WASHINGTON, D. g., Feb. Gin thu
Senate to-day the eighthour bill wa

He considered 1t an excellent bill, recog

not denying the right OF men to work

Mr.. Vest moved to amend by inserting
the words "Without duress or coercion

Mr.. Blair opposed the amendment, and
suggested the substitution Of the words

Mr.. Teller spoke in favor Of The princi-
pie Of the bill, and opposed Mr.. Vests

OF the Government with the thought
that they could ignore the plain provi.

Mr.. Ingalls, inquired whether any
estimate had been made OF the amount
involved in the bill.
Mr.. Cockrell said that an estimate
made by distinguished member Of the
House Of the House of r representatives
gave the amount as $50, 600.
Mr.. Reagan complained that the Sen.
ate was absolutely without information
az to the amount involved in the bill.
The Senate was asked to pass an act
without even an attempt having
been made to ascertain what the liabili-
ties OF the Government would be under
1t. AS to the talk Of duress, 1t was his
impression that Congress itself was
under duress; was habitually
coerced by classes to do things that
honest conscience forbade to be done.
Mr.. Ingalls, characterized the bill as
paltry, quibbling evasion OF the sole
question at issue.
1t was agreed that the bill should be
voted on tomorrow. Adjourned.

Special DiSpdteh 10 the Intt'li0eHeer.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. 6.-To'day
has probably been the most uneveniu
since the beginningo Of the session. There
have been scarcely any discussions and
business generally has been disposed o.
in business.like way.
The House went into Committee oi
the Whole this morning to consider
Senator Dayis's Reassessment bill, and
again this afternoon. Numerous amend
ments were offered, most Of which were
defeated, and q few minor ones, which
do not change tho effect Of the bill, were
adopted. The bill met with some op.
position, which seemed to be led by Mr..
Young, Of Upshur. The discussion,
however, was confined mainly to tech.
nical questions.
The committee arose about o'clock
and reported the bill to the House. The
amendments reported were defeated and
on motion OF Colonel White the rules
we're suspended and the bill put on its
passage. This again was opposed by
Mr.. Young and few Others, but the
bill was passed by vote OF "a to l3,
On motion of Judge Furguson, 1t takes
effect from its passage.
Mr.. Young then offered the following
resolution, which was ruled out Of order
by the the Speaker:
WHEREAS, There remains yet Of the
present session twenty days at least;
and,
WHEREAS, Senate bill No. 8 has been
read this day on its second reading and
amended and at once put upon its third
reading by vote OF four.ffths Of the

ing absent, be 1t
ReSslued, That it was not a case Of
urgency as is required by the Constitu-
ton aud that the bill should not be
passed on this day, and, further, that
no reason showing any urgency has
been shown on the record.
This discussion was the only oasis in
the desert OF dull routine sighted to-
day, and it was only slight variation
from the general monotony.
a large number Of delegates were
given leave OF absence to-day aud many
seats were vacant. Tomorrow will
probably see many more Hnoccupied, as
most OF the State sollns are married men
and like to spend Sabbath at home.
