scene of excitement on the republican side
of the House this afternoon. The Virginia
election cess was the unfinished business
but the House itself was engaged in the
technical proceeding of trying to approve
yesterday g journal. The democratic mem
bers were endeavorlug 10 every way to pre-
vent the consideration of the election case
and In pursuance of this policy almost sill OF
them left the hall to break quorum on the
question OF approving the journal. A call
was ordered which brought In a number o.
democrats and yea and nay vote was being
taken on motion to dispense with further
proceedings under the call when the demo
cratic members again began to decamp.

Speaker to the fact and asked if the mem
bers present could not be obliged to remain.

Speakers left hand and sought to go out
into ths lobby. He found that the door was
locked and the doorkeeper In charge, MIR.
Hayes, refused to unlock 1t.
"UaIock that door," shouted the stalwalt
Texan. The doorkeeper moved not, where
upon Mr.. Kileore gave sudden and Wig
orous kick and the fral balze structure flew
oper, and Mr.. Kilgore strobe out. He was
followed in about the same fashion By Rep
resentatives Grain, of Texes, Cummings, Of
New York, and Coleman. of Louisiana, who
in turn forced the lock open without oppo-
sitiou from the doorkeepe,s

door flying wide open Representative Ding

Mahoneite, was chosen temporary chair
man.
II. H. West, of Culpeper, was chosen tem-
porary secretary.
The committees were then appointed and
recess was taken.
The selection of Major Hine was consld-
cred sharp piece of political strategy By
those opposed to congressional nomination,
as 1t is thought that his being chosen tenn
porary chairman would silence the straight
out faction and prevent any inharmoniOrs
action.
The convention is composed of men nine
tenths OF whom are opposed to congres-
sional nomination, and, 1t ls supposed, in
favor Of MIR. Hume as an independent caC-
didate.
Mr.. 8. P. Bayly, who was considered q
candidate, has Withdrawn and now faVors
no nomination.

and have their headquarters.
