BOTH SESSIONS SHORT.
Not voluminous Amount of Business
Transacted by Congress.

| Washington, February 1.-The House
devoted most of the session today to the
| District of Columbia appropriation bill,
| but had not completed it at adjournment.
Some politics were injected into the de-
bate just at the close, the feature of which
was bitter denunciation of W. A. Stone
of Pennsylvania by Mr.. Mahany, Repub-
lican Of New York, for the former $
position in favor of the immigration bill
Mr.. Stone did MOI reply. Before the Dis
trict bill was taken up several bills and
resolutions of minor Importance were
passed..
During today's debate Mr.. Simpson,
Populist of Kansas, attempted to show
from clippings from Maine papers that
there had been no return of prosperity
in the lumber industry in that state.
Mr.. Dingley, in reply, declared that the
Maine papers were full of evidences of
the improvement in the lumber industry.
1t was, he said, another proof that the
gentlemen on the other side could see
a speck ON the barn door, but could not
ses the door.
No business of Importance was tran
sacted by the Senate in open session to-
day. The feature of the short session was
statement made by Mr.. Clark, Republi-
can of Wyoming. as matter of personal
privilege, concerning his vote in favor of
the Teller resolution. He maintained that
his vote was in no way inconsistent with
his Republicanism and declared that he
would not permit anybody to read him
out of the party as he was satisfied the
masses of the party would not convict
him of political heresy.

uDoN'T FEAR ENaLAND's THREAT.
some Pretty Plain Talk Upon the Eastern
Situation.

New York, February IA despatch to
the Herald from London says:
There is startling despatch in the
Daily Telegraph from st. Petersburg.
The papers correspondent there had
interviews with Russian admiral, now
chief of squadron, and with an eminent
Russian diplomatist Their declarations,
therefore, if true, have semi-official
weight.
Practically the declaration amounts to
menace on the part of Russia toward
England, Unless England chooses to
acquiesce in the policy adopted by Rus
STA in the far east, war is inevitable.
If this despatch is not a fake Russia
has thrown the gage The despatch is:
EST. Petersburg: I have had a converse
ton with a Russian admiral, who has
been appointed to the post of chief of a
squadron, concerning the situation in
the far east This officer in the course
of his remarks said:
NEARLY the whole of the marine forces
of Russia will be despatched to the Tar
east where it is necessary for Russia to
place herself in a position OF naval
strength in Chinese waters equal to that
OF NJredb huocio w IL iOo PSA - y
the opening of new port either at Port
Arthur or at Ta-Lien- Wan. We will soon
see that Germany will say the same thing
with regard to Kiao Chou and the bay of
Samsah, while France will prevent the
opening of the Siam gulf and Nankin as
free ports. Russia, France and Germany
will permit no European power to carry
out any such attempt against their inter-
ests upon the pretext of encouraging
China-E European trade for under that
condition the power in question would
become the real mistress of China, di-
recting her politics and her finances"
| also called upon celebrated Russian
diplomatist, who said:
!sThe condition of the loan of 912, O0O,-
900 which Great Britain has offered to
the Chinese government are directed
principally against the interests OF Rus
STA and France, and for this reason our
ambassador at Pekin, together with his
French colleague, will struggle to pre-
vent China from accepting the British
overtures. By the opening of La-Iien-
Wan as free port. the value OF Port Al
thur az a naval station would be dimin-
ished.
SIN the spring Great Britain will no
LONGER occupy herself with the Chinese
question and will certainly not take the
offensive, finding, as she will the neces-
sitv OF devoting her strength and her
energy to India, where revolt infinitely
more serious than the Sepoy mutiny is
about to break out. There Russia will
he able without difficulty to penetrate
through Afghanistan and the Pamires to
the Indian possessions of Great Britain
| to whom she will dictate terms. We
have enough troops and well fortified
frontiers with out posts well connected
in the rear with our reserves by railways
and telegraphs, and we could in the
course of few days place upon the Al
chan frontier an army of 100000. You
perceive that all the chances are on our
side and we do not fear the threats OF

CREW OF EIGHT LOST.
Schooner Charles A. Briggs Struck
Rock at Nahant.
BODY OF ONE UNKNOWN MAN
WASHED ASHORE.

Schooner was Bound for Portland With
Coal-Lost Craft Halls From Fall River
and was Built in Bath.
Boston, February Ia three masted
schooner, believed to be the Charles s..
Briggs of Bath, Me-, laden with coal was
wrecked off Little Nahant, some time las
night. 1t is believed there were eight
men on board and all are thought to have
been drowned. The vessels is a total
wreck.
The body of one of the crew, a man
about 55 years old, was found among the
wreokage that was washed ashore. The
body was frozen to plank and was bad
ly disfgured.
The vessel is believed to have been
wrecked about eight O'Clock last night.
The fierce northeasterly gale which was
blowing at that time, accompanied by a
heavy fall of snow, made passage upon
the sea exceedingly hazardous.
The vessel struck upon the ledge and
was smashed into pieces. Parts of the i'll
fated schooner were one mass of splinters,
and today lined the shore for consider
able distance.
The spot where the schooner struck is
removed northerly from Egg Rock light
From the moment that she struck there
was no possible chance for the members
| of the crew to save themselves. The
| vessel, it is thought must have beer
| completely shattered by the force of the
collision and the rough sea added to tht
work of destruction and rendered thu
saving of life impossible.
