CANNON KEEPS OUT.
Takes No Leading Part in Proceedings
of the House.

Washington, March 22.-The house
Republicans will hold their caucus for
the selection of the six Republican
members of the new committees on
rules on Wednesday night The
Democrats also have agreed on
Thursday night for their caucus.
Speaker Cannon is not taking any
leading part in the proceedings of the
house nor is he talking for publica
tion about his attitude. From
source very near the speaker, it was
learned today that he felt the major
ity which had taken control of things
last Saturday was now responsible for
legislative matters, and that it might
be poor taste for him to make sug-
gestions or to attempt to have any
thing to do with the directing of af
fairs.
The one thing of greatest interest
about the capitol today and which is
expected to grow in interest was the
composition of the new rules COM
mitee. The fact most prominent in
the situation seemed to be that
large number of insurgents will in
sist upon knowing in advance of the
caucus action who the Republican
members are to be and upon having
the privilege of placing their 20. X"
upon them.
Representative Hayes of California,
who has presided over all meetings
of the insurgents during the pres
ent session, stated it was q certainty
that a conference of the Insurgents
would be called on this subject be-
tween now and the date of the Re
publican caucus.
II will not stand for men who are
close to Speaker Cannon being named
the Republican members of the new
committee" he said. There are
lot of other insurgents who feel the
same way. We would lose the fruits
of our victory. The country would
laugh at u.s.
Many prominent insurgents, how
ever, like Murdock of Kansas. Norris
of Nebraska, and Lenroot of Wiscon-
sin, have expressed their intention of
entering the caucus without assur-
ances.
The Democrats early today were
considering the advisability of post
poning their caucus until a little later
in the week. Representative Lincoln
Dixon, Indiana, is prominently men
toned as one of the Democratic
members of the rules committee.
May committees of the house re-
sumed their sessions today in the
transaction of business. Representa-
tive Townsend, Michigan. who has
the administration railroad bill in
charge, stated that he expected to re-
port it from committee tomorrow.

MACHINE FELL 80 FEET.
First Airship Flight at Abilene Made
a Failure.

Abilene Kan. March 22.-The air
ship flights have really begun at Abb
lene. The first one ended somewhat
disastrously, as the machine fell thirty
feet to the ground.
Saturday. while making trial flights
on the prairie northeast of St Joseph's
academy, the Glider one of c. w.
Parker's airships. fell to the ground
from a height of thirty feet. The
machine was little injured and the op-
orator unhurt.
The Glider should not properly be
styled an airship, as it has no ma
chinery and does not fly by itself 1t
is necessary to tow the machine from
the ground by rope attached to an
automobile.
Two flights were successfully made,
the machine being towed by hand. On
the third flight 1t was decided to use
an automobile to tow the machine
Things went we'll and a height of 60
feet was attained Then the operator
Mr.. La Comme, started to come down
The auto started down a hill and the
machine was met by a contrary wind
as it passed over the hollow at the
base of the hill. The auto stopped, but
too suddenly, and the machine crashed
to the ground. Little damage was
done, as the Glider was only up 20
feet at the time.
Mr.. Parker says his second airship
will arrive tonight, or possibly this
afternoon.

ways showing their selfishness.
He referred to the selfish man as a
pig and said you cannot make a pig
keep clean, but he will make just as
good bacon anyway, and this bacon is
the most healthful meat in the world.
Need Human Sympathy.
Bishop Quayle said there was no need
for poverty in cities such as Pittsburg,
New York and Chicago, especially to
the extent that the poor people do not
have clothing, fire and food, and said
property and money were not the
greatest need of the world, but human
sympathy.
Here he referred to a young girl who
told him she was engaged, and caused
laughter when he said she had right
to be happy, for she never had a man
before.
The bishop closed by saying the motto
of the world should be. Everybody
for everybody else" and all would get
along better.

DON'T WANT AN OFFICE
Farmers of Smith County Can Make
More Money on the Farm.

Smith Center. Kan, March 22.-The
farmers of Smith county refuse to be
attracted by the glamour of public Of
flee. and the politicians are in a guam
Diary. So far only four farmers, two
Republicans and two Democrats, have
consented to run for county office.
The salary of any county office looks
meager to the average farmer of north
west Kansas. On a farm of $50 acres,
or even eighty acres, he can make
more in one year than he could in two
in any office in the court house.
One of the leading farmers here,
who had been urged to get in the race
for county treasurer, aptly expressed
the situation last Saturday when he
said:
mot any Office for me. can't af
ford it. Anyway. not as long as
Duroc-Jerseys sell for $10.25 a hun
dred, wheat for 81 oushel and corn
for 60 cents, and while my wife makes
enough on her butter and eggs to keep
the family, besides helping swell our
bank account now and then"

AT CAIRO THURSDAY.
Colonel Roosevelt Is Now Travelling by
Express Train.

Luxor Upper Egypt, March 22.-
From AS=uan to Luxor is 136 miles
and Colonel Roosevelt and his family
covered this distance in the regular
express. From Luxor to Cairo is 454
miles, and the express will reach the
Egyptian capital on Thursday. There
a state carriage will be in waiting so
that Colonel Roosevelt may at once
visit the Khedive at the Abdin palace,
the Khedive later returning the call
in person. This will be the first occa-
sion when the ruler has SO honored a
private person.
At Luxor the Americans were greet
ed by great number of fellow citi-
zens, many American tourists having
waited at this place to see the former
president. Colonel Roosevelt held a
reception at the winter palace hotel,
and shook hands with more than a
hundred tourists from the United
States, and as each passed he made
characteristic remarks which served
to recall the old days in the White
house.
Even though the ex-presidents re-
ception everywhere has been genuinely
hearty he will cleave to his own and
there seems to be more than warmth
in his meeting with so many Ameri-
cans.
At the conclusion of the reception
the tourists gave three cheers for
Colonel Roosevelt and then broke
forth with the well known slogan:
whats the matter with Roosevelt :?
He's all right This brought a gem
erous smile on the colonel's face and
he said: CT wish I could give three
cheers for every one from California
to Massachusetts,
In the evening a visit was made to
the temples at Karnak. The ruins of

Philadelphia, March 22.-A1l nego-
tiations are off and the fight will GO
on, was the announcement made today
by the leaders who are conducting the
street car and general sympathetio
strike.
A big meeting of labor leaders was

Hundreds of sympathetic strikers,
wearying of the long struggle and loss
of wages, have returned to work and
each day the leaders find it harder to
hold the strikers together. The allied
building trades strikers, however, still
maintain a solid front and have voted
to remain out until the Garments fight
is ended.
The committee of nine having charge
of the proposed general statewide
strike was expected to meet at Wilkes
barre today to consider the advisability
Of calling the strike at once.
The first big break in the general

The temperature has been above
normal every day this month except
on the 9th inst. and the sky has been
clear every day save the same eXcep-

warmer in the month of March since
the local weather bureau has been
established, than it was last night.
This was on March %, % and "a,
March 1907, Comet year." and in
March, 1895.
Never in the history of the local
weather bureau have there oeen as
many clear days in an entire month
save the exceptions of August %,
1894 in September, 1907, and in Octo-
Der, 1906, as there have been already
this month. On all of these occasions
there have been 21 clear days in the
entire months mentioned.
b During the % days of the present
month the precipitation amounts to
only .O5 inches. This has only been
eoualIed once during the history of
the local weather station. In De-

not have been so pleasant. The areas
