Senate and House in Brief.

Washington, Feb. 26.—The senate pased both the agricultural and the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bills. The building programme of the navy as contained in the pending naval bill occupied the attention of the house throughout, the day and the fight is by no means over. Burton’s amendment to strike out the one battleship was defeated. The cruisers then were retained in the bill. An amendment requiring one collier to be built in a government yard was adopted.
