UNITED STATES CONGRESS-.

After Messrs. Edmunds and Hoar had given their objections in the Senate to MT. Bayard's Deputy Marshals bill and two or three Republican amendments had been rejected, the Democrats passed the measure without discussion by a party vote of 28 yeas to IT nays. The appropriations Committees amendments to the Legislative bill were adopted and the bill passed. In spite of the objec- tions of the Republicans, it was voted to lay aside the Kellogg matter and take up next MT. Morgan's resolution regarding the electoral count. ,.. .--..-....- =

 The Senate passed bill to erect a statue of Professor Henry on the Smithsonian Institution grounds and the Carlisle Internal Revenue bill, and spent the remainder of long session in dis cussing MT.

 The Senate passed large number of pension bills and discussed at great length the bill providing for the appoint ment of supervisors of election by the President, the chief speeches being made by Messrs. Conkling, Mcdonald, Teller and Voorhees,.
 Ex-Governor Brown was sworn in as the successor to General Gordon, and the Pension Deficiency bill was amended by the addition of number of items and passed. Messrs.

The House amended and passed the bill regarding trespassers upon the pub lie lands. A number of bills reported by the same committee and several private bills were also passed. The Duffy-Mason | contested election was decided in favor of MT. Mason and the Sundry Civil bill was reported.
 The House refused by the bare major ity of Ill to 107 to go into Committee on the tariff bills and spent the day on the Sundry Civil bill, making, however, very little progress, owing to the obstruc- | tive efforts of the members who were prevented on Saturday from getting through their bills for public buildings. There is 8 general understanding among the members of the Senate Appropria- tions Committee that the date which the House fixed for the final adjournment must be postponed June 10 may be SC, lected, but he general opinion is that the session will be indefinitely post | poned.
 l The House passed the bill providing for the erection of statue to Professor Henry, and made considerable progress with the Sundry Civil bill. The items most discussed were those for public buildings, the geodetic surveys and fol accommodations for the accommodating silver coin, which last was finally strick en from the bill.
 The House agreed to the Senate amendments to the Carlisle Interna Revenue bill, and got half way through the Sundry Civil bill in Committee of the Whole, the most important action upo1 it being refusal to increase the appro priation for the National Board of Healtl and the adoption of an amendment, by vote of 85 to 26, providing that thu money expended under the bill should
 be in silver coin. Mr. Warner made , protest against the appropriation for tn,
