CONGRESSIONAL.
A. the session Of Congress passes, inter-
ct increases; business nultiplies; daily
sessions lengthen; shorter speeches; less
talk and more work. This has been busy
week. The Income Tax bin hes been con.
tested hard, and was passed yesterday In the
House BY vote Of III yeas to n nays, at 3
per cent, and On exemption Of $500 on .
vote Of 138 to 50. This i deemed victory,
though . part only, and the friends Of tho
measure entirely abolishing the Income Tax
say they will have another slice next year.
The Sandwich Island reciprocity treaty was
defeated In the Senate on the Cd, by 20 to
II, . two.thirds vote being necessary to

i'-dusncial and anti reciprocity-was too
heavy for it, champion. Mr.. Sumner. The
San Domingo treaty is next in order. The
President has sent in his special message
npon the matter-the points Of which are
