of the house regulars and insurgents
failed to reach an agreement this
morning and at eleven o'clock the
members left the committee room.
| There's no agreement and the fight
is on" said Morris. How to save
Cannon from humiliating defeat? That
was the proposition around which all
interest centered at the capital early
today. AS far as the republicans of
the house were concerned. 1t was the
one thought that dominated the unit
ed regulars and considerable portion
of the insurgents forces when the
house convened today A full attend
ance of the members were on the
floor and the galleries were crowded.
A number of the most radical members
of the insurgent faction, however,
were not concerned about what may
happen to the speaker. Democrats, of
course, were interested only in in
tiicting as much damage to the ma
jority as possible. 1t was admitted
on all sides boastfully by the insur-
gents but very quietly by the regulars,
that the fight on the revision of rules
has been won and that the present
rules committee would be overturned
and a new committee selected by the
house.
Radenberg, regular republican
member from Illinois, declared this
morning for deposing Cannon as
speaker. IF some body makes a mo-
tion," he said with heat, 4 will vote
for Champ Clark for speaker. won't
vote with these Hessians any longer
The insurgents agreed by a unani-
nous vote at meeting held just be-
fore noon to support Norris resolu-
tion, after amending it by striking out
geographical features and reducing
the number of the proposed rules com
mittee from fifteen to ten.
In his ruling, Cannon sustained tie
point of order against Norris reso-
luton holding that resolution to be
out of order. Norris appealed Dal-
zell then moved to lay the appeal on
the table. His motion was defeated,
| 164 to 1871 The announcement was
greeted with yells of delight from the
insurgents and democrats. Thirty
five republicans voted with the demo
Gratis. The democrats voted solidly
in the negative Norris then moved
that previous question on his reso-
luton, shutting off all debate. Roll
call proceeded and showed the pre-
vious question" ordered by vote of
ayes 1872, noes 100. This brought di-
rect to a vote to appeal from the
speakers ruling. and that vote was
one that apparently would register the
speakers fall.
Roll call on an appeal from the de-
cision of the speaker began at 1:30.
The result of the vote showed an ap-
peal had been sustained and the
speaker had been over-ruled. The
vote against the speaker was 1872 to
100. The result had been foreseen and
applause was rather mild.
Washington, D. G., Mar. 19.-At
11:45 o'clock last night the house Of
representatives adjourned until noon
today after one of the greatest parlia-
mentary struggles in its history. The
result is nothing more nor less than
drawn battle.
When the final roll calls came Ga
republicans voted to postpone further
action on the Norris amendment until
today, and $50 democrats and insur-
gent republicans voted to continue
! With the regular republicans, fourteen
