usual, except from the southern Itock
Ios over the southern plateau and tlie
southern half of Callforna, where the
temperatures will be somewhat below

CANNONITESWbN IN CAUCUS
PREPARED THE SLATE AND PUT
THROUGH FREE BALLOT.
Insurgents Without Representation on
House Rules Committee -Cannon
Voted for Slate Candidates.
Washington—The lamb and tho
lion did the harmonious turn In the
republltan caui us Wednesday, with
the result that the Hon enjoyed him-
he It hugely. That Is tho regulars let
the Insurgents come into the meeting
and take their chance with eve:y oth-
er republican on a secret ballot and
a fair < ount for the election ot the six
republican members of the new com-
mittee on rules. Every Insurgent ex-
cept tiardner of Massachusetts was
on hand and will have to abide by tbe
i'cction, which resulted in naming
these uncompromising Cannon men 1
for the col. "littte by the following
voles:
Smith of Iowa, Pis; Jialzell of Penn-
sylvania, 110; Lawrence u.' .Massa-
chusetts, 120; Fnssett of New York,
1KI; Smith of California, 92; Boutello
of Illinois, s.'i.
The first thing that happened when
the caucus opened, wat* that Repre-
sentative Tawney, one of the Cannon
lieutenants, pulled out his slate with
the above six names on it and moved
that thty be declared the nominees
ol the caui us. The motion, of course,
was withdrawn, but the purpose of it
was to give the reactionaries a cue
as to who was to be nominated. Then
• si motion of Payne of New York, the
nominations were made open to every-
body ami the voters were not required
to c online their votes to those nomi-
nal'd How thoroughly the regulars
followed the cue thus given by Taw-
ney is bIioi1-n by the fact that Smith
received Mi*. Dal/.eil 148, Lawrence
12(1 ami I'as sett 1 LI out of the 1 S:i
vot's iast, while Smith straggled
