ed, Derides Insurgents Upon
Their Attitude.

Washington, March 1.-THE house

day to insure against a repetition of
Tuesdays defeat at the hands of the
democrat-insurgent republican COM

speaker, the allies scored another
victory over the regulars yesterday
because of the absence of many re-
publican members.
On appeal from the decision by
Speaker Cannon in the matter OF
precedence for a joint resolution, the
house voted against the speaker 163
to Ill. In addition to a full demo-
cratic vote and 80 insurgents who

er. a dozen other republicans hereto
fore regulars, voted to turn down the
ruling of the chair.
Gives Reasons for Ruling.
Just before the vote Cannon ad-
dressed the house, asserting the rea-
sons for the ruling and showing in
difference as to what action the
house might take. He had ruled that
the unconstitutional nature Of the
resolution offered by Representative
Crumpacker in reference to the com
ing census gave it precedence over
the house rule establishing calendar
We dnesday'' which was the feature
of the Fitzgerald rules.
The Speakers COurse.
Whatever may occur seemingly
to rebuke the chair, whether from
pique or otherwise" the speaker an
nounced, "I shall interpret the rules
as l see them"
More than 80 members arrived
toe late to answer their names on the
roll call.
