIII
have the effect of preventing favor
itism by the action Of the committee
on rules in special cases.
The election Of house officers pre-
ceded the action of the rules.
With plenty of votes to spare, Jo-
seph G.. Cannon Of Illinois was re-
elected speaker, receiving 203 votes,
as against 1876 for Champ Clark of
Missouri, for Cooper of Wisconsin,
2 for Norris Of Nebraska and / each
for Esch of Wisconsin and W. p.
Hepburn of Iowa, an ex-member. All
the democratic members voted for
Clark, so that the scattering vote
represented the republican detection
from Cannon.

WAIST LINE OF new GOWN
Only 6 inches Above the Knee, Decree
of Fashion Makers,

New York City.-There were only
two really new things shown at the
first session Of the Dressmakers' Pro-
tective Association. One was the
style clerical" a summer costume
made to look as much like the French
priests robe as possible, with 500
buttons on it. The other novelty was
the "Moyen age" gown, which was
first heard from at western dress
makers convention short time ago.
Several specimens Of this, which is
to be the really proper thing this
summer were shown. The exhibitors
explained that the waist line in this
model is six inches above the knee,
requiring corsets five inches longer
than last year. Features Of the "Moy-
en- age" which is said to follow the
costume lines worn by fashionable
women of the twelfth French cen
turies,7 are separate hanging "pock-
ct for pennies" suspended at one side
and a gigantic buckle of red and gold
worn at the breast.
The associations president told her
auditors that the faYorite color for
street wear next season is called "tea
green" That there is new mustard
shade known as khaki color" in the
pastel shades; the favorites will be
peach blossom" 'cloud blue" and
CLOUD gray" Raw silks and a new
diagonal silk crepe are to be the pre-
ferred materials.

PREPARING TO WELCOME ROOSEVELT.
Mombasa, East Africa, Plans For His
Entertainment.

Mombasa, British East Africa
Mombasa is preparing already to well
come Theodore Roosevelt when he
lands here the latter part of next
month on his much-heralded African
trip, and the coming of the former
president of the United States has
given decided impetus to the inter-
est in the present hunting season. The
governor of the protectorate, Lieut.
Col. Sir James Sadler, is getting up
program of wit and entertainment
for the distinguished viistor, but, in
greeting to Mr.. Roosevelt will be
more to the great sportsman whose
fame is well known to local hunters
than to the former president.
The prospects for good hunting this
season are considered excellent. Many
of the settlers in the outlying dis,
tricts, realizing the increasing inter-
est in the prospects for good sport
because of the coming of Mr.. Roose-
welt, are voluntarily sending in in
formation about the movements Of
game. According to a dispatch re-
cetved here record group of lions,
numbering thirty-two, has been seen
on the Nandi plateau at point about
fifty miles north of Port Florence.
(The Nandi plateau is on the west
side of the great Rift valley.) Among
them were three huge males.
Four families of giraffes have been
seen at Makindu, 200 miles inland
from here on the Uganda Railroad
and elephants have been seen at Ell
burgon, AIS miles inland on the rail-
road and along the Sabki river
East African spOrtsmen were high
ly gratified TO learn that Mr.. Roose-
welt had refused the offer of the au-
thorities to grant him a special hunt
ing license that would have permit
ted him to kill game to an unlimited
extent, instead of combining himself
to the two elephants, two rhinoceri,
two hippopotami, ETC., Of the regular
license. Lions and leopards are
classed as vermin and correctly no
license to kill them is required The
white population of Mombasa has
heard much of Mr.. Roosevelt's per-
sonality and in joking way fire.
quent references to the "big. stick"
are being made.
Everything points to successful
stay in British East Africa and Ugan-
da for Mr.. Roosevelt; the natives are
peaceful; game is plentiful and the
people of Mombasa are waiting eager

TAFT KISSED SIGNIFICANT PASSAGE
Peculiar Coincidence in Connection
With Ceremony Of Kissing Bible.

peculiar COINCIDENCE IN connection
With Ceremony of Kissing Bible.
Washington, d. C.-Through James
H. Mckinney, the veteran clerk Of
the supreme court of the United
States, has just came to light the
fact that President Taft's lips fell
upon very significant passage in
the Bible when, after taking the oath
of office, he kissed the sacred vol
ume. Mr.. McKenney held for the
chief justice the book used in con-
nection with the administering of the
oath. He presented it to Mr.. Taft
and after the latter had sworn 10
bear truth, faith and allegiance, he
reverently leaned over and touched
his lips to the open face of the book.
They fell upon the third chapter Of
l Kings, at The point, beginning,
Give, therefore, Thy servant an I'M
derstanding heart to judge Thy peo-
pie, that l may discern between good
and bad; for who is able to judge
this Thy great people?"
This was the prayer of Solomon at
the beginning Of his reign, and the
passage closes with the statement
that the prayer was answered be,
cause Of it's unselfish character.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
President Taft Asks Congress to
Adjust Tariff Schedules.
QUICK REVISION is URGED
Wants Party Platform Pledge Redeemed.
Message Remarkable For
Its Brevity.

Washington, D. C.-The following
message on the tariff, which is re-
markable for its brevity and much
shorter than had been anticipated,
was sent to congress by President
Taft:
ITO the senate and house of repre-
sentatives: I have convened the con-
gress in this extra session in order
TO enable it to give immediate consid-
GRAFTON to the revision of the Dingley
tariff act. Conditions affecting pro-
duction manufacture and business
generally, shave so changed in the
last twelve years as to require a re-
adjustment and revision of the i'm
port duties imposed by that act. More
than this the present tariff act, with
the other sources of government rev.
enue, does not furnish income enough
to pay the authorized expenditures.
BY July 1, next, the excess of ex-
penses over receipts for the current
fiscal year will equal $100,0 100000.
''The successful party in the late
election is pledged to revision Of
the tariff. The country and the bust
ness community especially expect it.
liz pIOSpOCL VI OAdO5OO Ill InO
rates of import duties always causes
a suspension or halt in business, be-
cause of the uncertainty as TO the
change to be made and their effect
1t is, therefore, of the highest impor-
tance that the new bill should be
agreed upon and passed with as
much speed as possible consistent
with it's due and thorough considera-
ton. For these reasons | have deem
ed the present to be an extraordinary
occasion within the meaning Of the
constitution, justifying and requiring
the call of an extra session. In my
inaugural address l stated, in a sum-
mary way, the principles upon which,
in my judgment, the revision of the
tariff should proceed and indicated
at least one new source of revenue
that might be properly resorted to in
order to avoid a future deficit. 1t is
not necessary for me to repeat what
/ then said.
Il venture to suggest that the vital
business interests, Of the country re-
quire that the attention of the con
gress in this session be chiefly devot-
ed to the consideration of the new
tariff bill, and that the less time Civ
en- to other subjects of legislation in
this session, the better for the coun-
trv.

REBELLION IN CUBA.
Mutiny of Troops Result of Wide
spread Conspiracy.

Havana, Cuba.-The first armed up
rising against the new Cuban republic
occurred within a little more than
six weeks after the Inauguration of
General Gomez as president. How
series the movement is, it is impos-
sible to determine, all that is known
being that sergeant of the rural
guards with seven other members of
the rural guards took to the woods
and that the troops are in pursuit.
While the movement apparently is
unimportant numerically, all indica-
lions point to the fact that it is part
of "a widespread conspiracy.

TEDDY BEAR and BILLY 'POSSUM
Are in Conflict in Wisconsin Over the
Change in Town Name.


Madison, Wis.-Teddy Bear and
Billy Possum are at war in Taylor
county and at present Billy has Ted
dy on his back and squealing for
mercy. The trouble is all because
about two-thirds of the town Of
Roosevelt have withdrawn their allie
glance from the ex-president and
want to divide the town and call part
of it Taft.
Taylor county began it's custom of
naming towns for presidents in 1890
At that tima it named one Grover and
another Cleveland. Four years, later,
when the democrats were ousted from
the white house, Taylor county Gre
ated a new town and named it Nc
Kinley; four years ago it created an
other new town and named it Roose-
welt. II is this last town that the
Taft settlers insist on having divided.
