FALLING WALLS,
Tho Ruins of McLear s. KendaIIs Fac

The Ruins of McLear & KendaiI's Fac
tory Fall in with u aCrasii--Insurance
Adjusters.
Ever since Saturday tine walls of the
burned carriage factory at Ninth and King
streets have been eyed with suspicion and
the G.tnger Of their falling was freely dis
cussed. Efforts were made to prevent them
giving way and few shores were placed
against tn two ends III the inside. A force
of menand boys were engaged I'm sorting
nuts and bolts al the east end yesterday
afternoon, but one of The firm noticing that
the wall appeared 10 sway directed them to
go toward King street. The order had no
sooner been obeyed than about 100 feet of
the south wall fill in with a tremendous
crash, covering the ground with mass Of
bricks and mortar and filing the air with
cloud of dust. About an hour afterwards
the cast end or French street wall also lost
its balance and came crashing down. 1t is
evident that all the walls will have to be
torn down even if they do not fall, being so
badly warped and twisted. The north wall
was shored up yesterday on Ninth street,
and that thoroughlare and French street
shut of from travel. Luckily the south
wall fell in, otherwise II is probable the
engine would have received SERIOUS injury
by the immense weight thrown upon It. The
men stopped work inside and removed to
safer quarters in the lot adjoining. Messrs.
McLear " Kendall are upon the ground
most of the time experimenting the tasl, of
cleaning away and also keeping an eye that
no one is injured.
The insurance adiusters yesterday decided
that the building was a total less and that
the policies ON the same, amounting to
SIS, 800, would be paid i'll full.

A ROW IN THE HOUSE.
Republicans Suppressing an UnfavOrabIe
Resolution - Keifer Again Proves His
Official Uniitness.

Official Unfitness.
WASHINGTON, May 31.--After the con-
clusion of the Mackey-D -Dibble contest in the
House of Representatives, by the seating Of
Mackey this afternoon, Mr.. McLane, of
Maryland, arose to question of privilege
and sent up his resolution censuring the
Speaker for his arbitrary decisions during
the disposal of the contest
The resolution had no sooner been read
than the baby features and giant form of
Tom Reed were seen, and his sawmill voice
was heard In a motion to table the resOlu-
ton Instantly there followed whirlwind.
Everybody was shouting, the gavel was
breaking the desk to splinters, excited Con-
gressmen were prancing up and down the
aisles, and angry Congressman with white
faces and clenched fists were breathing
anathemas at each other, or what seemed to
be anathemas. There was swaying to and
fro Of the members as they gathered together
in body. 1t is impossible further to
describe IL than to say 1t was confusion
worse confounded.
The Speaker was no better that the stick
OF wood with which he was hammering. He
certainly had lost his head, and the members
seemed to have no more respect for him than
for one of the page boys. Amid all this
confusion Miller of Pennsylvania, with the
manner OF man in madhouse, came
down into the area in such passion that
foam almost seemed to fly from his lips, and
when his eye fell ON Sunset Cox, addressed a
remark which Mr.. Cox heard if nobody else
did.
Mr.. Cox walked quietly straight up until
his waistcoat buttons touched those OF Miller
and then he waved his shapely forehnger Il
dozen times back and forth under Millers
nose without accompanying the taunting
gesture with single word. Miller glanced
at him at first like man who has grasped
unsuspectingly the handles of a charged
battery, but before Mr.. Cox had finished his
gesture 1t seemed to have affected Miller
like dose of morphia, for he became
soothed and tranquil and was heard from no
more to-day.
Although the point of order was made
that Keifer had acted contrarily in recog-
nizing Reed, to table the resolutions when
Mclean had the floor on question of privi-
lagos, yet Keifer would not entertain it.
| The clear, incisive tones of Randall were
what brought order out of chaos. He arose
in his place and demanded in a voice that
was heard above all the confusion that the
| disgraceiul disorder cease, and men OH both
sides, recognizing leader, obeyed him.
Quiet followed. The resolutions, under
Keifer's arbitrary ruling, were tabled, AND
the case of Bisbee against Finley was nexl
called up.

The centre of disturbance is now passing
over the lower lake regions towords the st.

Gulf States. Elsewhere hazy or partly
cloudy weather prevailed. The temperature
remained nearly stationary in all the dis
tricts except the Northwest, where a fall is
reported, Brisk winds blew in the lake

slightly cooler and partly cloudy, with
showers. Tomorrow it promises to be
cooler and fair, preceded by cloudiness and

evidence in the case showing any connection
between the action of Judge Westbrook and

acts Of indiscretion can be pointed out, the

The south Carolina Contested Election

Case.
The deadlock in the House Of Representa-
tiyes over the Mackey Dibble (South Carolna)
contested election case was finally broken last
Monday, after eight days of wasted time.
Finding all other remedies useless the Repub-
licans having at last secured quorum de-
termined to so amend tho rules as to prevent
filibustering on so important question as the
determination of the constitutional right to
seat in the House. After two or three hours
of debate, ably led by Mr.. Robinson of Mas
sachusetts, the Speaker rendered a decision
sustaining the Republicans, and refused to
entertain dilatory motions. The decision was
appealed from, and the appeal was laid upon
the table. Then Democratic motion to adj
journ was voted down, after which the pre-
vious question was called. Some further at
tempts at obstruction were made, but the pre-
vious question prevailed and the rules Of the
House were amended in accordance with the
Republican programme: The result is tri-
umph of justice and suppression of the
revolutionary tactics, which for more than
week had placed the entire work of Congress
at the mercy of arecusant minority. Hence
lOEWhIu, lu6Ib CAL Db no uelhy i'll tub CUuslu-
Grafton of contested election cases.
Tuesday was another exciting day, the
Democrats trying, but without avail, to avoid
meeting the South Carolina case on its merits
On Wednesday the case was finally settled by
seating Mackey, the Republican contestant.
What the Democrats have gained by their
course in this matter, except to put them
selves wrong before the country, as usual, it
is difficult to see. That Mackey was and is
rightly entitled to his seat, on the simple mer-
its of the case, there has never been any
chance for reasonable doubt In the original
election in his district, O'Connor, his oppo-
nent, was deliberately counted in under the
outrageous tissue ballot tactics. Some COCO
moro votes than the whole registration in the
district were cast, and to remedy this nearly
5000 Republican tickets were thrown out.
OOonnor died soon after and then, after go.
ing through the form of pretended election,
Dibble appeared on the scene. The Elections
committee investigated the case and reported
in favor of Mackey, and the only ground
the Democrats found on which to refuse him
his seat was that the stenographer's report in
the case had been interlined. garbled and
falsifed. The frauds at the time of the orig
inal election were not disputed. No Other
conclusion can be reached than that the sole
motive for the action of tho House Demo
Gratis has been a desire to maintain a solic
South and keep up their old-time subservien
cy to their Southern allies. The Republicans
have the right on their side, and their vigor
Gus and determined action in the matter will
do much to encourage and strengthen the
Southern Republicans in their often hopeless
task of maintaining an organization and max
ing show of fighting for their rights
