iondl committee continued its investiga.
tion to-day Of the emigration question.
The committee adopted a resolution
declaring that while they were in session
in this city any two members named by
the chairman shall constitute a quorum,
to issue subpoenas, administer oaths and
take the testimony of witnesses and that
a subcommittee OF two or three mem
ben be appointed by the chair with like
powers to conduct an examination ol
witnesses during the time the commit
tee Is engaged here, or ut any other time
or place that the full committee may
decide. This will give the committee an
opportunity to carry on an investigation
in two cities at one time. They find that
they have more work ahead than they
thought.
Francis Bumonta was the first witness
to-day. He came from Italy in May last
on a tramp steamer. He paid his own
passage at a cost OF lI5 francs. He was
induced to come here like the previous
witnesses by promises Of making money
here. Fifteen hundred other Italians
came in the same steamer. He has a
wife and daughter in Italy, where they
have little property and exc out u liV.
ing. He had not worked since his ar
rival. The witness began TO think, with
previous witness, the committee was APP

them work at high wages.
This is the reason they appear 10 be
unwilling 10 work for less than six francs

paid Agent Dorells thirty francs in March
last as earnest money in the office Of the
Emigration Society at Naples. All OF
the thirty-iive paid fifty francs cash, and
he and his companions gotta letter to the
Colonization Society ut Naples. People
connected with the latter society told
them they would get plenty OF work and
money in America. lie borrowed 200
francs in Italy and obligated himself to
pay 250 francs February lst next; after
that he is charged % per cent interest.
Guisseppi MGnuiti, another Italian,

1t letter from the Speaker announcing
his enforced absence from the city for a
few days on account of important busi-
ness, andupOh motion OF Mr.. Mills, Of
Texas, Mr.. McNillin, Of Tennessee, was
elected as Speaker pro tenn, and took the
chair amid applause.
Mr.. Mills asked unanimous consent
that the seventh of August be assigned
for the consideration Of bills reported
from the Committee on labor, with the
exception Of the convict labor bill.
Mr.. spinola, of New York, objected to
this exception.
Mr.. Mills stated that the unanimous
consent could not be procured unless
exception was made.
Nj. Spinola replied that in that event
the labor bills should die just where they
were. The State of New York had al
ready taken steps towards abOlishing
convict labor, and he was opposed TO
allowing the State Of Pennsylvania 70
flood his State with convict-made goods.
The request was not granted.
On motion OF Mr.. Townsend, the fur:
ther consideration Of the deficiency bill
was postponed, and the House went into
Committee Of the Whole on the army
appropriation bill with the Senate
amendments. Allthe amendments were
non-concurred in with the exception Of
those relative to iortiGcations and ord.

ported the loss by the frst FIRE at s., ,0O0,-

both dates destroyed some 500 buildings
and that the loss amounts TO s., ,0O0, 900.
The fire Of July 4th was in another
section OF Arsenal district, It broke out
in the afternoon In four different lOca-
tons, practically at the same instant.
II seems to bO more than a coinci-
dence that the burned district should be
the section occupied by the adherents Of
General Manigat and Senator Legitime,
who started the insuTrectionary move

been expelled. They were too danger

LONDON, July 3l.-The recent over
