A New Fashion, Perhaps, in Dogs.

Among the gifts that reached the German
Empress last Christmas Eve was one sent to
Her Majesty by the Empress of Japan, which
has created quite sensation among Berlinese
naturalists. This novel and interesting pres
eut consisted of a couple of Japanese dogs, the
first of their kind ever imported into the Faith
erland. But for the shortness of their ears they
would bear general resemblance to the varie-
ty of spaniel known as King Charles. They
are long-haired and silky, snowy white in col
or, with few black spots on the body, and
with black heads. Their most remarkable
feature is their eyes, which are extraordinarily
large and lustrous, and which, it seems, as
they grow older increase in size until they at
tain the dimensions of shilling piece.
These funny dogs" moreover, are snub-
nosed, and of unusual breadth, for their
stature, across the forehead. They arrived
at the palace in charge of a Japanese official,
who had conveyed them all the way from Yed-
do to Berlin carefully packed in a handsome
kennel, the interior of which was luxuriously
lined with silken cushions. Boiled rice is "the
chief Of their Diet and grave doubts are en-
tertained by the Berlin Geological authorities
with respect to their acclmatization. The en-
inent animal-painter, Sperling, has been COM
missioned by the Empress to take their por-
traits. OF different sexes, they are exactly
alike in size, shape, marks and points, and
their lack of class affinity with any variety of
European dog has already given rise to lengthy
and learned discussion in the Berlin Canine
Club Hector, of which Prince Charles the
Emperor's only surviving brother, is President.
The Empress sent them down, kennel and all
to the clubhouse on the 9TH ultimo, for inspec-
ton at general meeting of the members
specially convoked for that purpose, and it is

troops not under command of officers of the
United States or anynational authority will not
be likely to prove in future dangerous prac-
tice and whether any legislation or opinion by
Congress on the subject be desirable Mr..
Hoar said the resolution had no relevance to
the coming Inauguration but such precedent
might hereafter prove dangerous.
Mr.. Conkling thought the time for the in
quiry napportune and asked that the resolution
lie over under the rule.
Mr.. Hereford construed the resolution in al.
lowing the regular army to attend and forbid
ding Of voluntary organizations as the an
niouncement OF doctrine dangerous to the
liberties of the people.
Inc resolution was laid over.

reply to the letter of Secretary Schurz.

that it could not pass the Senate.

THE SENATE'S DIGNITY.
The Chinese Treaty Inquiry Falling into
Disrepute with Senator'S

The Chinese Treaty Inquiry Falling into
Disrepute with Senators.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-There seems to be a
revolt against the conduct of the Senate com
mittee on privileges and elections in reference
to the premature publication of the Chinese
treaties. Some of the Senators have thus far
failed to obey the summons of the committee
to appear before them for the purpose of max
ing answer to series of questions. At the
executive session of yesterday, Mr. Salisbury
called attention to the refusal of Senators to
respond to the invitation of the committee,
and proceeded to lecture the delinquents for
their failure to manifest proper appreciation
of the outraged dignity of the Senate. Mr..
Salisbury appealed to Senators to assist his
committee in maintaining the dignity of the
body, but was forced to admit, from the appar-
ent Indifference with which his remarks were
received, that the investigation had become
very discouraging. 1t is evident that large
number of Senators are heartily ashamed of
this entire business, and that they are deter
mined not to permit Mr.. Salisbury and his
colleagues on the committee of elections to ex-
pose them to the rid icule which is sure to at
tend this proceeding should it be continued to
that point where the doings of the committee
will be made public. 1t is not likely now that
the newspaper correspondents who obtained
the treaties will be called upon to tell where
they obtained them.

The Sound Steamers Detained "a Hours
by Ice and Snow.
All the Sound steamers which were due
here early yesterday morning failed to reach
their docks in this city yesterday owing to the
immense foes of ice which impeded their pas
sage. The boats left their respective piers at
Newport, Providence and Norwich at the
usual hour Wednesday night. When within
one hundred miles of this city the fog hung
heavy over huge cakes of ice which stretched
away on either side. The fleet worked its way
TO a point above Hart's Island, which was
reached late in the afternoon, and the fog was
then so dense that the commanders of the
boats would not take the risk of attempting to
work passage through He'll Gate channel,
and remained where they were until this
morning. when the fog soon lifted and they
came to their respective piers.
