There does not seem to be any opposition in either house of Congress to an appropriation for tis purpose, but the difficulty has been an absence of any detailed information as to the amount necessary. More than a month Ago a resolution of Senator Mahone's, looking to the employment of an ice boat, was referred to the commerce comunittee, and there it has remained unnoticed. “But the ‘District appropriation bill 1s now pending in the Senate appropriauions commit~ tee, and if an estimate and other information 15 furnished it is probable that an appropriation for an ice boat will be inserted in the bill, CRUELTY TO ANIMAIS.

AS to the bill, it was a question as to whether the committee Nad the right to hold 1t instead of reporting tt back. Mr. Belmont and the Fishery Question. THE RETALIATION RESOLUTIONS TO BE PUSHED IN THE HOUSE. A Stax reporter asked Mr. Belmont, the chatr- man of the House forelgn affairs committee, to- day what he thought of Secretary Manning’sletter with regard to the fishery question, “Ob, it 1s very satisfactory indeed,” he replied. “That is the most effectual way to deal with the question.” “Will the resolution be adopted?” asked THE ‘SraR man. “Yes; Tthink so. We intend legislation. We do not propose this change from the Senate reso- lution for the purpose of heading off legislation, as has been intimated in some publications. Wé prefer it because it is more clear and positive, and we expect to cometo an agreement with the Senate.” ‘The form of resolution proposed in the Secre- tary’s letter is the same as that introduced by Mr. Belmont. A meeting of the commitice will be held as soon as the members ean be got together. It is expected that the resolutions contained in the Secretary's letter (mentioned elsewhere) will be adopted without change. Mr. Belmont has the privilege now of calling the matter up for action in the House at any time, and the disposition 1s to press it to. conclusion a soon a8 posstble. » It 15 thought that if the Senate is in earnest it will agree to have the non-intercourse proclamation apply to all manner of communteation. ‘The rail- road and transportation interests which will be effected by the resolution will be exerted, however, to prevent action. Capitoi Topics, TWO NOMINATIONS SENT IN AND ONE WITHDRAWN. ‘The President sent the following nominations to the Senate to-day: E. C.

Lieut. Zalinski described the experiments he had been making with his dynamite gun and outlined a plan of de- fense based uson the use Of that instrument of warfare, while General Benet, Col. Dana and Capt. Smith suggested methods by which the war material now on hand may be utilized. DISCUSSING THE CONSULAR SERVICE. ‘The House Saturday afternoon debated the con- sular appropriation bill without reaching any ac- ton. Mr. McCleary opposed the proposed increase of salaries of consular officers, and said the bill ap- : propriate $300,000 more than that of last year. le was especially hostile to the proposed legation building in Japan and the provision four two con- ‘sular Ins tors “to ride with aristocrats, dine with nobility and dance with Persian princes, and to get for their trips $4,000 each and expenses.” Mr. Cox, of North Carolina, defended the-Dill. sen fron M'PHERSON’S EXPLANATION. In his personal explanation in the Senate Satur- day, in reference to the reportof the judiciary committee on the Pacific railroad matter, he said he stood by and emphasized the statement he was reported to have made, “that it was very clear to his mind that, as soon as Congress comprehended the true nature of the ex would be taken to bring the Pacific railroads to book;” but added that he was not responsible for the further statement “that it is believed that the investigation will lead to such disclosures that Senator Stanford would be willing to resign his ‘Seat in the Senate; that he would have to explata his share in the ‘illegal expenditure of two uul- lion,” &c. His own pleasant relations with Sena- tor Stanford forbade his making such a statement in relation to him, Besides, he had no knowledge whatever of the matter referred to. THE NEW DYNAMITE CRUISER, Lieut. Zalinsky, the inventor of the dynamite gun and submarine torpedo boat, called at the room of the House committee on naval affairs Sat- ‘urday and explained to some of the members of the committee the details of the dynamite crutser. ‘The boat will be 230 fect in length, 26 fect in breadth ats feet draught. Itis already build- ing in Philadelphia and it is expected will be com- pleted in five months.
