| THE SENATE DISCUSSES WOOL.
Wool and sugar are the great revenue
producing items OF the tariff, and the dis
cussion Of either is interesting. To-day
the Senate devoted itself to the considera-
ton OF the wool schedule, which it will
probably finish tomorrow. While II is
claimed that the committees bill reduces
the duty on wool, Democratic senators con-
tend that this, by reason OF change OF
classification, is more apparent than real.
Governor Vance, who Is taking an impor-
tant part in the tariff debates, declares
there is no reduction on the finer woods.
Mr.. Morrill,, the chairman, said that he re-
gretted that 4 reduction had to be made,
but it could not now be avoided. He
was prepared to resist either IN increase
or a reduction, however, on the commit
tees schedule. Mr.. Bayard gave notice
that at the proper time he will offer an
amendment making the duty on all woods
2j per cent. dd uatOrem, and on all manu-
features OF wool or into which wool en-
tiers 4j per cent. al rdlorem. II was
stated in the debate that we imported last
year 81, 100000 pounds Of wool.
CATTLE DISEASES.
The resolutions OF 1.-THE Michigan Asso.
citation Of Cattle Breeders were laid be-
fore Congress to-day. They want prompt
action taken by the Government for the
complete eradication OF all contagious dis
eases among cattle, and with view to this
urge the speedy passage OF what is known
as the "'IIatch bill" This bill, it will be re-
numbered, passed the House last session,
but has not been acted on by the Senate.
VIRGINIA SOLDIERS ES ROUTE TO NEW YORK
Colonel Wertcnbaker, OF the Piedmont
regiment Of volunteers, arrived here last
night, and was joined at the depot to-day
by General Fitz. Lee, Colonel Anderson, OF
the First Virginia regiment, and Dr.
George Ben. Johnston, surgeon on General
Lees staff. The party proceeded on the 4
O'Clock train to New York, where they will

the 9th they will be banquctted in Brook
lyn. 4 number Of Virginians met them at
the depot and wished them pleasant tnI
and q safe return.
NIGHT SESSIONS OF THE HOUSE.
Tie House will hold n session tomorrow
night, when Mr.. Butterworth expects tC
take up the bill extending the bonded pc
Rod OF viii, key. lie hopes, too, TO pass it
1t is also understood that if the House
does not hold other night sessions thi'
week they will be, in accordance with the
recommendation OF the Democrats, held al
next week. II is generally thought tha
these night sessions will be devoted to tn,
consideration Of appropriation bills. Mr.
Hiscock, the chairman OF the House Appro
priations Committee, however, says he ha'
never yet found 1t practicable to pass ap
preparation bills at night, because as sooI
as there is a wrangle some one tests th'
presence OF a quorum and brings about al
adjournment. This Is owing to the fact tina
it is difficult ever TO get a quorum at night
Mr.. Hiscock will therefore contend mex
week for the consideration OF appropriation
bills, but Mr.. Kelley will oppose his propo
sition and urge the House to continue Tho
consideration of the tariff bill.
TIE TROUBLES AT ANNAPOLIS.
The House Naval Committee met to-day
to take preliminary steps looking to an in
yestigation OF the troubles at the Nava
Acadt my, in accordance with the resolution
adopted by the House. A letter was re-
celved from the Secretary OF the Navy, in
which he stated that he did not know Off
cially in regard TO the matter, but that hi
thought il would lie preiudiclal to disci
pine and good order for a congressiona
committee TO investigate the difficulties
now existing between the superintendent
and the naval cadets. After hearing thu
letter read the committee laid the resolu
ton for an investigation on the table.
