trict and Downing, from the 18th llli-
nois district, and seated in the place Of
the former Martin. Populist, who had
been indorsed by the Republicans. ana
in place OF the latter, Binaker, Repub-
lican. Downing was the only Democrat
from Illinois. good deal Of partisan
feeling was aroused among the Demo-
Gratis by the ruling OF Payne, who was
in the chair and on one or two ocea-
sions there was a mild reminder OF the
turbulent scenes OF the Fifty-first con-
gress. Several Democrats left the hall
in an effort TO break down quorum,
but Jayne declined to recognize the point
of no quorum or to entertain an ap-
peal from that decision. Grosvenor's res
olution calling on the president and cab
met officials for complete list of the
removals since March 4, 1895 was laid
over. owing to the pressure of members
for the passage OF bills Of local import
ance to them. and the refusal Of KEN,

OF legislation. a special order was adopt
ed making tomorrow individual suspen-
sion day.
