CONGRESS MEETS
 AT WASHINGTON,
Joseph G. Cannon is speaker-0emoA crats Win Victory in Securing a Change of RuIes-Will Prevent
 FaVoritism.

Washington.-After one of the stormiest sessions in it's history, the House of Representatives Monday, re gardless of party alignment, adopted 211 to 172, a resolution by Mir. Fitz- gerald of New York, Democrat, where by the rules were amended in several important particulars. The resolution was a substitute for one offered by MT. Clark of Missouri.
 It's adoption was accomplished only after the Insurgents" with the aid of the Democrats, with one or two exceptions, had won a decided pre- liminary victory by voting down a resolution by MT. Dalzell of Pennsyl- vania, making the unamended rules of the Sixtieth Congress applicable to those of the present Congress.
 The call of the roll on the resolu- tion was followed with intense inter est
 As analysed by parliamentarians. the amendment makes four important changes:
 First, it establishes calendar for unanimous consents. the effect of which is to enable a member to have proposition brought before the house without having to go to the. speaker for recognition.
 Second, when consideration of bill is concluded and the previous ques tion is ordered the rules heretofore have provided for motion to com init with or without instructions. It has been the practice to recognize a melber of the majority party to make this motion and thus prevent the minority from offering such in structions as it 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 oth erwise be settled in committee of the whole house. where a record vote is not possible.
 Third, it protects the calendar Wed nesday by requiring a two-thirds in stead of majority vote to set it aside.
 Fourth, it is also claimed that the VIII IoNC thC CuCNt Ol preventing favoritism by the action of the committee on rules in special cases.
 A prominent feature of the Clark resolution was an amendment provid- ing for committee of 15 members to revise, amend and codify the rules and much of the opposition to it was nf ni Tna AE tod 4h Fitzgerald amendment makes no change in the present method of a se- lection of the committee on rules, which is made by the speaker nor is there any change in the method of selecting committees.
 Speaker Cannon is inclined to re- gard the amendment as a slight i'm provement on the party rules, in that, instead of throwing the responsibility for recognition on him it sets aside certain days for the consideration of measures and unanimous consent, but he says, under the new rules, mem bers will have to wait for those days
 With plenty of votes to spare, Jo- seph G. Cannon of Illinois was re- elected speaker, receiving 204 votes. as against 166 for Champ Clark Of Missouri, eight for Cooper of Wiscon- sin, two for Morris of Nebraska and one 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 defection from Cannon

THAT'S ALL
ESTRADA'S PEACE TERMS
COULDN'T BE ACCEPTED
BY MADRIZ
(Ry United Press J

MANAGUA, Dec. 30.-General Es-
trada today sent an ultimatum to
President Madriz, according to cur
rent rumor, agreeing to suspend
hostilities and bandon his march
against Manasua, upon either OF
two conditions.
Estrada demands that MadriZ
consent to the selection of the presi.
dent by the revolutionists or call a
general election TO choose the chief
executive. Should the latter alter
native be accepted, the revolutions
lists would retain their arms during
the election.
1t is not considered possible here
that MadriZ will accept either prop
osition. 1t is certain ii the insur-
gents should select president that
mantle would not fall upon Madriz
and it appears to be equally Ger.
tain that if they retained their
arms they would control the cleo,
ton. Madriz has appointed three
commissioners with the revolution

peace.

The switchmen's strike, which

Locally one man has been killed
and one seriously injured. Reports
today from Minneapolis say that in

in the switch yards along the diff

These fatalities have been for
the most part among inexperienced
switchmen, working as strike
breakers. Accidental deaths, ac
cording to the report, have aver
aged one each day since the begin

A panic followed the explosion.
The pickpockets' plan was entire

men stationed at the doors, while
leaders stood back of the house
and lighted fuses attached to a

they had concealed under feet. Men,

occurred. Someone cried fire
and the exits were soon blocked
