House.,

The seats Of the Republicans who were
absent last week were only partially filed
this morning, one-half apparently not
having yet returned from Chicago; but
enough are in their seats to insure work
ing quorum.
One or two unimportant bills were
passed by unanimous consent before the
regular order was demanded, and 1.-The
usual Monday call of States and Terri
tories for the introduction of bills was
gone through with. Under the call but
few bills were introduced, and none of
them of general importance or likely to
be acted upon this session.
Mr.. Robinson (of New York; intro
duced joint resolution with a long pre-
amble rejecting upon the resolution of
Congress authorizing ensign Reynolds to
accept the decoration from the Emperor
of Austria of knight of the Royal and In
perial Order Of Francis Joseph for saving
the lives of the crew of an Austrian bark,
declaring that American lives had been
saved by Americans with equal or superior
heroism. The preamble then recited
newspaper accounts of herosm and life
saving by some twenty 'longshoreman,
fireman, policeman, newsboyS and
boot blacks. The resolution declares
that these several individuals be decor
ated with the order of the thanks of
Congress which are hereby rendered, and
that any member of Congress who re-
fuses to vote for the resolution is dis
grace to his countrymen.
Mr.. Robinson suggested that the reso-
luton be referred to the Committee on
Naval Affairs, that committee having re-
ported the Reynolds resolution.
Mr.. Durham (of Illinois) derisvely
moved that it be recommitted to the Com
mittee on Public Health. Adopted al
most unanimously.
Willis (of Kentucky moved to 60 into
committee of the whole on the river and
harbor appropriation bill, which, after
limiting debate to three hours, was
agreed to. Mr.. Willis then addressed
the House in explanation Of the bill.
