ST. PAUL, May 1.-THE exceedingly

and for miles i'll some places the tracks
are completely inundated and some
bridges are washed away. Many wash
outs were caused by the steady down.

were stalled all day, waiting until
the crews of workmen could clear away
the distractions.
The severe storm which struck st.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-The house,
after one of the hardest fought parlia-

continued until almost 8 o'clock at
night, recommitted the contested elec-
tion case of Reinaker VS.. Downing,
from the Sixteenth Illinois district, to

pute- The vote stood 139 to 35, divided
as follows: Ayes-Republicans, 81:
Democrats, SO; Populists, 3. Noes-Re.
publicans, 49, The supporters of the
majority report to unseat Downing
(Dem.) and seat the contestant realized
that the
Disaffection on Their Side
was so strong that the minority report
would probably be adopted, and they
inaugurated a systematic filibuster to
gain time to rally their forces. The
first test of strength on motion to adj
journ--96 to 139, confirmed their suspi-
cions, but they fought valiantly to the
end and went down in the last ditch
after staving off the final action for four
hours. The speaker gave them con-
siderable leeway at the beginning of the
fight, but toward the end he declined to
tolerate dilatory tactics. AS a last re-
sort many of the supporters of the ma
jority report
Refused to Vote,
but the speaker counted them and the
Democrats and dissenting Republicans
scored their victory.
The speakers were Messrs. Cook (Rep.,
Ills.), Hepburn (Rep., Ia.) and Con-
molly (Rep., nls.), in favor of the con-
testant, and Messrs. Lacey (Rep., Ia.), ,
Shaforth (Rep., Colo.) and Dalzell
(Rep., Pa), in favor of the resolution of
the minority to recommit the case and
recount the official vote. In closing the
debate Mr.. Dalzell de Jared that a par
tisan decision of the case would be a
disgrace to the Republican congress.
