PEACE DOVE
 FLIES BACK Astounding P|acid|ty Of House
 of Representatives SATISFACTION EVERYWHERE
Except Among Those Insur- gents Who Were "Cussed Out" By MT. Cannon Last Saturday Night For Re taining Him


 passed the first days business follow ing the great eruption of last week with remarkable quietude. ana tonight. when adjournment came. there was an air of calmness and amity that. to the observers of recent events. was almost unbelievable
 Peace appeared near, notwithstand- ing that less than ten days distant is the selection Of the new rules com mittee, with all it's embarrassing com plications. Many elements contributed to today's calm. The democrats. satls- fled with the situation as it left them after four days Of fierce strife, were content to let matters drift awhile. The regulars, realizing from the violent Outbursts of the press and from various insurgents, over the Saturday night speech of Mir. Cannon, when ne called them ''cOwardly members" that party harmony was to be gained only by a most diplomatic tender of the olive branch. and that they must be most adroit in their relations with their in- surgent brethren.
 Those insurgents who voted to oust MT. Cannon from the speakership were eminently satisfied today and like the democrats they let things drift
 The score or so of insurgents who voted for the retention of the speaker, only to be rewarded by blast from the speaker, supplied the only discord- ant note. They reached the capitol in a decidedly hostile frame of mind. Sev- eral. ikeRepresentatives Norris of Ne braska, Madison of Kansas. Hayes of California. and two or three others, gave their views fully to the press, sparing no words in voicing their in dignation at the situation Two or three of them talked loudly of con tinued warfare-further fight under the rules of the house. upon Cannon. and on the regulars section of the new rules committee. But notwith- standing their loud cries for renewed rebellion, they were met on all sides by the smiles and concliatory words of the regulars.
 Not of least influence in producing the general air of forgiveness was the word that came indirectly from the room of MT. Cannon Ia the effect that the speaker had moderated his atti- tude toward the men he had denounced on Saturday night. and that it was al most a certainty that the speaker had been misquoted in his remarks or something of that kind
 one of the strongest evidences of the days tendency toward peace was the nomination of Majority Leader Payne for q place on the new rules commit tee by MT. Norris, the leader Of the insurgents and the author of the reso- ntion that precipitated the recent war. Mr Norris said that as Minority Lead CT Clark was to he a member of the committee, he believed that Mir. Payne should also be on the committee
 Ha.f the house appeared to find something humorous in the situation. and the bitterness of the rancor of the last few days appeared gradually to dissipate.
 The republican caucus for the selec- tion of the new rules committee, it was announced, was not be held until Sat urday night.
 Nearly all the insurgents. both those who voted for and against the speaker on Saturday have announced that they intend to enter the caucus. Hayes and one or two others early declared that they would not in any circum- stances. enter the caucus unless they had assurances who the members of the committee would be. and that they would be satisfactory to the insur- gents.
 Many of the regular republicans volunteered the opinion that the in surgents will be represented in the rules committee. A few, but only a few have asserted that they should not have representation. The leaders of the insurgents said they would hold no meeting before the caucus
 The democrats, through Minority Leader Clark, the acting caucus chair man. have called a caucus for Wednes- day night Three Of the selections are sure to be Clark of Missouri. Fitz- gerald of New York. and Underwood of Alabama. Nothing but unanimity of sentiment is expected at the dem ! ocratic meeting.
 Some of the committees began work d gain today and by tomorrow it is ex- pected that the grind of legislation including the measures of President Taft. will again be in full swing.
