  ern states and territories, but without ac- tion on the bill it went over.

 WASHINGTON, Sept 18.-The house spent the day trying to secure quorum SO as to take action on the Langston-Venable Virginia contested election case. The Democrats refraining from voting, sue eeeded in breaking the quorum, and the house, without taking action on the case, adjourned. The call showed the presence of 17S members, and the speaker directed the clerk to call the roll on the approval of the journal. During the call of the roll the door which has always been kept open to ingress and egress was latched and two doorkeepers were stationed at 1t to prevent members leaving the chamber.
 The first gentleman to resent this en- forced imprisonment was Mir. Kilgofe (Tex.) ), who forced back the slight fastening and walked into the lobby. MT. Dingley (Me.) was directly in front of the door when Mir. Kilgore broke the latch. MT. Dinxley received the full force of the con- cussion in the face, and his nose bled pro fusely. It Is thought that the injured or gan is broken.
 WASHINGTON, Sept 1o.-In the house the Democratic minority by filibustering tao tics, refusing to vote but responding to roll calls, prevented final action up to the time of adjournment on the Langston- -venable Virginia contested election case.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The senate dis cussed Mir. Plumb's resolution to recomit the bankruptcy bill with instructions 10 amend it by making it apply to voluntary bankruptcy only and then left tho whole matter on the calendar with not much probability of it being called up again this session. When the resolution came up MT. Hoar asked MT. Plumb to withdraw it. MT. Hoar said the bill had been very carefully prepared, and when 1t came be- fore the senate 8 motion could be made to strike out the involuntary clause of 1t.
 MT. Plumb said that he had offered the resolution because he was utterly opposed to the principle of involuntary bankruptcy. and he did not wish to have any bank ruptcy bill passed at this session.
 Mr. Plumb said he understood that an association of wholesale dealers had spent good deal of money in efforts to have tho bill passed, and that fact indicated that the bill was not in the interest of the peo- pie of the United States, but in the inter est of c class of persons whom 1t would en- able to put . clutch on the throat of all the business of small kind carried on in the United States-
 MT. Hoar believed such bill was needed and would have good effect and reduce the present rates of interest.
 The house bill to reduce the amount of United States bonds to be required of na- tional banks, and to restore to the chan nels of trade the excessive accumulations of lawful money in the treasury having been reached on the calendar, MT. Sher- man spoke. He believed that It's passage would tend very much to quiet even the present agitation in tho money market.
