AA 4 oSC LJ Sormer Eractice of ztifing Iegisla tion' in committees.
 A special order limiting debate on rules to four hours brought tha cry of gag from the republicans. Speeches of more or less political ma ture were made, but no serious fight on the rules.
 Four Hours Battle. Republicans claimed they were dis barred from such fight because of fur ther provisions of the special order that only one substitute set of rules tRn be offered by the minority. The political battle ragged four hours as a foretaste Of others to come that are expected to make the present congress notable. Mann was ably seconded by former Speaker Cannon, Dalzell and Olmsted. Mann l charged the democrats with insin eerlty inasmrch as they spoke in praise of rules which they had no pur
 
 majority, the right to control Iegisla tion. He characterized the rule to dis ! charge committees as "an utter ab sIrdity, not to say idiotie." Chairman Henry of the new rules committee reported that the ruies thus characterized had called out the most doleful speech he ever heard the gentleman make, and also said the fault that people found in the past was not so much in the house rules as in bad administration of the rules.
 Cannon Expresses Views Cannon was greeted by applause from both parties
 T want to say here and ROW, he declares. that substantially the rules proposed are an endorsement of nearly all good in the rules evolut ed since the adoption of the eonstitU tion, therefor I am not going to criti else the rules merely because the ma I Jority of the house proposes to ad ! opt them. Some times maSorities and minorities tear passion to tat ters and appeal from the standpoint Of demagoguery to people whs would not know a rule if they met one in the middle of the street It Is said we have the unanimous consent cal endar. I am glad We hava Along with that is the saying in the Ian guage of the distinguished gentleman from Kansas, Murdock, and the uni versal representation of the uplift magazines, that it is no longer neces sary to crawl upon your knees, hat in hand, to ask he speaker for fecog milton for unanimous consent Works Both Ways.
 When the unanimous consent cal endar is called, if my judgment prompts me to object to the intro duction of bill. no doubt the man in charge of that bill will fgurative Iy come on his hands and knees, with his hat in his hand, even the gentleman from Kansas, trying to convince the comember on the floor that the consideration of the bill should not be objected to"
 Mr Cannon criticised the rules for not permitting discharge Of the rules committee itself and declared that Gear Henry would be no more, nor less, ear than the former speaker.
