BATTLE.
PARTY STANDING OF BOILERS
insurgents Don't Know Where They
Are In Ranks of G. o. P.-Voted
to Keep the Speaker and Now Re
gret Their Course.

WASHING TON, March 20.-The Tt
tanic struggle over the Speakership
of the House of Representatives,
which reached its climax late yester-
day in the destruction of the Speak.
er's power in the Committee on Rules
and the determination by the House
to reconstruct that committee, yet
leaving Mr. Cannon the Speakership
itself, may have marked not so much
the ending of the three days battle
as the beginning of a great political
war. The recognition by all factions
of this possibility was the principal
feature today of the political situa-
ton in Washington.
Hardly anybody here thinks the con-
dition of affairs after the momentous
battle represents any satisfactory con-
clusion. The Speaker and his friends
appear to interpret the refusal OF the
House to dcpose him as justifying
them in claiming to have wrested vic
tory from defeat, Endorsement from re-
nudiation. Not few of the insur
gents who voted for Mr.. Cannon's re-
tention are wondering today II they
made a political blunder; whether
their anti-Cannon constituents will not
indeed hold their retaining him in the
Speakership to have nullified their
vote to eliminate him from the Rules
Committee.
The Republican regulars compla-
Gently claim that the insurgents who
voted for the Speaker have returned

to the logic Of their insurgency. No
hodv seems entirely happy about the
outcome. Even in the Senate the reg
ulars are apprehensive lest the insur-
gent confagration may be about TO
spread to that house; the insurgent
Senators are wondering whether they
have made the most of their oportu-
mites.
Speaker Cannon's defiant speech
last night before the Illinois Republi-
can Association, in which he con-
temptuousiy denounced the insurgent
members Of the House who stood by
him in the final test, as "cowardiy
members of Congress without the
courage of their convictions" has cut

JORDY in EARNEST
ABOUT new RAILROAD

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 15.-Mr. ]. MI
ma Jordy has again written Mayor
Crowder from New Orleans relative
to the proposed new railroad up the
Pearl river valley. Mr.. Jordy says
he has heard of the proposed line of
the New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago
road into Jackson over practically the
same route he proposes, but says the
impression of the public wants is that
made by cross ties in the ground.
He says two or three small towns
North of Jackson want the road badly
and that it would be less expensive
to build in that section, but he pre-
fers to live in Jackson, because of
the educational facilities, and for this
reason desires to bring the road on
to Jackson. The letter does not con-
| tain much information to the public,
except that Mr.. Jordy seems anxious
to get the people of Jackson interest
ed in the proposed road to the extent
of a $4,000 bonus, and promises as
soon as this money is raised, to begin
work on the line.
Mr.. Jordy declines to consider a
proposition for less than $4,000, but
iutimates that he may build the line
connecting the small towns North OF
Jackson, leaving this city out of his
plans entirely. If such road is built
it will be into the timber lands Of
the Pear river valley, and will looi
to the development of the timber in
dustry in that section largely for ton
mage.
The citizens with whom Mayor
Crowder has discussed this matter
seem inclined to wait and see wha
the New Orleans, Mobile and Chicago
will do before taking up this project
If that road shows no inclination tt
build into Jackson, then Mr.. Jordy'i
proposal may receive consideration
If he builds North of Jackson thu
road up there will eventually become
a part of the proposed Pearl rive
valley road from Jackson to Birming
ham on the East and Memphis on thu
West.
