number of bills, niostof tly?n survivors
of tbo last Congress, wore introduced
and referred. dear, (Hop. ) of Iowa,
from the committee on 1 act ft o rail
roads, reported tne bill, which was
ponding last session, for the adjust
! mont oftho government debt through
; a commission, to oonaist of the Hecro
I tarv of the Treasury, the Secretary of
S tho Interior and the AttorneyUonoral.
' 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

There's the rub! You can measure mountain height and ocean

Congress olosed with to-day's session
Of tuo\m>uso of ItoiheHontftUveH. 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.
Turbo ay. ? The llouse had tho second
day's debate on tho tai ilT bill. The
event of the day was the speech of Dol
liver. lie held the attention of the
wholo House, Democrats and Uopubli
cans alike, for over one hour, and k( pt
his hearers laughing heartily nearly
from start to finish by his humor
ous doscript on of the efleots of
freo trade, or tarilV for revenue only.
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. 'Ihe Senate joint resolution
