Springfield, 14.- The deadlock in the Illinois house of representatives continued yesterday, the democrats leaving the hall when the election contest of Bradwell vs. McNally was broached, thus breaking the quorum. The doorkeeper was instructed by those remaining to bring in the absentees, and during his absence certain democratic members attempted to re-enter the hall but finding the doors locked, tore a door from the casings, entered and took their seats, and the house soon after adjourned. Both parties met in caucus last evening but there was no arrangement toward settling the differences. Ex-Governor Palmer advised the democrats to stand by the position taken.
