Reciprocity Alone.
Democratic House Adopts New Rules
Under Gag After Hot Political
Battle Which Ragged for
Four Hours.

Washington, April 5.-Both houses
of Congress listened today to Presi-
dent Taft's brief message urging the
adoption of the reciprocity agreement
with Canada. Then, with the Senate
adjourned, the Democratic House pro-
ceeded further with 1t organization by
adopting new ruless
These are largely repetition of
those that have been handed down
by many Congresses. The Democrats
claim their greatest reform is taking
from the speaker his power to appoint
committees and to designate the
chairman of each committee. The new
rules provide for the election Of com.
mittees and their chairmen.
The second reform is a return to
the former Democratic practice of per-
hitting amendments to appropriation
bills when the amendments tend to
reduce expenditures

latter, the Democrats say, effectively
does away with the former practice
of sitting legislation in committees.
Debate Limited.
A special order limiting debate on
the rules to four hours Immediately
brought out cry of gag" from the
Republicans. The speeches were moro
or less of political nature and there
was no serious fight on the rules
themselves.
The Republicans claim they were
debarred from making such fight
because of the further provision of the
special order that only one substitute
set of rules could be offered by the
minority Even a roll call was demand

of the rules.

Mr. Mann charged the Democrats
with insincerity inasmuch as they

selves, as a majority, the right to con
troll legislation. He characterized the
rule for the discharge of committees
as IAN utter absurdity, not to say
idiocy."
Chairman Henry of the new rules
committee retorted that the rules
thus characterized had called out the
most doleful speech from Mr. Mann
that he had ever heard the gentleman
make. Mr. Henry also said the fault

past was not so much with the House
rules as the bad administration OF
those rules.

Americans here have not abandoned
the opinion that the United States

business reasons they would welcome

1t is pointed out that the presence
of troops would provoke the anger of
the insurrectos, and might result in
the destruction of the very property

that no property shall be destroyed
