Who shall say that the stories of sea-ser-
pents are fabulous when the fossil remains of
two monstrous creatures answering to the
nsual description of this mythical marine
reptile have been found in New-Jersey
hnarl pitt But these bones belong to another
geological period, it will be said This does
not, prove that some stray descendants of
these huge serpents may not still be cruising
about the ocean. The hppopotamus and the
alligator have outlived their epoch, and the
great dodO of South America, only recently
become extinct, was a relic of an antedilu-
Eian age.
Time out of mind the Democrats hav G car
tied the city of Boston at the Mayoralty elec-
tion through their control of the large Irish
vote. Yesterday there was a sharp turn in
the tide which has so long run in their favor
DIR Green, the Republican and Citizens candi-
nats for Mayor, was elected over Albert
Palmer, the Democratic candidate, by ma
jority Of $50. On the Democratic side the
contest appears to have been purely partisan

ENGLAND AND IRELAND.
THE IRISH AGITATION.

LONDON, Feb, 12.--At the Longprea
session, one Haden, land Lacquer, has
been sentenced to three months impris-
onment and bound over to keep the peace
for one year for seditious speech, IN
which he declared himself an Irish re-
publican, owing no allegiance to the Brit
ish crown and calling on his hearers to
strike a final blow for the independence of
Ireland.
In the commons last night O'Donnell,
home rule leader from Dugarvan, moved
to omit high treason from the list of
crimes, on suspicion of which persons are
liable to arrest under the bill for protect
ion of person and property in Ireland. He
declared there was not scrap Of evidence
of the existence of reasonable move
ment. Right Hon. Hugh Law, attorney
general for Ireland, said that documents
had been found in circulation indicating
the existence of reasonable conspiracy
and gave as an instance recent Fenian
proclamation. Forster, chief secretary
for Ireland, added that the government
had reason to believe there were q few
persons IN Ireland who were capable of
taking advantage of the present excite.
ment TO incite reasonable practices. The
O'Donnell amendment was then rejected.
DUBLIN, Feb. 12.-The nationalist press
denounces the arrest of Davitt, but there
is a marked moderation in the tone of
most of the articles. They advise the
leaguers to stand firm and not leave the
country Flight would, they say, give
more satisfaction to the government than
their arrest The toiling men in Ameri-
ca, who have contributed largely toward
the land league fund, will naturally not
be pleased with anything like stampede
from Ireland to escape from tyranny. If
Parnell and Brennan 60 to America and
Egan remains in Paris, 1t looks as if the
of the ladies. They are hardly equal to
the difficult task likely to be delegated to
them by the superior six.
The London correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian, says: Parnell, by
his continued absence, is endangering so
much of his position as remains to him.
He has virtually abdicated the leadership
of the Irish party in parliament, which
is now utterly disorganized. O'Kelly
and Barry have not been in the House
fora week, and their whereabouts Is I'M
known.
The Freenaan's journal says: The fact
that Parnell did not remain all the time
in Paris was due to friendly intimation
that the French government is not to be
depended on in case of an emergency to
fully recognize the rights of private in
dividuals to control money invested in
their names. Parnell, O'Kelly, Eagan,
Harris, Brennan, Dillon and Biggar held
consultation IN Paris afterwards. Par
nell, Dillon, B1ggar and O'Kelly
returned to London to par
ticipate in Mondays sitting in
the commons, Eagan will remain in Paris.
The others return to London Monday or
Tuesday Walsh is still in London. After
passage of the coercion bill about dozen
Irish members, including O'Kelly,
O'Donoghue, Arthur, O'Connor, Biggar
and Redmond, will proceed to Ireland to
address their constituencies and carry
out the further organization of the land

House of REPRESENTATIVES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE bill re-
ported by the Inter- Oceanic Canal COM
mittee in aid of the ship railroad gave
rise to noisy and disorderly struggle
over the question whether the report has
been authorized. Finally, on motion of
Mr. Cox, the whole subject was laid on
the table by an almost unanimous UtuG u0ce
vote.
The morning hour having been dis
pensed with, the speaker proceeded to
call the States in order to enable one
member from each State to ask unani-
nous consent for passage of any bill COM
ing over from yesterday. The bill regu-
lating the importation of raw mater
ial used IN the construction
or repair of vessels engaged in foreign
trade, including the trade between the
Atlantic and Pacific ports of the United
States or built on foreign account, was,
on motion of Mr. Frye, amended so as
to provide that the duties on copper and
spelter of foreign growth or production,
which is manufactured in the United
States and used in the construction,
equipment and repair of vessels to be en-
ployed in foreign trade or built on for
eign account, may be imposed in bond
under such regulations as the secretary of
the treasury may prescribe, and on proof
that such materials have been used and
manufactured for the purposes aforesaid
no duties shall be paid thereon.
Mr.. Bright offered an amendment adj
hitting salt free of duty, but it was ruled
out on point of order, and the bill as
amended then passed.
The Senate bill amending the charter
of the Freedmen's Saving and Trust COM
pany was passed.
Mr.. Olymar, from the committee on ap-
preparations, reported back the army ap-
preparation bill with the Senate amend
ments, recommending concurrence in
some and inconvenience in others of
those amendments, and the recommends
tions were agreed to.
Mr.. Atkins, chairman of the commit
tee, reported back the bill appropriating
money to be used under direction of the
navy department, to prosecute search
for the steamer Jeanette of the Arctic
exploring expedition.
Mr.. Thompson, of Kentucky, objected
to it's present consideration, and it was
referred to the committee of the whole.
The House then went into committee,
Mr.. Carlisle in the chair, on the river and
harbor appropriation bill, the general de-
bate being limited to thirty five minutes.
The clerk having proceeded to read the
bill by sections, Mr.. Randall offered an
amendmedt to the appropriating clause
of the bill, providing that the secretary
of war shall cause to be let by contract
all public works provided for in this act
to the lowest responsible bidders, pro-
vided that in opinion of the secretary of
war the interests of the government
should not be materially injured there
by. Agreed to.
Other amendments offered were re-
iected, and finally at 4:40 the first para
graph of the bill, the appropriating
clause, was disposed Of.
In forty minutes more than forty pages
of the bill had been considered, when the
committee rose and the House adjourned.

o. The Chicago trains due here yesterday
over the Milwaukee & st. Paul and ST..
Paul 6 Omaha roads being behind time
several hours, with no certainty as to the
time of their coming in, inquiry
was made at the office Of
the two companies, and it was
learned that the missing trains, with
many others were delayed by snowdrifts
in central and southwestern Wisconsin.
As to the prospects for last night and to-
day no information could be had, except
that there was good deal of snow and a
drifting wind all along the lines beyond
Camp Douglas and La Crosse. The Iowa
s. Minnesota division of the Milwaukee
& St. Paul was reported still open, al
though q good part of the road is below
the northern trace of the storm, which
prevailed from Milwaukee to Omaha.
The North Wisconsin road was reported
wholly open. From the western di-
visions of the st. Paul & Omaha the re-
ports were very discouraging. A drift
ing wind prevailed from Lake Crystal
westward, which at Sioux Falls and
Sioux City was the worst blizzard of the
season. The working party of the Sioux
City division, which Friday evening was
within about nine miles of St. James,
with fair prospect Of being through, a
passenger train from the west, which
was following them. was compelled to
suspend work that afternoon, and yester-
day morning a party with hand sleds was
sent out to bring the men into st. James
The passenger train remains at Mountain
Lake, where it has now been for three or
four DAYS At and beyond Sioux City the
storm was terrific. The Nebraska lines
of the ST. Paul & Omaha are buried out
of sight, and no train have moved in or
out at Omaha for twenty-foT hours.
North and northwest from st. Paul the
situation was not so bad The wind
was blowing sixteen to nineteen miles
an hour from the north and
carried enough snow into the tracks to
delay the movement Of passenger trains
md cause the suspension of some freight
trains; but up to 10 P. NJ. the st. Paul &
Manitoba, Northern Pacific and st. Paul
& Duluth roads had not been reached by
the storm which had prevailed for about
thirty-s{x hours in Wisconsin, Iowa, Ne
bras1a and Southern Dakota.
As usual the Associated Press CORE
spondent at Chicago imagines the whole
Northwest to be covered by the local
storm of which he has heard something.
The Northwest is too large field for him
TO comprehend or write about, and he
should be advised to confne himself to
