SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —_— e CAUSTIC COMMENT. [A. G, Rutledge.] With her own shoulder to the wheel, Cuba will doubtless be care- ful that the wheel doesn’t make too many “revolutions” a minute. That turbulant isle has in the past main- tained a front-rank position among the chip-on-shoulder countries. Many a man who would shoulder a musket and take his place in the ranks, in the defense of his country, will grab a hammer and line up with the “anvil chorus” when some organi- zation, committee or individual desires him to put his shoulder to the wheel and help *‘boost’ a propo- sition that will benefit his home town. Don’t knock; just boost—and you'll feel better afterward. And remember that we are all human, and prone to err. “All men are liars,” said a Wis- consin professor recently. A well known biblical personage who made the same statement concerning all men admitted afterwards that he spoke in haste. The reverend gentle- men should put in a few days “lobbying” with the members of the Minnesota legislature, down at St. Paul. He would be very apt to modify the statement that he spoke in haste, especially if he was “boost- ing” a normal school proposition. SEVERE STORM ON ~ PAGIFIC COAST Traffic in Certain Secfinns k- fectually Blocked. e San Francisco, Feb. 9.—A storm now prevailing over the entire Pa- cific coast has seriously interfered ‘With railroad and telegraph communi- cation. Heavy rains have fallen in Soutbhern California, causing washouts along the ralilroad lines and carrying away the telegraph poles. There has been much snow in tho mountains and should warm weather follow there will be another rise in the rivers. Several serious washouts and land- slides on the Tehachapa grade, be- tween Bakersfield and Los Angeles, have occurred, *effectually blocking travel on the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads. This cuts off the southern part of the state from this city. In the Yosemite valley there is now three and a half feet of snow on the level and about five feet in the drifts. There 1s no indication of an abate- ment of the storm. The snowfall in the Sierras, on the line of the Bouthern Pacific between this city and Nevada points, has been very heavy. COQUELIN CADET IS DEAD Noted French Actor Survives Brother Only Two Weeks.

Nor would the president say a word toward clearing up the remarks made by the speaker of the California lower house that he was In possession of in- formation showing tkat the situation would become critical if the legisla- ture persistcd in its course. The fact that the state department ‘was represented in the conference -has excited more speculaiion than any other feature and caused the belief that certain representations - have been ade by Japan as to how she re: gards possible legislation in Califor- nia. ~Intimation was conveyed that important messages have been re- ceived from Ambassador O'Brien, our reprosentative “at Tokio, portraying the feeling there.

RESOLUTION CMPLETED,| Provides for Radical Changes for Gow erning ‘the Lower Branch ‘of Con- gress and Froposes “to ‘Limit the Power of the Speaker—Democratic' Mlnorlty Expected to Assist the In- surgents in Pushing 'tha Movement, ‘Washington, Feb. \.—The house “Insurgents,” who are agitating a change 1in’ the, rules governing that body, will shortly introduce a resolu-| ‘tion ‘providing for' radical changes, iwhich-are proposed to limit the power of the speaker. The resolution will be signed and Jointly introduced by all of those who have come out against the present .rules and-these claim that many more have expressed their intention of help- ing the movement. Because of the plank in the Democraticplatform in. the recent presidential campaign | which pledged the party in-favor of a° change in the riles of the house the “insurgents” are counting on the aid of the. minority members, although they claim no effort to join forces has been made. g The changes proposed by the reso- ‘lution ‘would make it impossible for the 'speaker‘to be a.member of any standing or . conference “ committee. The speaker is now a member of the committee on rules, to which the Tes- olution will be referred. It also takes from the speaker power to appoint the standing committees, this power being given to.a committee on.rujes and committees. The latter commiit- tee is created, to consist of fifteen members, nine of whom shall belong to the party’having a majority. The members will be selected according to geographical groups -of the states. The members from each group shall select thelr representatives on ' the committee on rules and committees. Tuesday of each week is set aside as “calendar Tuesday” for considera- tion of the .business of the various standing committees, consisting of bills which have been previously re- ‘ported.
