Slsyden's Resolution.

the house calendar was lost.
Slsyden's Resolution.
Mr.. Slayden, a Texas Democrat in
troduced the resolution a week ago. It
sought to express the ''opinion of the
house" that the example of Washing
ton, in retiring after a second term,
had by universal concurrence become
the time-honored custom of the coun-
try, violation of which would be
fraught with peril to free institutions.
The resolution was called up today
with but little warning, and there was
a quick matching of wits.
Shifted to Democrats.
Suspension of the rules was requir-
ed to pass the measure, and to sus-
pend the rules a second" had to be
considered as ordered. Mr.. Sims, of
Tennessee, objected to the second,
and a. vote by tellers, on ordering this
parliamentary move, was necessary.
The Republicans, in hurried confer
ence. had determined to vote on the
resolution, thus putting the Demo-
Gratis in the position of passing the
measure by party vote, and, in the
opinion of number of them, indicat-
ing fear of Mr.. Roosevelt as the Re-
publican nominee.
sSecond" Defeated.
Hence, the bulk of the Democrats
decided not to vote for the second, y
and it was defeated, 80 to 81. Four
Republicans, however, cast their votes
for the second. Former Speaker Can
non led the way, and was followed by
Mr. Mccall, of Massachusetts,, who
had planned to speak against the third
term idea: Mr.. Bingham, of Pennsyl-
vania, "Father Of the House." and Mr..
Higgins, of Connecticut.
With the second" defeated, Mr..
Slayden was forced, amid a burst Of
applause, to withdraw his motion for
suspension Of the rules. The resolu-
ton was returned to the committee On
elections

has been extremely autious and has never
actually indorsed that candidate or any
other. and has given to no one opportunity
to call him traitor If he accepts the nomina-
ton himself II is believed that there Will be
no choice on the first ballot or on the Sec

Of a deadlock lasting for a considerable
time II is regarded as certain that
persistent deadlock will result in the pres
entation 10 the convention OF the name or
Mr.. Bryan, and II is remarked that the
peerless leader obviously has been trying
TO keep on good terms with more than one
of the candidates now running, and might
easily profit BY stampede started by one

over 10 the Nebraskan. There are many
men who believe Mr.. Bryan could COM

than any other candidate, and IL is asked
II one Of his friends should be the frst

any other candidate, profit thereby. Alto
getner, the prospects for an interesting con
vention at Baltimore are increasing "a the

Washington, May 6.-Presldent TAFT TO-

of the reports of consular officers on CO.

are the result OF the investigation he some
time ago directed should be made Inc
countries Included In this instalment are
France, Belgium, the Netherlands ana Den
mark The reports are accompanied d!
letter from Huntington Wilson, Acting sec
rotary of State.
II appears from the information collected,
the Acting Secretary says, that the rising
cost of living has directed attention 10 ana
augmented the membership Of the cooper
ative societies, more especially In France
and Belgium The tendency Is toward
small societies. and the great majority ol
the associations represent groceries ana
bakeries. The most successful distriouuVe
societies are in the manufacturing cities OF
Northeastern and Central France.
The operation of the agricultural So
cieties has been especially successful IN
Southern Franco The French government
has extended couragement to these So
cieties by furnishing expert advice, grant
ing subventons and permitting long term
loans by agricultural credit associations.
High grade farm machinery Is purchased
from the SURPRISES or Is loaned gratuitouS-
" or upon the payment of nominal fees.
Government employees are to large eN-
tent organized into cooperative societies.
In regard TO industrial cooperative pro-
duction II appears that plants owned and
operated by the operatives are not m
common in France. In Lyons. FOR example.
the enterprise is conducted by societies
composed Of their own operatives. including
printing and engraving, building, plumbing.
tailoring. weaving, tanning, carpenterins.
paper hanging. the making Of pasteboard
boxes and the making Of metallic furni-
ture.
In Belgium. tho consular reports state,
large proportion of In" cooperative So
cieties sell at prices lower than those OF
the regular markets allowing only MEM
bers TO purchase, and have only minimal
profits TO distribute. Many societies guar
sntee per cent dividend on all purchases
and distribute all remaining profits to va
