N DOZEN| ‘rar 2 | Their Absence From the House Leaves “No Quorum.” ANOTHER EARLY ADJOURNMENT The Senate After Passing Several Minor Bills TAKES UP THE U. S, COURTS BILL. Mr. Blackburn offered a resolution directing the architect of the Capitol to select « niche in the basement of the Senate wing of the Capitol in which Mrs. Clara Morris might be allowed to display and sell papers, mups and other wares, [It will be remembered that Mrs, Morris is one of those dealers in curiosities who were re- cently forced to abandon their booths on the House side.} «MR. INGALLS PROTESTS, Mr. Ingalls moved the reference of the reso- lution tg the committee on rules, and spoke of the evident impropriety of turning the Capi- tol into « place ot merchandise. He had great respect for the venerable, deserving and psbA woman named in the resolution and ¢ would be glad to give her a pension of $12 or $15 month or even to put her on the r- tired list, but he protested against establish- ing a precedent that would put the Senate into the business of commerce and trade and huckstering.. Mr. Blackburn said that for a quarter of a century this woman had been as much of a fix- ture in the Capitol as one of the statues im the rotunda, She was a harmless and helpless woman; and he thought that the Senate might bear her case as an exceptional one. Mr. Cockrell moved to refer the resolution to the committee on rules. He did not see any reason why this special privilege shouid be given to one deserving woman and refused to all other deserving women. THE RESOLUTION REFERRED, The resolution was referred to the commit- tee on rules, BILLS PASSED, Bills on the calendar (unobjected) to were taken up for an hour and tho following, among others were passed: Senate bill to change the boundary of the Uncompahgre reservation, (This is a modification ‘of a bill having the same title which was vetoed by the President.}] Senate bill relative to the Rancho Punta de la Laguna, Senate bill to create a sub-port of entry and delivery ut Neche, N.D, Senate bills referring to the Court of Claims the claims of Charles P. Chouteau and of Lar- rabee & Allen, in connection with the building of monitors, THE YOSEMITE VALLEY GRANT. Mr. Plumb offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Secretary of tho Into- rior to report whether the lands granted tothe state of California on certain conditions, by the act of Juno 30, 1864 (the Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Big ‘lree grant), have been spoliated or otherwise diverted from the public§use contemplated by the grant, TESTS OF IMPORTED SUGARS. Mr. Hale offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for reports made by customs officials, special agents of the Treasury Department and others relative to the difference in test and classification of imported sugar in the ports of pope New York and Philadelphia since June, PROMIBITION IN THE CONSTITUTION, The joint resolution, proposing an amend- ment to the Constitution of the United States in relation to the manufacture, importation, exportation, transportation and sale of alco- holic liquors having been reached on the cal- endar, Mr. Blair, who had reported it from the committee on education and iabor, called for a vote upon it. Uockrell asked that the report be read. Yhile the report was being read Mr. Stewart suggested that the reading would occupy too time; but Mr. Blair thought that the fe might well devote a short time to a subject that was not to be trifled with. ‘The reading of the report having occupied what was leftof the hour assigned to the cal- eudar no vote was taken on the joint resolu- tion, WOMEN AND CHILDREN EMPLOYEES. Mr. Plumb offered a resolution (which went over without action) directing the committee on education and labor to investigate the charges made in the memorial of the Woman's National Industrial League of America pre- sented on the 3d instant for the protection of women and children employes in mills and factories, THE UNITED STATES COURTS BILL. The Senate then resumed consideration of the bill to define and regulate the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States, the pending question being on Mr. Daniel's amendment. offered last Saturday, extendinz the jurisdic- tion of the Supreme Courts to all cases of con- | viction of felony, and to all cases where the matter in dispute is the right to personal lib- erty or the right to the custody of a child, ‘MR. VEST'S SUBSTITUTE FoR THE DILL. After an argument by Mr. Evarts against the amendment Mr. Vest offered a substitute for the Dill, It proposes that there shall be threo divisions of the Supreme Court,to be composed of three justices; that the chiet justice shall make assignments to these divisions; that all tinal decisions in either of these divi sions shali be considered by the court in bane, and shall require the concurrence of five jus- tices, and that the chief justice shall apportion the business to those divisions. Mr. Vest said that his object in offering the amendment was to formulate and put on record the opinions of the minority of the judiciary ‘committee on the question rather than with a view of obtaining the legisla- tion expressed in the amendment. — ‘Tho vacant seats in the Senate chamber evidenced, he said, how little interest was felt generally in the question, although it was one ofthe most important questions to the people that could be contemplated by any lawyer or citizen. HOUSE. Mr. O'Ferrall (Va.) and Mr. Smith (Ariz.) wore the only democrats in the hall when the. House was called to order this morning. At the conclusion of the prayer the clerk (under direction of the Speaker) proceeded to call the roll on the approval of Friday's journal. The vote resulted—yeas, 153; nays, 0; no quorum, and a call of the House was ordered. TWELVE REPUBLICAN ABSENTEES. One hundred and fitty-nine members re- sponded to their names—still no quorum. The republican absentees were Messrs. Brosius, Hansbrough, McCormick, T.

I have seen some reports that the strike is likely to be confined to only a few quarters, as some of the Chicago operators claim to have contracts with their workmen. We know of no such agrecment, and if we are compelled to order a strike it will be general, and not Jocal or sectional.” —___ HARLEY RUSSELL’S MURDER, Mrs. Holden Reveals the Secret of the Awful Tragedy.
