He is still speaker of the house of repre- sentatiyes, but he lost the ancient jwes- t ilge and weapon of that offlce, when the allied republican insurgents and democrats took from him not only the chairmanship of, but even member ship in, jtheall-pQwerl^l cpmmittee on rulea^ the chief asset in his st6ck of power. Amid scenes of wildest disorder, j for\the like of which one must go back to the exciting days just prior to the civil war-—perhaps even those times mlgKt not duplicate it-r-th^ vet eran speaker, almost 74 ye^’S old, stood erect and defiant, his head “bloodied but unbowed.” Final Vote Comfort to Cannon. And at the end, when a big Texan democrat accepted' the speaker’s dar ing challenge and introduced a* reso lution to fling him ;out of the speaker ship, the republicans, regulars and in surgents, with few exceptions, rallied with almost unbroken party front and gave him a vote which almost offset the “repudiation, of Cannonism.” This is what hppened. By a vote erf 191 to 155, the repub lican insurgents voting solidly with the democrats, the house adopted the resolution of Representative Norris (republican, Nebraska), requiring a reorgaiHzation of the rules .commit tee, increasing its membership from five to ten and declaring the speaker ineligible to membership thereon. - By the curiously identical vote of 119 to 155—but with a decidedly dif ferent personnel of alignment—the house defeated a resolution of Repre sentative Burlson, of Toxas, declaring the speakership vacant end orderng an Immediate electlcu of a successor to Mr. Cannoii. % OXOBGB W.

Republican “Boss’* Say# New York Wants Ex-President. New Yc^rk.—Theodore Roosevelt for governor. That Is the state of the New, Tork Republican machine, according to Wil liam Barnes, Jr., of this city, who Is really the “boss” of the state ma chine. “I expect to see Theodore Rcfosevelt nominated for governor,” said Mr. Barn<»; with every appearance of sincerity, “There Is no reason why the Re publican party should not carry the state. No man Is more popular than Roosevelt; no man has proved hhnsea more capable than he. Although Col onel Roosevelt might hesitate to ac- cei^ such a nominatkm,. I believe he will be unable to withstand the tr^ mendous pressure which will come from all directions toward him to make the contest this year.” MRS. CARSON FREE.
