The Monetary Commission.

Washington, Jan. 9.-As result OF
conference held over the White House
dinner table Saturday night between
President Taft, members OF the None
tary Commission and proninct tinan-
ciers, the administration, it was learned
today has practically abandoned its
plan OF attempting to introduce cur
rency reform bill in Congress at this
session.
The idea OF the administration was
TO introduce bill ..as a buffer" with
out hope OF its passage, but simply to
stir up consideration OF it for the next
session. The present leaning OF the
Monetary Commission is toward the
central bank plan and the bill, 1t is
understood, would have advocated this
means OF currency reform. There is a
great amount of opposition, however,
to this idea. The Monetary Commits,
sion, it lis reported, supports the CEN
trail bank idea not as the best possible
reform, not as the only means
which they have SO far been able to
discover by which the currency system
OF this country could be placed upon a
foundation.
1t swas Therefore attempted to fine
cut just what sort OF a reception cen
trail bank would receive from the bank
ers of the country. That was the pur-
pose of the conference on Saturday
night.
John F. Forgan, president OF the
First National Bank, OF Chicago, was
an open opponent OF Senator Aldrich
upon his central bank plan was invited
by Aldrich to attend. 1t was reported
today that Forgan refused to with.
bold his opposition to any central
bank bill. Therefore the administra-
ton rather than introduce bill which
would meet with immediate opposition
from the majority of middle western
bankers as represented by Forgan has
abandoned this plan. There still re-
main hope that the monetary Commits
sion may this winter make partia
report.

HOUSE..

Wordy war on the House rules was
prccipitated when the House met today
A split in regular ranks over the con
struction placed upon the insurgent
motion to discharge" committees
rulo caused the trouble.
Mr.. Fuller (rpn., Ill., began with
resolution amending the rule to prevent
the motion to discharge" calendar
taking precedence over suspension. "
When Fuller tried to get bill before
the House under suspension" on
Monday December 10 and the speaker
ruled that under the discharge" rule
motion to discharge committee
blocked recognition of member who
wished 10 suspend the rules"
Mr.. Mann Opn., I'D made point
OF order against Fuller's resolution and
Fuller in an impassioned address at
tackled Mann. He declared that Mann
had, by placing 107 bills on the motion
to discharge calendar, thus cutting off
absolutely all chance for suspension
OF the rules, !" at this session.
This house established, on the
10Th OF last March," Fuller declared
that question OF revising the rules
is OF the highest constitutional priv.
lege and therefore always in order and
in order now"
Mann attacked the precedent estab-
ished by the Norris resolution OF last
March and declared that the speaker
should not now rule according to that
precedent.
The democratic leaders Immediately
rallied to the Support Of Mann, as the
representative of the regular machine.
Representative Underwood and Fitz-
gerald rose and declared that the demo-
cratic support OF the Norris resolution
last March was not calculated 10 estab.
lish precedent but was the result OF q
Legislative revolution" in special
case. They showed plainly that no
motion to materially after the rules at
this time would be supported by the
democrats.
After wordy battle Speaker Cannon
reversed the precedent established by
tho bitter Norris rules resolution OF
last March, that the House as ques'
ton of constitutional privelidge can at
any time consider or amend its own
rules
In his rulings Cannon declared that
the action OF the House on tho Norris
resolution, was matter OF personal
action against himself as member OF
the rides committee.
To cure an alleged wrong. being
done by the speaker and the committee
on rules" he said, this revolution was
carried on, fostered by press both
periodical and daily that knew nothing
OF the rules.
Under this great parliamentary re-
FORM" he shouted, swinging his gaFei,
there is no way to amend the ruies
except by a revolution. 1t must Dc
done on the floor.
Representative Gaines, rep, W. VAL
appealed from the decision OF the cnslr
and q roll. call was demanded.

ciple established by the Norris fight OF

The regular routine business then
proceeded.
At its conclusion Mr.. Bevcridge pre-
scented his minority report and after
some debate it was received.
Mr.. Owen then addressed the Senate
in opposition to Mr.. l.orimcr holding
his scat.
Senator Beveriige laid before the
Senate today Il resolution declaring
that Senator Lorimer of Illinois was
not duly aud legally" elected to q
seat in the Senate.
The resolution was attached TO a
minority report by Beverage who was
a member of the committee that in
vcstigated the election of Lorimer.

tor expressed his disapproyal OF the
conclusions announced by the majority
OF the committee in Il report exonsrat-
ing Lorimer from all charges and sets
forth his decision in the resolution
that Lorimcr was not legally elected
TO the Senate.
Bevcridge led off the minority report
with the statements: Il cannot concur
with the report Of the majority OF the
committee. TO my mind the testimony
is conclusive that far more than enough
bribery was practiced in this election
to inyalidate the same, even under the
Senate precedents upon which the
majority rely"

gents voted against Cannon.
Today's action practically nullifGd
the whole effect OF the insurgent fight
against Cannonism ami the rules and
marked the end OF the insurgent-demo-
crat alliance by which the power OF the
Cannon machine and the regulars has
been curbed. 1t was n reputation Of
the principle established that the House
can at any time take up the question
of reforming its rules as matter Of
highest constitutional privilege.

SIXTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
THIRD SESSION.
SENATE

An attack was begun in the Senate
today upon the report OF the Lorimer
investigating committee which held
that the Illinois senator was not elected
to the Senate through corrupt prac-
tices.
Resolutions to expel I.orimer were
presented by Messrs. Oven and Beye-
ridge, and q beginning has just been
made in contest that may be the chief
feature OF the session.
Lorimer took the floor at the first
opportunity after the Senate convened
today. Owen who had gained the
floor to attack Lorimer yielded to the
Illinois senator.
II know" said Mr.. Lorimer that
my election was not accomplished by
bribery and corruption. No improper
use of money was made in my be,
half.
4 feel it is my duty to the people
OF Illinois and to myself to be present
when the discussion takes place on the
question.
Later, I shall at length speak IN
my own defense.
Owen Immediately sought to proceed
with his speech in opposition to Lori
mer but there were LOUD cries OF reg
ular order!"
Owen said1 lie raised a question OF
highest privilege and wou!d offer a
resolution declaring Lorimer's seat va
cant.
Beverage, opposed this procedure
and said the regular order should be
followed
Vice President Sherman held that
Owen was in order.
Owen then offered resolution de-
claring the election Of Lorimer illegal
and void aud The seat vacant.
Gallinger, raised the point OF order
that the resolution must go over one
day under the rules.
The chair held this point was not
well taken and the resolution was i'll
order. Gallinger took IN appeal from
the decision of the chair and Gallinger
was sustained. The chair then held
that Owen could not speak after the
resolution had gone over.
