THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
EVENTS OF INTEREST IN CON-
eREss AND THE DEPARTMENTS.
Work OF Conaress.

Congress got finally settled down to
work on Monday of last week. The
anti option bill was brought up in the
Senate, and seems likely to be the
occasion of a. more determined struggle
than last session. Many petitions, both
for and against the bill, were presented.
Mr.. Hoar, from the Judiciary Commit
tee presented bill providing penalties
against persons, not ships crew, WHO
aid or encourage riot Oh American
ships, which was passed.
Mr.. Gallinger has introduced bill in
the Senate providing that the President
may suspend emigration from countries
from which there is danger of the intro
ducton of cholera into the United States.
Senator HilPs North River Bridge bill
is receiving much attention, and several
railroad corporations and other par
ties interested have committees in Wash.
ington watching the measure. The Sen.
ate confirmed number of Presidential
nominations.
The Senate Foreign Relations Conn.,
mittee is putting the final touches on the
Nicaragua Canal bill, the main feature
of which is the government guarantee Of
the bonds of the construction company.
Many memorials and bills were pre-
sented in the House, which took their
places on the calendar. Mr.. Cummings,
of N. Y, secured the passage of resO-
luton to investigate charges that the
postal authorities exclude newspapers
from the privileges of the mails without
previous notice to publishers, and of
other irregular practices. Several bills
have been introduced upon the currency
question, and that subject will come up
for early action, and will probably be
the most exciting subject of discussion
during the session. A comprehensive
bill to enable national banks to Increase
t.eir circulation and to suspend further
purchases of silver was introduced by
Representative Andrews of Mass.
The house passed the Senate bills to
dispose of the celebrated We'll and
EAbra claims. The Treasury still holds
$4,000 of the money paid by the Mexi-
eau government on account Of these
claims, and the bills passed refer the
whole matter to the Court of Claims for
settl mcnt. A bill to increase the pre-.
miums of Mexican war veterans was
rrought up and laid aside.
The House Committee on Ways and
Means was authorized by tile House to
make an investigation Of the condition
IF the Treasury.
The House Committee on appropria-
tons has reported the F0rtitications bill,
which carries an appropriation of 81, 1885,
,55. us against 50, 734.276 last year. But
little progress has yet been made with

Pastors Want Peace.

An important conference of PrPsby-
terian clergymen was held in New York
city after the late Albany Synod. with
the object of taking action to quiet the
agitation in church circles over the her
csy trials. The meeting was held at the
residence of the Rev. DR.. Van D. ke- 1t
is said the members deprecated the at
tempt to narrow the limitations of the
Presbyterian pulpit. They wanted the
church broad and wide enough to con
tain both liberal theologians and tradi-
tionalists. They considered an organ
lied effort necessary to check the advance
of the "heresy hunters" 1t was not a
meeting, but private talk. Its results
are to materialize later, when the end OF
TIE Briggs trial is reached.

HipnOlYte.S Bloody Justice.

The report of an attempt to murder

wOunding the sentinel. The prisoner

others were ready to make the attempt

7secte@ anR st.i4ed the assassin was re-
warded and promoted.

A Bit of Oriental Life.

Five beautiful odalisques, or female
slaves were recently presented by the
Khedive of Egypt to the Sultan of eTur.
key, and placed in the imperial harem.
The odalisques appear to have had a
captivating influence on the Sultan, who
paid so much attention as to excite the
jealousy of the other women. The five
beautiful slaves were found murdered in
their beds few days ago, having fallen
victims to poison. The Sultan was fu-
rious, and three eunuchs and a favorite
co coacubine are under arrest, and will
probably be executed.
