CONGRESS.
a quiet Session Of the Senate-Orth's
Break i'm the HOuse-NepOtism.

Spccial Dispatch to the Register.
WASHINGTON. January 5.-When the Sem
ate met, this morning, tifty-one members
were present, anl Senator Davis presided
with his usual dignity. Nothing of inter
est transpired during the session, and not
much will be done this week. The first
fight will be over the Morrill, tariff bill,
which it is thought will pass although both
Garland and Beck, who have made study
of the question, will oppose it bitterly.
The fact that the Morrill, bill does not COM
nit those voting for it TO any policy, either
protection or free trade, simply providing
for the appointment of a committee, Will
give it great strength as but few i'll either
branch OF Congress desire to place them
selves squarely on the recordon this mixed
question.
the session was more sensational. GoilOye
s. Orth, of Indiana, who WAS badly mixed
up in the Venzucla frauds some years ago,
but who is a man of real ability and con-
siderable nerve, made personal explana-
tiOn, in,which he took occasion to eEcoriate
the Speaker in true parliamentary style.
COolly and deliberately he proceeded 10 an
nounCe in effect that Mr. kiefer had disre-
garded all customs OF parliamentary usage
and the courtesy which had always been
extended to old members, and in caustiC,
cutting words announced that such conduct
was unheard of and without excuse. He
then announced that at the proper time he
would move for change in the method of
appointing the committees, and declined to
serve on those to which he had been as
signed.
Nepotism.
In accordance with the usual custom,
Post Master General Howe has already pro-
vided his son, Frank II. Howe, with
snug place in the Department. Howe, Jr.,
is a Clyer young fellow, and is probably as
well deserving the place as half those now
occupying others, but it looks, somehow,
little of. in the old gentleman, to COM
menCe the work of providing for relatives,
before he is well warmed in his seat. G.

Military Precautions in Dublin.
DUBLIN, June H.-The Freeman's Journal
publishes document purporting to be circu-
lar from the Commander of the Dublin Dis
trict, giving the military dispositions to be OBJ
served in the event of any disturbance in the
city. The document states that the whole gar
rison is held in readiness to turn out under
arms. The artillery is to be furnished with
full complement of ammunit ion. A tabulated
form of points to be occupied or used as field
hospitals is appended The Freeman's Journal
says the circular is marked "strictly confden-
tial." 1t has reason to believe that the docu-
ment is not hoax.

RIVERS AND HARBoRS.
The Appropriation Bill Passed by the
TJA11ca

The Appropriation Bill Passed by the
House.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1.-THE House
passed the river and harbor bill, practically as
amended this afternoon. The Senate will al
SO pass it promptly. The only amendment OF
consequence added to the bill was added today.
1t provided that the work to be done should, so
far as was possible, be let by contract. This
provision has been embodied in every recent
river and harbor bill. The discussion over the
clause appropriating for the improvement OF
the Mississippi lent interest to the otherwise
dull proceedings OF today 1t resulted IN strlk-
ing ont the words, s'sole and exclusive in the
proviso prohibiting the use of any portion OF
the money appropriated to the exclusive use OF
building and repairing levees and for the pro-
lection and reclamation OF riparian lands.
This elision strengthens the proviso. The
House refused to reduce the amount appropri-
ated, 100000 to $1,000,000; refused TO vest
the secretary of war with exclusive authority
to expend the money; refused to set apart
$3.50, 900 to enable Capt. John Cowdar and as
sociates to try the Lake Borgne outlet expert
ment; refused to strike ont all the provisions
of the bill and insert a general appropriation
of $5,C00,000 to be expended in the discretion
of the secretary of war in the improvement OF
the principal rivers and hRrbors of the country.
Messrs. Holman, Brown and Calkins OF Indi-
ana headed the opposition to the recognition OF
the Mississippi river commissioner the appro-
priation. They wanted the secretary of war to
expend the money. They did not want any
money expended for the protection or reclama-
tion of the lands bordering the river. The
Mississippi river commission was too strongly
intrenched in the House to be affected by their
onslaught The Cowdar proposition was not
even discussed. The bill passed by nearly a
two-thirds majority The commerce committee
has never gotten the river and harbor bill
through SO easily. The overhowing treasury
and the southern and western thirst for streams
from behind its dam account for it.

BUNKER HILL DAY.
How Boston Observed the Ami
versary Of the Battle.
AN IMMENSE LAND LEAGUE DEM
ONSTRATION.

BOSTON, June 17,-Bunker Hill day was OBJ
served in much the usual holiday manner, by
suspension of business, decoration OF buildings,
aquatic and athletic sports, exercises at the
monument, military parades and fireworks in
the evening. The most prominent feature of
the days proceedings was the Irish demon
stratiou at the Mechanics Fair building under
the auspices of tbs combined Irish American
societies of Massachusetts,. Although many
of the moro prominent speakers advertised, in
cluding Michael Dayitt did not put in an ap-
pearance, the attendance at the mass meeting
exceeded 10000, and the proceedings were
characterized by much enthusiasm. The gath
ering was essentially land league affair, the
chairman in opening the meeting stating that
it had for its object the extension of sympathy
and substantial aid to the downtrodden people
of ireland, and to record a particular protest
against misgovernment of the Irish Ex-May-
or Prince presided, and on the platform were
many prominent Irish Americans. The prin-
cipal address was made by Senator Jones of
Florida, who held the audience for nearly two
hours, his speech being an extended review OF
the Irish land question, and arraignment OF
English misrule. The resolutions adopted ex
tend to the down trodden and landlord ridden
tenantry of Ireland hearty sympathy and re-
newal of assurances OF moral and material
support in their present desperate struggle
against oppression of England, commend the
policy of Parnell and his associates, protest
against thelarbritary ,tyranraical and unjust ac-
tion of the British government in holding the
Irish people accountable for the atrocious
murders of Cavendish and Burke, and using
this as pretext for passing new coercion
bill which will ba moro oppressive than any
edict that an autocrat would dare enforce; rec
ognize sthe inherent and inalienabie right of
every people held forcibly in subjection con-
trary to their desires, wishes and well being to
use all justifabls means for breakingsthe yoke
that binds them, and pledge hearty support so
far as consistent with American citizenship to
brethren in Ireland in any and every intelli-
gent and timely effort they may make to secure
legislative and national Independence.
E. Moody Boynton was the next speaker, he
was followed by Hon. P. a. Collins, ex-Presi-
dent of the land league of America: In bis
address he spoke of the alleged disafection Of
Davitt with recognized tenets of the land
league, and said that the league was not found
ed upon men but upon principles which were
as solid and lasting as the land itself.
A large number of sympathetic letters were
received from prominent people on both sides
the water including many congressman, Rosco
Conkling, John Kelley, T. P. O'Connor and
Justin Mccarthy.
