THE FUNDING BILL was further considered in the House yesterday after our report closed An amendment was adopted fixing the amount of bonds at $490,000,00v, and the amount of notes at $300,000.00. The bonds are to bear three per cent toterest, redeemabie after flve years, OF payabie at ten years from date, and terest, redeemable fn one year. or payable at ten years from date. To PREVENT Foop APULTERATION.—In pur- taken at ifs last two annual sessions, a bill has been submitted to Congress for passage to pre- vent the adulteration of food and drugs. It prohibits the iransportation, knowingly. by &by person or corporation of adulterated food or drugs, or the offer for sale or purchase or barter In any adulterated articles; also author- izes the National Board of Health to make or have made examinations of specimens of food and drugs collected from different paris of the country; makes It the duty of district attorneys to prosecute visiators of the law, and fixes heavy penalties for such violations. Waits Hovs§ Catiexs.—Senators Anthony and Burnside, Representatives Butterwortn, O'Netl, Smith, Ward, Mitchell, Price, Russell, McKinley, Calkins, Cook, Ketfer, McCook aud Blake, Prof. Newcomb and Col. Garrick Mai- lery called on the Prestdent to-day. THE Tark Is that the Senate when It con- Siders the funding bill, will put up the rate of interest to 3% percent. Mr. Carlisle, of Ken- tucky, however, thinks otherwise. He says the House will insist upon the 3 per cent rate, but, the compromise with the Senate will probably bea ten-twenty bond. The Senate will yield the higher rate of interest, while the House may agree to the above indicated extension of ‘the time for which the bond ts to run, PosTaL TELEGRAPHS.—It 1s now probable the telegraph war will be transferred to Congress. It is said that on Monday next a western mem ber will tntroduce a bill to establish a system of postal Lelegraphy.

SIXTH AND THIRTEENTH STREET RAILROAD. The District Commissioners have returned the bill to incorporate the Sixth and Thirteenth Street Railway company to Hon. E. L. Martin, Of the House District committee, which bill had been submitted to the Commissioners for an expression of their views on the subject. They Ink it most probable that all the streets run- ing north or south from the Capitol to the Executive mansion will ultimately be occupied by street rail and say that serious objec- tions exist to the occupation of the street ways Of less than 35 feet in width by double tracks, and that the present company proposes singié ines upon several of the streets, to which there Seems to be no objection. Several modifications of the bill are propcsed. They say, further, tiat where the pro} railway rums on streets Dow used by the Metropolitan company the same track can be used by both compaates, according to law. The new route proposed 1s from 6th and b streets (Baltimore and Potomac depot) up B street to 13th, thence to & street, to 15th, to T, to 6th, to Boundary, to 6th, to D. to 6th street, and to the beginning, at the Bal- timore and Potomac depot. Also a branch road 04 6th street, from D to S street, and then up S to 12th street, and then back on 12th street to B street; also another branch from B and 13th street, by 13th strect, Maryland avenue, 12:h street to Water street, and thence along the river front to 7th street, where it will meet the Potomac and Anacostia road and the Alexan- dria ferry. It will be seen that it ts a belt rall- Toad, with a starting pn at the Baltimore and Potomac depot, and running by two routes to Boundary on the north and by one route to Poo a and to the river, and along the river nt OTHER STREET RAILROADS. The sub-committee cn railroads of the House committee on the District cf Columbia held a meeting to-day and heard arguments by the reprecentatives of the Belt line railroad ona bill ding to extend the route of the line go that EK can reach the bureau of engraving and Proting. It was developed incidentally at tre bearing that the Washington and Georgetoxn company contemplate running cars fro isth street to the Capitol for a three cent fare. The jobiers is probably to drive off the Herdic coac! ‘THE PUBLIC ADVERTISING BILL. ‘The House bill to regulate the awarding of Public advertising in the Districtot Columbia, was considered in conference committee yester- day. The House bill provided that government advertisements should be inserted in the three daily newspapers in the District having the “church property heid and | y | fusation guar? | ecmmittee on the subject or pleuro. paemaonis The recommendation to create an in- | shector of plumbing is stricken out; also, the | subject, reported back the bill authorizing FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS, TavksDay, January 14.

Mr. Johnston, from the committee on agri- culture, reported the different bills before the among cattle. He said that quite a number of these bills had been referred to the commitiee, Dut that their provisions Were 80 varied and the subject itself so large and dificult that it had been determined to report. them back with. out any recommendation, letting them go on trecalendar to be cailed up at any time. Mr. Johnston, from the sclect committee on Yerktown centevnial celebration, reported favorably the House joint resolution author- izing and requesting the President fo extend to the government and peopie of France an tavita- Mon to join the government and peopie of the United States in the observance of the c2uten- nial anniversary of the surrender at Yorktown, Va. He said, in reply to Mr. Anthony, the bill Gid not provide an appropriation, but ad amende ment in that regard could be made when the bill was taken up.

Yesterday was very gay, both ia the after noon and evening. A more animated scene could scarcely be imagined than that around ‘Themas Circle, where there are so many Sena- torial residences, in the afternoon between three and half-past four o'clock. The snow aud slush and water were very deep, yet ladies, as well as gentlemen, were plunging througa them, earrl- ages innumerable were going from house tu house, and a number of laborers, with pick- axes, Were Cutting the ice jrom beneath the Stow. It seems strange, in view of the fact that ‘80 maby in that neighborhood rece day, that some effort to clean the streets was not made on Wednesday. ‘The condition of our thoroughfares is really driving away from the city strangers who have corre to enjoy riding { Washington, which has now for soin? years en- Joyed the reputation of belng an eminently cl-an place. Very few of those who usually receive Visitors on Thursday failed to do so yesterday. Mrs. Blaine, owing to a severe cold, did noi, however, see company, and Mrs. Ailtson ts in Philpdelphia, where her health {s Imoroving urder the advice of her physician. On Istraec, above lith, Mrs. Jeremiah Wilson and her daughter, Mrs. and Miss Redfern and Mrs. Foi- lock, received many calls. Yesterday atterncon, Judge Loring, formerly of the Court of Claims, and lis wife celebrate tbhur golden wedding with an impromptu re- ption, at their residence, fro 4106 o'clock. AS no invitations were issued, all those who felr sufficiently well acquainted with them dropped 1B informally, and quanutles ci the most ex quisite lowers were sent. Secretary Evarts sent a very large basket of flowers with a huraoreus and characteristic note. Many les: perishable scuvenirs were also sent. The occa- tion was highly gratityiug to Judge and Mrs. Loring, as proving the bigh estimation in which their friends hold them, neither they nor their family having themselves taken any SLEPS to insure such a celebration of the svth abuiversary of thelr marriage. The sea Mr. William H. Patterson, of Baltimore, and Miss Georgie Evans, of this city, last evening attracted a large Ubrong to the Church of the Ascension, where the ceremony Was performed. The bride went to the altar lea ing on the arm of her father, Mr. Alexander H. Evans, to the inspiring notes of the wedding march from Lohengrin, admirably rendered by Prot. Walter. She was beautifully dressed in white satin and tulle, with the traditional veil and orange blossoms. Her attendent was Miss Mary Patterson, sister of the groom. His best man was Mr. Harry W. Wells, of Washington, with Mr. Robert Lawson, of Baltimore, for msman. After tha ceremony the brida! pair went north. ‘They will reside in Baltimore. In the evening th+ re were several dinner par- Ues, chief among which was that at the White Houge, @ lst of ‘the guests at which was pub- lished in yesterday's Star. The ornamenta- tion of the table was very handsome, and also the decorations of the rooms.

The sudden death of Mrs. Franklin Steele, which occurred yesterday, was agreat shock nces, Few knew bey her friends and acquainta her fliness, which began only on Saturd: last. She had been in apparently hetter health than usual, and had given more attention to business matters than she had ever before been able to do.
