These have been many stormy sessions of the House, but they have generally been held when a matter of po- ■ litical or personal interest has been at ; stake.

Members were at cross- | purposes over the quarantine bill. i Lis most earnest supporters be- I Heved that it did not go tar enough, and while they acquiesced in some of the amendments made by the New York members they did so under protest, and in the belief that if they did otherwise the measure would meet a lingering death through filibustering. After many parliamentary wrangles the bill was finally ; passed. On motion of Mr. Warner of j New York an amendment was adopted j extending the provisions of the bill to ' immigration and importation across 1 land boundaries as well as acro-s sea ! boundarii s.‘ The object of this amend- : ment, as explained by Mr, Warner, is to protect the Canadian and Mexican i frontiers.

The .Senate Finance Committee re- I solved to report the bill to repeal the I silver purchasing clause of the Sherman i act. Two amendments were added to I the bill: 1. To have the suspension I take effect on Jan. 1, 1804, instead of] this month. 2. To permit national ! banks to issue notes up to the par value of their bonds. The report, according to a Washington dispatch, was a surprise to almost every member in Congress. The action is supposed to have been in obedience to the pressure of the honest! money men of the country for some legislation tending to lessen the evils resulting from the continued purchase of silver bullion. The postponement of the time for the suspension will, some members believe, lessen the opposition I of silver men. But they fear that the i amendment increasing the national bank . note circulation will prevent the opposition falling off so much as its absence might do. foreign. ’ I he long-expected revolution against I’resident Hippolyte has broken out in Hayti.

I To Amirlgamatc Labor O •der>. i A call has been issued fora convention of all trades unions in Nebraska tc assemble in Omaha Feb. 19. The convention has bet n called under the authority of the American Federation of ' Labor, so that 1 nights of Labor locals have not been included in thee all. The meaning ot th s act on of organized labor at this time in this way is to so aiealgamate the different branches of the building and other trades into one compact working body tiiat its very existence will have the efiect of making contractors ami others pause before attempting any reduction of wages or the abroga’ion of any of the privileges i which the men now enjoy. It is also । hoped by the promoters that when all the workingmen of Nebraska are organized under one constitution and oper- I ating under one general set of by-laws rash a dion in the way of strikes w.ll be prevented.

For almost an hour Monday morning the lime of the Ilousa was consumed in the consideration of a resolution to which there was not the slightest opposition in any quarter, and which was finally adopted without objection. It was one calling upon the executive departments for information as to the number and amount of war claims allowed or disallowed by such departments. Then a motion to suspend the rules and pass a Dill to settle the claims of Arkansas and other swamp-land grants failed to secure the necessary two-thirds vote, and was defeated. The motion to suspend the rules and pass a joint resolution for a constitutional amendment for the election of United States Senators by popular vote, was carried without a division. Three prepared speeches were read in tho Senate. The first was by Mr. Morrill (Vt.), against the McGarrahan bill; the second by Mr. Peffer (Kan.), in favor of a constitutional amendment limiting the Presidential office to one term; and the third by Mr. Call (Fla.), in opti’’,*® All "‘*lOt tho antius the result ot^aM'T’tll’e considerable progress was made on the anti-option bill.
