House OF Representatives.
WAsHrNGroE, January S1st.-Springer of.
fered resolution requesting the President to
obtain a list of American citizens in Eaglish
prisons.
After an animated and meaningless discus
sion, the resolution was adopted.
The Speaker stated the regular order to be
the question of reference of the joint resolu-
ton introduced some weeks ago by Robson
of New Jersey to declare certain lands here
tofoEe granted to railroad companies for
feited, aud restore them to the public do
main, and open the same to settlers.
Robson stated that since he had introdu ;ed
the measure several bills had been intro
on Pacific Railroads. He had dis
covered that he had not included
all the railroads, though such had been his
intention He therefore withdrew the reso-
luton and introduced in lieu resolution
which applied to all railroads except the Pa.
cifc railroads, in relation to which bills had
already been introduced.
After some debate the resolution was re-
ferred 70 the Committee on Judiciary.
TIE House went into Committee Of the
Whole Brown of Indiana in the chair) on the
public calendar.
The bill was called to establish home for
INDECENT soldiers and sailors.
After considerable discussion the commit
tee, without action, rose, and the annual post
route bill was reported and passed.

The Chinese Immigration BIZ.
WASHINGTON. January 3lst. - When
Senator Miller last week gave notice that
he would ask the Senate to take up the
Chinese immigration bill on the 1st day of
February, it was generally believed that the
three-psr cent. funding bill would by that
time be out of the way; but as the latter
measure is still undisposed of there is no pos
sibility of any opportunity being found to-
morrow to call up any other business. There
are also other obstacles in the way OF bring
ing the Chinese bill before the Senate for
action this week, arising from the notices
given by various Senators prior to General
Miller's, that they desired to make speeches
on the Tariff Commission bill as soon as the
funding bill would be disposed OF, and on the
whole it now seems likely that the Chinese
bill will not be reached in the Senate before
the middle of next week at the earliest.
The PresIdeat's Delay in Making Nomi-
nations.
WAsH1NGToS, January S1st.-Some Re-
publican Senators are very much disap-
pointed because the nominations they ex-
pected have not been sent IL. Several
Western Senators, who called upon the Pres
ident again to-day in regard TO appointments,
were once more told that they would have to
wait few days, and they left the White
House in anything but good humor. The
Impotence at the Presidents delay is begin
ming to manifest itself quite freely. There
is much speculation as to his motive for de-
laying nominations, bat nobody seems TO be
able to explain it.
