In tho house, Tuesday, Air. Boat tier
endeavored to secure tho immediate
consideration of Sonntor Hill’s anti-
nmirehist bill, but Mr. Warner, of
Now York, objected so strenuously
tlml the bill went over. The consid
eration of Mr. Hoar’s anti-lottery bill
was prevented by objection froin Mr
Dnvey, of Louisiana. The house then
adjourned until Thursday.
About fifty members were present
when the house met Thursday morn
ing. A number of senato bills were
laid before the house and several
passed. Air. Cummings, chairman of
the committeo of naval affairs, pre
sented a report of tho committee’s
vestigatiou of alleged frauds in tho
manufacture of armor plate. At 1:10
tho house adjourned.
The house at Friday’s session passed
a joint resolution providing for the
adjournment of tho present session of
congress nt. 2 o'clock p. m. Tuesday,
August 28th. Another effort was made,
also unsuccessfully, to consider the
Hill bill for the exclusion and depor
tation of alien anarchists. An amend
ment had boon agreed upon by the ad
vocates of tho measure, and those
members who had previously antago-
nizedit, defining an anarchist to bo a
person who advocates tho destruction
by force of all governments or of tlio
government of the United States. This
satisfied tho objections heretofore
made, but Air. English,of New Jersoy,
entered an objection,and the Dill again
Yvont over—thin time probably finally
—for Ibis session. Two or throe un
important measures were passed aud
after a session of an hour, tho house
adjourned until Alondny.
Till! HliNATI!.
When tho senate met Wednesday
morning 21 senators were present
less than half of a quorum. Upon a
later call 32 answered. Air. Harris
moved that absentees lie sent, for, and
this was Iigroed to. At 1:20 o’clock a
quorum was secured anil tho senate
went into executive session. Tho ex
ecutive session lasted lint a few min-
ntoH, and at 1 :4(1 the senato adjourned
until Thursday. Immediately after
wards a long list of confirmations ol
presidential nominations to minor of
fices wero made public.
Even before the reading of Wednes
day’s journal the absence of a quorum
in the senate Thursday morning was
pointed out by Air. Alaiulerson and
tho roll was called, showing tlio pres
ence of thirty-three senators, ten less
than u quorum. Air. Harris moved
that tho sergeant at urniH lie directed
to request tlio proseueo of absent sena
tors, but l’useo and Cockrell pointed
out that tho order made Thursday was
still in force nud tho latter asked that,
the report of the sergeant at arms bo
read. This was done and reported
that, of forty-two senators who had
failed to answer to their names the
previous day only two were in tlio city
mid one of these, Air. Vuorhces, wns
too ill to attend. The others wero tel
egraphed to attend immediately. Up
to 12:30 o’clock thirty-five collators
had responded. At, that hour it
being apparent that a quorum
could not bo secured, upon mo
tion of Air. Harris, tho sergeant-at-
arms was directed to compel the atten
dance of the absent senators. This, it
is Haiti, will not amount to anything as
tho sergeant-at-arms lias always and
now refuses to arrest tho senators, and
bring them before the bar of the
senato, unless ho is given a warrant
for their arrest. Tlio Semite lias al
ways likewise refused to isHiie its veir-
rant. As a matter of fact, a quorum
could bo obtained if all the republi
cans would vote, as there are a number
about lljo building who have so far
declined to enter tlio chamber. At
1 :1H, the senate, pending Iho ex
ecution of an order to compel the
members to attend, adjourned un
til Friday. 'J’liis was owing
to tho fact that it was de
monstrated to bo impossible to get a
quorum. Executive clerk, Fruden,
reached tho onpitol at 1:15 with some
important nominations, blit owing to
the ubsenco of a quorum they could
not,'be laid before the seriate. They
were taken baok to the white house.
The session of tho senato Friday
lusted until 1:25 o’clock p. m., and
then adjourned until Alonday. The
general public was excluded from tho
chamber during nil but four minutes
of the session, the remainder of tlio
time being spent behind closed doors.
There wsh no tost as to whether or not
a quorum of tho senators was actually
present, aud in fact, matters were so
arranged in advance liy mutual agree
ment that tho question did not arise.
Tho matters discussed in secret wero
not exclusively of an executive char
acter. On the contrary, eight or ten
hills (three of them bridge bills) woro
taken from the calendar and passed,
and the concurrent resolution for tho
final adjournment of congress on Tues
day at 2 o’clock p. in. was laid before
the senate and was passed without a
word of opposition and without a vote
in the negative. The senate then, nt
1 :25 o’clock, adjourned until Monday

Dun Jt Co.’s Report of Business for
tlio I'list. Week.
R. G. Duu & Co.’s roviow of trade
for tlio past week say :
“Ohanges during the pan! week have
not been definite nor very important.
As the president's final decision re
garding tho new tariff is assumed, but
not yet eortninly known, part of tho
hesitation which appears may bo at
tributed to the lingering uncertainty
which must terminate. Other con
ditions if not entirely favorable, have
at least not changed for the worst dur
ing the past week. The business so
long delayed by the tariffuneertaiufies
begins to come forward, so tlmt trans
actions in many departments are lar
ger of late nnd on tho whole larger
than at the time of especial stagnation
last year, but it is still too soon to de
termine how far the satisfaction of
postponed demands will set. idle hands
at work, or raise tho transactions to
ward the normal volume, lint it m a
healthy sign that thus far is gradual,
and not spasmodic or flighty in appear
ance. Tu all the great industries Homo
increase in demand for products ims
appeared, and the hoot and shoo trade
continues to lead the others in recov
ery, iih shipments from tho east not
only exceed last year’s largely, but
surpnss those in August of previous
years. Economy appears hero in pur
chases of cheaper qualities rather than
m purchases of fewer pairs of coses,
mill Iho demand is largely for speedy
delivery, reflecting unusual reduction
• •f stocks.
The cotton manufacture, which Ims
been employing n larger proprotion of
its normal force than most othera and
aooupitilaling goods greatly in advanco
of current demands, 1ms about 23,000
workers on a strike at Fall River and
New Bedford to resist a proposed re
duction of wages, and tho mills have
been closed, with the apparent expect
ation that the difficulty will last Heme
weeks. A somowhat increased demand
lor goods lias appeared, hut, perhaps,
not yet ns great as many have antici
pated.
“fu tho iron and steel manufacture,
the demand for finished products in
creases, but is at present not its large
as the capacity of the works which
have endeavored to resume operations,
so that their competition results in
priooH nearly ns low ns lmvo been rcaoli-
( d at any timo.
A moderate gnin in transactions is
scon at Philadelphia, though finished
products there aro weaker, nud at Now
York, no improvement yet appears,
while nt Pittsburg and Cleveland thoru
is more buying, but at Chicago con
siderable less than of late. Several
more furnaces'have gouo into opera
tion, notwithstanding tho scarcity of
water supply at Couuollsville, nud con
sequently of coke, nud prices of pig
iron aro not further depressed. A
modoruto inoronso is seen in tho woolen
mills in operation, and ngouts who have
offered spring goods, gouornlly at a
reduction of nbout 12} por cent from
last yonr’s prices, have taken orders
for considerable quantities, hut there
is still a great uncertainty about Iho
extout and effect of foreign competi
tion in many important classes, partic
ularly of tho bettor grade of goods, and
as this must eontinuo for mouths, tho
adjustment to new conditions must bo
gradual,
“Tho money market continues to
reflect a legitimate increase of com
mercial demand which comes mainly
from dry goods commission houses,
but it iH noted that, although tho last
week of August is at hand, tlio require
ments from the west and south for
croji moving purposes aro by no means
of ordinary magnitude.
“The liabilities of firms failing for
the second week of August amounted
lo only 81,1113,0711, ami for the last
Ihree weeks to only 87,202,070, of
whioh 82,003,200 wero of manufaelur-
ing, and $3,787,320 of trading con
cerns.
“The failures this week have boon
234 in tho United States, against 410
Inst year, aud 29 in Canada, against 20
last year. ”
