The speaker signed it just before the
House adjourned.
The contested election case is some
thing of n novelty because both the
contestant and the cOntestee are Dem
ocrats. Mr.. Patterson however, was
affiliated in the last campaign with the
gold" Democrats and Republicans. The
Democrats displayed considerable bitter
ness. They fought the consideration OF
the case and with the aid of some Re
nublicans almost succeeded i'll defeating
it. The vote will be taken tomorrow
ut 4 O'clock.
Two resolutions of inquiry reported
by the Foreign Affairs Committee, were
adopted. One called upon the President,
if not incompatible With the public IN
terest, to transmit all correspondence
between Consul General Lee and the
State Department between May i, 1893,
to the present time.
The second requested him to inform
the House what steps, if amy, had been
taken TO protect the lives and property
of the 800 Americans left by Consul
Brice ut MatanZas
The bill reported by the Foreign Af-
fairs Committee to restore Mrs. Nellie
Grant Satoris to American citizenship,
was passed.
The Tennessee contested election case
was then called up.
Shortly after o'clock Mr.. Hull inter
rupted the debate and asked unanimous
consent for the consideration of the JOINT
resolution passed by the Senate to-day
to prohibit the expectation of coal.
Mr.. Hull explained that the Executive
officers of the government considered il
OF great importance that the gesolutloI
should be passed at once.
Mr.. Walker rep. VirginiO said that
much coal was produced in his district
and he was not prepared to allow Il
measure of such Importance to &C
through without due consideration.
He was appealed to by members on
both sides of the House not to object
but he refused to withdraw his objec
ton.
The members labored with Mr.. Walker
for ten minutes and finally induced him
TO withdraw his objection.
The resolution was then passed with
out division. and soon aftcrward signed
by the Speaker. At 5:4J p. III. the
House adjourned.
