the morning yesterday quite a number of
members and House employees gathered on
the Democratic side of the hall and made
the old chamber ring with the '.Sweet Bye
and Bye" Nearer My God to Thee"
"Whoa, Emma" "Home, Sweet Home
and sold Hundred" A mischievous page,
unnoticed during n Of these songs, took
the Speakers chair and brought the gavel
down with such a thud as to instantly stop
the hilarity, when he added with mock sol
emnity that there was too much noise on
the right Of the Chair. 1t was d moment
before the chorus of singers discovered
that it was neither the act nor voice Of the
Speaker.

from a Pacific Coast standpoint Of local
interest, have been the action taken on the
Chinese question, large appropriations for
a multiplicity Of important objects in the

dispatches, the enactment Of the Silver
bill. the passage Of laws providing for the
sale Of timber lands. the postponement of
the California Congressional elections until

gress, but which go over until next winter,
are the Texas Pacific bill, the Northern
Pacific bill, the specie resumption. and the
bill for the basis Of silver bullion certifi-
Gates.
Anderson, in private, says he made a
proposition that Matthews appear before
the Potter committee that he might ask
him the questions he could not ask him
before the Senate committee. And further
that the Senate not being in session he
could not be punished as a recaIcitrant
witness.

Reported Indian Troubles Diseres-
ited.
ST.. PAUL, Tune II.
Sensational reports from Wisconsin rela-
tive to rumored Indian troubles in the
part Of that State, are utterly
discredited here, at least SO far as they re-
late to any combination Of Minnesota and
Wisconsin Chippewas to attack the whites.
The Chippewas are not warlike Indians,
and as for the Sioux, there are mont in
either State. An Indian outbreak n
where east Of the Missouri river Is a most
distant impossibility.
