contested election case of Buchanan VS..
Manning.
Mr.. Page, in the interest of the river

Mr.. Page then moved to go into commit
tee OF the whole on the river and harbor
bill.
Mr.. Humphrey moved to adjourn. Lost.
Mr.. Hiscock reported from the commit
tee on appropriations the deficiency bill,
which was referred to the committee of
the whole.
Mr.. Hiscock stated that he would call up
that bill when the house went into com
mittee of the whole.
Messrs. Page and Kenna strenuously
objecte to yielding the right of way to the
deficiency bill, the latter declaring that to
do so would be to lose all chance of pass

After a confused discussion, the regular
order was demanded, and the vote recurred
upon Mr.. Pages motions which were voted
by tellers, and resulted 1876 to SO, and
pending demand for the yeas and nays,
the house took recess.
The first business of the evening session
was message from the senate announcing
its agreement to the request of the house
for conference on the internal revenue
bill, which having been received, the speak
er appointed Messrs. Kelly, Mckinley,
Haskell, Randall and Carlisle as conferees
on the part of The house.

after a short preliminary wrangle.
The house then went into a committee
of the whole Oh the river and harbor bill.
Mr.. Page briefly explained its provi-
sions.
Mr.. Horr further explained and defend
ed the bill.
Mr.. Guenther supported the bill and
Richardson, of New York, argued against it.
During the progress of Richardson's speech
he was interrupted by Hutchins and a
noisy, humorous, stormy and wholly un-
Ineligible discussion arose, as to the ben
efts which New York received from the
federal treasury. The committee was in
perfect uproar, nearly every member
being on his feet and two or three dozen
addressing the chair at the same
time. The declination of the
chair to recognize any one until
the committee came to order had no effect
as no recognition was asked for. Several
members kept up running debate amid
cheers, applause and laughter which rem
dered not only their words, but the direc-
tions of the chairman inaudible.
Mr.. Page at last managed TO catch the
ear of the chairman and the committee on
his motion rose.
The condition of the house in regard to
the uproar of the proceedings was no i'm
provement over that of the committee, ,and |
it took five minutes of continuous
rapping of the gavel, and some very sharp
words from the speaker pro tempore, (Mr. |
Robinson, of Massachusetts, to secure
any degree of quiet.
Mr.. Page then moved to limit the de- |
bate to two hours.
Mr.. Dwight moved to amend by making
it three hours.
Amid good deal of renewed confusion
a vote was taken, and no quorum voting |
the point was raised with good deal of
vehemence by Mr.. Van Voorhees,.
Mr.. Holman suggested that in order to
save time compromise might be arrived
at, fixing the limit at two and one half
hours.

"And," shouted Van Voorhees,, with en-

mo mule driver or stage driver from Cali
fornla can crack his whip over this house"
Finally Dwight's motion was lost, and
The compromise of two and half hours
was agreed to.
Mr.. Riscock then suggested that those
TWO and q half hours be consumed to-
night, but there was storm
