WASHINGTON. Jan I2.-There was a iull to-
Ssy IA the aztf between the regulars and
the insurgents sn the House. A few mo-
merits suf1ced the Republican caucus to-
right to ratify the selections made by the
state delegations Of the members OF the
Republican Congressional Committee and
adjourn. A motion TO adjourn was hastily
made in order that no attempt might be
made hy the insurgents 10 start argu-
rnert over the activities OF the committee.
Practically all the insurgents were present
Their leaders announced afterward that
their attendance at the caucus did not i'm
ply that they intend to be present at the
next one, which viii be called within a
few days by Representative Currier, OF
New Hampshire. for the purpose of electing
members of the Plnchot-Ealnnger investi-
eating committee.
The cenferrees appointed by the two
houses to consider the minor differences
which exist in regard 10 the resolution for
an investigation will meet tomorrow. The
House members, Representatives DaiSeii,
Smith and Fitzgerald, viii insist the
rosndexter amendment. which authorizes
al parties to the investigation to be repre-
sented at the hearings by counsel. 1t is
understood that the House leaders feel that
&c bring the resolution in without the
amendment would be 10 coslrt rejection
s<f THE entire report and would give the in
eurgents and Democrats another chance to
enabsrress the Speaker and the organize
tion. Tor this reason they viii endeayor
70 impress their views the Senate con-
feruees- The Senate members of the

Poindexter amendment.
VIII not attend party caucus 10 nominate
the Beilinger-Pinchot committee. Repre-
seztatives Parsons and Fish are wavering.
Mr.. Parsons wiz attend, but he purposes to
leave the caucus If there are any signs OF
6 packed committee being selected. He
IS opposed TO the plan of the organization
40 have the Republican caucus select the
Democratic members OF the committee.
he insurgents are jubilant at this de-
cisjop, AND they hail his position as an in
dication that he is an our-and-out insur-
gent.
IN the opinion OF many conservative
members. the announcement of Speaker
Cannon that ne will not withdraw means
the loss OF several Republican seats in the
House These men still hoping that
Mr. Cannon Will change his mind and that
after The BsIlinger-Pinchot investigation is
well under way he will prepare statement
announcing that he will not again be
candidate for the Speakership.
PRESIDENT TIRED OF OUARRELs.
Callers at the White House to-day re-
ported President Taft to be growing some
what impatient with the progress thus far
made by Congress in carrying forward the
legislative programme promised in the
party platform and recommended by the
that too much time Is being spent in the
skiru,ishes that thus far have marked the
session. He has let it be known all along
that the manner of appointing the commit
tee to inquire into the BaIlinger- -Pinchot
controversy concerned him little He has
been anxious that the committee should get
20 work at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity, whether fits members be Democrats
insurgents or what not Mr.. Tafts only
request has been that the investigation be
thorough one, going into all phases of
.he long fight and bringing out all the
facts.
The President Is anxious that Congress
should get down 10 the consideration OF
specific measures. Not until 1t does this
can anything be told as 70 where the in
tursepts actually stand with reference 20
the President and the party's legislative
programme. He IS anxious too, that this
Congress shall make a record for pro-
sressire legislation that viii put the party
IN condition for the campaigns of the com
.ng fall With the sending in of his spe-
oial message on conservation on Friday
noon, the President will have completed
practically all Of his formal legislative
recommendations, ana he sees no reason
why Congress should not get down to bust
ness and stop the Guarreling which is de-
