SPEAKER CANNON scAME BACK"
 "INsURGENTs" DIscoMFiTED.
Uncle Joe Had His Hour of Triumph in
 the House Monday.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Speaker Can non had his hour of triumph in the house today. Badly battered in the three-days' storm that swept the house last March and having torn from him then much of the power that had been his, the speaker came back" in a way that brought a grim smile of satis- faction to his rugged countenance and left his ancient enemies, the "insur- gents" decidedly discomfited.
 Today the speaker was sustained by an overwhelmingly majority on @ rul- ing which was identical with the one he made last March when the house angrily overruled his decision through g. combination of insurgent republicans and democrats. Today the democrats voted almost solidly to sustain the ruling of the chair. The insurgents twenty-seven of thenl-stood by their guns and fought the speaker bravely. But, robbed of democratic support, their battle was a losing one from the start. The regular republicans taunted the democrats unceasingly for their change of front. The house was in it's gayest mood, and during the three hours that the fight lasted there was an almost continuous gale of laughter.
 Haunted for his inconsistency, Rep resentative Fitzgerald of New York, one of the democratic leaders in the rules fight, retOrted that for the sake of consistency he didn't propose to be foolish.
 When Champ Clark of Missouri, who Is slated to succeed Speaker Cannon, voted to sustain the chair today. the republicans broke into storms of ap- plause.
 Representative Underwood of A1aba- ma joined MT. Fitzgerald in frankly admitting that he thought the speaker was right in his ruling last March and that he ruled in line with the prece- dents Of the house.
 The "insupgents'' refused to be downcast by their defeat. Twenty-six democrats voted with them against the speaker and they claim that these ''in- surgent democrats" will be their allies in all future fights.
 ''Poppycock." said Champ Clark, when told ~of this. Every man voted as he pleased. That was my advice to them. The vote had no significance whatever as a party proposition'
 It was whether or not proposed amendment to the rules, offered from the floor, constituted question of high constitutional privilege that brought about the storm. It was precisely this question that called out, the ''revo1u- tion' last March h

R-<tford, Jan. 3.-Just as every bod> expected, the republican mem berS of the legislature who tomorrow will take part in the senatorial cau- GUS began to come to town in the aft ernoon to be on hand for the latest developments in the Mclean -Bulkeley contest. Both the senior senator and his opponent, the ex-governor, kept open house at their headquarters in the Allyn house, and there was a steady stream of callers all the eve ming.
 Undercurrent of Activity.
 There was much activity underneath although on the surface there seemed to be very little doing. Knots of men stood in the Hobbies of the hotels and talked over the prospects for the eau GUS and whether it would be as pro- longed and as exciting as the three which have been held in recent years. Many of the politicians prophesied that tomorrow the caucus will be very much like that in 1905, when Senator Bulkeley was first nominated, when a single ballot told the story of the lead of the Bulkeley men over those led by State Senator Samuel Fessen- den.
 No Figures Given Out.
 Most of the prophesying tonight was by the Mclean men, who have held the opinion for a considerable time that Mir. Mclean will win the caucus nomination by as large a margin as that of Bulzeley over EeSsenden. While expressing confidence over the outlook. the men in Senator Bulke- Isys quarters did not give any figures tonight nor indicate wherein the strength for the senator lay. On the other hand. J. Henry Roraback, man. aEsr for Mclean, stated that they had placed about every republican mem Der and knew just about how many votes to expect.
 Caucus at 2 O'Clock.
 The caucus at two o'clock tomorrow will be called to order by State Chair man Kenealy. according to the plan tonight, and Speaker Fred A. Scott of Plymouth will be made presiding officer, and the house and senate clerks will be chosen to do the cleri- cal work. After organization, the case of John L Hutchinson of Essex will be settled. and If he is sent out of the caucus there will be zs0 votes to be east, provided there are nc absentees. There will be a roll call vote as in 1905. when BuikeIey beat Fessenden, each member rising and expressing his choice as was done at that time. There wore four absenteeS in the 1905 cau- GUS.
 It is expected that following custom ahs caucus will be held behind closed doors in the house chamber. This was done at all three of the recent sena- corial cauouses. the only outsiders be- ing the newspaper men, who were ad- ,nitted by reason of @ resolution adopted by the body. Should the nom inating speeches be short, the vote will not take long, for a roll call will show from tho outset how the vote is go- tne When Bulkeley was nominated ia 1905 he had forty votes in his own county to one for Hill cast by a New Britain representative. When New Haven county swung in with 22 more Tor BuIixelay and only for Fessenden the outcome was forecasted- The strength of Bulkeley tomorrow in Hartford county will probably be talk cn by the caucus es a guide to the vote which will come in the counties which follow.
