INSURGENTS IN SADDLE
Efforts 10 Break The Power Of Cannonism Seem
Nearing a Successful Conclusion.
CHerald Specially

Washington, d. c., March 1S.-The
war in the house is still on, and after
an eighteen hours session there is no
sign of abatement of the hostilities.
Every movement Of the regulars has
so far been successfully blocked by
the insurgents. Steps were taken to
arrest members who slipped away
from the session, and thus force them
to return to their seats Nicholas
Longworth, son-in-law of ex-President
Roosevelt, was the first member ar
rested, and warrants are out for two
hundred other members of the house.
Speaker Cannon is being roundly cen
sured for giving the warrants to Ser
geant-at-Arms Cason, republican, when
ordered to give them to Sinnot, the
democratic assistant-at-arms, and it
is charged the speaker Is using his
power to conduct personal filibus-
ter in an attempt to escape defeat at
the hands of the house. A quorum
was present at 1920 this morning, and
the insurgents claim majority OF
seven even with the full strength OF
the regulars present Speaking of the
situation, Representative Norris de
clared that the last bit of patience OF
the house would be exhausted, and
that when the patience is gone look
out for anarchy. If the speaker re
fuses to rule for several days force
will be used to depose him and put q
new speaker in the chair.

Regulars Want Compromise.

Washington, d. c., March 1S.-The
regulars are now trying to effect a
compromise with the insurgents, but
the latter still retain the upper hand
and refuse to hear the overtures. Sen
ator Bailey, in conference with the
leaders OF the insurgents against Can
non, said: They are fiddling around
trying to effect compromise; don't
think much of it. Why not get back
to business?" The allies have turned
down all propositions to compromise
proposed by the regulars. The first
proposition made was that the COM
mittee consist OF ten members with
no prohibition against the speaker be-
ing a member Of the committee. The
second, that the committee consist Of

fifteen, with no provision against the
speaker not being a member. The
third, to accept the Norris resolution
without provision against the speaker
being a member The speaker is in
favor of giving the insurgents their
way.
At LAS this afternoon a motion that
recess be taken until a p. m. was
carried by vote of one hundred and

Cannon voted aye.

Taft Is Taking Notice.
(Herald Specially

Cleveland, Ohio, March 1S-Presi-
dent Taft, on his way to New York
state, devoured all accounts sent him
of the Washington congressional
fight. 1t is expected that he will give
an idea of where he stands in the
speeches he is to make today The
president received scraps OF informa-
ton about the fight all during the
night along the route of travel, but
got his first full information here this
morning. He is to make five speeches
today, and he may take steps to read
the insurgents out of the republican
party. 1t is more likely, however, that
the president will come with peace
pact and try and reunite the factions.

Washington, d. c., March IS. 11:45
a. m.-The democratic members of
the house are stationed near the door
Of the house, singing hymns and pop
ular songs. Representative Shackel-

contemptuously abdicated the chair.
The house is in a state of anarchy.
Shackelford called on the speaker to
do his duty and stop the everlasting

make any arrests last night, as the
speaker did not desire such arrests.
A sharp wrangle took place between
Shackelford and Representative

River and Harbor Bill.

In record time and spending money
at the rate of $7,00O,000 an hour,
the House of Representatives in
about three hours passed the Rivers
and Harbors Bill, making appropria-
tons amounting to $21,894,861 for,
river and harbor work during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1912. No
vote was taken, the bill being passed.
by unanimous consent with the ext
ception Of q slight typographical
error in the printed bill. not word
was changed from the form in which
it was presented by the River and
Harbors Committee.
In addition to the amount carried
in the bill, the Sundry Civil Bill will
include $7,368,077 for river and har-
Dor improvement in 1912, bringing
the total up to $29,262,93S. The
average annual expenditure for riv-
ers and harbors for the 10 years since
1899 is approximately $22,500, 900.

The rapidity Of development In this
age is such as to cause many to lose
sight Of the fact that some Of our
chief Industries are Of comparatively
modern origin. Cotton spinning has
come to be one of the foremost of
manufactures in this and other coun-
tries, says the Milwaukee Evening
Wisconsin. But in the present form
it has been in existence less than
hundred years, the first cotton-spin-
ming mill in the United States having
been started in 1911 at FAN River,
Mass. That city is preparing to OBJ
serve the centenary of the business,
and next year will have an imposing
celebration. It may be Of interest to
know that when cotton manufacturing
was started there Fall River was
known as Troy, name which was re-
tanned until 1884. Cotton goods of
various kinds are made in Troy, N.
T.. and vicinity. and the anniversary
OF the origin Of cotton spinning win
enlist attention.

Secretary Of Treasury Advocates
Business Methods.
THE KEYNOTE IS REIRENcHMEAI.
Congress Is Asked For An Appro-
priation OF $714,414,S61 TO Cover
All Disbursements OF the Govern
ment - Ordinary Receipts Esti-
mated At $3.50. ooo, 600 Says Our
Monetary System Is Panic-Breed-
ing Customs Frauds.

Washington, d. G. Especial 60
Economy that beats all records is the
keynote of the annual report of Sec
rotary Franklin MacVeagh, of the
Treasury Department, which was sent
to Congress Thursday.
Other features are currency re-
form, extension of the scope of the
national banking laws, in the event
of no immediate general change of
the monetary system; civil service re-
tirement, customs service free from
practical" politics, business-like
methods in the daily transactions of
the government and general aboli-
ton of red tape wherever it clogs the
wheels Of the government business.
The estimated ordinary expendi-
lures for next year amount to $780,
494,013. Including Panama Canal
expenses, $56,920,847, which will be
repaid to the Treasury by the sale Of
bonds, the grand total is $687,414,-
$50. The total appropriations for
this year were $721,313,90O.
While the Secretary's deport esti-
mates the total expenses of govern
ment at $685., 414,S60, the estimates
which have been transmitted to Con-
gress ask for $748,414,S61, differ
ence of SCI, 100000. Congress is
asked to appropriate this extra $751;
100000 to make the sinking fund
law effective. 1t would be an appro-
priation to permit the treasury to be-
gin applying one per cent. a year to
the discharge of the national debt.
The law authorizing such proce-
dure has been a dead letter for some
time, as Congress has never appro-
priated any money.
The appropriations for the ordi-
nary expenses of the government
were, for 1910, $693,313, 1855; for
1911, 683,45S,900. The estimates
for the next fiscal year, beginning
July /, are $63O,494,013.
There are difficulties in the way of
making an estimate of next years re-
ceipts. but in the best light available,
Secretary MacVeagh places the
amount at $6SO.000,0 These
ordinary receipts II realized, viii ex-
coed the ordinary disbursements by
$49,605.986. But taking also into
account the estimates for the Panama
Canal, the deficit for the next year
will be $7,414.860.
