In the House.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Langston-
Venable contested election case came up
and the Democrats resorted to their tactics
OF leaving the chamber when the roll was
called on consideration, but the clerk
nnally managed to note a quorum and
Haugen, OF Wisconsin, proceeded to argue
the case.
Cheadle, of Indiana, opposed the majority
resolution, and declared the Fourth dis
trict of Virginia was reliably Republican
it had been carried by the Democrats, not
because of the popularity of Cleveland or
the unpopularity of Harrison but because
OF 1rreconcllable differences in the Repub-
lican party. 1t had been race division,
with all that such division could imply in
the south. 1t would be suicidal for the Re-
publican party to seat a man who led the
bolt against the regular Republican candi-
date. He said if there was little law
and less evidence to sustain the con-
test, there were still less Republicans.
He was confident there never could be a
strong and effective Republican party in
the south until there were enough white
men in 1t to make it strong and effective
Senator Malone and the white men of Viz
glnla made the Republican party strong in
that state and secured the election of six
| Republicans to Congress. The contest
ant was flying in the face of condi-
lions that had raised a race issue and
the result had been Virginia had only two
! Republican representatives. Ignorance
could not dominate and override intelli-
gence. A Republican party In the south
could not be built up on the negro vote
alone. He (Cheadle) could not under his
oath and from his knowledge of the case
vote to seat the contestant. and he hoped
| for the good name of the House and the
good name of the great party to which
| he belonged that there would be enough
Republicans voting with him to retain Ven
able in his seat. He eulogized ex-senator
Malone ard predicted that if his leadership
was followed Virginia in few years would
| be as reliably Republican as Vermont
| When Cheadle concluded he was greeted
| with applause by the Democrats. The case
| then went over until tomorrow Cheadle
stating he would call the previous question
/ at 2 o'clock.
The speaker announced his signature to
| the river and harbor bill and the House
took recess.
| AT the evening session of the House a
number of bills passed, including the
/ Senate bills transferring the weather
service to the department of agriculture
| with amendments) and providing that
promotion to every grade in the army
below the rank of brigadier-gen shall
be subject to examination to be made ac-
cording to seniority.
The House bill passed authorizing the
secretary OF war to appoint board of re-
view to review the findings and sentence
of any court martial for the trial of com
missioned officers or enlisted man where
the accused had been honorably discharged.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE World has

eral initiation and he thinks values tend up
