a monkey and referred to the city
hall as a nest of thieves. He com
manded the carmen to stand hrm

He threw his voice over a thousand

plause. He banged the table until
his fists were sore. He sank 10 his
knees and prayed high heaven that
labor would not retire before in

with yells.

Taking in his hand the gavel. the Speaker
hit the table before him with an an
nouncement that he was ready to rule
on the long DELAYED point Of order made
by Representative DalzeH against con
siderstion of the Norris resolution pro
viding for a larger Rules Committee
Orderly Precision of Defeat.
The Speaker read his ruling, sustaining
Mr.. Dalzeil in his point of order, as he
vas expected 10 do. Mr.. Norris took an
exception, as he was expected to do. The
House. for the second time this week re-
versed the ruling OF the Speaker. as IT
was expected to do. The resolution for a
different kind Of rules committee was
then declared 10 be in order, and the new
resolution substituted by Mr.. Norris for
the one he introduced on Thursday was
put on its debate and final passage, all
within four hours, exactly in accordance
with the plan of the allies.
Seldom have Such scenes been enacted

After the cheers of the allies which
followed the passage OF the Norris reso-
luton had died away. Norris. with
smile of triumph on his face. raised his
right hand high above his head and

row in the majority. and that the
Speaker of the House is not in har-
mony with the actual majority of the
House as evidenced by the vote Just
taken.
Two Courses Open.
There are two courses open for
the Speaker TO pursue:
"One is to resign and permit the new
combination of Democrats and insur-
gents to choose a Speaker in harmony
with its aims and purposes. The
other is for that combination to de-
clare a vacancy In the Office of
Speaker and proceed to the election
OF a new Speaker.
After consideration. at this stage
of the session of the House. with
much of important legislation pending
involving the pledges of the Republic
can platform and their capitalization
into law, believing that his resignation
might consume weeks Of time in the
reorganization OF the House. the
Speaker, being in harmony with Re-
publican policies and DESTROYS OF
carrying them out, declines by his own
motion 20 precipitate a contest upon
the House in the election Of a new
Speaker. a contest that might
greatly endanger the final passage
of all legislation necessary 10 redeem
Republican pledges and fulfill Repub-
lican promises.
This is one reason why the Speak
er does not resign at once, and an
other reason is this:
I'm the judgment of the present
Speaker a resignation Is in and Of
itself : confession OF weakness or
mistake or an apology for past &C
tons The Speaker is not conscious
of having done any political wrong.
The same rules are in force in this
House that have been in force for
two decades.

rules as he found them and as they
have been construed by previous
Speakers from Thomas B. Reeds

A REVOLUTION.

REVOLUTION.
Nothing short Of revolution, however,
was brought about yesterday in the
House. The Speakers organization OF
regular Republicans suffered a most
crushing defeat at the hands of the
allied Democrats and insurgent Repub-
licans when action was taken on the
long-deferred Norris resolution to over
throw the present Committee on Rules.
which was passed, making the Speaker
ineligible to the new committee which is
TO shape legislation in the House from
now on.
Invites blow mt Himself.
The startling effect Of this blow struck
at the Republican organization in the
House was heightened to a degree by an
invitation from the Speaker to have some
member move that the Speaker vacate
his chair in case the allies, who had de-
feated him and his organization so many
times during the present fight, desired
to have in the chair some one in whom
they had more confidence.
The Speakers invitation for a vote of
confidence was answered in the fullest
degree by retaining him in the chair,
after move TO Dust him was made by
Representative Burleson, but it was
touch and go before this was decided
upon and shown in the roll call as TO
whether OF not he should be so retained,
the regulars not knowing whether the
insurgents would vote with them or not,
and being very happy when they found
that many insurgents did so vote.
The Speaker was granted the vote of
| confidence fought for b" the party man

ney. Mr.. Mann, and others. under the
most dramatic circumstances that have
been seen in the House of Represents
