HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-There were
but eighty-five members present when
the house was called to order this morn
ing, but a quorum was obtained after
about ten minutes delay. The oppo-
nents of the lard bill led by MI. Mason OF
Illinois at once began filibustering.
After an hour spent mostly in roll
calls the previous question on motion to
approve the journal was ordered. Yeas,
l06; nays, So.
Turner of New York then set out on
his task of consuming time, taking as his
text the Cannon resolution of yesterday.
In approving the journal containing that
resolution the house would be holding up
the men mentioned therein to the execra-
ton and contumely of mankind.
Laughter I Though he proclaimed him.
self TO be in good voice he was unable to
proceed for more than ten minutes in
deuunciation of the resolution when he
ceased aud yielded to McAdoo of New
Jersey.
That gentleman said that the Cannon
resolution not only stated facts of record,
but questioned the motives of the MEM
bers, many members leaving the hall SO
they could not be counted as being pres
ent. Tint gentleman had not done him
the honor of including him in his list.
He had left the hall yesterday, not TO
evade responsibility, but to attend to
some business IN the senate. II the gem
tlemau had put him on the list, as he
might have done, he would have been
stating q false conclusion. The gentles
man from Illinois was an apt scholar in
an arbitrary school. What right had the
gentleman TO indict his colleagues and
hold them up to the country as leaving
the hall for the purpose of evading re-
spensibility. After ridiculiDg Cannon s
craftsmanship and historical knowledge
he east his store of ridicule upon Can
mons love for the farmer. Then ensued
the stormiest scenes OF the session.
Cannon rose to reply. He admitted he
was not a great statesman, and also ad-
mitted the superiority of the gentleman
from New Jersey in that respect. His
friend abounded in one thing and that
was wind, and under pressure it went
out. Loud laughter.
There was instantly great confusion
and disorder in the hall. McAdoo shouted
out he wanted the words to go upon
record as specimens of Cannon's Vul-
garity.
Caruth of Kentucky suggested the
propriety of clearing the galleries of
ladies, while Enloe was clamoring for
on the question of order.
Again McAdoo shouted out to Can
non: eff you can afford to let that go
on record as a specimen OF your stable
Jockey wit can afford to have it there.
/ cannot indulge in blackguardism with
you. You ought TO argue with stable
jockey; that is your size
Finally Enloe was recognized on his
point of order and demanded that the
words be taken down.
Cannon-Oh, if it annoys the GENTLE
man 1 will withdraw it.
After n brief discussion the speaker
Dverruled the point of order on the
ground that Enloe's proper course would
have been TO call the gentlemen to order
and raise point or order.
Enloe appealed from the decision and
the clerk proceeded TO call the roll on
the decision of the speaker
but a storm was brewing. Its mutterings
we're heard when Mason coming down

N the vicinity began TO denounce that |
gentleman in no measured words. He |
declared if Mr.. Cannon's family were in |
he gallery he would not have uttered |
The words he had. His [Mason 's) family |
we're in the gallery aud ne would not sit |
amely by and hear them insulted.
Some gentlemen in the vicinity say the |
lie passed, but before anything more |
erious occurred the storm broke out in |
mother quarter.
Wilson of Washington, taking occasion
n defend Cannon action, aroused the
re of Beckwith of New Jersey. Hot
words were exchanged, the lie passed
md q blow was given. Friends seized
10Th men and finally quieted them.
While every Democrat was on his feet
Il the family quarrel, Enloe
uggested that the house should
dopt the London prize ring rules.
I was many minutes before order was
aud it required vigorous WELD
ng of the speakers gavel before the
Jerk could proceed with the roll call.
The decision of the chair was sustained

Mr.. Cannon then rose and said: crave
or q moment the attention OF the house.
/ few moments ago the gentleman from
Jew Jersey denounced my action as a
member OF the house yesterday as in
