Congressional Proceedings.

NEITHER houses were in session Wednes-
day or Thursday.
FRIDAY. - In the senate Mr.. Sher nan
made a long speech on the recent message
of he president in relation to the Monroe
doctrine aud to the condition OF the ma
tional finances. Speaking of the former he
said that congress had " perhaps too hastily
but with entire unanimity supported the
president in maintaining the interest and
honor OF the country " in the field of diplo-
Macy" but as to the latter, congress had
not approved and would not approve his
recommendations as to the financial policy.
and especially as to the currency. The
president had mistaken the course OF the
present financial condition in attributng 1t
to the demand for gold for United States
notes, instead of to the deficiency OF revenue
caused by the legislation of the last con-
gress, thus placing the effect before the
cause, and he had proposed az a remedy
the conversion of U uite1 States notes and
treasury notes into interest bearing bonds,
thus increasing the interest bearing debt
nearly $500 100000, Adjourned till Tues.
day. - Am ing the bills introduced in
the house were the 70 lowing: BY Mr..
Flynn of Oklahoma, providing for the adj
mission OF that territory to statehood; by
Mr.. Sperry OF Connecticut, appropriation OF
S87 900 600 to provide for Notifications and
sea.coast defences at New York Boston, the
lake ports, Hampton Roads, New Orleans,
Philadelphia, Charleston. S c., Mobile,
Savannah, Galveston, Portland, Oregon,
Pensacola, San Diego, Cumberland So ind
and points on the Kennebec river; by Mr..
Dingley of Maine, to prevent the extermin A.
ton of fur bearing animals in Alaska. 1t
provides for the concluding of treaty with
Great Britain, Russia and Japan for the
protection OF seals In case negotiations Of
this character cannot be concluded, the
secretary of the treasury is authorized to
take and kill all seals male or female,
found on the Pribyloff Islands, and to sell
| their skins and turn the proceeds into the
treasury Adjourned till Monday.
MONDAY The Senate was nc in session.
- The house galleries were crowded
because OF the expectancy that there might
| be furry Of some kind in connection with
| the thirty day call for 800 100000 of four
per cent bonds. No public reference, how
ever, was made to the subject and, after
some preliminary routine business, the
house adjourned till Tuesday

A TERRIBLE massacre has recently taken
place at Birldgik, near Aintab, in Asia
Minor. The official report of the occurrence
states that nine hundred persons were killed.
A RAILROAD train in the Transvaal, which
was running at high rate of speed between
Johannesburg and Dunbar, last Wednesday,
was thrown from the track. Twenty eight
passengers were killed and twenty three
injured.
IT is announced on the best of authority
that when Thomas r. Bayard ceases to be
ambassador he will take up his permanent
residence in England. He has no desire to
return to the United States He is fasci-
mated with English life, customs and man
ners, and, in addition to this, he has been
made to realize at last how extremely un,
popular to Americans his course has heen,
and how uncomfortable life in the United
States would be for him.
THE rebel forces in Cuba commanded by
General Maxine Gomez have captured sew
eral OF the towns near Havana, and the in
habitants in that city are in a state of ex-
element and terror. Under General
Gomez's direction the insurgents made a
vigorous onslaught upon the center of Gen.
eral Campos' line last Monday, and, after a
fierce fight, forced their way through the
line and are now marching triumphantly
westward toward the province OF Pinar Del
Rio. In this province are the finest tobacco
plantations in Cuba, and these seem to be
now at the mercy OF the rebels.

THE Franklin County Children's Home
at Columbus, Mich, was burned last Fri

sumed. The children, Of whom there were
147 in the home, were just rising The at
PENDANTS hurriedly marched them from the
building, and 1t is believed by Mrs. A. D..
White, the superintendent, that all were
saved. The building was built fifteen years

from defective fue. The insurance on the
building is only $30,700 and that on the

THE eastern sewing machine manufact

THE subcommittee of the house appro.
priation committee, having in charge the
prepare ion Of the pension appropriation
bill, has completed its work, and the bill
will be introduced into the house to-day.
The committee has reduced the appropria
ton for the next fiscal year So 600 600 below
the estimate of the commissioner, which
was $40, 100000. Several amendments
have been made to existing la VS., one max
ing pension a vested right. Another pro-
vides that, when an application is m ,de
new under the law of 1890 al d rejected and a
application is filed which is subsequently
allowed, the pension shall date from the
filing of the first application, providing the
disability existed at that time. The third
amendment nullifes that part of the law of
1890 which prevents a widow drawing a
pension except where she is without other
means Of support than her daily labor.
