with few exceptions, rallied with all

vote which almost offset the "repudia-

This is what happened:
BY vote of 191 to 155, the Repub-

the Democrats, the House adopted
the resolution of Representative Nor
ris, Republican, of Nebraska,) re-
quiring reorganization of the rules
committee, increasing it's membership
from five to ten, and declaring the
speaker ineligible to membership
therein.
BY the curiously identical vote of
191 to 155-but with a decidedly diff
ferent personnel of alignment-the
House defeated a resolution of Rep
resentative Burleson, of Texas, de-
claring the Speakership vacant and
ordering an immediate election of a
successor to Mr.. Cannen.
Here is the Norris resolution, which
was adopted:
There shall be a committee on
rules, elected by the House (hitherto
the committee of five, like all other
House committees, has been appoint
ed by the Speaker,) consisting of ten
members, six of whom shall be men,
bers of the majority party and fou1 of
whom shall be members of the MIN

shairman from It's own members.
Resolved further, That within ten
days after the adoption of this reso.
luton there shall be an election Of
this committee, and immediately up-
on its election the present committee
on rules shall be dissolved"

sentative Burleson, which was de-
feated:
