THE SAR FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1901. REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS OF THE HOUSE HOLD CAUCUSES Representative Henderson of lowa Is Again Chosen Speaker, and Richardson of Tennessee Is the Choice of the Minority Mem- bers for Leadership—-Bourbons Score Trusts and ‘Free Silver ASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—The caucus of the Republican members of the House was held in the House of Repre- sentatives this afternoon and lasted about three hours, Speaker Henderson and the old officers of the House were made the unanimous choice of the caucus, and the major portion of the time was devoted to an effort led by Representative Hepburn of lowa to effect sume changes in the rules of the last House. Hepburn has made a similar fight for the lberalizing of the rules at the opening of each Con- gress for a number of years, but without success, and to-day he was again unsuc- | cessful. Cannon of Illinois presided over the de- liberations of the caucus and Loudensla- acted as secretary. There were 146 of the 19 Republican members of the House present. Lacey of lowa placed General Henderson in nom- ination for Speaker and he was unani- mously chosen as the candidate of the caucus. He was escorted to the chair | New York, Tawney of Minnesota and Lacey of lowa. In response to a very enthusiastic reception Henderson ad- dressed the members of the caucus, say- ing In part: We are confronted now with work which tions next year. Every Republican will b upon his mettle. We will expect the sam: | from the opposition. ~There 1s always more | vity at every Coogress o ding & Con- sfonal election than at other time. We will require all of the wisdom we possess and all of the patriotism, for we have & great ntinually, and that is I appenl to my . Republicans, to keep in mind thut s & danger, and If we can be Wise in sence of that danger we will find approval from the American people. The American people do not expect any niggardliness in the treatment of the matters that they require. I do not counsel that, but 1 counsel that con- servative consideration of every question which should be observed at all times, erence 10 the hundred mlillions that we are soon o have. Henderson urged the members to be regular in attendance upon the sessions of the House. Sherman of New York then offered an omnibus resolution for the re-election of the old ofiicers of the old House—Alex- York, as doorkeeper: Joseph C. McElroy of Ohio, postmaster, and Henry M. Couden of Michigan, chaplain. This resolution also was unanimously adopted. Oppose Modification of Rules. Hepburn's efforts to secure a modifica- don of the rules followed. Dalzell of Pennsylvania offered a resolution for the adoption of the old rules with certain prescribed changes which, however, did not alter the operztion of the rules themselves. His resolution was as fol- lows: Resolved, That the rules of the House of Representatives of the Fifty-sixth Congress be adopted as the rules of the House of Repre- sentatives of the Fifty-seventh Congress, with First—That the special orders of March § and March 14, 190, providing a method for the con- sideratton of pension claims and other private bills, shall be continued during the Fift seventh Congress. Second—That the place of the seiect commi tee on the twelfth census rules of the Fifty- sixth_Congress shall be filled in the rules of the Fifty-seventh Congress by a standing com- mittes to consist of thirteen members and have Jurisdiction of all proposed legislation concern- ing the census and the apportionment Resolved, further, That there shall be ap- pointed to serve during the Fifty-seventh Con- gress & select committee on industrial arts ana expositions, to consist of nine members, whicz. shall have jurisdiction of all matters excep. those relating to the revenue and appropria- )ns referring to the centenninl of the Louls- hase and proposed expositions, further, That the select committee ty-sixth Congress shail be con- ect committes in the Fifty- Adopt Temporary Rules. Mr. Hepburn immediately offered an amendment providing that the rules should be adopted temporarily for forty | days, at the end of which time they should | be placed before the House for considera- tion. He made a very earnest argument in favor of this temporary action, in the course of which he pointed out four ma- | terial changes which he belleved should | be made in the rules as they have existed for several Congresses. One of these was | to provide that the right of recognition, | now lodged In the Speaker, should be given to the first member addressing the chair; the second was to provide for four suspension days a month Instead of two; the third was to provide for the revival | of the old “morning hour” as It existed before the first Congress of which Mr. Reed was Speaker, and the fourth was to provide that Senate amendments to the House bills should be subjected to the L B i e i 2 2 S O A ’H‘H'H‘H'I'H‘HH‘H'FHWM L ALL-AMERICAS MEET DEFEAT San Jose “Fans” See a Splendid Game of Basebdll. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Nov. 30.—San Jose was treated to a spectacular game of baseball this afternoon by Lajole’'s All-Amer‘cas and the National Leaguers, in which the witnessed the finest exhibition of ball ever seen here, by the greatest players on the American diamond. Tremendous hitting and brilliant fielding characterized the contest. The National Leaguers played an errorless game, while the All-Americas made seven blunders. Of the errors four were made by Irwin, the Muddy grounds made fielding difficult. The flelding of Plcker- ing and the heavy batting of Davis, Brad- ley and Lajole of the All-Americas, with the catching of Chance and the clean work of Van Haltren and McHale for the Natlonals were features of the game, McHale miade three hits out of four times at bat. Pickering won the admiration of the audience by accepting a difficult chance from a long drive by Carr, far out into left field. Chance distinguished him- self by catching two hard fouls. The All-Americas made elght hits off Mercer's delivery and he gave two men base on balls. ‘Bernard of the All-Amer- icas struck out five men and allowed elght base hits. The All-Amer{ were first to bat, but were retired in short order. Mertes scored for the Nationals. The second inning was uneventful. In the last of the third the Nationals added another run, Van Hal tren scoring on an error of Lajole, who threw wildly in a double play. No runs were made in the fourth, but in the fifth the Natfonals made two. These were made by Van Haltren and Mercer. In the sixth inning the Nationals did some pretty fleld work, the chief feature of which was a double play by Irwin to Lajole to Davis, but they were unable | of the existing tariff. same points of order to which they would be subject had the amendments originated in the House. Dalzell of Pennsylvania replied at con- siderable length to Hepburn's argument, contending that the present rules were an evolution, and had worked so admirably in facilitating the transaction of business hat the Democrats, despite their outery agalnst them during the Fifty-first Con- gress, had not dared to materially modify them when they came back into power in the Fifty-second Congress. He took occa- | sion to score Hepburn for harping on the subject of the rules. The discussion lasted about two hours. Shattuck of Ohlo supported the Dalzell | resolution. Crow of Pennsylvania, though generally in favor of the old rules, desired {a modification which would take away | from the chairmen of committees the power of controlling time on measures be- fore the House. When Hepburn's motion was put it was defeated by an overwhelm- ing vote of 3 to 1. He then offered in succession as distinct amendments the four modifications of the rules which he had suggested in his argu- ment. These were in turn voted down. The highest vote which any of them re- celved was 41. No question of policy was broached at the caucus Caucus of Democrats. The Democratic members of the House f Representatives met in hall of the House at 11 o'ciock to-day. There are 151 Democrats and eight Fu- sionists, Silverites and Populists in the House. Of these members of the min- ority 126 were present, meiuding Shafroth of Colorado and Newlands of Nevada, Sil- verites. Neville and Stark, Populists, of Nebraska declined to enter the caucus. Hay of Virginia, chairman of the Demo- cratic caucus, presided. Without oppe tion the following selections were m. for officers of the House, to be presented at the meeting of the House next Mon- Speaker—Richardson, Tennessee. -Representative James Kerr, nia. Sergeant at arms—Ex-Representative E. V. Brookside, Indlana. Doorkeeper—Charles Edwards, Texas. Postmaster—James K. Jackson, Ala- bama.

Richardson briefly thanked the caucus for the bonor done him, and said: I shall not attempt here and now to discuss or lay down any principles by which we are rned as a party. It would not be for me to do s ne I urge upon you and each of you the surpassing importance of attending the sessions of the Ho We have a minority consisting of about 18 members.

Resolutions Denounce Trusts. The Interesting portion of the caucus followed. Representative McClellan of New York, at the direction of the Demo- cratic members of the New York dele tion, who had met just prior to the as- sembling of the caucus, offered the fol- lowing resolution as an expression of the sense of the caucus: Resolved, That we shali promote to the ut- most of our power the removal of the oppres- sive, restrictive and often prohibitory features It has been truly de- clared to be the mother of trusts. The tend- ency to create combinations of wealth, estab- lishing practical monopolies in the manufac- turing and commercial industries of the United States, threatens the future existence of indi- v manufacturers and merchants and tradesmen of moderate or small means. The tendency must the sturdy independence of large bodles of Ameri- can citizens and may well be deemed the most serious menace to the moral and political wel- fare of the country. The time has come when to score. The All-Americas pulled them- selves together in the seventh, and by timely batting made two runs, Davis and Lajofe scoring. Steinfeld of the Nationals scored In the eighth. The two teams will play agaln to-morrow afternoon. The score: ALL-AMERICAS. AB. R. BH. 8B. PO. A. E.

We shall favor just and generous treat- ment of the inhabitants of Porto Rico and - American obligations to Cuba should be sacredly performed.

We are ed to the establishment of any colonial or any other system whereby the exec- utive or milltary power of the United States may permanently rule masses of men outside the sanctions and safeguards of the constitu- tlon of the United States. Wherever the United St. -3 has assumed obligations they must, no doubt. be fully met. but with the steadfast intention at the earllest practicable moment o accord to the peoples of other lands now in our power the same right of self-govern- ment which we claim for ourselves. No More of Free Silver. The presenting of this resolution pre- cipitated a row. ‘Richardson attempted to prevent the reading of it by a motion to refer all resolutlons to a special commit- tee of twelve, who should report at a future caucus, but this motlon was ruled out of order pending the reading of the resolution. When the reading was concluded, Ball 0. Texas gave notice that he would offer the Kansas City platform as a pubstitute | and withdrew the report of Fitzgerald of | New York and McDermott of New Jer- | sey, both of whom protested against the | injection of the financlal issue into the Democratic councils. “We cannot ever win,” declared Fitz- ' gerald, “if we do not discard the heresy of free sliver.’ “We can never win,” retorted Ball, “unless men calling themselves Demo- | crats support the national platforms of | the Democratic party.' | After further sharp exchanges, Rich- | ardson succeeded in quelling the disturb- ance by renewing his motion to refer all resolutions to a speclal committee, tc be appointed by the chairman of the caucus. ‘This motlon prevailed. The following res- olutions were then introduced: Resolved, That the Hon. James D. Richard- #on and the Democratic members of the Demo- ciatic House Committee @ Rules, when pointed, and three members to be appointed by them, constitute a committee to have in charge | the control and direction of the policy of the | Democratic party in the House of Representa- | tives except as ordered by = caucus of the | party, By Burlison of Texas: Resolved. That every Representative in Con- gress participaty aucus shall be gov- erned by the action of sald ‘caucus where the same dces not conflict with the declaration of principles and policles set forth in the last platform adopted by the Democratic party in national convention assembled. i Resolved, That the best interests of the Dem- ocratic party will be subserved by the mem- bership of sald party in Congress refraining from soliciting patronage at the hands of the administration. By Representative York: Resolved, That we oppose any Interference with the existing standard of values. That question has been settled by repeated and over. whelming expressions of popular sentiment and must efinitely closed to the statutory rec- | ognition of gold as the sole standard.
