E Tie? fin an Amendment That Gries Them Great Power, ' SEVERAL IMPOST AST MOTIONS The House Is Vpsetllng nil Precedents by Taking Power Out of the If amis of ' j Committees. Associated Press. Washington, Aug. 31. The silver men stole a march on their opponents In' the house today and gained a vic tory which makes It impossible for the gold men to impose any consideration of bimetallic or financial legislation that may be reported by th ecommlt tees on coinage, weights, and meas ures, and banking and currency during the coming session. The time-honored custom in the house has been to make the reports of the committees on ap propriations and ways and means priv ileged matters at. all times, 'tnd when the new rules were being considered today Springer, chairman of the com mittee on banking and currency, sud denly sprung an amendment extending the same privilege to the committee on banking and currency. Kllgore Im mediately followed with' an amend ment also yielding to the committee on coinage, and although these amend ments were sharply opposed, th elast was adopted by a ' vote of 113 to 85, and the original rule as amended was adoptad by a vote of nearly two to ore. Not until It was all over did tho, members of the house generally real ize the immense victory gained by the blmetalllBts. Under this rule tho com mittee on coinage can 'report the b.U ver bill at any time a"nd force' its con sideration by the house, and the com mittees on hanking and currency will enjoy the same faculties for forcing Its measures to a vote-in, th ehouse. Incidentally, also, the house, by; the adoption of these amendments, ; has broken away from the leadership of the committee on rules, presided over by Speaker Crisp, and has declared that it shall no longer be In power to say that the committee to determine whether free coinage bills shall be ac corded consideration, or whether the attention of the house shall be directed to other legislation. Amendments to Increase the membership of the com mittee on rules were loBt. An amend ment was adopted giving the commit tee on ways, and means Jurisdiction over all measures purporting to raise the revenue. Several other amendments affecting committees were lost. A mo tion to strike out from the proposed rules the cUubo vhlch permits the speaker to decide what la a dilatory motion was discussed at length, pro and con, and was finally rejected. An amendment was offered which put It In the power of any member who Is In charge of any proposition on the floor to propose the cloture at any time that he thinks It advisable to do bo. The previous question was ordered on the amendment, und, pending fur ther action, the house adjourned. AN INTERNATIONAL QUESTION Washington, Aug. 31.
