(Prom a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. March 20. (Special Tele
gram ) Nebraska yesterday played a moat
ccnsplcuou part In what I believed to
be an epoch In the hlatory of congress In
this country. Judge George W. Norrls of
tha Firth district, unexpectedly to the
regular of the republican organization,
put over a resolution of the, highest con
stitutional privilege Thursday, changing
the rules . of the house so 0r as the
composition of Its committee on rulea Is
concerned by creating a committee of fif
teen to be selected from various geographi
cal divisions among the membership and
eliminating the speaker from the commit
tee. The confusion and consternation
which that resolution ' created Is history.
Today's proceedings wrltfi into the legis
lative procedure of the house of represen
tatives an absolutely new condition far the
house by It own action recasts the com
mittee on rulea so that Jn the future It Is
to be compoeed of ten persons. alx of
whom shall be of the majority- party and
four of the minority, to be chosen by the
house, but the speaker shall not be a
member of the committee.
Norrla Led to Victory.
Judge Nerds, who Introduced his waiting
resolution' constituting . a' rules committee
of fifteen members, was Induced, after ha
l.a.d won a substantial triumph yesterday,
&. listen to the voice of compromise, not
from the regulars particularly, but from
his friends In the so-called Insurgent ranks
of the republican party, and make the com
mittee ten members, six republicans and
four democrat. While he believes that
fifteen meinbets would have been better
than ten, and would more nearly represent
the entire country, geographically than ten
members can,' he acquiesced in the proposi
tlon and the Norrls amendment presented
by himself brought about the elimination
of the speaker, Joseph G. Cannon, from the
position, of chairman of the rulea commit
tee, which .has been held by the speaker
for thirty years, and his exclusion from
membership on the committee 'overturning
a condition which extends over three
quarter of a century.
Partisans of the "regular" republicans,
most followers of the democratic, party and
adherents of the "insurgents" In the house
will each claim" a victory In today's result.
What the country will decide Is a wholly
different thing.
Cannon Still Speaker.
The fact remains that Joseph G. Cannon
by a vote of 191 to 155, was given an en
dorsement such as lias never come to any
other speaker. Flushed with victory, Burle
tcn of Texas offered a resolution demand
ing his' resignation, after Speaker Cannon
had declared that one of two conditions
faced him, to resign or to entertain
motion that his seat be declared vacant,
In cither event the house stood faoe to
face with a proposition of electing a new
speaker or showing Itself satisfied with
existing conditions, and when the vote was
being taken It Is doubtful whether any
greater interest was shown In the vote on
the declaration of ' waf"wllh Spain,- when
the McKlnley tariff bill was on Its passage
after a period of financial depression which
Is remembered by those who suffered there
from or in the passage of the Wilson
Gorman bill, which stretches time back
nulte a number of years and beyond to the
leconstructlon period of our history. The
Burleson resolution was rejected.
It wan worth while lo live and to witness
a day like this. It had all the elements of
a great dramatic setting. A great drama
ws.s played, and while Us finish may not
bo satisfactory to many because of a vote
of confidence that was given to Speaker
Cannon the thousands will believe that
justice was done and Congressman Norrls
showed hlreself In a new light and marked
nut for himself a place in the house of
representatives through his able and die
eliminating management of a very remark
able phase in legislative procedure.
CANNOVS REASONS FOR RULE
Speaker Reads Extended Statement to
Hons Members.
WASHINGTON. March 20.-Speaker Can
non's announcement of the result of his de
liberations In the house cam at the
conclusion of a typewritten statement giv
Ing the reasons for his position in ruling
the resolution of Congressman Norr( of
Nebraska not In order.
"It has been held always," he said, "that
tbi4 ordinary legislative dotles and func
MCvx of tlie house, exorcised by authority
of the constitution, must proceed according
to the order prescribed by the rules. The
fact that the constitution says the house
hall have power to 'lay taxes, regulate
commerce, make naturalisation laws, coin
money, establish postof flees, create courts,
support armies and a navy,' etc., haa not
given these subjects, when embodied In
bills, any right to disturb the order of busi
ness provided by the rules. The very ob
ject ot the rules Is to provide, in an orderly
may, for considering those and other sub
Jeots entrusted to the house's Judgment.
"To she all those subjects constitutional
privilege would be to establish constitu
tional chaos In the house.
"There were, however, certain functions
which the constitution enjoins congress to
do and for the doing of which It fixed the
time. Among these requirements was tha
one that congj s shall provide for a census
ct population and an apportionment of rep
resentatives. Whether that construction
proceeds too far when the constitution
gave a year within which to perform the
duty Is a matter as to which there might
he doubt. But for thirty years the practice
had been unvarying."
Hence, when confronted with the question
this week, he said, the chair had followed
the practice of the house as he would obey
every other rule, without questioning the

wisdom that originally created It. He then
proceeded :
"Today, however, the chair Is asked to
permit a proposition for a new rule to
come In, although the rulea prescribing the
order of business require us to proceed to
other matters, and It Is claimed that the
choir would be Justified In doing this be
cause the constitution says that 'each
houre may determine the rulea of Ita pro
ceeding.' Whether the word 'may' means
'shall' or not, the chair will not stop to
examine.
"The constitution fixes no time when It
shall be done, and as the house may, as It
ha In one notable Instance, proceed with
out rules. It does not seem to the chair that
there ts here given any constitutional man
date which would Justify the overriding of
the rulea.
'Fortunately, In thla crisis, the chair Is
not compelled to rely on his own Judgment,
swayed as It might be by the passions and
purposes of this house. He can look back
to another hour when. In a day of calm,
the navigators who steered the business of
this house took their latitude and longitude
unembarrassed by the exigencies of the
tempest.
"The pathway of the chair has been
biased not by any flushed majority In a
moment of factional success, nor for any
ends of one (political party as opposed to
tha wishes of another political party, not
under auspices which prejudice the chair
because of memories of political affiliations
of his own, but on a question of order
raised by a great democratic floor leader
In this house and decided by a great dem
ocratic apeaker.
On December 13, 187S, this Identical ques
tion arose In the house. Mr. Roger Q. Mills
of Texas proposed on a question of con
stitutional privilege, exactly as Is proposed
today, to offer from the floor for Immedi
ate consideration a proposition looking to
the amendment of the rules, and when ob
Jectlon was made, as it Is today, Mr. Mills
argued:
" 'It ts the constitutional privilege of
a house of representatives to adopt rules
at anv time; It Is a continuing power of
which the house cannot divest itself.'
"The members of the house did not
asree with Mr. Mills, and Mr. James A.
Garfield objected that it was proposed
to carry the power in this respect further
than the constitution Justifies. If the
position of the gentleman were correct
a member could at any time Interrupt our
proceedings by bringing In a proposition
for the amendment of the rules.
"The great democratic spealoeiv and!
the chair measures his words in mem
ory of the fame of a man who was the
peer of his associates, the great Speaker
Samuel J. Randall heard the arguments
for and against the claim of Mr. Mills
and decled the proposition to amend the
rules was not a case of constitutional
privilege. There was criticism, grave
criticism, of the rulea in those days, as
there Is today; but no man in that house
thought of appealing from a decision bo
consonant with reason.
"Planting himself upon the law made
for the house by Mr. Speaker Randall
appealing from the passions of this day
tc the Juat reasons of that day, the chair
sustains the point of order, and holds
that the resolution Is not now in order,

Speaker Hurls
Defiance Into
Enemy's Camp
Bitter Denunciation Made by Cannon
on "House Majority" at Illinois
Banquet.
WASHINGTON, March 20. With eyes
glowing defiance and voice thundering at
his enemies with all the day's pent-up
bitterness. Speaker Cannon made a vitriolic
ttack on the "house majority" at the an
nual dinner of the Illinois Republican asso
ciation tonight.
Ills face was worn from the force of the
terrific assault made upon him and his
voice lucked Ks old Jauntlness and
resonance. He was "Uncle Joe" In fight
ing trim.
A startling statement made by the
power-shorn, but defiant, speaker was
that the republicans no longer have a ma
jority In the senate.
'My God," he cried with great solemnity,
"suppose this 150 pounds of common clay
should drop dead tonight, what would the
newspapers and magaslnes do then? My
daughters, grandchildren, my son-in-law
would be sorry. But the balance of the
world would not have time to be sorry.
There never waa a truer word said than 'let
the dead bury Us dead.' If that were not
true then the world would be one vast
house of mourning.
'I know people who think they monopo
lize the wlrea from the earth up to the
great white throne. They don't give the
majority of us a chance. They have cure
alls, they think God and one constitute a
majority, forgetting that God alone 1s a
majority and can do without their help.
We're thankful for Christian morality.
Once In a while we find people who have
a monopoly of all knowledge and therefore
should be indicted and prosecuted under
the Sherman anti-trust law.
It's uncomfortable sometimes to live In
a government by the people. There will
always be some who are feeble minded,
abnormal Insane, or, to use a shorter and
more common word, are cranks. But we've
got to have them.
"There was a new majority made today.
It consisted of the democrats and a 15 per
cent slough from the . republican party.
They destroyed the committee on rules.
A resolution was presented declaring the
office of speaker vacant Then what did
these men do who have been denouncing
my personality, these stmon-puro followers
of Senator LaFollotte, do then. Only eight
of them had thi courage of their convic
tions. The result was that, while I was
elected speaker by a majority of twenty
six last March they refused to turn me
out by a majority of thlrty-alx.
"That was the way this republican slough
started out In new attendance. And the
Sunday papers will be out In the morning
with stories about the end of Cannonlsm
and ciarism and perhaps a few of them
will say what I said about the house being
simply a government by majority.
"This combination abolished the committee
on rules, which has after all, the power to
report to the house, although some seem to
think It Is like the blblcal example of 'Let
there be light and there was light' Tou in
Washington know differently. But the
people in the country apparently believe
the uplifting magazines and the cowardly
members of congress who wrought such
havoc today. I am thankful I belong to
the party of Lincoln and Grant and Gar
field, and Roosevelt, and Taft, and when
ever any charge is made upon It, whether
from pulpit or magazine or' Chautauqua
circuit, I will defend it. I would rather
keep the republican faith and fall than to
march with men who would disrupt the re
publican party.
"The country believes we have a ma
jority of forty-four In the house, whereas
we have none. Nor have we a majority In
the senate. But this news Is not given to
the country by certain publicists. They
suppress It and distort it and talk only
about Cannonlsm and the defeat and re
buke of the czar today.
"Some of us pray for the mlllenlum. But
I do not want it to come at any time unless
the Almighty reaches down His. finger and
changes the human animal."

A Week of Records.
The week closing Saturday, in the South
Omaha live stock circles, has been one of
record breaking on nearly every line. The
highest prices ever paid were offered for
hogs, sheep and certain grades of cattle.
The price of hogs struck the highest point
Friday and Saturday when the best brought
110.76. The average was also higher than
ever before. In spite of the high prices the
receipt ot hogs continues to fall below the
record of last year. At present the de
crease Is 115,000. The Indications are there
fore that the year will be light In receipts
and that prices will continue ' high. The
prices paid for sheep were unequalled.
Lambs sold as high as S10.10, which is a
record many cents higher than any previous
year. Cattle sold for . feeders Friday at
$6.90 which was a record price for that
grade. Thursday SS waa paid for good
beef steers. The best feature of the cattlo
market la the steady increase of receipts
over last year. , The increase to date la
nearly 20,000. Last year waa a record year
eo It Is likely that 1910 will be the banner
year In cattle.

Lincoln Players
Capture Second
One from Omaha
Fast and Strenuously Fought Contest
Goes to Visitors by Score of
19 to 17.
Lincoln High school defeated Omaha
High school for the second time this season
Saturday In one of the hottest contests
seen even In the history of the games of
these two rivals for championship honors.
The score made was 19 to Omaha's 17. Both
teams had been preparing and practicing
for thla game for the last four weeks, ever
since Omaha lost a game to Lincoln on
Lincoln's grounds a month ago.
The largest crowd of the year was out
to witness the contest and wildly enthusi
astic rooting was the result all through the
game. The hope of Omaha and Its sup
porters waa .kept up to tha very last mo
ment of play, as Lincoln waa only able to
keep Its lead of 4 few points and try as It
might could not Increase It. A good many
of the Omaha rooters were unable to see
the Justice of Referee Mitchell's rulings
when they were unfavorable and the yell
ing and hooting became so great a couple
of times during the game that tlmo had
to be called until the disturbance could
be quelled.
The team work of both teams was ex
cellent, In fact, so good that many college
organizations would have been proud of It,
and at times the ball woald be run back
and forth across the floor several times
before It went In the basket or outside the
lines. The speed with which the Lincoln
men moved across the floor and their really
admirable footwork all' through the game
was one of the principal features.
Omaha would often take the ball from
under Lincoln's goal and by a series of
quick passes would bring It almost under
Its own goal, but was hardly ever able to
get It near enough or to take the proper
time necessary for goal shooting before
the fast Lincoln guards would have shot
it back across the floor to Lincoln's goal
again. The two Mann brothers worked to
gether perfectly as a pair of guards and
showed Omaha the best example of scien
tific guarding seen here thla year.
Both halves of the contest were very
rough for high school games and many
fouls were called on both teams. Lineup:

CflERRING TON IS HUSTLING
StriTing- to Round His Athletes Into
Shape for Approaching Meets.
OUTLOOK IS MOST PROMISING
Hones to Win from noth llti
neaota and Kansas In Una!
.Meets and to Shine at
Omaha.
LINCOLN. March SO. (Special.) Tha
Cornhusker track athletes are rallying to
the call of Coach Ben Cherrlngton, the
Omaha boy who was this week elected to
drill the candidates for rlnder path honors,
and It now begins to look as though the
Nebraska aggregation would bo in form
this spring to take more honois than Di
rector Clapp had expected a few weeks
iigo when ho took a preliminary Inventory
of the valuable material In the school.
A meeting of all aspirants for the track
team was held yesterday afternoon and It
brought out practically all the men In the
university who wish to win the coveted
"N." Coach Cherrlngtor. has taken hold of
the track work .with the enthusiasm that
characterized his success with the Omaha
High athletes last spring. He has iom ex
cellent material for most of the track
events, but he has discovered that com
petent men are larking In the field games.
He has started a campaign to secure men
for the events In which the Cornhuskers
are weak and expects to get Several can
didates for all the events before 'the lat
ter end of next week In order that he
may drill the new men to fill places that
are lacking In old timber.
The Cornhusker coach will be up against
strong opposition in both of the dual meets
this spring. Minnesota and Kansas, the
two teams that are to be met In the
dual games, are "laying" for Nebraska
this season, and It will take a mighty
! powerful squad of Nebraska athletes to
defeat either of them.
At Minnesota Coach Grant, a Harvard
man, Is, working with the Gophers for the
second year. . Last season he was with the
northern school, and under his directions
the Gophers Improved many per cent in
their work over the showing they made
In the games the yenr before. "Dick"
Grant has gone into the work this year
determined that tils men shall defeat Ne
braska, a trick they have not accom
plished during the last ten .years. He has
several veterans on his squad, and is dally
drilling them Into shape.
In the village of Lawrence, Kan., tha
Jayhawkers are also getting Into form for
the invasion of their territory by the
Cornhuskers. They are still smarting un
der the sting of defeat that was handed
out to them last spring, when the Corn
huskers took the annual dual meet by the
margin of a single point. Their team Is
practically a veteran bunch,' and It will
take some excellent work on the part of
Coach Cherrlngton to get his Cornhuskars
Into shape to whip the Kansas squad on
Its own field.
Just at the present time, though, the
Nebraska coach Is paying much attention
to getting his athletes ready for the Indoor
meet at Omaha. . He has several Indi
vidual stars whom he thinks he can train
Into condition for taking off Beveral points
against all other contestants on April 1.
Since his election,' Monday, he has been
spending considerable time with the men
who will be placed In the Omaha games,
and he has ordered them to train hard.
All the men on the squad have been
taking advantage of the warm 'weather
during the last thr'e,e,wecks and, they should
be In excellent form for the Omaha meet.
The new cinder path, on Nebraska field
will be completed by the latter part of
next week If the warm, weather continues
for the' next six days. Several teams are
engaged- daily in hauling in cinders for
the circular course. - ...
