HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, May %.
A resolution was adopted providing for
evening sessions every Tuesday and Thurs
day. Mr.. Calkins of Indiana, called up
privileged question, the contested election
case of Mackey VS.. O'Connor. Fol- all close
ly contested Congressional districts, arrange
ments are being made for the campaign in
Maine, which begins earlier than in most of
tie States. The committee has already re-
ceived promises from some leading republic
can orators to enter the Maine canvass,
which it is expected will begin about the
middle of August. Frye has charge of the
campaign in that State this year. The cor
respOndence of the committee gives promise
of success.
Mr.. Randall of Pennsylvania, inquired
whether the Speaker recognized that as a
privileged question which would interfere
with the call of the States, and upon receiv-
ing the affirmative answer, moved that when
the House adjourn today it be to meet on
Wednesday next, stating that as the present
struggle might be protracted it might be well
for the House to take a rest.
Mr.. Calkins made the point of order that the
motion involved change of rules and must
lie over one day, but the point was overruled
by the Speaker.
Mr.. Randall desired to state his reasons
for making the motion, but MIR. Calkins OBJ
jected The motion was lost, yeas 50. nays
ll2. There were thirty pairs announced on
the vote, but when necessary to make a quo
rum. all republicans present and paired will
Vote, having reserved to themselves that
right. Mr.. Randall then raised the question
of considerable against the election case.
Numerous pension bills were reported ad-
versely f.on the pension ommittee.
Mr.. Gorham introduced bill appropria-
ting 100000 for public building at Anna
polls.
The calendar was proceeded with, and the
Senate bill to secure the safe keeping OF
money paid into the court, was passed.
Nothing was done until 2.45, when SER
geant-at-arms appeared at the bar of the
House with Mr.. Van Voorhees, who, in making
his remarks referred to the filibustering tao
tics of the democratic side. This provoked
an animated protest from Mr.. Cox, who con-
sidered Mr.. Van Voorhees, language insulting
and moved he be fined $50. After some dis
cussiOn in which the two gentlemen and Mr..
Robson participated, the motion was lost
and Mr.. Van Voorhees, excused.
At further proceedings under call dis
pensed with and vote recurring on question
Of consideration again no quorum voted yeas

Mr.. Calkins gave notice that he would call
up the election case tomorrow Adjourned
