CONGRESSIONAL. MIWATK In the senate on May 12,Ma. Mitchell sub mitted a concurrent resolution expressing it to be the sense of congress that negotia tions should be entered into between the United States and the Chinese government with a view of securing such modifications to the present treaty with China as may re sult in stopping the coming of Chinese to this country, except in cages of diplomats and their seJvants; except also in the cose of persons at sea driven to seen a place of safe ty. Referred to the committee on foreign relations. Consideration of the interstate commerce bill was then resumed. A pro tracted debate arose on the various amend ments, especially the amendment to the long and short haul clause. In the coure of the debate Mr. Ingalls said the bill was be coming more and more metaphysical as it proceeded. The tronble was that the sena tors were not practiced railroad men, bu were dealing with practiced railroad ques tions. He thought tbe matter immediately unckr consideration as to the details of the long and short haul should be left to be dealt with by the proposed commission. After f -srther discussion the r bill then came to a vote and was passed yeas 47. nays 4. Messrs. L'rrwn, Colquitt, Morgan and Ran som voted in the negative, and a number of pairs were onnounced. Adjourned. The pen sion bill comes up to-morrow. In the senate on May 13 a bill was passed creating a new judicial circuit of the United States. Under the bill the Eighth circuit is made to include Nebraska, Kan sas, Arkansas and Colorado; the Ninth to include Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri; the Tenth to includn California, Oregon and Nevada. The bill also nrovidee that the present judge of the NintWeircnit heretofore constituted (being California, Oregoa and Nevada), shall be iadae e the TeBtheircait and the president shau appoiat a , jodge. for the new Ninth district. At 2 o'clock the general pension bill was placed before the senate. Mr. Blair explained that it was in tended to provide for those disabled Union soldiers of the late war who had found it impossible, without their own fault (whether by loss of papers or death of witnesses; to prove their cases under the exitsting law. He said it provided aid for all soldiers, who, having served six months or more, had be come disabled since their service, from any cause not due to their own vicious conduct, and who were now dependent upon their manual labor, or on the contributions of others not legally liable for their support. The highest pension under the bill, Mr. Blair added, would be $24 a month for total neipiessness, ana proportionately less ior less disability. After some discussion the senate adjourned without action. In the senate on May 17 after the routine business in the senate to-day, Mr. Frye called up the house shipping bill,entit1ed "A bill to abolish certain fees for official ser vices to American vessels, and to amend the laws relating to shipping commissioners seamen, and owners of vessels." The bill having Deen read, Mr. Frye moved to add to it as a new section the provisions of the bil recently reported by him from the commit tee en commerce, authorizing the president io issue a proclamation whenever he may deem proper, denying to vessels of foreign countries such privileges as are denied in such foreign countries to vessels of the United States. The provision of Mr. Frye's bill is not confined to Canada, but is made general, so as to apply to all foreign coun tries. Proceeding to the calendar the sen ate passed the following measures. A bill authorizing juries of the United States cir cuit and district courts to be used inter changeably. A joint resolution authorizing the treasury department to audit and pay a claim of the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Gulf railroad for carrying the mails. At 2 o'clock the pension bill was laid before the senate. A number of amendments were proposed and voted down, and without any definite action the senate ad journed. In the house on May 12 the messages from tho presinent" yesterday presented to the senate and submitted to the house, were ap propriately referred. In the morning hour Belmont, of New York, called up the joint resolution providing indemnity to certain Chinese subjects, for losses sustained within the jurisdiction of th United States. The resolution was con lidered in committee of the whole. Belmont then gave a history of the Chinese massacre at Rock Springs, Wyo., stating its causes and results, and urged the adopti nof the resolution. The resolution was offered by Felton, Morrow and McKinna, of California, and was f av oied by Hill and Worteington, of Illinois. The Jesolution wen over pending further discussion. The house then went into com mittee of the whole on the army apDropria tion bill. The bill was passed. The dip lomatic and and consular appropriation bill was .hen taken up, but without doing much without doing much with it the house ad journed. In the house, on May 13, the Chinese in dsmnity resolution was taken up, but no de cision was arrived ax. The diplomatic and consular appropriation bill wa3 reported to the -house for passage. The bill enlarging the powers and duties of the department o! agriculture was then considered in commit tee of the whole. Breckenridge, of Ken tucky, opposed the bill to make the commis sioner of agriculture a cabinet officer. To give him an assistant secretary, with nothing whatever to do, and to increase the eqpend itures of the department, would neither dig nify agriculture nor lighten the burden upon itsshouldei. When the eecretaryof agri culture came to sit at the cabinet table he cease to be an agriculturalist and would be come a politician. It was the heavy burden of taxation which kept the agricultural in dustry from moving on. Weaver, of Iowa, favored the bill, which would give labor a status which it had not yet enjoyed. Pend ing further discussion the committee rose and the house adjourned. In the house on May 15th. on motion of Perkins, of Kansas, the bill passed author izing the Kansas Arkansas Valley railroad company to construct a railway through the Indian Territory. Willis, of Kentucky, call ed up as a special order the bill to establish a sub-treasury at Louisville, and after con siderable discussion, the bill was passed. The house then proceeded to the considera tion of the bill for the appointment of a commission to inspect and report on the Indian affairs. The remainder of the after noon was occapied in discussing this matter. The house took a recess until 7:30 p. m., the session being for the consideration of reso lutions on the death of Representative Hahn, of Louisiana, in whose memory eulo gies were delivered. .Then as a mark of re spect, the house adjourned. In the house on May 17, on motion of Mr. Lanham, of Texas, a bill was passed for the erection of a public building at El Paso, Texas, at a cost of $150,000. Under call of states the following bills were introduced: By Mr. O'Neill of Missouri To grant leave of absence to employes of the United States navy yards. By Mr. Little, of Ohio To provide for covering into the treasury of specinc items, appropriations, when the president shall be satisfied that such appro priations are detrimental to public inter ests. By Mr. Hewitt, of New York A reso lution calling upon the heads of executive departments for full and complete sched ules of all trust funds in their custody, from whom and when received, to whom due, where held, amount thereof, amount of un expended balance on general award, availa ble for payment; judgments of the court of commissioners of Alabama claim, and all other unexpended balances in the custody of their departments; the estimated amount required for the repayment to importers of the excess of customs dues, and any and all claims of whatever nature, estimated or as certained, which may within the fiscal year become a Iiabilion against tho treasu-ycf the United states, the house then went in to committee of the whole, Mr. Crip, of Georgia, in the chair, on the urgent defic iency bill. The bill was considered briefly, and having been reported to the house it was passed. Several minor hUU were then passed, and June 3, and subsequent d lys were set apart, after some debate, for busi ness presented by tbe committee on ltbor. Adjourned. ANOHIP TOWNSWKPT.

In the midst of tkfr storm, about 10 o'clock last night, the ftr bells rang out their wild alarm. No great number of people responded, but direetihj the second alarm brought out tbe wbol town. It was soon learned that Shnwae creek, that heretofore harmless little s-treaa, was out of its banks and sweeping every thing before it. Standing on the banks at this mighty stream, in the rain ad dark ness, it was an appalling situation. Ther was no light, and above the roar of the aav gry waters and the flashing lightning ueT thunder, came tho cry f or help from tk drowning people. Men rushed from tfce shore into the stream.

PIttsbubq, Pa, May 15. The Chicago ex press on the Fort Wayne railway had a roogh experience passing .through the tornale wbich struck Eastern Ohio last night. Ta lightning flashed from the time they left Fort Wayne, at 8 p. m., and the ram de scended almost steadily until Limn, Ohio, was passed. Such a storm the passenger had nsver seen before. The wind steadily increased in fury, and the breaking of thi trees and the rushing sibilation of telegrapk ' wires made a concert of wild sounds. Wheat about three miles from Kirby the storm wa at its height. Suddenly there was a dUt roar in the distance and then a cyclone toc across the level plain on the south side e the track, and catcliiug a big tree tore itp by the roots, aud flung it across tho cam. One limb struck the locomotive and cut tae cow catcher in two. Other branches smaea in the windows along the three ordinary cars, and the two pullman sleepers. TelepraBk poles came dancing down'at the same time i and rocks and bushes flew through the air im a riotous manner. Tho car windows wera-t-smashed to pieces, cracked and splintered and the glass flew in every direction. Tea train kept on the rails and was brought to a standstill within 200 yards. The cars wera transformed into a crowd of excitied an. Tbe railroad men kept fairlj cooL Taa . storm continued. It is remarkable that' very few passengers were hurt.

CoL Win. Louis Schley, Grand Secxev tary L O. M. Grand Lodge, Maryland, found Bed Star Cough Core a perfect and certain remedy. Price, 25 cents a. bottle. He Got Hlfl Customer. Dry Goods Reporter, The following etory is told of an en terprising New York jobber, the eveat having taken place some years ago: Tha merchant in question, having heard ot the arrival of a country trader who - known to be a large purchaser and of u questionable credit, was resolved to gat him to visit his establishment, and, onea there, he felt sore he could secure him as a customer. He accordingly sent oat one of his drummers, of whom he had quite a number, adapted to every taete and disposition. The one. sent however returned -without success. No 2 dispatched, with no better success, again No. 3, and ho on, until all hsA. gone and come back without their mam. The merchant now determined to- go himself, and finding that bmudy asd water and free tickets to tho theater was of no avail, for tho conutry trader did not take one or go to the other,- he was reduced to the necessity of empfoy ing a ruse, which, as tho sequel snow, was simple as well as effectual. On tak ing his departure, after a pleasant inter view, the merchant took care to commit the "mistake" of taking the trader's Sat instead of his own. Next morning, as was expected, the merchant received prompt visit at his store from the country trader, who called to look up tbe hat which he supposed had been hurriedly exchanged. This was what the mer ch3nt wanted, and through this BoUaxcoabWotgo62siml secured regular customer. The manager of the Fort "Wayne, TaaT Gazette, T&r. B.
