The week opens in Congress with better pros
poets Of finishing the necessary business of the
session before the set day of adjournment. Last
week was barren of results, as no hopeful pro-
gress was made on the river and harbor bill, and
only one appropriation bill was passed, leaving
I'VE TO be yet considered. There are symptoms
of better work. however for the future. When
brought face TO face with an extra session men,
bers make squirt of industry and manage gen
orally to squeeze through in time to save the
session from failure. But this week must be
very busy one if Congress is to finish its work

The newspapers obliged to record alto
Eether too much foolishness and deviItry on the
part of the sons of distinguished men in public
life. II IS unfortunate that some men who as

families Some of these young men seem to be
fitting themselves for the penitentiary. ifnot the

A BRAINY GATHERING.
Major Burke's Dinner 90 Newspaper
Men.

Major A. L. Burke's dinner to Washing
ton newspaper men, lat Welcleer's last night,
was one of the most social aud thoroughly
enjoyed events Washington Journalists have
ever participated in. Those present were
nearly all resident correspondents Of news
papers located in other cities. Mr.. o. o.
Stealey of the Comier-Jouradl, and Mr.
Richard Weightman, the talented and
popular head Of the New Orleans Times
Democrat bureau hero, conducted the en-
tertainment. The table was charmingly dec
GRATED, and the very elaborate and delight
ful meuu must have been prepared under
tho supervision Of that prince OF diners,
Mr.. WeightmaD.
An orchestra furnished music and the
party were happy. As coffee was
being served Mr. Stealey stated to the
guests the object Of tho entertainment. 1t
was simply to give Major Burke, who is a
distinguished journalist (editor and prin-
cipal proprietor Of the New Orleans Tines
DemOcrdt), an opportunity to meet the rep
resentative newspaper men Of Washington,
revive the acquaintance and friendship of
those he knew and become acquainted
with those who were strangers to him.
Major Burke made pleasant and very
appropriate response. Words of friendship
for the host were spoken by Majors Poore
aud Carson, Messrs. Il. A, Richardson,
Hutchins and others.
Major Burke had already kind place in
the hearts Of Washington journalists, and
this expression of affection for them has
given him the title Of true friend. The
guests present were:

an Attack w the STRIKING weRyers
ON the LOOn-eriNera.

pnlLADELrnA, Feb. o7.--Last nights
attack by striking weavers upon the work
ing loom fxcrs in I.eedom's mill was fully
as serious demonstration as that of the
night before When the mill closed one of
the iixcrs named Cameron camo ont, and
was at ohco taken under tho protection Of
largo detachment Of police. As tho police
moved along through the crowd there were
shouts Of Kill the scab '' aud suddenly
the strikers made a'rush upon tho officers.
Two Of the latter were knocked down, and
then their chief ordered n charge with
drawn clubs. Tho result was largo num-
bcr of broken heads, aud the strikers there
after kept at safe distance, but continued
to utter threats. Cameron was lodged
safely at his home. Stevens the other
loom.fxcr, had slipped away from the mill
unobserved, aud was not m0lested. Tho
women wcavcrs remained in the mill all
night, not daring to go home. Dcmonstra-
tioDs were also made at Scofelds mill, in
Monay unk, but the strikers did nothing
more serious than to SNOWFALL and curse the
workoH as they passed out Of the mill, on
their way homeward.
