CQJNG-RESS

In tho Semite, Thursday, Mr. Sherman presented an emergency curxency bill to meet the treasury deficiency and Mr. Pugh offered a measure in tho same line, supplementing it with a vigorous speech on tho iinpotency and inaction of tho Senate in tho face of a grave emergency. This was but tho brief prelude to a day spent with appropriation bills. The pension bill appropriating $141,000,000 was passed with two important amendments, ono making 1(5 the lowest rate for pension disability and another repealing the present law cutting off pensions of ngn-residents. It was stated during the debate that the six-dollar amendment would increase pension expenditures not oxcoeding (1,000,000. The bill served as a text for sharp criticism against the administration of the pension office. The army appropriation bill was considered, but not completed, owing to spirited opposition to the abandonment of army posts In tho far Northwest.

Thursday, in the House, was again devoted to the Indian appropriation bill and fair progress was made. A number of amendments wero adopted, the most important being to pay to tho Cherokee nation $1,060,000. An amendment ny Mr. Pickler to discontinue tho services ol army officers as Indian agents was ruled out of order.

In the Senate, Friday, the army appropropriation bill, carrying $23,000,0 KJ, was passed. The debate on the Nicaragua canal hill was resumed. Mr. Morgan sought to fix a time for bringing the question to a vote without success. Mr. Caffrey offered a resolution urging a new treaty with Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the cession of a canal route entirely within tho jurisdiction of the United States. Mr. lVffer presented a financial bill. It provides for repealing the laws authorizing the issue of bonds and for the immediate issue of $1(X),000,000 in treasury notes, to be redeemable in silver or gold.

In the House, Jan. 18, the consideration of the Indian appropriation bill was resumed. Mr. Pickler inaugurated a filibuster which lasted two hours. Finally tho question was allowed to go over. Mr. (irosvenor injected the A. P. A, question into the debate. At. the night session there was a row. It started after the failure of an effort, to increase the pension of the widow of (len. Ahner Doubledav, and to pension another widow, who performed services as voluntary nurse during the rebellion. Both bills were! blocked by throb*) ruction of Mr. Jones, a Virginia Democrat. Mr, Cooper, of Indiana, Messrs. Jones. Simpson. Talbert and others joined in a debate uf an acrimonious character. At one time it seemed that there would be personal encounters between members, but the h.mr of 10:30 arrived ami th«= House adjourned under the rule.-.

FATTENING HORSES.

Chicago Inter Ocean. In preparing horses for sale jfood condition makes very #reat difference. It should be honestly done, and if it is honestly done there is no reason why the owijer of a horse who desires to sell it should not put it in the shape that best meets the demands of customers, says an exchange. By honestly doing it we mean putting on flesh without medicines or high condimental feeding, and putting it on under conditions of exercise that will insure its staying quality, and that it is not mere blubber or fat, injuriousfto the wind and endurance of the animal. For this purpose manj horsemen use moderate ejuantities of flaxseed jelly some employ steamed oil meal. If moderately fed these assist in digestion and keep the bowels in good condition, putting on a glossv coat. While when moderately fed with other stable grains, oil meal aids in the formation of fat, it of itself is a trood muscle making feed. Many a hard working horse would be all the better for a handful of oil meal at night, even when there is no inten tion of putting him in sale condition. By judicious individual feeding of good grains, with oil meal, a bunch of horses, even when somewhat run down, can be put in sale condition in six or eight, weeks. There is not much use in trying to get a good price for thin horses, nor is there much business sense in letting them go for what they will bring, letting somebody else make the profit, that can be made out of them bv simplv put ting on another hundred pounds or so of flesh. We have said that the feeding should be judicious, individual feeding. Hv this we mean t-hal the owner who is tliein for study the
