Rnsincss Refnrc CONGRESS.

4 very large number uf bills are be-
fore the United States Congress which
we're left over from the last session, but
II is not probable that one-iourth Of
them will be acted upon. The calendar
Of the Senate shows that 2l2 bills are
pending before that body, besides a num-
her of resolutions. Seycntv-four Of the
bills now before the Senate have been
passed hy the House. and 13S are Senate
bills, many Of them being of minor inn
portauce The calendar ut the House Of
Representatives shows that there are
forty-twp bills of n public nature, and
23l uf private character pending before
that body.
Among the bills Of Importance before
this Senate are the three bills amenda-
tory Of the Pacific railroad acts.
The hill 90 cqualizo the bountics OF
soldiers who served in the late war,
which passed the House last session, also
stands upon the Senate calendar, having
been reported favoahly from the COM
mittcc ON military affairs. This bill
passed two years age. on the last day of
the session, hut did not become a law.
The vote upon it's passage IN the Senate
resulted in tie, and the late Nicc-Presi-
dent Wilson gave the deciding vote in the
affirmative
The hill reducing the salary OF the
President Of the United States from $780,
600 90 $3.50 per Gnnum passed last
session, and was vetoed 10y the President
The House last session passed bin 10
repeal the Bankrupt law, and the Senate
committee ON the Judiciary reported it
back without amendment, but also re
ported bin providing Tor the appoint
mont of a commission 10 investigate the
operation Of the several statutes in rcla-
ton 70 bankruptcy, and to recommend
l..-iltion thereon. This bin has never
blcn considered by the Senate, but still

The king Of Burmnh understands that
Russia Is about to invade England: ia
consequence, he il putting his new mud
forts Ia order. He hna purchased three
new Krupp field guns, and with these
feels himself imprcgnnble. He has al
ready tried some of these gums on his
unsuspecting subjects, and finds that the
ordnance answers all expectations. His
majesty personally observed the exhiih-
rating effects u shell and grape and
canister ON village three-quarters 81 %
mile distant from the firing point. The
villagers skipped nimbly about, to tie
great delight of their sovereign lord,
who soon set their village ahame
Rockets were also tried with surprising
effect, especially as one suddenly buGnt
and killed leading palace fnneiionary
who was engaged IN deity training the
missile. His majesty wns 80 incensed al
this that he ordered few shots to be
fired into the shipping in IraWnddy river,
which flows past bis capital Of Mandalay.
Two native craft were observed 30 sink
before the whole of the vessels could cut
and slip. His Burmese majesty Is con
fideut that with his Krupp guns he may
safely defy any such puny foreign power
as Britain On the strength of tAis
opinion his majesty has united his sacred
person b. three more Wiyes, and there is
" sound Of reyelry in Mandalay.
