Always there was the bone of con tention between the two opposing sides over which they fought and wrangled fiercely, but for hours at a time the scene took on the aspect of a oomlc opera and laughter and applause filled the house. What of the result? The unusual and al most expllcltlble ending caused a thou sand questions as to the meaning of the armistice. Did It mean that the regulars had won over enough of the insurgents to obtain a truce In the fight and time enough to rally their forces and form some new plan of action, or were both sides weary and worn to the limit of physical ex haustion and glad of an opportunity to de fer the final struggle for a few. hours and give all a ohance to freshen themselves for It? " ' ... ,. "We have lost nothing," said Represent ative Norrls. "This postponement means not a thing more than that we have de terred consideration of my resolution untU tomorrow. The Issue la sot affected at til and the Insurgents stand solidly and unbroken now, Just where they stood twenty-four bours ago." "Uncle" Joe was In his room all night, now and then coming out Into the house, where Representative Dalzell held the chair. ' He seemed Unperturbed by all the warfare going on about his head. Underlying all the events and laughter of- the night was an exceedingly serious vein. This appeared especially when Rep resentative Norrls at 6:20 proposed an ad journment until noon. They had exempli fied the principles for which they stood, he said, and here everywhere In the dawn, after a sleepless nlrfht wearing themselves out fruitlessly, while the men they were fighting were getting a good night's sleep. Mr. James of Kentucky made an elo quent protest against any concession to personal comfort vhict would tend to de tract from the Impreaslveness of the ob ject lesson which they were giving to the public of devotion to the public business, while the republican regulars were delib erately absent In the pursuance of a con spiracy to prevent a quorum. N err Sergeant-at-Arma. About S:S0 a. m. there was a hot debate about the possibility of appointing a new sergeant-at-arms or other officers neces sary to bring in absent members. .It was the general opinion that the sergeant-at-arms and his deputies were making no sincere effort to find the mlsBlng republi cans. Mr. Daliell, In the chair, ruled that the minority there was helpless to appoint my additional officers of the house. The democrats contended the appoint Dont of additional officers necessary to to secure quorum was an essential part of the powers conferred upon "less than a quorum" by ' the constitutor of the United States and the rules of the house. There was a long wrangle about this, officially, Representative I lard wick (dam.) f Georgia moved the appointment of a temporary assistant sergeant-at-arms, with authority to employ additional assistance to bring In the missing representatives. The chair ruled the action out of order, but on appeal, was overruled with a shout. The some procedure was gone through with upon a motion that the newly ap pointed officers be equipped with new warrants. Then the new officers went out to look for the mlRsIng republicans. Caaaon and Barlesoa Tilt. This affair took on a somewhat different aspect, however, when Speaker Cannon himself came on the scene. This was about 6. a. m. t Mf. Burleson of Texas demanded ot the speaker whether he had signed the new warrants "as ordered by this house." . "Unole Joe'a"s voloe . quivered, .with aip pressed rage as he replied, with, a bang of the gavel: "The chair declines to be catechised by the gentleman from Texas." This defiance by the speaker struck sparks all over the robm. Mr. Burleson's face was very red and his voice, too, shook with passion, as he said: "With all respect to tho speaker of this house, am I to understand the speaker de clines to obey the mandate of this house? Have not these warrants been Issued?" "Warrants were Issued," shouted the speaker, "under the rules, for the summon ing of each of th absentees." "I mean the warrants ordered by this house to be given to Joe Slnnott, who was appointed by this house a special assistant sergeant-at-arms," persisted Mr. Burleson. "The chair has no knowledge of any Joe Slnnott, whoever he may be," retorted the speaker, with scornful deliberation. "I submit the speaker Is as much bound," Shouted the Texan, "to carry out the will of this house when there Is not a quorum as when there is a quorum." Then followed a lively Interchange, par ticipated In by Messrs, Underwood of Ala bama, Olmstead of Pennsylvania, James of Kentucky and the speaker, the latter evidently suppressing his emotions with much difficulty. The end ot it was the speaker refused to recognize the authority of less than a quorum to Issue any warrants for anybody. "Less than a quorum has no powers in this respect save those conferred upon It by the rules. Such a warrant as that re quested (the speaker carefully emphasised the word 'requested') by' the gentleman from Texas and the members less than a quorum would be null and void and would be no protection to Mr. Joe Slnnott who ever he may be. "The speaker will hesitate long before performing a ministerial duty under the rules otherwise than prescribed by the rules." The Speaker then modified his aggressive tone, and continued, remarking that the long night vigil had evidently led certain members to be somewhat careless In the use of language srvl to cant suspicion upon faithful employe.- EASTER .

V "I have never known a quorum to be obtained In the early morning hours or before daybreak," he said. By this time the heat noticeably cooled; there was some desultory argument, but everybody seemed to lose Interest thereafter In tho new assistant sergeant-at-arms and his unsigned warrants. Still "o Qoornm. The house thought It had a quorum about 7:80 a. m. and Mr. Olmstead (republican) of Pennsylvania moved to suspend opera tions under the call of the house. The hands of the big round clock in the back of the hall Indicated 8 o'clock when the roll, call was concluded. It was evi dent to the most casual observer that the Olmstead motion had been lost, but there was no hurry In announcing the result. It required some time for the clerks to make their tally and the speaker himself showed no disposition to expedite matters. At last he stated the motion had been defeated, 24 to 93, with 29 present but not voting. -A, weary yawn from the democratic side of the house, which was audible through out the chamber, constituted the most animated demonstration that greeted the announcement At this hour "Uncle Joe" was still at the helm. He appeared slightly worried, but the carnation which had graced his lapel yesterday was still fresh and his voice was not tho least bit husky. Mr. Mann raised the point of no quorum, but apparently the speaker was not cer tain of the footing of even as close a friend as the Chicago member, whose hair had not been combed for twenty-four hours, and he refused to entertain the point. He held that as the house was then undergoing the process of a call, the point could not be entertained. Speaker Stays at Post. "There Is a quoium of record," he said, "but It does not materialize." He then stated that no business could be transacted so long as there was not a sufficient num ber to meet the requirements of parlia mentary practice, immediately the hoime thinned out Probaly not fifty members were left in their seats and some of them were asleep, some read the morning papers, others gathered in groups wearily discuss ing the situation. The speaker held his post, Idly toying with his gavel with the same fondness often manifested by an old hunter towards a gun with which he has brought down much game. Some of his democratic friends took advantage of the opportunity, and going to his side, Joined In Jovial conversation. Admittedly It was the lull before the storm. All storts of things were predicted before the close of the day and members generally were preparing for a strenuous time. "There will be some snake killing before the day Is over," said Champ Clark as he sat In his Beat rubbing his tired eyes. Many, Including the speaker went to breakfast. Even Republican Whip Pwiffht wandered out for a brief rest and was found asleep In a quiet corner. Some one cruelly woke him to crack a Joke at his expense. Ho defended himself against the charge of not having his republican co horts In attendance by saying that the re sponsibility for the "white man's burden" had been taken from his shoulders and turned over to the sergeant-at-arms. The speaker ate sparingly. He ordered bread sticks, a large cup of coffee and two hard boiled eggs. Ilrportere Keep Boar. That the "day" which had begun at noon yesterday had been an exciting one was shown by the official reporters' notes. They had taken down 146.000 words, more than three times the average, and none of them had a wink of sleep. At 9:30 a. m., Representative Norris of Nebraska, asserted his confidence of a majority of from 16 to 10 for his resolution. "We will beat them," he said. "There la no doubt of the result unless there Is some legerdmatn." Minority Leader Champ Clark who stayed at his post all night, made the same pre diction, adding that It was the most re markable struggle In the history of con gress. " . Caaaoa Aeeaaed f Aaarckf, "The speaker of this house is maintain ing a state of anarchy here." shouted Rep resentative Shackleford of Missouri, shortly before 12 o'clock. Mr. Moore of Pennsylvania was in the chair and had Just rapped the house to order, after members had been singing, There Will be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" "The sergeant-at-arms alts here," con tinued Mr. Shackleford, "and makes no effort to perform his duty because the h.-i rrlvctely directed him to pur ue this course of non-action. But the ser- gant-st-arms Is bound to arrest absentees and bring them In here. When he refuses to do that, he Is bringing anarchy upon us. Because the speaker finds that he Is not able to dominate the majority of this house he hss refused to have a quorum brought Into this house." 'Gentlemen on this floor were routed out of their beds ti rome here." Interposal Mr. Coudrey Of Mlsseurl. "Why did the cergeant-at arms come to my room and get me and leave undis turbed twenty or thirty other members who were living nearby7" Inquired Mr. Shackleford. Representative Tayne coming on the floor referred to Mr. Shackleford's remarks as a "harangue." "I hope the winds of the caves will cease for a few minutes," fhouted Mr. Payne across the aisle toward the Missouri mem ber. Mr. Payne Makes Changes. "The gentleman with twenty or thirty of his confederates does not." Mr. Payne be gan. "Mr. Sptakerl Mr. Speaker!" shouted Mr. Shackleford, who objected to bring referred to as having twenty or thirty "confed erates." They were not my confederates," he declared. "They were the confederates of the speaker of this house and I make the point of order that the gentleman Is In correct when he says they were my confederates." 'I do not think anybody on this side of the house would associate with the gentle man from Missouri," continued Floor Leader Payne. The gentleman from Missouri haa sneaked in here while there was a call of the House without being recorded." A scene of confusion followed this charge. Mr. Shackelford going before the speaker's desk, declared that he was there ready to answer any charge. He Insisted that he had been present In the house during twenty-four hours, excepting two hours he had gone to get some sleep. Again Mr. Shackelford charged the speaker with having filibustered to the detriment of the house business. "He has refused to perform the functions he took an oath to perform," shouted Mr. Shackelford. fleers for Two Honrs. At 2 o'olock this afternoon the house, after sitting for twenty-six hours, took a recess for two hours by a vote of 161 to 151. Nine Insurgents voted with the regu lars in order to get time in which to con sider the compromise upon which all parties have been working. Cheers, mostly from the republican aide, greeted the vote to take a recess. Both the democrats and Insurgents denied that the vote Indicated any loss of strength what ever on the main proposition at Issue. ' Representative Charrfp Clark said: "This little recess means nothing. The fight Is still on and when the final vote Is taken It will show that the other side of the house is licked." Representative fcnderwood said that tho democrats voted against a recess, because they conslderod that the fight was won and that no compromise was necessary and no conference on any subject required. Even the regulars did not claim victory. The Insurgents who voted with the regu lars for a recess were Representatives Kendall, Pickett and Woods of Iowa, Kln kald of Nebraska, Miller and Volstead of Minnesota and Parsons, Fish and Foelker of New York. Representative Norrls, leader of the in surgents and author of the resolution be fore the house, stated that these Insurgents had been released from their .pledges and allowed to ,vote for a recess ln order to further the compromise under considera tion. . The recess was ordered after an Im portant conference of regular republicans. Insurgents and democrats ended without tangible result. , At the meeting was debated the question of compromise, whlth had been submitted by the insurgents" to the regulars in the nature of an ultimatum. Their proposition was that the house proceed to elect ' a house rules committee of either ten or fifteen members, on which all factions were to have representatives, each side to elect its own committeemen. The speaker was to be denied a place thereen. Personnel of Conference. Th conference occurred between Messrs. Gardnr, Hayes, Norrls and Lenroot for the Insurgents and Representatives Champ Clark and Underwood for the democrats. It waa agreed by them that the proposi tion was satisfactory. Immediately after ward followed a lengthy conference be tween the Insurgent leaders and Repre senatlves Dalzell and Smith of the regu lars. No definite conclusion was reached and the men finally left the room, worn and haggard and almost exhausted. It was understood Messrs. Smith and Dalzell de clined to accede to the proposition sub mitted, but wished to confer further with the leaders before finally refusing. From one of the most intimate friends of the speaker came the startling state ment that If the Norrls resolution was passed Speaker Cannon would resign and that the regulars would vote with the democrats for the election of Champ Clark as speaker rather than Side with the In surgents for the selection of one of their choosing. This startling statement was denied by other frlenda of the speaker. Regulars Look Dejected. Every hour added to the great weariness of the members who had been In the thick of the combat for twenty-four hours. De jection was written on the faces of many ot the regular republican leaders and It was plain that they believed they were in a hopeless and permanent minority In the house and at best v. ere only prolonging In evitable dethronement Representative Daliell was frequently be sieged by republican members to allow a vote on a recess, but he declined to con sent or consider that matter so :ong as the negotiations were continuing with the in surgents as a possible compromise. Hurry calls sent out by republican and democratic whips resulted In a good many additions to the attendance In the house today. Seventeen members showed up in response ten regulars, one Insurgent and six democrats. The republicans were Mc Call of Massachusetts, Simons of New York, M. E. Drlscoll of New York. Moon of Pennsylvania, Tener of Pennsylvania, Campbell of Kansas, Denby of Michigan, Nye of Minnesota, Burke of Pennsylvania and Foelker of New York. The insurgent, or, rather, near-Insurgent, was Representative Parsons of New York. Rhlnock of Kentucky, Alexander of Mls hourl, Talbert of Maryland, Boehne of In diana, Hobson of Alabama and i'uu of North Carolina were the democrats. Stand by the Sneaker. . At 8 o'clock this afternoon Representa tives Norris, Hayes, Gardner and Lenroot ot the insurgents left the conference in Representative Gardner's room and went to the ways and means committee room, where they met the committee ot the regu lars in a conference on the compromise proposition. It is proposed to have the present rules, committee bring In a special rule providing for a new rules committee of ten members, to be chosen by the houae, with the speaker left off. The regular so far have refused to consent to the elimination . of the speaker. It was at this hour that the two faction were far front any agreement Mr. Tawney left the room and conferred with Speaker Cannon and Mr. Payne, and TF the coat fits put it on."

'Liater Representative Tawney again left the conference room and after a few mln utes returned with Representative Payne, Daliell and Bmlth. Dalzell and Smith are members of the present rules committee. Mr. Bartlett of Georgia, on making tho point of order, that the motion to take a reoess was not privileged after the speaker announced he waa prepared to rule, Mr. Cannon sustained the point of order. Motion Passes to Adjourn. The entire membership of the house was present and various motions were made for . the purpose of obtaining an immedi ately ruling and others to postpone the ruling until tomorrow. Finally the motion by. Mr. Calnea of West Virginia, that the ruling- be postponed, until 13:06 o'clock to morrow was put to. the house and the- roll was called. ' The effect of this motion would be to carry the question into another legislative day, all previous motions being for a post ponement to 11:65 o'clock, which would continue the present legislative day. By a vote of 164 to 150 the house agreed to defer the ruling until tomorrow. As soon as the result was announced routine matters were taken from the speak er's desk and proceeded with as though the house had not ben in combat for twenty eight hours. Several conference reports, among them the white slave bill, were agreed to by the house. Upon motion of Mr. Gaines of West Vlr glnta the house at 4:48 o'clock adjourned until tomorrow at 11 o'olock. Firemen Make Little Headway With Mediation CHICAGO. March . After two days of almost continuous argument the mediation between the representative of 27,000 fire men and the general managers of forty seven western railroads was still uncon eluded up' to a late hour tonight. It was Btated the ihearlng would probably be continued tomorrow and It would be lm poesslble to tell when the federal mediators would complete their work. ., That the firemen are anxious for a prompt decision was made known by W. S. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Looomotlce Firemen and Englnemen, who said the unions plan to call a strike next Monday morning had not been abandoned. It was learned that the railroads are still determined to stand "pat" on their refusal to submit to arbitration certain rules governing dlolpllne and authority with Martin A. Knapp, chairman of tho Inter state Commerce Commission, and C. P. Nelll, United States Labor Commissioner were confident the mediation would result In a clear understanding as to what shall be arbitrated. The government officials, however, declined to comment on the situation.
