Postomce Building Assured

Since that time the Federal government has purchased a site on Avenue G and Nine teenth street. Advices from Washington reveal the fact that the government has 50 new federal buildings in view and that Ensley would come in at the proper time, which, it is stated. will be in about six months. In the meantime inquiries are being made by the several depart ments at Washington concerning lights. The answers were promptly filed.

Dr. Field was indignant, declared such treatment scandalous and that it would justify secession from the city government Louis Smith, president of the Smith Hardware company, sald such disregard for the rights of the citi- zens of Ensley was without precedent and unnecessary. He was bitter against the authorities for selecting the busiest part of the day for their street cleaning operations. J. A. Dupuy, J. Moog, J. w.

TITANIC STRUGGLE IN HOUSE RESTLTS IN THE
 DOWNFALL OF CANNON
CONTINUED FROM PAGE n


 Senator Cuiiom wants 1t to 80 to another committee. The vote will test the strength and temper of the Senate, and in view of the victory of the insurgents in the House an upheaval in the Senate nay follow.
 Speaker Cannon's term expires next March, but since the cessation of hostil- ities rumors have circulated that the Danville statesman will resign at once. This gives rise to the interesting specula- tion as to who will succeed him. With 1 the Norris sub-resolution Tn force, the speaker will not possess sufficient powers to make the office attractive, yet 1t would 1 be an honor and an elevation. A ridicu- lous report was started that the regulars out of pique, would attempt to elevate Champ Clark, leader of the minority, but Clark could not command the insurgent votes because they refuse to vote for any hut republican. Representative Norris was mentioned most conspicuously to- night.
 After the failure of the insurgent and regular conferees this morning in their attempt to effect a compromise, 1t was apparent that Cannon was doomed, but the sturdy gladiator fought on to his po- litical doom with the spirit of Spartan and as he announced the adverse votes upon the various questions before the 1 House this afternoon, he belligerent1y bawled out the figures standing as de- termined as a Roman gladiator when the thumbs are turned down in the ann phitheatre about him.
 Fight of Regulars | The brilliant victory of the insurgents | today only emphasized the more the splendid fight put up by the Cannonites. It was like the onrush of two vast armies, while Representative Martin of T-1r@ A.-fA L., ntxx 4@ nt1 on the turbulent waters and the dem ocrats sat stolidly by voting with. the | insurgents, cheering with them and l grooming in derision at the outbursts from the old guard
 The insurgents took advantage of the absence of President Taft but even if the executive had been in Washington l have serious doubt whether he would have interfered. The fact remains that he has not interfered up to date. Pres ident Taft realizes that it is not his | ight-that the House is working out its own salvation.
 Through the long afternon while the regulars slowly retreated in 2 sort of Fabian policy before the attacks of the combined army there was faint hope that presidential aid might come. Delay was the great object. No sooner had Speaker Cannon entered the rostrum, greeted by the mingled cheers of the regulars and galleries, than MT. Gaines of West Virginia moved that the House l take a recess.
 "No no, no!'' screamed the democrats. And a roar of noise in a similar spirit from the insurgent ranks told of their displeasure at such a programme. l Bang of the Gavel | Bang, bang, bang, came the staccato raps from,the gavel of the speaker. Half dozen men were on the floor at once trying to attract the attention of the chair. The quietude of the blind chap lain's prayer had given away to the blind confusion of bedlarn.

writing on the wall, prepared for a final
 play. He was ready to make his ruling on Mr Dalzell's point of order against
 the original Norris resolution. This was
 looked, upon as the continuation of the
 fight. The warfare heretofore had been skirmishing compared with the battle
 which was to be waged over Speaker Cannon's ruling.
 In clear, unshaken voice, Speaker Cannon began reading his opinion. It was ccuched in legal terms, but the lnsur- gents, many of whom are lawyers, ana learned in the rules of parliamentary practice listened with rapt attention. When the clause was reached in whicn
 the Norris resolution was overruled, d noisy demonstration broke loose. Regu-
 lars cheered and clapped their hands.
 while the insurgents groaned and hooted and added generally to the din. The dem-
 ocrats, stolid and determined, sat silently | listening.
