amendment makes three important
vlump.es. First. t establishes a. "calen
dar for unanlmmu consent." the effect
of which is to enable a member to have
a proposition brought before . the House
without having to. fro to the. Speaker for
recognition. This change, they say. will
b a relief to the Speaker.
Second, when consideration of a bill is

ables them to got a record vote on prop

no record vote Is possible.
Third, it protects the calendar Wednes
day by requiring a two-thirds vote in
stead of a majority vote to set it aside
' Fourth. It is said that the amendment
111 have the effect of .preventing favor
itism by the action of the comnilttee on
rules In special cases.
Cannon Likes Changes.
A prominent feature of the Clark res
olution was an amendment providing for
k committee of 15 to revise, amend and
fodirj- the rules, and much of the oppo
sition to It was because of this fact. As
adopted. the Fitzgerald amendment
makes no change in the present method
of selecting the rules committee nor is
there any change in the method of se
lecting committees.
Cannon is inclined to regard the amend
ment as a slight improvement on the
present rules, in that, instead of throw
ing the responsibility for recognition on
him, it sets aside certain In v.
Piderlng measures under unanimous con
sent: but. he says, under the new rules
members will have to wait for those
days.
Triumph Over Bryanism.
- In a conversation soon after the action
f the House he commented freely on
the fact that Mr. Bryan had Interfered
in the Interest of the changes submitted
by Clark, and spoke of the adoption of
the Fitzgerald substitute aa a triumph
over the Bryan forces, saying the con
servative Democrat! who really want
legislation had stood for the old rules
with the amendments offered by Fitz
gerald. .."It was." ne said, "a protest by the
conservatives against Populism and all
kindred things."
Few Vote. Against Cannon.
The election of House officers preceded,
the action on the rules. Joseph G.
Cannon was re-elected Speaker, receiv
ing 2H votes, as against 166 for Champ
Clark, of Missouri, 8 for Cooper of Wis
consin, 2 for Norris of Nebraska and
1 each for Esch of Wisconsin and W. P.
HiHiburn of Iowa, an ex-member. All
the Democratic members voted for
Clark, so that the scattering vote rep
resented the Republican defection from
Cannon.
The whips of both sides -were kept busy
holding their following In the chamber,
looking down from the galleries was a
Kreat throng, who had been admitted
only by card. The diplomatic and ex
ecutive galleries were filled to overflow
ing. One of the most Interested specta
tors was Mrs.. Taft.
All the Republican caucus nominees
were elected, no changes being made in
the personnel.
The dissenting Republican votea were
cast as follows:
For Cooper Hubbard (la,).
(Wls.l, Morse IWts.), Kelson
f oinoexter t ash.). Murdock
Cory (Wis.), Davis (Minn.).
For Ksch Kopp (Wis.).
For Morris Hinshaw (Xeb.)
: For Hepburn Lindbergh (Minn.).
Cannon having been escorted to the
chair by Clark (Mo.). Campbell (Kan.),
and Bartlett (Go.), addressed the House
as follows:
Will Be. Difficult Session.

Ppeaker, which I now have for the fourth
time, ny virtue or your confidence and

"We have before us a most Important
and difficult session of Congress. The
adjustment of the National revenues has
been since the foundation of the Govern
ment a fundamental question, yielding to
none otner in importance.
"We must subordinate personal feel
ings to the general good, trusting to the
Judgment of the people for approval of
our work when it shall have been com
pleted."
As senior member of the. House.
P.ingham. of Pennsylvania, administered
the oath to the Speaker, who in turn
swore in the members.
All the Republican caucus nominees for
the various offices of the House were re
elected. The usual committees were appointed
to notify the Senate and the President
that .he House was ready for business.
Dalzell Opens Rules right.
The attention of all the members was
concentrated on the adoption of the rules.
Dalzell rose to offer the usual reso
lution providing that the rules of the pre
vious Congress should govern the present
Congress.
"And on that motion I move the previ
ouh qu;.!rion." he said quickly.
It had been understood for weeks that
this motion, designed to shut off debate,
would be the signal for the long-threatened
tight on the rules. Clarke de
manded the ayes and noes before
Dalsell had regained his seat, while Fitz
gerald, under the guise of making a par-llMii!itary-4nci.ulry
of the chair, asked to
hRve'vTio rules explained.
The Speaker promptly held the question
out of order and refused to recognize
Fitzgerald further. The Democrats. led
by Clark, forced a roll call on Dalzell's
motion. Duringthe call of the roll Town
send of Michigan sought to make a state
ment in "explanation of his vote." The
Speaker held that he could not do so.
Townaend then voted? ."present."
' The previous question " was ordered
yeas 1SH. nays 1S8. present 1. Mighty
shouts went up from the .RepubHoan side,
many members standing-ou chairs -and
appiauamg, shrieking and otherwise'
manifesting their delight at the defeat of
the "insurgents."
On the adoption of the resolution (to
adopt the rule of the Sixtieth Congress)
the Democrats forced another roll-call,
but before this was begun the Speaker,
Champ Clark and Fitzgerald became in
volved in a. controversy over a request by
Clark for a recapitulation of the last vote.
The Speaker refused to enter Jnto the
proposition, and sharply directed the
clerk to proceed -with the call.
The tote resulted: Ayes, 1S9; noes, 19S.
The following 31 Republicans voted in the
negative :
Boll of Insurgents.
Cary, Cooper, Davidson. Kopp, Kues
termann. Lenroot, Nelson and Morse,
Wisconsin: Fowler, New Jersey; Gardner
and Ixivering, Massachusetts; Gronna,
North Dakota: Hayes. California; Hol

Hubbard, Kendall, Pickett and Wood',
lowa; wansnaw, Kincaid and Norris, Ne
braska: Lindborgh, Davis, Steenereon
and Volsted, .Minnesota; Poindexter,
Washington.
The Democrats voting for the rules
were: Riordan, New York; Broussard
and Estopinal, Louisiana; 0"Connell,
Massachusetts.
Tovnsend of Michigan voted "present"
under an agreement with Russell of
Texas.
Conroy, . Fornes and Goldfogle, New
Tork and Moon. Tennessee, who voted
with the regular Republicans on order
ing the previous question, voted against
the adoption of the rules.
The votes of Johnson of Ohio increased
the Insurgent vote of 30 on the previous
question to 31 on the adoption of the rules.
When the vote was announced pande
monium broke out among the Democrats
and "insurgents." Their demonstration
exceeded by far the regular Republicans
when the previous question was ordered.
It was some time before order was re
stored. '
Clark's Motion to Revise Utiles.
When the noiso had subsided. Champ
Clark, am!-l Democratic cheers, offered
his resolution affecting the rules.
Clark's resolution provided that the
rules of the Sixtieth Congress be
adopted: that the Speaker appoint stand
ing committees on ways and meana.

Republicans forced n. rnlicoii
Clark's motion for the previous question,
and the call had not proceeded far when
Clark demanded that members be ordered
away from the Speaker's desk. He had
observed Dalzell on the rostrum, and
called particular attention to that fact.
mere Is a member of the House net
ting your resolution, which he has a per
fect right to have," replied Dalzell, from
the rostrum. General turmoil ensued.
Clark was insistent that Dalzell he or
dered away.
The gentleman from Missouri Is not
in order," Cannon announced.
'Oh. h I," a member remarked audi
bly, in disgust.
Ihe Speaker halted the rollcall. and
salt he did so because of the high char
acter and standing of Dalzell and Clark.
And now. he said, "the gentleman
from Pennsylvania has the form of the
resolution."
'He could have had it by nsklnir me
for a copy," hotly remsrked Clark
With warmth Dalzell interlecte1 fbot
he had a copy of the resolution, and. .so
saying, he left the rostrum and took pis
seat. The rollcall proceeded.
The motion of Clark for the previous
question was voted down, 179 to 203.
Fitzgerald and Clark Bandy Words.
Fitzgerald of New York immediately
offered a resolution modifying the pres
ent ruies. iis resolution eliminates the
present requirement of obtaining the con
sent or tne speaker for the submission
or bills under unanimous consent; re
quires that before the close of a session
of Congress all reported bills shall bo
placed on a calendar where there may
be a chance for their consideration; makes
necessary a two-thirds Instead of a ma
jority vote to set aside calendar Wednes
day, and provides for a modification of
the present power of the committee on
rules to force a vote on a bill.
Fitzgerald and Clark, both Democrats,
became involved in a sharp colloquy.
Fitzgerald had yielded to the minority
leader lor a question, but he proceeded
to propound it to Dalzell. The New Tork
member Insisted that it was an abuse of
his courtesy and that the question should
be asked of him.
"I am going to do it. and I don't want
any slack Jaw about it, either," retorted
Clark.
"I decline to yield." replied Fitzgerald
amid Republican applause.
ciarK appealed to the Speaker that
ritzceraid actually had yielded to him.
"Well. I take it back," said Fitzgerald
with some show of temper.
ju ni wisn you naa yielded, was
Clark s rejoinder.
Jig Vp With Machine.
f-itzgeraia remarked that he was not
going to be scared by any threat. He
declared no man could take advantage
or nis courtesy and then abuse him.
"I now yield to the gentleman from
Missouri, said he.
"I absolutely refuse to accept,"
sponded Clark.
w nen intzgeraid concluded, Clark got
tne iioor.
"The Jig is up with the House machine.'
he said, amid great Democratic applause.
Touching the Incident with Fitzgerald,
ne said he had entertained toward him
feelings of respect and regard, and. had
the New York member been in sympathy
with him in his ideas regarding the
amendment of the rules, Fitzgerald's
name would have been the first to be
suggested by him- for the rules com
mittee.
"I think," said Fitzgerald, "that under
the circumstances it was with the utmost
propriety that I was left off the com
mlttee."
1 think so. too. under the circum
stances," sarcastically replied Clark.
Reason for Changing Bales.
Clark declared that he regretted ex
ceedingly to part eompany with Fitz
gerald, He contended that outside the
House the demand for the change of
the rules was so strong as to force a
change, and It must come, if not now.
then later. He was friendly -personally
to the Speaker, but was opposed to his
system. He complimented the insurgent
Republicans on withstanding the com
bined influence of the House "machine."
of the President, fresh in office with the
"pap" undistributed; of all the Cabinet,
the Senate regulars and the local news
papers. He was sure that, as they had
stood against the powerful elements
they would continue to stand. He was
equally certain that the Democrats
would hold firm.
Clark yielded to Gardner of Massachu
setts, an "insurgent."
"The alliance between the insurgents
and the Democrats," remarked Gardner,
"goes merely to changeing the rules. As
to what happens when the proposed com
mittee Is appointed, there Is no under
standing." Declaring himself as believing the rules
of the last House were the best that
could be devised. Dalzell of Pennsyl

Now, at the height of the season of fashions before Easter, the makers of the NEMO corset have decided to fit and explain
the new Spring styles in NEMO corsets only in the store of their principal Portland agency, Lipman, Wolfe & Co. Mrs.
A. L. Craig, one of the most expert of all the New York corsetieres, has been sent here by the NEMO people to shew our
customers the newest models of the famous "NEMO" and "SMART SET" corsets. "Smart Set" corsets cannot he ob
tained at other Portland stores the makers wish to have them fitted only under direction of our expert corsetiere.

rons the benefit of her expert advice as to the selection of models, fitting and adjustment. She will undertake to end your
corset troubles and to give you the highest degree of corset comfort.
NEMO corsets are radically different from other corsets. Their patented features place them in a class alone. Every
NEMO has some definite function which it performs perfectly and some distinctive feature which clearly identifies it.
Every NEMO does something for you that no other corset can do there can be no substitution. Every $3.50 to $5 NEMO
corset represents at least a dollar's worth more of value, in material and making, than any other corsets selling at those

Appoint Democrats on Committees
"Without Consulting Him.
WASHINGTON, March 15. Only five
committees of the House will be named
by Speaker Cannon for the present.
These will b&--the ways and means,
rules, printing, mileage and accounts.
In making up the committees, it is
stated on reliable authority, the Speak
er will consult with "every member of
the House who desires to discuss
assignments with him." This means
that Clark, the minority leader, will
not enjoy the privilege accorded his
predecessor. John Sharp Williams, of
selecting the minority members. It
was stated today that Cannon had con
cluded that the plan was not the best
and that henceforth he would not shift
any of the responsibility for commit
tee assignments to the minority leader.
The atltudie taken by the Democrats
at a caucus this evening is In sharp
conflict with the new policy. A reso
lution was adopted to prevent members
of the minority accepting committee
appointments without approval of
Clark.

Defeat Is Dangerous

LONDON. March 15. It cannot be said
that the relations between Austria-Hungary
and Servia have yet reached a point
where an outbreak of hostilities is prob
able. Throughout the negotiations in
connection with the delicate Balkan sit
uation the Austrian idea has been to
force Servia first to acknowledge that
the question of annexing Bosnia and
Herzegovina had passed beyond the stage
where it could be made subject to a
rearrangement; and, second, to take ef
fective steps for demobilizing the troops.
The unsatisfactory side of Servia's re
ply to Count I'orgach's note, referring
the Austro-Hungarian government to
Servia's previous communication to the
powers, is the fact that it purposely
evaded these issues, thus tacitly imply
ing that the matter has been left in
the hands of the signatories of the Ber
lin treaty.
ine laiest aavices irom Vienna are
that Austria will give Servia further
time to reconsider her position. It may,
therefore, be considered that today's
developments have not greatly changed
the situation for better or for worse.

1878, Turkey is to pay Russia for 100
