BY H. E. C BRTAXT. I1- m O be server Bureau. Congress Hall Hotel, Washington, May 2T. This has been a strenuous day with 8peaker Cannon, the Cxar of the House, but he is all smiles to-night. At noon to-day the currency bill was said to be In eotremts after the ef fort of the Speaker to revive It. It was rumored about that Burton, the mighty debater from Ohio, would not sirn the report of the conferees. This story may not be true. It could not be verified, but it seems plausi ble. Any way Cannon became . agi tated about an hour afteT the House convened and sent messengers flying here and there for persons known to be close to him. His secretary waa called and that bonv red fist of the Sneaker was oopped in the otner nana In" Bussey's face. Cannon was giving hurry orders. Bussey, the secretary left on the ran. Two seconds later Mr. Cannon called some one to the chair and dodged out the back Way.. It was easy to see that the old Tar Heel was in bad humor. Something had gone wrong. "Burton will not sign the currency bill," said some. This report e came current in the House. Later, howsver. after Mr&nnpn hao .thrown several flta, the name of Burton Was written there. "Taft was sent ror io appeal to Burton," declared Demo crats. As a matter of fact. Secretary Taft was seen In thr neighborhood of Cannon's room, with his hat In his hand, junt before Burton Is said to have anxed his signature. The bill came around. It passed the House and is now In the Senate. Senator Clay, who will open tne de bate to-morrow, with a speech of for ty mlutes, said (his afternoon that the minority was going to discuss the bill until Monday night and then let it pass. This is aooui ijie uuro It will take. Cannon haa won thus far The showing made in the prohibi tion election InteresU a few people here. Some have gone so far as to take not of the different results in the counties of the two leading cand idates for Governor. Mr. Craigs county la the banner "dry" county and Mr. Kltchlna county w..l These remarks are based on reports that reached here to-day. THE MEETI2WJ OF PUBLISHERS.
