House.
When the doors reopened, the SEN
ate adjourned till Tuesday.
AT a meeting OF the Senate Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections TO day,
the case of w. p. Kellogg, claimant
for a seat in the Senate from Louisi-
ana, was taken up. The Repuhlicans
claimed that his credentials were reg
ular and he should be o in, and
that any investigation as to which of
the two rival governments In Louisi-
ana is legal should be deferred until
Kellogg has taken his seat. The Dem
mocrats held that while his credentials
might appear regular, they may not
be so; in fact, the IN has Ju-
dicial knowledge that there are two
rival governments in louisiana, and
therefore there should be an investiga-
ton before any person Is sworn in.

ports. There will be a majority and a
minority report, the former signed by
the Republican and the latter by the
