When the upcakcr's gavel fell today llicre were less than eighty members on the floor. The house proceeded with some routine business , pending a , report expected from the rules committee for the disposition of the con tested election pases of O'Neill against Joy and RiiRllfdi against Hllborn. Letters from the secretary of the treasury and attorney general vvero transinltled , Ask ing for adlllonal appropriation- Die secrel service and the United Stales courls. Mr. Otitliv.alto of Ohio , from the committee on rules , reported a rule limiting debate lo two hours each on Ihe two election cises , the final vole Ihen to bo taken. Mr. Oulh- vvalte demanded the previous question on the adoption of the rule. The vote on ordering the previous question resulted 1C4 to 0. Mr. Heed made Ihe point of no quorum The vote resulted 179 ) eas and 1 nay , one moie than n quorum. The speaker voted In the alllrmatlvo. The icsult was greeted with applause. This Is the first tlmo for a week the democrats have mustered a quorum. Mr. Heed criticised the disposition to liusllo through these cases without discussion. Ho silt ! Iho purpose of the republicans had been to call attention to a great outrage , the house and the country being In the habit of paying little attention to election cases. Mr. Outhwallo replied by salng that more time foi discussion of the cases In the first place had been offered. IIo also rovlov.cd the action of the Plfly-flrst congress on elec tion cases and pointed oui the quick manner In which cases were then disposed of. Mr. Heed moved to commit the into , with - Insfeucllons lo report n rule Allowing fuilhcr time. The speaker was Inclined lo think this niotUn could not be entertained. Mr. Heed argued the case on technical Brou nils , The speaked ruled the motion to recom mit was equivalent to a proposition to amend. Amendments \\ero not In order after the previous question had been 01 dend. Therefore the motion of the gen tleman from .Maine ( Heed ) was not In older. HAD A HAKR QUORUM. On the question of adopting the report ot the committee , Mr. Onthualte demanded the Jcjus and nays. Tin ? division hav'lng de veloped the lack of a quorum , the repub- .llcans ugulh refrained from \ollng. The vole on llm adoption of the special rule was 172 to 7 , Including the voto-of the speaker , , mid It wus agreed to , a bare quorum voting. The resolution of the committee , on elec- , lions duclailug John J. O'Neill entitled lethe the seat for the Rlovcnth district of Mis souri was read and Mr. Patterson of Ten nessee was recognized on the side ot the majoilty report and Mr. Daniels of New- York on the side of the minority. Mr. Patterson's slalemcnt Involved a very elaborate und oxlcnded explanation ot Iho Missouri ballot law. Itepicsenlallvo Daniels of Now York , In ch'irgo ' of the case for Mr. Joy , followed Mr. Patteisoii with a view ot the Australian ballot law of Missouri as applying to the i -Joy ballots. As lo Iho objection that the Initials of the election Judges were not on the ballot" , Mr. Daniels contended that this was un erior to bo charged ugulnst the judges and not against the voters. u Mi. Pulntcr of Kentucky followed , arguing the absence of the Initials ot the judges fiom the ballots Invalidated them , Mr. lluitholdt ot Missouri contended that the republican vote ot Missouri amounted to K\ \ pet cent ot the democratic vole und the Kerrminder had enabled them lo secure u representation of only 15 per cent ut the doiuocrallc vole. Now It was proposed to tut this down to one-half. The election ma chinery wus all In the hands ot the demo crats. Mr. Denson of Alabama argued for the contestant and the majority report , while Mr. Huiruvvs ot .Michigan argued against the majority report. A request for unanimous consent to cxlend his remarks was refused. Ho asserted that he would decline to vote to disfranchise any of the citizens of Mlsso.irl by reason of a failure of Iho election ofllcers to put their initials on the ballot , the Intent of the vote being plain. Mr. Joy of Missouri , whose seat was at Issue , argued tlio recount ot the billets had built up Ids majority. The grounds ot the contest , he claimed , us finally made , were not valid In the notice ot contest scivctl upon him , as required by law. URRD'S AIIOUMRNT. Mr. Heed ot Maine pointed out that the Missouri statutes provided that judges aio required to put their Initials on ballots. Further , that Judges shall not deposit the ballot unless U has the Initials. Hu held this vvnfc Intended to give the voler n chance o tectlfy the omission It the Initial was at first omitted. He said It was proposed to dlsfraneliliin over 000 votc'is on account of the fault nf the judges. Mr. Call ot Massachusetts closed for the mluoilty icpoit. Mi. Ilruwn of Indiana consumed the bal- niic-o of the time for Iho mujorlly leport. Ho cl limed that they vvero hound to ob- beivo Ihe slalute of Missouri , which gave power to election judges lo disfranchise Miters or not. 'llm vole Ihen recurred on Ihe substitute for tlio report of the majority of the com- inlllei ) preboulcd by the minority , declailug Mr Joy entitled to his seat , The vole resulted ; Yeas , 10J ; nas , 1-lti The huliHiltule was rejected Mr Hut lows of Mlchlganmoved to iccon- idiU'i. and Mr Springer ot Illinois moved to lay the motion on Ihe table. The repub licans Ihen picelpltutcd another filibuster by making the point ot no quorum on the division and the roll call was taken , the re publicans refraining from voting. The vote was : Yeis , 137 ; nas , S. The house then , t 5 M3 p. m , adjourned. IN TIII : Polph'B lU'goliitlGii ( ( rgurdliifftho Clujtim- llnlncr Trial ) . WASHINGTON , March 28.
