This is one reason that the speaker

Cannon still Speaker.

The sensational climax at the close
of today's turbulent session, when the
official life of Speaker Cannon was at
stake, proves according to the in
surgents, that what they sought was
the power, and not the blood OF the
czar Half an hour after they voted
to deprive MIN of his power, they vot-
ed again not to depose him from the
speakership.
Burleson, Texas, tall and fiery, and
a democrat, fought off his colleagues,
in his party, who would deter him and
pressed a motion that the chair OF
the speaker be hereby declared va
cant"
Come on, let the majority rule," +"
shouted the defiant speaker.
They came on, and the vote was 19l
to 155 in favor of the speakers retain
ing his seat with the dimished glory
imposed by the Norris resolution.

DeathIy Silent at Times.

Members and spectators were
strained almost to breaking by the
excitement attending important stages
of the contest, and the demonStra-
tions were probably the most strenu-
Gus ever made in congress. Stiffness
so complete as to be oppressive fell
on the chamber each time the clerk
turneS to hand to the speaker a slip
of paper giving the fateful result OF a
roll call. All of these favored the
allies, the aggressives in the fight and
the announcement of each successive
victory brought them to their feet.
Norris assumed the leadership of the
allies in the final stages of the tattle
and filed the part without losing a
point.
Several roll calls were necessary to
create the new committee on rules.
He had offered a substitute to his orig
inal resolution and the former was the
subject under consideration. When
the debate on the substitute had run
for an hour, Norris, to stop the flow

A roll call vas demanded and was
carried by vote of IT'S to 159. 1t was
an indication to the allies that their
ranks were unbroken, and they
cheered ustily.
The next vote was on the question
of replacing the original resolution
with the substitute. 1t went through
bv a vote of 1873 to 1853 Then came
the final test and interest was at the
highest pitch because of reports that
the regulars had i'll reserve strength
that was to be used at the decisive
moment. AS the call proceeded and
the insurgents and democrats stood
solidly on the line, it soon vecame evi-
dent that the great contest that has
interested the entire country had been
won. The result was 1871 to 155 for
the final adoption of the resolution
and the announcement was received
with the greatest demonstration of the

sHRINKAGE IN LIVE STOCK.
Receipts at Principal Markets show
Heavy Decline.

Washington. Aug. 5.-Considerable
shrinkage in the commercial supply of
some of the prime necessaries of life is
indicated by the movements of live
stock and meat products in the United
States during the first half of the
present year. This decline was shown
both in domestic and in foreign com
merce.
According to figures prepared by the
bureau of statistics the shortage in the
commercial supply of live stock Is best
shown by comparison of the half
yearly figures, which totaled 16463, 756
head for the first six months of 1910,
as compared with more than 10000, 900
in the same period last year and nearly
q. 100000 for the corresponding period
of 1905
This loss is due almost entirely, it is
reported. to the smaller number of
hogs brought to market the shortage
thus far this year being about 25 per
cent The curtailment in the COM
merciaI supply of cattle has been 6Fper
cent less than normal. while the re-
ceipts of sheep at the seven leading
markets show a decline of IL per cent
The decline in the supply of sheep be-
gan after 1906, that of cattle after 1907,
and that of hogs after 1905
Instances OF the heavy losses in ex-
port trade are shown by the fact that.
while more than 200, 00O. 600 pounds of
fresh beef were sent out of the country
in the fiscal year 1908, only $4,000. 600
pounds were sent during the fiscal
year Just closed: that the shipments Of
bacon dropped from 241. 100000 pounds
in 1908 to 152, 000, 600 pounds this year .
of hams and shoulders from 221,000. 600
pounds in 1908. to 146. 000. 600 pounds in
1910. and of lard from more than $780,
O00, 600 pounds in 1908 to 1000, 600
pounds in 1910.
The stock of meat held in five prin-
cipal stock yards centers at the end of
June last is 36 per cent less than the
FIVE year average for the same date.

GOV. PATTERSON HIT.
Tennessee Independents Win Election
in Which Cooper Case Is Issue

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 5.-Inde-
pendent judicial candidates supported
by Republicans and those Democrats
who are opposed to Gov. Malcolm r.
Patterson won complete victory,
carrying the state by probably 10000
votes or more.
The successful tickets:
Judges of the supreme court:
Eastern division-John K. Shields.
Middle division-D. L. Lansden,
Matt NJ. Neil.
State at large-W. D. Board. Graf
ton Green.
Judges of the court of civil appeals:
Eastern division-H. Y. Hughes.
Middle division-Joseph c. Higgins,
S. F. Wilson.
State at large-F'rank P. Hall, John
NJ. Taylor.
The Independents represent in a
large measure the statewide prohibit
ton element of the Democratic party,
which has been vigorously opposing
Governor Patterson since his memoir
able campaign against the late for
mer Senator E. w. Carmack for the
gubernatorial nomination.
Governor Patterson's enemies lined
up solidly with the Independents. The
Cooper case, charges of attempted CO.
ercion of the supreme court by the
governor in it's decision of the famous
trial and his pardon of Colonel Cooper
played a leading part in the campaign
and served almost to make it a fight
for and against Patterson.
Governor Patterson is candidate
for reelection this fall.
