CONGRESS IN BRIEF.
Work of the Lawmakers I'm the Senate and
in the House.

Washington. Feb. THE senate
passed the military academy and war
tax reduction bills yesterday. \ night
session was held to debate the ship
subsidy bill, but the debate was on
any and everything else but that par
ticular bill and adjournment was TAX
en- at IL p. III. without particle of
progress being made.
The house considered the postoffice
appropriation bill all day without ac-
ton, except to agree to close the de-
bate today at 1880 p. m.
Washington, Feb. S.-The senate
yesterday passed the pension appro-
priation bill without debate. 1t ap-
propriates $144, 100000. The ship sub
sidy bill occupied the remainder of the
day and night session. Adjourned at
II p. m. The feature was the repeat
ed protests of Teller and Jones
against night sessions.
The postofiice appropriation bill, de-
bate on which consumed almost an en-
tire week in the house, was passed yes
terday. GrOsvenOr and Richardson
were appointed tellers on the part of
the house to count the electoral vote.
The diplomatic and consular appropri-
alton was taken up, but no action
reached.
Washington, Feb. 9.--An Intellectual
effort was made in the senate yester-
day to secure an agreement upon a
time for final vote upon the shipping
bill, which was laid aside informally
and the naval appropriation consid-
cred without action. An executive ses-
sion was held, but no night session.
The house passed 1S4 private pen
sion bills and a general pension bill
to restore to the pension rolls widows
Of soldiers of the rebellion who subse-
quently married and became widowed
or divorced, provided they were mar
ried before the close of the rebellion
and are now dependent upon their own
labor for support.
Washington, Feb. 11.-During all
most the entire session of Saturday the
senate had under consideration the
naval appropriation bill. Practically
the bill was completed when it was
laid aside for the day. Eulogies upon
the late Representative Harmer of
Pennsylvania concluded the session.
The agricultural appropriation was re-
ported.
Consideration of the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill in the
house developed something of a sensa-
ton when Brown of Ohio, standing in
the center of the Republican side of
the chamber, made speech strongly
condemning colonial policy and urg-
ing that congress should at once give
assurance to the Fllipinos that the
purpose of the United States was to
give them independence. He was APP
plauded by both Republicans and
Democrats. The diplomatic bill was
laid aside to permit eulogies upon the
late Representatives DAILY, of New Jer-
sey, and Wise, of Virginia.
