Adjournment OF Congress.

dents Assistant Secretary, Pruden, appeared
at the north door of the chamber and was
instantly heard. The message he held in
his hand became the target for every eye.
When he announced the approval of the
deficiency, the sundry civil and the river
and harbCr bills, there was Il round of ap-
plause, and the gloom which had settled
upon the members by reason of rumors
that were rife that the river and harbor bill
had been vetoed, was dispelled. AT 2:25
the committee appointed to wait on the
President and inform him that Congress
was ready to adjourn, appeared at the bar
of the House and announced it had per-
formed its duty and that the President had
nothing further to communicate to Con-
gress On motion OF O'Neill, of Pennsyl-
vania, the Senate bill was passed accepting
the gift of the Grant relics. On motion of
Springer, the adjournment resolution was
taken up and the amendment of the Sen
ate fixing the hour of adjournment at
o'clock to-day was concurred in. 1t is
probable that the President and several
members of his Cabinet Will attend the
funeral of Tilden.
After recess Hiscock Of New York moved
to suspend the rules and pass bill regulat-
ing the duties on tobacco shippers. His
cock took the floor and spoke in support of
4.
The next three minutes were consumed in
attempting to secure consent to have q
majority report on the tariff bill printed in
the Record, and then the Speaker, without
any preliminary remarks, declared the
House adjourned sine die.

The Landing of Chinese Seamen.
WASHINGTON, 5th.-The acting Secretary
of the Treasury has received letter from
the Collector of Customs at San Francisco
in regard to the landing there of Chinese
who claim to be entitled to such privilege
because they are seamen belonging to the
crews of vessels arriving at that port 1t
seems that such Chinese have been allowed
to land without any guarantee for their de-
partIIre from the United States, on the
theory that such practice is authorized by
the ruling of the Department in the case of
Wing Hong. He was a seaman on YES
sci which arrived at New York, and was
permitted to land, in accordance with the
decision of the United States Circuit Court
of New York, to the effect that q Chinese
seaman temporarily arriving in the United
States on his vessel might land for the pur-
pose of obtaining employment on another
vessel leaving the United States, provided
he gave security to Teship within thirty
days. Secretary Fairchild, in letter to the
Collector at San Francisco on the subject
says that the practice at that port seems to
have been outside said decision, inaSmuch
as it appears that not only Chinese seamen,
but Chinese stow-aways have been permit
ted to land there under the guise of seamen,
without any formality or giving any securi
ty for their appearance. Mr.. Fairchild adds
that in his opinion only such seamen are
entitled to land in the United States under
said decisions as are obliged, in the ordin-
airy pursuit of their calling, to leave their
ship for the purpose of obtaining employ
ment in other vessels in which to return,
or to leave the United States but that no
such Chinese seamen should be allowed to
land until he first makes a proper applica-
ton to either the Surveyor or Collector for
that purpose, and after furnishing proper
security, either by his recogniZance or
otherwise should receive permission to do
so. He also says that steamship companies
should not be permitted to land their Chi
nese crews without first making applica-
ton, and then giving security, or obtaining
permission.
Trial Race of tho Crack Yachts.
NEW YORK, August 5th.-The Times
Yachting correspondent writes from New
London, Conn: The yacht Priscilla left
Whitestone yesternoon less than half an
hour after the Atlantic left City Island, and
her mainsail was visible for time from the
latter's deck when between Sand Point and
Captains Island, but she was 80 far behind
as not TO be made out distinctly. In less
than an hour she was dropped entirely be-
low the horizon. She put into Morris
Cove, at the entrance 10 New Haven har-
Dor, after o'clock last evening, at which
time the Atlantic was something more than
twenty miles further down the Sound. The
run of the Atlantic down the Sound was
great performance. 1t forms the chief topic
of conversation among yacbtsmen here to-
day. BY many it is said to be the fastest
run ever made. Anyway it showed speed
enough to render the friends of the other
big sloops less confident than they have
been of yanquishing the pride of Bay
ridge.
