Mr.. Stevenson presented the credentials OF Eras-
mus ID. Peck as member elect frr,m the Tenth Con-
gressiona district OF Ohio, In place of HOag, de-
ceased, and Mr. Peck came forward and took the
oath.
Resolved That leave Of absence heretofore granted
for an indefinite length OF time shall in no case eS-
tend beyond Monday, May I'd next, unless hereafter
otherwise ordered by the House,
He remarked that there were members absent by
the month, under indefinite leave Of absence, and he
thought it ought to be stopped. The resolution was
agreed to.
In this connection It is appropriate to give the
copy Of the warrant issued TO the sergeantat-Arms
for the arrest OF absent members:-
''To the Sergeant-at Arms OF the United States
House of Representatives You are hereby COM
manded to arrest and bring before the bar of the
House the following named members, absent with

''II. L. DAWES Speaker pro tenn"
The Speaker stated In reference to the case OF Mr.
and asked him whether it was probable that the
Committee on Claims would be called for public
business next week, and then stated (when he un-
dersood there was no probability OF it that he de-
sired to be absent next week, and would ask leave
OF absence The Chair understood that to mean
that he would ask leave subsequently, but Mr.. Ella
left last evening for home. IL was probable he in-
tended that remark as request that the Chair
should ask IL from the House. He therefore sug-
gested that leave OF absence should be granted him.
as otherwise the Sergeant-at-Arms would be under
the imperative necessity OF sending for him.
Leave OF absence was accordingly granted to Mr..
Ella.
Mr.. Hooper made similar request for his col
league Mr.. Butler, who had left for home last
ing with his family, having applied for leave OF alb
sence from to-day. The House refused to grant
leave OF absence to Mr.. Butler as dating from yes
terday He is therefore to be sent for according to
the warrant issued to the Sergeant-at-Arms.
Mr.. Mungen having to leave the city, and not
being able to be present on Monday in response TO
the warrant, asked to be and was excused on &C
count of illness.
The House then took up the bill reported yester-
day from the Committee on Private Land Claims in
relation to the Hot Springs reservation, Arkansas.

Wunton and DIaIIcious HIIschIef-Iniury 10 the
Washington Masonic Temple.
The Washington Star of last evening says:-
Some malicious person at the ball given to the
Ohio visitors at the Masonic Temple last night
went into the rooms above the main hail. in the
third story of the building, when the ball was
near the close, and turned on the water at one
of the washstands in which the pipes were out
of order, and which was labelled "Do not use;
out of order" leaving it running; then put an
empty whisky bottle down one of the water
closets, leaving the water running there, and
both were left running there the balance of the
night. This morning the floors were flooded
and the water was dripping through the cell
ings of the fine rooms below, some of which
have just been frescoed and others were being
decorated. The water, of course, has soaked
through every part of the stairway and small
rooms adjoining, flowing into the room above
the music hall and defacipg the beautiful
ceiling and cornice there. The water also ran
down into a merchant tailoring establishment
on the lower floor, damaging some of the
goods. The extent of the damage is not
known, but it will be serious loss to the
Masonic fraternity just at this time, when they
have used every means to finish their new hall
and are about to furnish it,

blishment will be beautifully and elaborately
frescoed. The house when it is finished will
accommodate comfortably one thousand per-
sons. The floor of the auditorium will be level

and several recognized frst-class men have
already been secured. They are ct present in
New York city, and are expected to return to
