1 Lieutenant J. W. Denenhower had an in terview with Secretary Chandler yesterday with reference to having the remains of the l Jeannette crew, found in Siberia by Engineer | Melville, transported to this country for proper interment in places selected by their families. The Secretary has referred the matter to a special committee consisting of Captain Walker, Captain English and Surgeon General Wales, who will report upon the expediency of applying to Congress for assistance in this matter. Charles Long Sing, the Chinese steward of the Jeanette, who accompanied Lieutenant Danenhower home from Siberia, was today discharged from the service of the United States on his own application in order to al- low him an opportunity to go to his home in China to see his parents. Lieutenant Dauen- hover has also interested himself in the case of Master Putnam, of the steamer Rodgers, who was lost on an ice Hoe, and will call upon the Secretary of the Treasury and quest that revenue cutter be sent in search of hlm Lieutenant Danenhower will go to Capon springs, West Virginia, on Tuesday next.
 Though the House has adopted a resolution to adjourn on the 10th of July, the session, Tn the general opinion, is more likely to last until the 20th. The Senate is somewhat be- hindhand with it's share of the business and In the House matters move slowly. The in- CoA HUI IoHCAuo D1lI "dS uOt COu1pActSu y0SLoE day and will not probably get to the Senate before Tuesday evening The naval appro- priation bill will be debated at some length in both houses. The bill renewing charters of national banks has been so greatly changed in the Senate that 1t is likely to receive further discussion in the House. An effort will be made to pass bankrupt bill, and the sundry civil bill has not yet been consi tered in either house. The bill for the expenses of the Gar field funeral will occupy day or two, and it Is probable that day may be devoted to a discussion of the manner in which the Re- publican Congressional committee is levying assessments upon the officeholders. If the extreme heat of yesterday should continue, however, the number of those who want to hurry through necessary business and adjourn would rapidly increase.
 A fast mail service between Boston and New Orleans is partially arranged. The time will be decreased twenty four hours. Political Assessments-A Circular from
