Amity Preuails Among the Warning Factions
in the Empire of Cannon--Regulqrs Learn
that Diplomacy Must be Used to Get In
surgents Back in Line--Spare No Words
in Telling of Their Indgnation--
Speaker Moderates Toward
the Insurgents

Washington, Mar. %. The house
passed through its first day of business
following the great eruption OF last
week with remarkable quietude, and
last night when adjournment came
there was an air of calmness and
amity prevailing that. to the observer
Of events in the last week, was almost
unbelievable.
Peace appeared near, and this, not
withstanding that less than ten days
distant there is the selection of new
rules committee to be undertaken with
all its embarrassing complications,
The regular republicans. realizing
from the violent outbreaks in the
press from various insurgents over
the Saturday night speech of Speaker
Cannon when he called them Cow
ardly members" that party harmony
was to be gained only by the most
diplomatic tender of the olive branch.
were most adroit in their relations to-
day with their insurgent brethren.
The score or so of insurgents who
voted for the retention of the speaker
in the chair only to be rewarded
with a withering blast from the speak
er, supplied the only discordant note.
They reached the capitol in decid-
edly wrathful and militant frame of
mind, several of them like Represen-
tative Norris of Nebraska; Madison
of Kansas; Hayes of California, and
two or three others, gave at once
their views fully to the press, sparing
no words in voicing their indignation
at the way the situation affected them
Two or three of them talked loudly
of continued warfare and of a further
fight on the rules of the house and
in open defiance of Speaker Cannon
and the regulars in the selection OF
the new rules committee, and along
other lines OF insurgency; but not
their loud cries of re-
newed rebellion, they were met on all
sides by smiles and conciliatory words
from the regulars.
Not the least influence in producing
a sort of general air of forgiveness
was the word that came directly from
the room of Speaker Cannon 10 the
effect that the speaker had moderated

| in his attitude toward the men hC
had denounced on Saturday night, an6
there was almost certainty that the
speaker had been misquoted in bis
remarks" or something of that kind
One of the strongest evidences of
the days tendency toward peace was
the nomination of Majority Leader
Payne for place on the new rules
committee by Representative Norris,
leader of the insurgents and author
|of the resolution which precipitated
the recent war. Representative Norris
said that as Minority Leader Clark
was to be a member of the commit.
tee he believed Mr.. Payne also should
be on the committee.
The democrats, through Minority
Leader Champ Clark, acting for their
caucus chairman, Representative Clay
ton, of Alabama, who is absent called
their caucus on the rules committee
question for next Thursday night.
Three of their selections are sure to
be Clark, of Missouri; Fitzgerald, of
New York, and Underwood, of Ala
bama.

ticians in Washington expect Presi-
dent Taft to dispose of the appoint,
ments of pension agent at Topeka and

Mr.. Curtis has indorsed Fremont
Leidy Of Butler county for collector
and Col. A. w. Smith of Mcpherson
for pension agent. Senator Bristpw
has indorsed Judge ]. A. Burnett of
Caldwell for collector. He said today
he would indorse candidate for pen
sion agent in a few days. Mr.. Bris-
tow stated that he would not go to
the white house to discuss the ap-
pointments with Mr. Taft unless the
president sent for him.
In January, Mr.. Taft told the sena-
tor he would consult him before max
ing any of the Kansas appointments.
Soon after that and without saying
anything to Bristow, the president
sent to the senate the nomination of
H. ]. Bone for another term as United
States district attorney. Bristow
wrote Mr.. Taft calling attention to
Bones appointment and reminding
him of his statement that he would be
consulted about the patronage. To
this letter the senator has received no
reply. Members of the Kansas dele
cation in the house expect the presi-
dent to appoint Curtis candidates.

Methodist church. The day was ideal
and brought the church-loving people
out in great numbers. Bro. Cantrell

said to this man. Thou art weighed
in the balance and found wanting !?

upon the hearts of men and women,
which will last through eternity.
Fourteen persons presented them
selves for church membership at the
close of the service.

to S:45. This mas been one of the
chief attractions of the meeting ami

len below two hundred.
-Four additions at this service. The
service last night was the best Mon

DANGEROUS FIRE IN
DALQUEST TIN SHOP

Defective wireing or at least the
contact of an electric light wire with
the metal covering of the Dalquest tin
shop on South Scraper street caused
a fire this afternoon, which, had it not
been for the prompt action of the fire
department, might have caused a
dangerous fire in the business portion
of the city The blaze, however, was
quickly extinguished and with very
slight damage.
The tin shop is located immediate
ly in the rear of the Sanders-Wright
department store and had it been al
lowed to gain headway, the south wind
might have caused havoc in that
block.
