ERMANENT PEACE NOW PREDICTED] oo Opinion of a Republican, ngh in Party Counsels and of Eminent Political Judgment OTHERS SAY GREAT POLITICAL WAR This Possibility Recognized by All Factions as the Out- come of Destruction of Speaker Cannon’s Power— Few Believe Conditions isfactory Conclusion—Insurgents Wonder if They Made a Political Flunder in Voting to Retain Can- non as Speaker. of Affairs Represents a Sat- Washington, March 20.—The Titanic struggle over the speaker of the house ©f representatives, which reached its climax late vesterday in the destruc- tion of the speaker’s power in the com- nittee on rules, yet leaving Mr. Can- :on the speakership itself, may have marked not so much the ending of a three days' battle as the commence- ment of a great political war. The recognition by all factions of this pos- ®ibility was the principal feature today of the political situation in Washing- kon. Has Somebody Blundered? Hardly anybody here thinks that the conditions of affairs after the momen- tous battle represents any satisfactory conclusion. The speaker and his friends_appear to interpret the refusal ©f the house to depose him as justify- @ng them in claiming to have wrested wictory from defeat, endorsement from repudiation. Not a few of the insur- Eents who voted for Mr. Cannon’s re- tention are wondering today if they made a political blunder, whether their mnti-Cannon_constituents will not in- deed hold their retaining him in the speakership to have nullified their vote to eliminate him from the rules com- mittee. Nobody Seems Happy Over the Out- come. The republican regulars complacent- iy claim that the insurgents who voted for the epeaker have returned to the v fold. The democrats taunt these nsurgents with having been recreant %o the logic of their insurgency. No- body seems entirely happy about the outcome. Even in the senate the reg- wmlars are apprehensive lest the insur- gent conflagration may be . about to epread to that house, so that insur- gent senators are wondering whether they have made the most of their op- portunities. 5 Insurgents Cut to the Quick. Speaker Cannon’s defiant speech last pight before the Illinois Republican as- sociation, in_which he contemptuously enounced the insurgent members of he house who.stood by him in the Final test as ‘“cowardly members of Eongress without the courage of their ronvictions,” has cut to the quick those #nen who responded with their votes #o what they say they believed to be their duty to the party and to the country and saved him from utter hu- miliation. the feeling among these in- was one of bitterest resent- r the attitude assumed tow- ®rds them. “If this is to be the manner of our treatment for saving the republican arty.” said one of them today, “this Batiic just endea will be followed by &nother beside which the first one will be but a skirmish. War to a Finish. “I can speak for no one but myself, but if this is to be our reception, I am Gone. We were not cowards. We of the insurgents who cast our votes yes- terdey against unseating Cannon were the bravest men in that house. It ®ook consummate courage, and it will robabiy cost me my seat in congress. ut if we are to be met with calumny because we sacrificed ourselves to save the house of representatives from cheos and disorder and to prevent the wuin of the republican party, then I am in favor of carrying this wer to the member said he had talked with two others of the insurgent who voted to save Cannon and that they were in a similar frame of mind. “When 1 read in the papers this gnorning the speech which Speaker Lannon delivered before the Illinois or association last night, mv blood boiled with indignation,” contihued this in- surgent. There has not yet been called any meeting of the insurgents to con- sider what their future course shall be, but undoubtedly one will be held with- in a day or two, The Next Conflict the Selection of New Rules Committee. The next tonflict will come, if it comes, on the selection of the new rules committee provided for in the Norris resolution. The committee is to be elected by the house, instead of being appointed by the speaker, as_hitherto. Neither the regular republicans nor the democrats have as yet made any arrangements for a party caucus, but both caucuses will be held within the next three or four days. Representative Tawney, one of the leaders on the republican side, said to- day that no_conference had been held to date on the subject, but undoubted- 1y one would occur, perhaps tomorrow. All of the caucuses must be held with— in ten days, for that is the time limit fixed by the Norris resolution for the election of the new committee. Of this committee the republicans will choose six members and the dem- ocrats four. Whether the insurgents will be given representation among the six republican members is now un- known. They say they have not asked and do mot care for membership on the new committee. “We do not wish to assume responsi- bility for legislation or to iry to force ourselves on the house in that way,” said_one ‘of their number. “It would not be just for us to do so.” ‘The democrats will choose their four members in caucus and they expect that their selections will be ratified by the vote of the house. To attempt to predict whom the re- publicang will select would be the merest speculation. The democratic leaders said today that they anticipated no gifficulty in haying their caucus selection for this committee ratified by the house, as the insurgent republieans had given them a pledge to support the democratic nominees, partly in consideration of the unanimous vote of the democrats for the Norris resolution. But the highly important matter of the selection of this new rules com- mittee was of secondary consideration in the talk héard today as to whéther the war within the ranks of the Te- publican party was to continue or not. Something in the Nature of a Truce Must Come. The legislative programme in con- gress was scarcely mentioned at all, excepting in connection with the prob- able delay it will encounter before the political air has become sufficiently clarified to go ahead with legislation. It was generally recognized that there | must be restored some semblance of quieiude. something in the nature of a truce, if ultimate peace cannot just now be had, before congress can pro- ceed with the calm and conscientious consideration of the important meas- ures before it. Every important administration measure is halted just where it stood Wednesday when the preliminary skir- mish of the long drawn battle was be- gun. Necessarily all work was thrown ruthlessly aside when the great con- flict on the floor of the house began. Permanent Peace Predicted. A republican high in the counsels of the party and of eminent political judgment gave it as his opinion that the worst was now over in republican strife ang that permanent peace would shortly ensue. ¥ACHT LYSISTRATA RUMORED WRECKED IN RED SEA And That James Gordon Bennett Had Been Drowned.
