THE NATION'S SOLONS. SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Our National Law-Makers and What They Are Doing for the Good of the CountryVarious Measures Proposed. Discussed., and Acted Upon. Doings of Congress. Wednesday in the House the internal revenue bill was placed a- a rider upon the tariff bill by a vote of 175 to 5C- The entire day was spent in tjie consideration of amendments which were offered io the various internal revenue features. Tie principal tight came upon the prop ?Wl to increase the tax upon whisky from 93 cents to ?1 and to extend the bonded period from three to eight years. These provisions, especially the one looking to an increase of the bonded period, w ere bitterly opposed by prominent members on both sides of the House, and. despite the opposition, the latter proposition—that is, the increase of the bonded period to eight years—was stricken out, while the increase of Iha tax from 90 cents to Si was allowed to stand. Discussion of the bond resolution was continued in the Senate. Messrs. Allen and Hoar argued arain-t the bond 1-sue. The debate on the Hawaiian matter began in the House Friday under a specialorder. '1 he adoption ot the order was ptT

ceded by a lively passage at arms between. Mr. Boutelle and Mr. Catchings of Mississippi, a member of the Committee on Rules, which resulted in two attempts made by the former t> Lave the words of the latter excepted to by the House in order to subject him to censure. Only two s;eeches were made. Ihe resolution which formed the basis of the discussion is that of McCreary c<Jhdemning the acts of Minister Stevens and approving the policy of the President, at the same time expressing the sense of the House that the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands is inexpedient For this the Republicans offered the minority report approving Minister Stevens* action and condemning the acts of the present Administration The day in the Senate was not an eventful one. After an hour's debate early in the session the resolution of Senator Peffer was adopted calling up ;n the Secretary of the Treasury for the names of persons and corporations bidding for United states bonds and the. amount of bids and the rate of interest The original resolution of Senator

. Stewart denying the authority of the S?c- . retary of the Treasury to issue bonds at this time was taken up and consumed the remainder of the day. The Senate adjourned without action on the resolution. The Hawaiian debate was continued Saturday in the House, but nothing particular occurred. On account of pressure for time it was agreed to extend the debate until 3:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, with the understanding that th? Boutelle resolution should be included iu the special order, a vote to be taken at the conclusion of the debate upon both resolutions. The Boutelle resolution recites lu its preamble that the President has invaded the rights and privileges of the House, and rej rebates his action as unwartruuted and un-American. Some routine business preceded the Hawaiian debate, though Mr. Bland presented the report on the bill to coin the silver bullion seigniorage in the treasury, and gave notice that he would call it np at the first opportunity. A bill to repeal section 11 of the Revised Statutes, relating to the accounts of the United States Treasurer, reported by the joint commission to investigate expenditures in the executive departments, was passed without objection. The federal elections repeal bill occupied the whole of Monday in the Senate.
