Contrary lo expectations there was a quorum present Monday, and the senate resumed business. The session was highly interesting. Iu the first p ace a discus¬ sion arose over the swearing in of Mr. Shoup, one of the new Idaho seuat )rs. Mr. bhoup was. however, sworn in. Then there was a continued discussion on the action of the Idaho legislature iu electing three senators at one time. A few min¬ utes lat* r Senator Aldrich off red his clo¬ ture rule rcsolu ion and asked that it be printed and laid ov* r. He did not ask the senate’s action on it, but only wauted it printed, and said he would give the democr ts twenty four hours’ notice be¬ fore calling up the resolution, and that ended it. The f rce bill was next taken up, and Mr. Hoar announced that the debate wo\i!d continue, yielding tho floor to Senator Hiscock, of Ne w Y'ork. At tbe conclusion of lliscock’s speech Mr. Hoar occupied the time of the senate for the remainder of the evening, aud an¬ nounced that he would consume about an hour Tuesday. NOTES. The members of the commission on tbe location of a navy yard on the Gulf coast, will leave Washington shortly for New Orleans. Superintendent Porter issued a bulle¬ tin Saturday, showing the number of teachers and pupils in public schools in many cities of tho United States. A vigorous effort will be made as soon as possible to get a di*y fixed for tbe consideration of tho swamp lands bill. The bill has very strong support od both sides of ihe house. The probability is that soon after the holiday recess, the committee on rules wi l report the Dockery resolution to in¬ vestigate the charges that certain mem- bi rs of congress were iuic.ested iu a silver m ne, end made quite a pile of money by tbe uso <f their advance knowledge, gained as members of con- press. • Seusational developments are expeeted. TRADE TOPICS. DUN * CO., REPORT IMPROVEMENT IN THE SOUTH. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Business 1ms progressed as well as could be- expected iu a week broken by a Christinas holiday and a great snow storm. The holiday trade was remarkably heavy at Now York and at nearly all other points good, which is by no means evidence that ihe tightness of *he iponey market Sj rings from any general embarrassment of business or in¬ dustry Foreign trade is very heavy, iu spite of the causes which were expected to insure a material decrease. The un¬ certainty in regard to mou'tary legislation and its possible effects is still a great ob- s aele. but even this has a less oisturbing influence than it h d a week or so ago. Reports from the south indicate some improvement. Trade at Atlanta improves and cotton is moving more satisfactorily, and at Galves on receipts exceed last year’s. New Orleans reports a fair trade, larger receipts of cotton, the crop being there estimated at 7,7o0,0<K) bales, and good r< ce pts of sugar and molasses ith steady prices. Ilmmghout the south the fictitious prices maintained Inst summer have caused some embarrassment. l»e ng fol owed by an inevitable decline, as the magnitude of the crop becomes known. But more than 5,0*»0.000 bal« have already passed out of the hands of prod 'cers, mainly at fair prices. It is espe. ia ly encouraging that thus far there has been so little embarras-meut and so few failure* among ni|H> tant manufac¬ turing works recently established in this j-ection. It is by all classes ladieved that the monetary pressure sill cetwe after Janu¬ ary 1st, at le at for a tim*’, aud if no <ris- turbi g leg slat inn comes, trade may be * xpoeted to revive with vigor. It is a good symptom that instead of increas¬ ing toward tbe end of the year, failures have beeome less importion and less fre¬ quent. Fnilures for the weofc number 303. For ’be corresponding week of last year the figures were 262. FIGHT WITH INDIANS. TROOPS SURROUND* BIG FOOT*B BAND AND A CONFLICT BKSUK6. A special dispatch from Pine RfQge Bad Agency, says that couriers from L nd , who arrived th> re Monday morn¬ ing aunounoed th;t a bloody and desper¬ ate confli t occurred on Porcupine creek, between United Status troops h?k 1 h<»»tUe«.

Three men entered the South Chicago v at oual bank, at Chicago, about one o’clock Monday afternoon, Two of them engaged the cashier’s attention, while the third slipped through the door and, cominu* up behind the cashier, dealt him a blow 7 which knocked him senseless.
