 IN THE HOUSE..
 The large unoccupied spaces on the floor of the hall of the house of representatives today demonstrated more thoroughly than any other fact could, probably, that the end of the session is near at hand. The at tendance was about the same as on Friday night pension sessions, and the presence of A quorum, it is believed, could not have been obtained. All business transacted from this time forward will have to be done by unanimous consent. A number of rep resentatives were granted leaves of absence for an indefinite period ton account of sickness ' An epidemic seems to have brokep put among mem bers since the tarln bill as disposed ofs
 Most of the day WAS spent Tn discussing the item in the general deficiency appro- priation bill added by the senate providing for the payment of judgment in favor of the Southern Pacific Railroad company for the transportation of troops, mails and merchsn sndise for the United States. The payment of the money was bitterly Op- posed by numbers of representatives and strongly urged by others, and by vote of 90 to fl the house refused to concur in the amendment. few minutes later, how ever, on the recommendation of the con- ferees, it was agreed to pass the bill with reduction of the amount of this item to S1, ,275, 900.
 An effort was made to secure immediate consideration for the bill to prohibit the immigration of anarchists into the United States, passed today by the senate, but ob- jection was made by Messrs. Tracey, War ner and others, and the measure was re- ferred to the committee on judiciary.
