CONGRESS MEETS
 AT WASHINGTON
Joseph G. Cannon is speaker-Demo- crats Win a Victory in Securing a Change of Rules-WilI Prevent
 Favoritism.

Washington.-After one of the stormiest sessions in it's history, the House of Representative Monday, re gardless of party alignment, adopted 211 to 172, 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.
 Its 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- ton 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 member to have a 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 ques- tion is ordered, the rules heretofore have provided for a motion to com init with or without instructions. It has been the practice to recognize a me.lber 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 We'd nesday by requiring two-thirds in- stead of majority vote to set it aside.
 Fourth, it is also claimed that the amendment will have the effect of 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 a committee of 15 members to ,11o and much of the opposition to it was because of this fact. As adopted, the 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 Tn the method of selecting committees
 Speaker Cannon is inclined to re- gard the amendment as a slight inn 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

His Humorous Error.

During one of the banquets of the Church Congress in London, a cer- tain bishop had as his left-hand com panion a clergyman who was com pletely bald. During dessert the bald headed vicar dropped his napkin and stopped to pick it up. At this moment the bishop, who was talking to his right-hand neighbor, felt slight touch on his left arm. He turned. and, be- holding the vicar's pate or level with his elbow, said, No, thank you, no melon. I will take some pineap- plei"

 The people have worked tremen- dously. They have labored night and day to recover from the blow. And able assistance has been given from outside sources, but the work has been largely that of the tenn porary relief of the destitute, the care of the injured and the search for and burial of the dead. Few of the sufferers have better than tents, can i. vass covered sections of their homes Aspared by the tornado, to live in. . Tarpaulins and tents are an urgent Necessity in Brinkley.

What He Lacked.

It Is related of a South American general, who was extremely well pleased with himself, that once, when about to sally forth to grand dance, he surveyed himself contentedly in the mirror, and then soliloquized thus:
 "Ah, Thou hast all-bravery, wealth, position, good looks. An, what dost thou lack?"
 Whereupon his orderly, who, un- known to the general, was close at hand, remarked:

German materials. Under the free ship
policy the German merchantile tonnage
increased only from 1,098, 900 in 1873 to
,24S, 600 in 1881. Under protection the
tonnage Of the Empire rose to 1850, 900
in 1900, and to 4, 232, 600 in 1908. While
thirty years ago Germany was forced to
buy even her battleships in England, she
has now developed several of the great
est shipyards in the world. The expert
ence of France was similar. Sweden,
Austria, Russia and Italy are granting
bounties or subsidies, or both, to build up
their shipping interests, with good re-
suits. But" says Mr.. Marvin, ''per-
haps the most striking recent example
Of the success of State aid in the creation
of an ocean shipping is the experience of
Japan. There, too, the first reliance
was placed on free ship policy, and
there, as elsewhere, while depended on
alone, this ANONYMOUSLY failed. In the
war with China in 1894, Japan found her
self with only about 100000 tons of
ocean vessels, and almost no facilities
for repairing, not to say building, them.
The Japanese statesmen thereupon
launched out upon the most generous
and comprehensive system of subsidy
and bounty, encouraging both tramp
ships and regular lines and developing
native shipyards by the expedient of
granting bonus for every ton of ocean
shipping constructed. In ten years the
japanese merchant marine had grown
from the 100000 tons of 1894 to $1,000
tons. The total for 1908 is 1,243, 900
tons' and the japanese payments for sub
sldy and bounty, exclusively to Japanese
ships, are not far from Sc, 900, 900 year.
This country has the shipyards, the
skilled workmen and the material to
build the largest battleships, the ocean
liners or the smaller coasting craft. ITO
throw away these mighty shipyards, J"
says Mr.. Marvin, "when our steel bat
tle-line has been built, because European
shipyards, with their double benefit of
subsidy and cheap wages, can do certain
work more cheaply, would be an act of
unconscionable folly. The development
of our American merchant marine and the
development of American shipbuilding
must proceed together; for history con-
tains no record of any maritime nation
permanently great which bought or
borrowed it's ships from rival.

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

the result, and unless the inflammation can be

The foreclosure sale in Boston, October
9Th, Of the property of the Metropolitan
Steamship company is believed to have
placed C. w. Morse again in control, and
to be merely step in the direction of a
consolidation with the Merchant 'sSteam-
ship company, owned by the New Haven
railroad 1t is furthermore believed in
steamship circles that the passing of con-
troll of the Metropolitan line will be fol-
lowed by the absorption of the Eastern
Steamship company, and if this proves
to be the case the New Haven railroad
interests would then have in its grasp the
entire coastwise trade on the north At
lantic coast of the United States. What
effect this might have upon the Eastern
Steamship company and its patrons is of
course predetermined; but this company
has Just emerged from one disastrous
merger and has since demonstrated it's
ability to stand alone and conduct a sue
cessful business, and it would seem to be
good business judgment to let well
enough alone.
