It Is most probable that the dry tones will be concentrated on one bill, which will under Viflse circumstances have a Rood chance of receiving general support. There will be a caucus of a few of the republican members of both houses tonight to consider the question of a vote for I'nlted States senator. It Is generally un derstood that some republican cundldate. probably Senator Burket. will receive as many votes as the republicans can muster for him In opposition to Hitchcock, who, under the fulfillment of the Oregon plan, will be certain to receive a majority in the two houses. Attttndo of Itennhllrana. The vota on I'nlted States senator tomorrow- will result In lees than a dozen votes for the opponents of O. M. Hltchoock. The rcpuDilcans wno nad not signed statement number one and did not otherwise pledge themselves to vote for the people's choice, tried to get together In caucus late this afternoon and this evening. The senators failed altogether and three of four men who have not decided definite for Hitch cock will cast oomptlme ntary votes for favorite anns, as for Instance Senator Jan srn of Beatrice. wh' will vote P. W. C'oog, a banker of that city. Tha friends of Senator Burkttt were busy among the fifteen representative who were not pledged and the efforts to get a vote cant for Congressman Norris of rhelps were unsuccessful. Norr a may get a few votes, but of the fifteen, seven at least will vote for Hitchcock and the other eight will probably unite for . Hurkett. v One republican. ,&dfrii.tsitve -Smith f i Boone, remarked (hat It was anything to keep Hitchcock from a unanimous vote ; and be wll probably fall of that by three i or four In tha senate and seven or eight i In the house.

It was sprung just before tbo lime for balloting for senator, the purpose being to hang the senatorshlp up In the:. air Indefinitely and find some excuse for republicans who wanted to gig back on the party nomination which Hruun had won. and the popular vote he had secured In the election.

Content in tho lean years of defeat to dine at "dollar" dinners with 'hog and hominy" aa the central theme and spring water on the side, the militant democracy of l'.'ll will sit at a feast here tomorrow night where the exclusive diamond back terrapin will vie with the aristocratic canvasback ducli and the epicurean Smlthfield ham In the courses of a banquet that Is fittingly to celebrate the democratic vlctorle of 1910. The banquet will be the closing feature of a day given over to harmony confer ences among the democrats from various sections of the country. Governor Harmon of Ohio and Champ Clark of Missouri are to be the central figures. Both will de liver formal addresses at a meeting In the Lyric In the afternoon and probably will be called upon at the banquet, although neither is on the regular list of after dinner speakers. 1,1st of Speakers. Senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas. Gov ernor Kugene N. Foss of Massachusetts, former Representative Theodore M. Bell of California, former Senator Blackburn of Kentucky, Senator Boberl L. Taylor of Kentucky. Senator Shively of Indiana, Representative-elect Martin W. Littleton of New York, National Chairman li. Mack and "Ueacen" James C. Hemphill of Rich mond are among others to take part In the conference and to deliver speeches either at the meeting In the afternoon or at the banquet In the evening. A special train from Washington will bring to Baltimore practically every demo cratic member of the I'nlted States senate and house of representatives. Altogether It Is expected that more than 1,000 faithful democrats will sit about the "groaning boards" In the Fifth regiment armory. Contrary to the general Impression, the meetings will constitute a celebration rather than a conference and no political signifi cance Is expected to attach to the pro ceedings. The men who proposed the celebration and who have had charge of the plans declare there Is no purpose of starling a "boom" for any man for president. They say that so far as Governor Harmon l concerned his "boom" Is already under war ami has been for some time past. Invitations tieiieral. Invitations to the Baltimore jubilee were general and tach man who accepted w:ll have an enthusiastic hearing. The guests of honor will all arrive here at approxi mately the same time. Governor Harmon Is expected In the morning and each train In the forenoon will bring its quota of democrats. Governor Crolhers is to preside tit the afternoon meeting and Judge Ferdinand Williams of Cumberland, Md., will act ns toHstmaster at the banquet. The democratic leaders resent the idea that the conference is Intended to bring about harmony in the democratic ranks. They sav It Is pimply to celebrate the harmony already attained. No attempt will be made to fix a policy as to the course of the demrcratic mujorlty in the house of representatives. That will be left to the congressional leadors to be dealt with In their own way. No resolution binding the democracy to any candidate for any national otflce will be considered "In order" and there will be no appeals from the chair on this parliamentary point.- A free, open discus lon of democratic principles has been in- I vlted and any speaker whoV-area to hurl i brick at "Cannonl.sm" or any other Ism" of the republican party will be more than welcome to have his flln,;.

Governor Harmon recently passed a week In Washington and while there was In conference with most of the democratic leaders In the two houses of congress. Washington haa been a mecca for demo crats ever since the election. Some Idea of the magnitude of the ban quet may be gained from the fact that there will be fifty-three seats at the speak ers' table. This does not mean that there will be fifty-three speeches, but the more Important guests will be given places of honor at this table whether they are to my anything or not.

RALLY TO SUPPORT OF NEW RULE Fltaarerald Insists on Consideration of Motion to niarharsre Committee When Hall Mores for Con-- nilttee nf Wkelei ; - . -i WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The stirring scenes of the last session of congress, when the house overthrew Speaker Cannon and took the making of Its rules Into Its own hands, was re-enacted in part on the floor of the house today. Threatened 1th what they believed to be an effort "to draw the teeth" of one of the most Important of the new rules, demo crats and Insurgents Joined In the defeat of the speaker, By a vote of 146 to 131 the combined forces rallied to the support of Representative Fltigerald (dem., N. Y.) and sustained him in his appeal from the speuker's ruling. The fight developed as the result of the second attempt to use the new rule which gives the house power to discharge a com mittee from further consideration of a bill I hat has been referred to it. The Insurg ents and the democrats believed this rule ironclad, that as soon as the consideration of the bills by Unanimous consent had been concluded, on every first and third Mon day of the month, the house was bound by the new ruin to take up the motions to discharge committers (torn the custody of the specified bills. Hall Starts Trouble. When the moment arrived today, how ever, Speaker Cannon gave recognition to Representative Hull of Iowa, chairman of the military affairs committee. Mr. Hull moved that the house resolve Itself Into a committee of the whole and take up the consideration of the military appropriation bill, upon which it had been working last j week. There was an Immediate rallying of forces and stiffening of ranks amongrt the Insurgents and democrats. Mr. Fitzgerald Insisted upon the consideration of a motion to discharge a committee which was upon the calendar. Speaker Cannon declined to give Mr. FltR gerald the preference, but said he would be glad to consider a point of order if Mr. Fitzgerald wanted to make one. The democratic member declared he did not have to make a point of order, that his was the right to recognition under the new rule, without the raising of any point of order against the speaker's action. Insurgents, democrats and regulars all Jumped Into the free debate that followed. I'pon the speaker's refual to recognize Mr. Fitzgerald, the latter finally was forced j to make a point of order against the tak- ; Ing up of the army appropriation bill. j The speaker had his ruling on the point (Continued on Fourth Page.)

From all corners of the country that lies to the west of Omaha they come. But four of the exhibits tbat will go to make up the show are yet to arrive. They are all on the way. Activities at the Auditorium, where the show will be held, were redoubled yester day. Fruits, flowers, grain and literature In crates and bales poured into the big show rooms. Workmen mingled In one great throng. The man building mountains rubbed elbows with the chap who waa planting baby wheat fields on a toy farm. Then a big grownup man was making cute little rows of mud pies, later modeling them into one long heap to be lobeled, "road founda tion." The scenic exhibit Is the domain where Inches represent miles and splashes of bilious blue paint mimic the haze-softened reaches of the distant mountains, A lusty 200-pound mechanic labored patiently over a four-Inch bridge spanning an awful chasm fifteen Invhes deep. By and by a roaring torrent of city water will be tear ing down that canon, ripping Itself Into futile ribbons of froth. The Land Show last night presented a chaotic picture of budding landscapes. To morrow It will be the completed picture of the western panorama entitled "Oppor tunity." Near Completion. "The Land Show Is closer to completion tonight than either of the corn expositions were the day before their openings," said W. O. Faisley, general manager of the Weslerln Products exhibit, aa he watched the work of many months of preparation taking form In tht Auditorium. "I am as sured now that the show will lack nothing on the appointed hour for handing It over for the inspection of the public on the opening day. Four exhibits are yet to oome. Today I have been In touch with them by wire and they will be in the show, when the gates open. The railroads have done unusually wall In the prompt handling of the exhibits from distant points. The shipments have bean kept moving at a lively rate. Practically the whole show is In the Auditorium ond at the present rate It will be ready in ample time. Things ara taking form rapidly." Colorado hit the Land Show yesterday. "Hit" Is the exact word. A flock of Colorado boosters, full of enthusiasm and seductive figures, armed with scenic literature, arrived and pro ceeded to business. Buslnesa In this In stance consists of telling Just why the Colorado farm Is the place to grow wealthy while nature does the work. The air was full of Irrigation and peaches from Grand Junction early In the day. Tne Colorado boosters are on the Job. The Colorado exhibit and the exhibitors came In on a special train over the I n. on Pacific yesterday morning. A traluload of products will show what Colorado lnnd is producing.
