The house adjourned at 10:45 o'clock
this morning after continuous session OF
forty-six hours and twenty five minutes.
There was no compromise, The motion to
adjourn was made by Mr.. Ward, ,ot Illinois,
who said it was evident that the extent Of
human endurance had been reached and
that no legislation could be had under the
present rules OF the house. He was un.
willing to submit 10 torture longer and
therefore moved to adjourn. The vote was
IS against 6U, nineteen Republicans voting
in the affirmative. The roll was called
seventy five times during the sitting. The
house will meet on Saturday at noon.
1t is calculated that twelve hours will be
required to read, tomorrow, the house
ionrnal If Wednesday. including the sew
enty- five roll calls. 1t is understood that
if a reading is demanded Speaker Blaine
will rule long established usage, which is
that ,he law has eliminated the yeas and
nays from the reading. This may cause a
contest in the house.
The Republican senators had caucus
= TODAY with reference to the admission OF
Pinchback as senator, but no conclusion
, was reached. Tie discussion of the gen
eral questions involved, developed grea
lack of harmony in the views of those pres
ent 1t is now considered probable that /
sufficient number of Republicans will unit
with the Democrats to prevent the passag
by the senate of the proposed resolution
for the recognition of the Kellogg govern
ment and that therefore Plnchback will NJ
he admitted. In this probable event tn
responsibility of deciding whether or nc
the kellogg administration is the legal GOV
ernment OF Louisiana will again be le
with the President. 1t is understood ths
there will be three reports from the cou
S. mittee on privileges and elections, on til
O question of plnchback' $ right to admission
Senator Morton, on behalf of the majorlt
it is believed, will report that Pinchback
entitled to seat in the senate. Saulsbul
and Hamilton will submit their views
the contrary, and Alcorn will favor ne
a election. though in case the senate pass
the resolution recognizing the Kellogg go
ernmeut he will feel called upon to vo
for Pinchback's admission, Senator Va
