Wind and Rain,

New YORK, July 12.-Advices from
all parts of New York, New Jersey and
New England show a terrific rain and
wind storm, ragged all last night. The
storm was particularly severe all along
the coast, and many sailing vessels
went ashore. No large loss of life is re-
ported. but the damage to property is
large: The storm was very severe along
the st. Lawrence and On Lake Ontario.
At Cape Vincent the Islander and Annie
Laurie, small passenger steamers, were
driven ashore and number of barges
sank. At Sandy Hook this afternoon
the storm continued, and the sea is very
rough.

HOUSE

Sessions were ordered for mex
Wednesday and Thursday nights, foI
the consideration of the bills reported
respectively from the committee on Ia
Dor and the committee on military af-
fairs.
X Ford, of Michigan, from the commit
- on military affairs, reported back g
resolution for the appointment OF d
special committee to investigate the
alleged invasion OF the contract labor
law.
In reply to question by VandeVer,
OF California, Ford stated that the reso.
luton was broad enough in its scope to
cover the subject Of any invasion OF la "
against Chinese immigration.
Cox, of New York, called the atten-
tion of the House to the great necessity
for this resolution to correct abuses now
existing. There was an abnormal i'm
migration to this country by men per-
suaded to come here by false and fraud
ulent preteuse. Instead of there being
an ordinary immigration from Italy,
aliens were coming into this country at
the rate of so 900 a year, under inhu-
ences that should be inquired into.
There did come into New York in one
month $4,000 men, who did not know
our language and who added nothing to
our wealth and labor.
Morrow, of California, was glad the
House at last comprehended the evil
besetting the country from unrestricted
immigration.
The resolution was adopted.
The House went into committee OF
the who on the tariff bill, the agree
ment being that no vote be taken on
the pending wool schedule to-day.
- Pughsley, of Ohio, opposed the
! ghedule and said the duty on wool
Sshould be increased instead of reduced.
Morsa, of Massachusetts, favored the
Mills bill generally, and especially the
clause placing wool on the free list.
O'Donnell, of Michigan, said an at
tempt to place wool On the free list |
would injure one-6fteenth of the popu-
lation OF the country interested in wool !
growing. He appealed for restorations |
of the duties of 1867.
Mckinney, of New Hampshire, did |
not think che placing of wool on the
free list would decrease the price of
wool in this country, but would secure
cheaper clothes, because it would en-
able the American manufacturers to
compete with foreign manufacturers.
Caswe|l, of Wisconsin, protested
against free wool as having the effect of ,
destroying the the sheep raising indus
try OF his State.
,Boatman, of Ohio, said the placing of
woolon the free list struck a deadly
blow at one of the industries of his dis
trict; he favored a return to the wool
schedule of 1867.
Dockery, of Missouri, controverted
the argument that free wool would
destroy the wool growing interests. 1t
would be as fair to expect the mother
to desert Der babe as to expect the Dam
ocratic party TO turn its back on the
Iaboring man. who had always consti-
tinted its bone and sineH.
Allen, of Michigan, said Democrats
had protected all of the products of
the country sou b of the Mason and
Dixon lice and in the same
ssreath charged Republicans with sec
t.Onalism. Ii they believed they could
strike at Michigan through her great
staples, salt lumt er and wool, with i'm
punity. they ou'd learn better at the
C oming election.

kept secret of the late war. He
says that the purchase of Alaska
from Russia by the United States
Government in 1867 was for the
purpose of paying q debt which
President Lincoln and Secretary
Seward had contracted. The story
goes on TO say that at the time
when it looked as though England

and help the Confederacy in earn
est President Lincoln secured from
Russia q feet of war vessels to
help defend our ports and assist in
maintaining the blockade The
presence of Russia vessels off some

departure was due to the fact that
apprehended danger from England
