' It was placed on tho calondar. ? Tho constitutional amendment for tho popnler olootion of United States Senators was introduced and will bo debated Monday. At the elose of tho morning' business tho Bonato proceeded to tho considera tion of oxooutivo bnsinoss tho arbitra tion treaty. Morgan made a speech against it, A long debate is in pros poet. "" Km day.- Tho calendar of business tn the Honato this morning contained only four itoms: The notice by Mr. Turpio ( I >ov.\. ) of Indiana, of his intention to address tho Honato in favor of the pro posed oonstilutional cpnondment to mako United States Senators oloctivo by tbo people, Thb amendment itself, winch i? on tho tabic, and the two Pa cific Railroad bills which were reported Thursdoy. '1 ho numbor of bills intro duced in tho Honato since Monday last, Up to this morning was 708. Mr, But ler, Populist, rof North Carolina, to establish a postal telegraph system; and one ? bv Mr. ('handler, Repub lican, of Now Hampshire, as to lirst and second-class mail matter. On motion of Davis, (Hop. ) of Minne sota, acting chairman of tho committee oil foreign relations, tho Honato at .12:50 p. m. proceeded to oxooutijfr business, aiul at 4 p. ' m. adjourned until Mon i (iuy. The Honato confirmed tho following j nominations; Charles U. Gordon, I postmaster at Chicago; John Hay, t>f j tho District of Columbia, ambassador to (treat Hritaiiu Horace I'ortor, of Now York, ambassador to France; i Ilenry White, of Rhode Island, secro : tary of embassy at London; I'erry H. | Heath, of . Indiana, to bo First Assist i ant Postmaster (Icueral. Monday.- The legislative session of the Honato lasted about to minntos, the ? arbitration treaty holweoii the United j Htates and Great Britain being taken up thereafter, behind closed doors. In :the short open session nearly yoo bills were introduced and many others were reported back froiUivCommittees. In eluded in tho latter were the "free homestead" bill, and the immigration bill, with the provision as to Canadian laborer eliminated, both of which were under consideration in the last Con gress, tho latter failing to bocomo a law owing to President Cleveland's veto. The four great appropriation bills, (he agricultural, the Indiana, the sundry civil and the general deficiency, which also failed for laek' of Mr. Cleve land's signature, and which wore ro iutrodueod jind passed last- week by the House, wore, .referred to the com - mittoo on appropriations. The House joint resolution was passed extending until December next the investigation as to the use oT alcohol in the arts, by a joint commission of Congress. Tuesday. Tho donate indulged iu an almostono-sidod denunciation of the civil Service law and its administration. Only ono Senator, Hodge, defended tho law, and the upshot of it ail was that a motion was agreed to, without a divis- ( ion, but amended so an to instruct tho committee on civil service and retrench ment to inquire and report whether the civil service law should bo continued, amended or repealed. Turpio (Dcm. ), ul' .Indiana, made an argument in favor of a constitutional amendment to make United Htates Senators elected by the popular vote instead of by tho Stato Uogifdaturos. Tlieso bills were passed by the Senate: Directing the Secretary of War to furnish a thousand tents to shelter and relieve tho sutVerers from tho tlood in the Mississippi river; to amend the act repealing the timber cul ture laws. A constitutional amend ment to make the JlOtli of April inauguration day was introduced by Mr. Hoar. HOUSE. / Tiuthsday. ? Tho Speaker laid before tho H onso tho rocoinmondalions of the Postmaster Oonoral for Sir appropria tion of 3200,000 to bo immediately available, to onablo tho government to defray tbo necoHsaryrpxponses of the postal congress which will assemble in Washington iu May next. The Depart ment linds itself in the embarrassing | position of having tho congress on its imnds, and with no means to provide for its reception and entertainment. Henderson (Rep. ), of Ohio, stated the ' eommitteo on ways and moans would not be ready to report until ?ciday, therefore he moved that tho hotlso ad journ until then. . This was agreed on without division, and at 12:10 tho (Touso was declared adjourned by Speaker lleed. Fkjpay. Tho first oxecutive day of tho JIoubo of tbo Fifty-llfth Congress gave every indication of an unusually lively session. "Dingloy, from tho eom mitteo on ways and means, returned tho tariff bill with tho recommendation that it do pass, which, with the ac companying report, was placed on the calendar, and tho general debate will begin Monday and end Thursday. The vote on tho. passage of tho sundry civil bill was: Yeas, 1ft?; nays, Tit. 1 lie Republicans only voted for it, all others against it. Tho reading of tho general deficiency bill was completed at SH0 o'clock," bur its third reading (by title) was ordered without a divis ion, and tho bill was then ?ji)i88ed ? IHl to Mil. One minute later the House ad journed. Tho Democratic members of tho , ways and mpatisco.mmitt.ee have Bubbles or Medals. " Ufest sarsnparillns." When you think of it how contradic tory that term is. lor there can he only on? best in anything ? one best sarsapirilla, as there is one highest mountain, one longest r}ycr,one deepest ocean.

So It was that Oyer's was the only Rarsaparilla admitted to the World's Fair. The committee found it the best They had no room for Anything tfaat was not the best And' as the best, Ayer's Sarsa parilia recet^yt the medal and awards due its merits.

Tho record mode is extraordinary. Tho ^tiriiVbill has boon reported, and an or der regulating its discussion adopted. Four appropriation bills, which faifed to hoootno laws in tho Fifty-fourth Con gress necessary for tho prosecution of important parte of tho public service, canning a total of over seventy-two milium* of dollars, have been passed, with t)io oxoepthm of one .paragraph as they wore lirinlly agreed upon hv tho lant llojiacu Two of the?e, tho aj^ricul tural and Indian, wore considered and disponed of. Tho former, appropr iat vrig 6<H, 183, MO, was passed, as had boon tho huitdvy" ofVl! ami general (lofi oieney hills Friday without change. One feature of tho Indian bill provokod much opposition and was finally striok en out, by unanimous consent, before tho hill pafsod. This was tho para graph opening the gilsonito or asphalt lands in the Uncompaghro reservation, Utah, to entry under the mineral laws, which tho >Sonato added to the bill. The debate on the taril); bill will bogin .Monday. . MonpaY. The tariff dobato was fair ly and regularly star ted in tho House, 'ihe reading of the bill occupied nearly two ..hour* and a half, although there '?was no pretense on tho pur t of the (dork that he was following tho text in full. Din^ley, (Hop.) of Maine, .mado tho opening speech, and it was an exhaiis tivo explanation and defense of the .measure. Wheeler, ( l)om. ) of Alabama, asserted that tho prosperity which the poople of the United States had enjoy ed had boon tho result of .their own- in dustry and onergy; not of the protect ivo system, ote. Ho Was followed by Hop kins, (Hep. ) of Illinois, in favor of the bill, and against it by Hell, (Hop.) of (.'(dorado. ; At 5 o'clock a recess whs taken until1 d n. in., when the eontinu uneoof the debate was had.

His eloquent periods in advocacy and defense of tho protective tarill policy aroused his political associ ates to a high state of enthusiasm. Other speeches on the bill were mado l>3' Messrs (jibson, (Hep ) of Tennossoo; 1 a.ooy, (Hep ) of Iowa; Xewlands, (Sil. ) of ('(dorado, tho latter of whom spoke as tin opponent of the HepuhSicau party's finatieial policy, but as an advocate of protection. A full measure of prosperity, ho claimed, would never be restored to the com try until the old-time parity of silver with gold was re-established. The HpCoelu-H in opposition to tho bit! were made bv Doekery, (Hem.) of Missouri, who at tacked the agricultural schedule, par ticularly, and Mr. Mcl.-aurin, (l)om.) of f-'onth Carol in a,/ Jw ho advocated a tarift'on cotton ami $foo.nnd announced his opposition to the policy of free raw material.
