Intellectual Efforts to Take Up Con-
tested Election Case.

! The relaxation following the consid-
| Grafton OF the Porto Rican bill was plainly
manifested In the action Of the members of
the House yesterday. 1t had been ar
ranged to take up the contested election
case OF Aldrich vs.. Robbins, from the
! Fourth district of Alabama, but the alb
sence OF many of the Republicans, the list

OF two enabled the Democrats TO prevent
consideration, although two efforts were
made to bring it before the House.
The call OF committees occupied all of
the time Of the short session not taken up
with roll calls on the election case. The
Loud bill to amend the law regulating the
transmission of second-class mail matter
was made the special order for March 20
The statement was made that the Mica

After the transaction OF some routine
business Mr.. Mann called up the report
Of the Committee on Elections No 1 on
the Aldrich Robbins case.
The House refused, by a vote OF 13S to
143. to consider the case.
Mr.. Mann then changed his vote and
moved a reconsideration.

point of order that the vote could not be
reconsidered.

Mr. Weeks of Michigan for Elections
Committee No. 9 gave notice that on Tues
day next he would call up the contested
election case of Wise vs.. Young from
the Second district of Virginia.
Some time was spent In an effort to Sc
cure consent to make Mr. Loud's bin to
