The Coercion Bill-Passed to its Second
 Reading English Members Ranying
 to the Home Rule Standard-A War.
 rant Out for Parnell.
 LONDON, Feb. 9-In the House of Con- mons to-day able and earnest speeches in op- position were made by Thomas Sexton, M. P. for Sligo, Rev. I. Nelson, M. P. for Mayo (Home Ruler) and others. MT. Forster's coercion bill passed to it's second reading by vote of 359 against 56. The vote shows the increasing strength of the opposition to the bill. The recruits to the Home Rule side are from those members more or less pronounced Radicals and Liberals who are their opinions in the recent struggle on &C., count of their dislike of the obstruction tac- tics of the Irish members. Mir. Forster in his speech denied that the coercion bill was being hurried through at breakneck speed. On the contrary, he said all reasonable iber- ty of speech and discussion would be per- mitted, and when the bill got into Committee of the Whole there should be no restriction of debate to any really desirable extent. MT. Forster added that by the coercion bill the Land League was not so much aimed at as other purposes wished, for the great desire of the government was to stop intimidation in Ireland and enable the ordinary course of judicial proceedings in the courts to go on.
 There is rumor that a warrant has been issued for the apprehension of Parnell.

Bonanza Story-ValuabIe Ore Discov-
 the Quartz Fields.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.-The steamer Cal ifornia, thirteen days from Sitka, brings sen- sational news that Alaska is afflicted with the gold fever. Some two months ago genuine quartz croppings were discovered near the Token river, about eighty miles north of Sitka. The indications were so strong that the discovery created an excitement which has increased with every breath of news Specimens of quartz brought from visit to the mines by Captain Carroll have assayed as high as $3, 900 to the ton. Itis of whitish yellow, profusely sprinkled with sulphur rock. The rock is rich enough if found in large quantities to make bonanza prince of every man in Sitka. AS no means of transpor- tation can be furnished until the California returns, the excited merchants will have to remain in Sitka at present. According to the best authenticated reports, however, they are pulling down their stores and packing their mining implements for trip to the Token district, aad when the California goes back she will transfer the landing station into a busy mining camp. At present there are fifty men in the gold field, though Captain Carroll says but eleven claims have been To- cated. The miners cannot work before the end of March, but while waiting for the snow to melt the adventurers will lay out their town. The California will take back all the lumber she can carry.

FORTY-SNTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON. Feb.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.
 SENArE.-No business beyond routine busi- ness of the morning hour was transacted by the Senate before proceeding to the House for the purpose of participating in the electo- raI count Mir. Ingalls, offered a resolution for the appointment of 8 committee of three Senators to sit during the recess, with au- thority to employ 8 clerk and stenographer, to inquire into the state of the law relative to the adjustment of pension claims, and re- port what legislation is necessary to secure prompt settlement of such claims. The reso- lution was ordered printed and laid over.
 The Senate returned to their chambers at 2:40. when MT. Hamlin submitted the report of the tellers on the count, which was read and ordered to be entered on the journal of the Senate. MT. Han1lin then offered a reso- lution like that offered by Mr. Crowley in the House, and it was adopted.
 After some unimportant business had been disposed of, the Senate resumed considera- ton of the pension bill. MT. Beck appealed to the Senate to vote down the pending amendment appropriating $2o0, GOO for an extra clerical force, and said proper amendment to the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill could be prepared after consultation with the commissioner of pensions, the adjutant and surgeon general, and put upon that bill.
 After protracted debate Mir. Booth moved to lay the amendment on the table l; agreed to by 8 vote of 27 to IS.

A skinfuI Surgical Operation.

The little son of MT. N. W. Taylor, land lord of the City Hotel, was attacked with membranous croup on Saturday and yester- day was in a dying condition from suffoca- tion. All other efforts at relief having failed, it was decided to open the air passage of the throat and insert tube. The operation was performed successfully by Dr. M. M. John son, assisted by Dr. George F. Hawley and after air was pumped into the exhausted lungs respiration began again and the little patient experienced instant relief and soon sank into quiet sleep. Raymond, r''Tim" as he is better known, is very bright little fellow, about four years old, and great fa- vorite with the permanent guests at the ho- tel. He is still in a critical condition, but there are good reasons to hope for his recov- erY-Rnrtf0rd Coatr07lt.

HousE.-The House went into Committee
 of the Whole on the legislative appropriation bill but it's consideration was interrupted by the count of the electoral vote, after which
 the House resumed its legislative business and again went into Committee of the Whole sideration of the bill was completed at 2:3O in Committee of the Whole and it was then reported to the House and passed. It was not materially amended The passage of the legislative bill after consideration of only two days is so remarkable as to be worthy of particular record.
 MT. Sparks gave notice of motion to go to business on the House calendar, his ob- ject being to get up the bill for the relief of Fitz John Porter. MT. Frye antagonized this with a motion to take up the resolution in relation to taking up bills from the calendar and having them considered. The proposi- tion, as submitted by the Committed on Rules, was that on each day when the morn ing hour is dispensed with the hour shall be devoted to the call of States, when members shall be called in rotation and if five members do not object to the bill it shall be considered. During the discussion of the matter MT. Blackburn raised the question whether majority of the Committee on Rules was present when the resolution was ordered to be reported. MT. Frye admitted that @ quorum was not present, but said the question had afterwards been submitted to the members of the committee individually and majority had agreed to it. It was un- fortunate that MT. Blackburn could not be found.
 MT. Blackburn said the records of the House would bear out the statement that he was always here and could easily have been found.
 MT. Frye said supposing that should turn out to be true, still the gentleman could not be found
 MT. Blackburn walked across the hall me- nacingly and wanted to know whether Mir. Frye meant to question the truth of what he said. It looked as if 8 row was brewing, but it was all smoothed over satisfactorily, and at subsequent stage of the proceedings when tellers were demanded the Speaker ap- pointed Messrs. Blackburn and Frye to act as such, and when they advanced and shook hands the House applauded. The resolution was adopted as reported by MT. Frye by a vote of 147 to 70 and the House shortly after adjourned.

 LONDON, Feb. 9. A later dispatch from Durban says the al- legged repulse of the Boers by General Colley is regarded as a questionable success. The fear that the British got the worst of the en- gagement seems to be confirmed by the latest authentic intelligence from the scene of action. The Boers threaten to invest all the roads leading toward Newcastle from either Durban and Cape Town and stopped all transports. General Colley telegraphs that he has obtained a decided advantage over the Boers, but outside of official circles, which are reticent of information as to de- tails, the extent of the reported victory is questioned It is announced from the War office that the necessity of reinforcing Gen. eral Colley is now more urgent than ever.

 Worthy Cause.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL. COURIER:
 It is believed that many persons have articles that would be useful in the rooms of the Young Women's Christian association, which they would willingly give but for the trouble of sending them, and, possibly, for the fear that small gifts and furniture that has been already used would not be well come.
 We think it desirable, therefore, to repeat the request for plain, substantial furniture of any kind, suitable for either reading room, lecture room or dressing room and would say that if the address is left at MT. F. T. Jarman's bookstore, Church street, every thing offered will be called for on Saturday afternoon.
 For the lecture room one hundred or more seats will be needed. It is not important 1 that they should be uniform, and single chairs even, or plain settees will be acceptable. Also chairs for the reading room, book shelves, supplies of stationery, framed pho tographs or other pictures for the walls, small or large reading tables a looking glass, towels, soap, hooks, etc., for the dressing room would all be gratefully received. Dona- 1 tions of readable and valuable books will of course Le most welcome. Though many have given generously in l money, yet, in view of the amount required to carry out efficiently the higher aims of this association, and the necessity of cautious be- l ginning even in a good and greatly needed work, which depends wholly on the public approval and sympathy for it's income, we l feel reluctance to expend more of this money than is absolutely necessary for fur nishing, hoping that our citizens will con- 1 tribute the articles themselves. May we ask our merchants, furniture deal l CTS and housekeepers, who have met all char
