 1 Concerning the conference or Inc re- ! publican regulars and insurgents. Mir. ! Clark said: They may agree on something that the democrats also stand for. but I don't believe it. If l they get together on something we don't believe in. we will fight fl. you may depend upon that"
 Upon MT. Clark had fallen the great burden of the battle of the last two days on the democratic side and he showed the effects of the long strain When the motion to adjourn was put and carried he arose slowly and made his way wearily out of the chamber. apparently glad the respite had come MT Underwood was more specific as to what attitude the democrats would be expected to take when the house convcnes tomorrow. If tho regulars and insurgents come together upon q basis that does not provide for the election of new committee on rules. and the elimination of the speaker the democrats will oppose it to a man. he said.
 THE REGULARS UNCERTAIN.
 What the outcome will be when the house convenes tomorrow none venture to predict. The republican leaders are sparing no effort to get every regular republican absentee on the ground for the final test. if it comes Although practically all those impaired have arrived. it is apparent that the leaders are not sure of their strength, or the issue would have come to a vote today.
 The insurgents confidently claim that when the final vote is taken on the Norris resolution. their total vote will be g, which, combined with the full democratic vote. will be more than a safe majority. The democratic leaders so far have held their forces strictly in hand and on every vote boiled their full strength.
 THIS MORNINGS CONFERENCE.
 Tomorrow at 9 o'clock the regulars and insurgent leaders will discuss possible compromise. Both sides ad- mitted tonight that no tangible basis had been suggested. They said that only vague generalities had been dis cussed at the conference today. and that nothing had been preached on either side giving promise of a ground on which they might get together.
 It was said today that the attitude of Mir Cannon himself was the great est stumbling block in the way of compromise The speaker declines to be eliminated from the rules com mittee.
 Mir. Cannon looked fresh as rose. considering the tax on his strength during the all- night vigil. From noon yesterday until o'clock this after noon he sat almost continuously in his chair or stood near. the rostrum.
 Mir Mann. chairman of the com mittee on interstate commerce. and a close friend and supporter of Mir. Can non. voted against his fellow regulars on the postponement proposition. be cause" said he the speaker Has prepared to rule, I was prepared to have him rule and l was ready to support the ruling"
 'I have a great deal of doubt" he said. about the desirability of taking a recess to effect something that does not seem likely to be effected. I am not willing to agree to any proposi- ton that has been suggested by any of the insurgents. and if they want to take the responsibility for disrupt ing the organization they have that right: have no criticism to make. If they win. they will have the re- sponsibility of legislation, and I will have the fun of being in the minor ity.'
 ''I still hope that satisfactory so- lution of the whole matter will be reached" Representative Olmstead said tonight "I certainly hope there will be harmonious outcome" Mir. Olm stead. one of the speakers lieutenants. has been mentioned conspicuously in gossip as the next speaker.
