Saturday Evening and Sunday, Fol-

to Be Taken Up at Once.

Washington, Mar. 21.-The house
passei through it's first day Of busi-
ness, following the great eruption
of last. week with remarkable quiet
itude and tonight when adjournment
came there was an air of calmness
and amity prevailing that, to the
observers of the events in the past
week, was almost unbelievable.
Peace appeared near and notwith-
standing that less than ten days
distant there is the selection OF the
new rules committee to be undertake
en- with all it's embarrassing compn'
cations.
Democrats Satisfied.
There are many elements that
contributed to tadays pacification.
The democrats, satisfied with the sit
uation as it left them after the
four days Of fierce strife were too
content to let matters drift for a
while.
The regular republicans, realizing
from the present outburst in the
press from various insurgents over
the Saturday night speech of Cannon
when he called them "Cowardly
members" that party harmony was
to be gained only the most diplo-
matte tender of the olive branch,
were most adroit in their relations
today with their insurgent brethren.
That division of the insurgents
which voted for the ousting OF
Speaker Cannon from the speaker
ship were eminently satisfied today
with their effort and like the demo-
Gratis willing to let things drift
quietly.
The score or so of insurgents who
had voted for the retention of the
speaker in the chair, to be awarded
with withering blast from the
speaker, supplied the only discord-
ant note. They reached the capitol
in a decidedly wrathful and militant
frame of mind. Several of them like
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-of a
further fight upon the rules OF the
house, upon Speaker Cannon, upon
the regulars in the selection Of the
new rules committee and along other
lines Of insurgency. But, notwith.
standing their loud cries Of renewed
rebellion they were met on all sides
by smiles and conciliatOry words
from the regulars.
Speaker Possibly Misquoted.
Not the least influence in produc-
ing a sort of general air of forgive
ness was the word that came ind1-
rectly from the room of Speaker
Canno nto the effect that the speak
er had moderated In his attitude to-
ward the men he hal denounced
Saturay night and there was almost
certainty that the speaker had been
misquoted in his remarks, or some
thing of the kind.
Clark and Payne to Be On Committee
One of the strongest evidences of
the days ten iency toward peace was
the nomination Of Majority Leader

committee, by Norris the leader of
the insurgents and the author Of the
resolution which precipitated the re-
cent war.
Norris said that as Minority Leader
Clark was to be member of the
he believed Mr.. Payne
also should be on the committee.
Half of the house appeared to find
something humorous in the situa-
tion and the bitterness and rancor of
the past few days appeared to dis
appear. Whether it has any greater
than that of mere in
cident of one legislative day cannot
be foretold.
The republican caucus on the Sc
lection of the new rules committee,
it was announced by Currier, the
chairman of republican caucus, would
not be held before the latter part of
the week, probably Saturday might.
Nearly all of the insurgents, both
those who had voted for ami against
the speaker last Saturday announc-
ed they intended to enter the eau
Gus. Representative Hayes and one
or two others early in the day de-
clared they would not, under any cir
