HowGats’s ARcTIC CRUISE.—Secretarles Thompson and Ramsey went to Alexandria yesterday afternoon to inspect Capt. Howgate’s arctic exploration vessel. They found that she is not yet finished, but that work is going ahead on her as rapidly as possible. The vessel being incomplete, it was not possible to make a deci- sion as to her safety. As far as could be judged, she seemed to be a safe and good boat. Secre- tary Thompson will not accept her, as directed by the bill ust passed, until she ts tinished and 4s found to be pertectly safe. If accepted, she 1s to be officered by a detail from the navy. THE FREE BRI en. Hunton is vexed at the delay of the Senate District committee to pass upon the. bill to construct a free bridze over the Potomac at or near Georgetown. The bill has already passed the House, but sleeps on the Senate side. Nomrnations To-Day.—The President this at_ ternoon sent to the Senate the foliowing nomi- nations: To be supervisors of census—John W. Publes, of Marion, for sth district of Illinot Frederick Bodine, of Montgomery, for 4th New Y 0. ius, of East Orange, for ist ot New Brunswick, New Jersey; » Stratton, of Mount ‘¥, for 3d New Jersey; Geo.

Kr ND THE ANONYMOUS SPRIN LETTER.—A telegram from Representative C lisle, chairman of the Donnelly tnvest committee, was sent y Minneapolis, saying: “An expert has tes that in opinion the anonymous letter is in the same handwriting as your letters in po3- Session of the committee. If you destre to a: pear in person or by counsel youcan do so.” Col. King replied as follows: “I will never hu- millate myself nor dignify the charges made against me by Iguatius Donnelly by voluntarily appearing before any tribunal to deny them, even thongh a thousand hired experts indorse them, but I will respect and cheerfully respond to the off. lal suminons of your committee.” THE Commi7TEE Or Ways AND MEANS resumed consideration of sepresentative Tucker's tariff bill to-day and agreed to that portion of the bill which places upon the free lst the following articles: Salt in bags, barrels, packages or bul, woolen rags, shoddy, mungo, waste and flo. books, periodicals, pamphlets and all printed matter, ena ravings (bound or unbound), tllus- trated books and papers, maps, charts, music and music books, shumac, cod liver ofl (crude or retined) and ide petroieum. At this point Representative Wood moved to insert in the bill to be placed upon the tree list (wood pulp and all other pulp used tn the manutacture of paper.) Pending discussion upon this proposi- Uob the committee adjourned till to-morrow, when a vote will be taken upon it and the com mittee will proceed with the consideration of the bil. eral votes were taken upon many Of the articles before an agreement was finally reached to place them upon the free list.

This was the amount which was in the bill which the President vetoed yesterday. The plan now is with the remaining items In the ve- toed deficiency bill to include thé items in the general deficiency bill, and let the vetoes 2 Where it now 1s, on the er’s table. J while a separate bill will reported for deputy marshals, which, tf the Prestdent as an independent measure, may result in th marshals going without Uleir pay for anotue }ear. The democrats generally are good natured about the veto, and do not care 10 lock horns with the President. The probability is that in the end the deputy marshals will be provided for, anda bill be formulated which will meet With the approval of the President. Spraker Randalldoes not think that the veto wil! pro- jong the session, and is still hopeful that Con- gress will adjourn by the Ist proximo. WHAT IS THOUGHT IN THE SENATE WING AnoUT THE VeTO.—The small amount of attention that the President's veto is receiving among demo- cratic Senators 1s a matter for surprise. In the conversations among them to-day in the corri- dors and cloak-rooms the veto was but seldom mentioned, and when the subject was broached it was passed by with but few comments. It ts evident that the democrats feel convinced that they have a position on the election laws that will be tenable before the country. They all say that from a party point of view they are glad the bill was repealed; that President Hayes had said the election laws ought to be amended, and the democrats accepted an amendment that was proposed by Mr. Garfield. No step has yet been taken among democratic Congressmen looking to the adoption of a definite line of policy in the premises. There has been no call for caucus or conference, and none is being talked of. A good many demo- crats deciare In favor of permitting the mar- shals deficiency to go by the board, and let President Hayes call an extra session for it if he chooses. From what a Stak reporter could gather by talking with democratic Senators they are generally in favor of avoiding a long discussion of the subject. They say oneor two speeches from leading democrats, to put the Tne right before the country, fs all that will » necessary. It is likely that the joint ad- visory committee of the two houses will be called together in 9 day or two, and they may conclude to calla joint caucus, but there ts a disposition apparent to flx upon a line of policy by general agreement and without a caucus, if that can be done. ‘THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL.—The Sen. ate this afternoon took up the District appro- priation bill, and Senator Thurman spoke urgently n behalf of the appropriations for District charities. These items in the bill are $15,000 for the Columbia Lying-in asylum, and for the erection‘of two isolated cottages on the (ed for the treatment of puerpera} and Infectious diseases, $3000; for the Children’s hospital, $5,000; for St. Ann’s infant asylum, $5,000; for the industrial home school, $10,000; fer the National Association for’ colored Women and children, $6,500; for the Women’s Christian Association, $5,000; for the Little Sisters of the Poor, to detray expenses of new building, se for erection of new build- ing for the German Orphan Asylum, $10,000, ee reir oF ao TOOT et0 2On tse, and oe Senators bags Withers ioetl Niet urged 1e these nr) ns. Senator Mckitian gave notice that at the proper time he would move to strike out all items for charity, but the indications are it will fail, and that the commit- ‘bill will pase by @ large majority. Society Notes. ‘Tyo important branches of the governmen, service were interested in Miss Alvord’s wedding ‘last night, as the army and navy will be in that of to-day. Last evening witnessed an alliance between the army and coast survey, the bride’s father being the Paymaster General of thearmy, and the groom Dr. Thomas Craig, being a mem- | ber of the U.S.Coast Survey. He was until within a few months professor of mathematics in Johns Hiopkins’ University, Baltimore, and still con- Unues a course of lectures there. He ts highly esteemed by scientists in this country and Europe. although still under thirty years old. Ascension Church was filled before half-past seven, the hour fixed for the ceremony, many having arrived before the doors were open. The following gentlemen officiated as ushers and re- ceived and seated the guests: Dr. Clark, of Johns sty io University, and Dr. Packard and Messrs. Maury and Dwight, of this city. The decorations while not elaborate were very taste- ful. Florists have found it im ible to sels ail the flowers ordered from them for weddi ne this week. In front of the chancel was an are! of green sthdded with white blossoms; from its center depended a horseshoe of similar flowers Another horseshoe was over the altar, and stil! another was on the reading desk. The font was fied with lovely calla Illes, and there were also stands of flowers in suitable positions. When the bridal party arrived at the clgurch door the groom entered trom the vestry with his “best man,” Mr. Styagham, of Johns Hop- kins University. The wedding march was payed as the procession came up the cbureh. ‘he ushers, in couples, walked first and then the bridesmaids two and two, who were Miss Mary Hammond, (daughter of the Repre- sentative from Plattsburgh, N.Y.,) Miss Vir- ginia Dougal and Miss Annie Snyder, of George- town, and Miss Kate Johnson, (Admiral Sel- Iridge’s grand-daughter.) The bride came last With her soldierly-looking father, Gen. Alvord, who wore full dress uniform, as did all other oflicers present in compliment to him. The groom met his bride at the chancel steps and led her beneath the floral arch, where their at- tendants were grouped. Gen. Alvord stood a litte behind his ‘daughter, and at the proper place in the ceremony responded by giving her to her chosen husband. Her choice has the most cordial approval of her parents. ‘The bride, who has a sweet, modest expres- sion and pecullarly fresh clear complex i looked charming in her chaste and elegant ding dress of the richest cream whitesatin. Tie front breadth shirred perpendtc had broad pu Rare point de Venise lace ran up th ides and across the front. T Jorg full train was untrimmed, row box-pleated ruflie at the edge. square waist was bordered with pointe de Venise lace. The long tull tulle yell was fastened to the head with a hal wreath forming a coronet of orange blossoms and white lilacs. A bunch of white lilacs was clasped on the corsage by a gold. b: studded with diamonds, the gitt of Alvol brother in Callfornia. The handkerehiet was exquisite, its deep border being composed of Duchesse point, point de Venise and point «ppli- que lace, the gift of Mrs, MacArthur. ‘The bou- quet was of fine white fragrant blossoms, mingled with green. Three ministers of the Episcopal church, wearing their white gowns, took part in the sery: They were Dr. Elliott, the rector of the church, and his assistant and the yenerable Dr. McCarty, a_retired army chaplain, over eighty years old and very dis- Unguished. He was chaplain of the regiment in which Gen. Alvord was a lieutenant when serving in the Mexican war. The bridesmaids wore white Paris muslin, trimmed with Valeneiennes lace and Ww tin ribbon bows. Each carried a small basket con- taining a different color and variety of tlowers. When the ceremony concluded, Dr. Craig and his bride led the way out of church, followed by their attendants, each usher accompanying a bridesmaid, and Gen. Alvord escorting his wite, Who was elegantly dressed In a combination of earl-colored silk and satin. draped with fine lack lace. Jn the fashionable company who witne: the ceremohy were included many George- town as Washington families, Gen. Alvord and his family having for several years lived in the aormer cil Among those observed very few ef whom were invited to the reception at Gen. Alvord’s residence, were: Secretary and Miss Bettie Evarts,Gen. Sherman and Mrs. Fitch, Miss Julia Strong, Mrs. Harlan, Mrs. Fleld, Judge and Mrs. Ferriss, Judge and Mrs. MacArthur, Representative and Mrs. Kimmel, Representa- tive Klotz, of Pa., Mrs, Breckenridge and Mrs. Dudley, Mrs. Blafr Lord, First Comptroller e's daughter, Mrs. E. G. Scott, of Irving- ton, on the Hudson, and her little girl, Judge hnson and his sister and daughter, Miss E. His Smith, Gen. Thomas, Mrs. and Misses ¥, of Georgetown, Mr. and Mrs. Carlile Pat- terson and daughters, Mr. Yoshida, of the Jap- anese legation, Senator Saunders and family. 11 the unanimous opinion that the wedding an exeeptionally pretty one, and appropri- ate to the youth of the bride and groom. lvord, being of a retiring disposition, preferred to have a sma a reception, General Al have accommodated with comfort a greater number of guests than were present, about one hundred in all. ‘The horseshoe of flowers and the stands were removed from the church to the house, and fragrant blossoins were placed in the mantel vases and on the tables. A great variety of beautiul china vases, glass bowls and fine placques were included in the many e t presents the bride received. ‘The groom went north on the train which leay before 10 p.m. On their return they will re with her pi whi she {s M and h Yoshtd By .

Only an admission is charged, there being. no sales or rafiles of any part of the collection. The proceeds are for St. John’s church. INDIAN APPROPRIATION BIL1.—The committee of conference on the Iudian appropri: reached an agreement this afternoo principal matter in controversy was the Senat amendment providing for the continuance of the board of Indian commissioners, for whose expenses the House maae no provision. The Senate conferees consented to re- commend that the Senate receded from its ment and that a clause amen: be inserted In the bill explicitly providing that “no part of the appropriations made by this act shall be used for the payment of salaries or expenses of the Indian commissioners provided for by section 2,209 of the Revised Statutes.” The other points of difference between the two houses are adjusted by compromising the amounts in dispute, which aggregate aboat $150,000 for various specific purposes not of gen- eral interest. PERSONAL.—Senor Zamacona, the Mexican Minister, was registered in New York yesterday. —At the brilliant ball given in Dublin to the officers of the Constellation last night, Mr. E. P.

On motion of Mr. Voorhees, the bill for a joint committee to arrange for better accommo- dations for the Congresstonal library,was taken up, to allow him to speak in {ts support. He described the lamentable condition of the library, saying it was a reproach and digsrace to the nation. For want of room 95,000 books, cne-fourth of the whole number in the library, Were unable to find places on the shelves; were plied up on the floor or shoved away behind other books. The floors were piled up with books and documents. Great. numbers of bound volumes of periodicals were in the library, but useless, becatise there was no room to display them. There was great danger of fire in the lofts, where gas had to be used. Great inconve- nience was Suffered by all who desired to get books promptly, as it was impossible to keep them in good order in the crowded state of the rocms. Mr. Voorhees recited the history of the library fom its humble ’eginning, and remarked that it Showed the necessity of legislation for the centuries, not for a d: Were it not forthe exertions of an exceptionaily able librarian, Mr. Ainsworth R. Spofford, the library would be al- most useless. It was now the tenth in size in the world. Arguing from its previous growth, it would, in sixteen years trom now, be the largest in the pene extents possibly, the British Muscum and the National Library ot Parts. The bill reported by the committee provided for a joint select committee of three members and three Senators, who shall have power to employ, as soon as may be, at the expense of the United States, three persons of suitable sklll and attainments, who. ora majority of whom. shall, with the ‘approval of said committe carefully examine and consider what practte: ble and beneficial changes can be made tn and of the Capitol building in the District of Colum- bia, for the accommodation of the houses oi Congress and of the Congressional library, having in view especially the need of better ventilation, light, and exposure to the open alr of the legislative halls, and the con- venlence of communication between them, and between them and the brary, and the need of greater space and betigr arrangement thereof for the library. ‘They shall, it they find any mode or modes of accomplishing the ends aforesaid practicabie and beneficial, cause proper plans, designs and estimates of cost to be made thereot, and sub- mit the same to said committee, which shall re- port the same to Congress at. the earllest prac- Ucable time.

Morrill: “That a joint select committee, consisting of three Senators and three Members of the House of Representatives, together with three per- sops to be appointed by the President of the United States. shall be, and hereby is, author- ized and directed to caretuily examine the ques- Uon OF a site for the library of Congress, and report to Congress, as soon a8 practicable, what location would be most appropriate for the library and afford the highest advantages for AS luture growth aud permanent accommoda- ion.” Upon the suggestion of Mr. Conkling, an ar- rangement was made whereby the Kellogg- Spofford resolutions were tuforimally laid aside to allow further debate on the library bill.
