Congressional Proceedings. SENAT Washington, February 3. Before the senate met this rnorninar Mr. Rid- dlebarger's desk wa3 the center of attraction to visitors and such sena tors as were in the chamber.

A beau tiful harp rested upon it, a tribute, as is presumed, from Riddlebarger's Irish admirers. The harp was over two feet high. The frame was composed of tea-roses, japonicas, hyacinths, heliotropes and mignonettes; the base of azalias, eupharoias, lilies and other rare exotics. The strings of the harp were wreathed with smilax. "Is that a Welsh harp?" Senator Dawes asked ot Senator Jones, of Nevada.

"No," Senator Jones "it is the harp of Eriu. Mr. Miller, of New York, presented the credentials of William M. Evart3, elected United States senator from the State of New York. The credentials, which were unusually lenRthy, were read.

The chair (Mr. Edmunds) stated the paper3 read did not contain any certificate from the governor, as required by act of congress, and the papers were referred to tho 'committee oa privileges and elections. The senate resumed consideration of the inter-state commerce bill. The question was on Mr. Plumb's motion to add "under similar circumstances' to the amendment offered by Mr Beck, which amendment prohibits a company from charging moie for transporting good3 over a part of its line than for taansporting the same Plumb's motion was agreed to twenty.

The question then recurred on Mr. Beck's amendment, as mollified. On this Mr. Vance took the lloor. Mr.

Vance thought the eloquence of the senators was in inverse ratio to their disposition to do anything effective. It has been said that so many people were interested in railroad stocks we ought not to pass laws to restrict their charges. The same argument would apply to the business of robbing hen roosts. There was, in Mr. Vance's opinion, one great mystery about the railroad business, and that was the meek endurance and long-suffering patience of the American people.

The claims of Tanderbilt, Jay Gould, Albert Fink, et id omne genus, to ve cheapened the price of com modi by railroad transportation, were claims that properly belonged to science and not to the parties iimed. Alter debate, Beck's amendment was voted do wn. further amendments of detail offering to the house bill, Mr. Cullom moved now to amend by substituting for it the senate, or commisjion Kil Agreed to Yeas, 35; nays, 18. The democrats voting in the affirmative were: Messrs.

Colquitt, Hampton, Jonas, McPherson, Morgan and Pugh. The only republicans who voted in the negative were Messrs. Edmunds and Van Wyck. Adjourned. HOUSE Washington, February 3.

Also, what amount of receipts of the government have been received in silver coin, or certificates, since the 1st of January, 187t. Adopted. On montiou of Mr.

E-iton, tho son-ate amendment to house concurrent resolution making arrangements for counting the electorial vote, was agreed to. Mr. Cox, of New Y'ork, from the committee on naval affairs, reported back the resolution calling on the secretary of the navy for information, as to what amount of money had been expended by the naval advisory board, and what changes had been made from the original plans of hulls, boilers, for the Chicago, jston, At lanta, and and tne cost or such changes. Adopted. Mr.

Stewart, of Tex from the committte on foreign affairs reported a resolution requesting tha president to take all necessary and proper measures to assure to Julio R. S.tntor, au American citizen, imprisoned in Ecuador a speeedy and impartial tiral, and protect him in hi3 lifo and property. Speaker pro tern Blackburn, announced the regular rder to be the consideration of the resolution pro vid ing that for tha remainder of the session, one hour every morning should be devoted to the disposal of measures called up by individual members, unless five objections are made thereto. Mr. Keifer moved to amend by striking out five and inserting ten.

Agreed to. The resolution amended wa3 sdopted. The house then went into committee of the whole on the river and harbor bill. General debate-) being limited to three hours. Mr.

Breckenrid'e criticised the bill in that it did not make sufuoient appropriation for tho improvement of more important the Mississippi Cario. which as so many separate harbors alon river. below he regarded links in the land chain of river navigation. He then passed on to a review ot the work of improvement of the Galveston harbor by the engineers, denounc- V. I iiave our iug it as a complete failure and commenting upon the action of the oihcer in charge in submitting reports congress, which be declared lalse aid misleading.

He bad no hopes of the ultimate success of (he work, uuless the submerged jetty plan was abandoned. He defended the action of the committee in recommending tho appointment of Capt. Eads as advisory engiui rr of the Mississippi river commission, which had, in many instances, departed from the original plans and always with uc satisfactory results. Mr. Price, of Wisconsin, said the bill was neither a fair nor just one.

He opposed tho provision tor the improvement of Galveston harbor and thought that for the government to enter upoa work which would ultimately require the expenditure of 8,000,000 without plaus or recommendations, was little short of mid summer madness. Mr. Hepburn suggested more ecouncal lor the to move Galveston to a to try to move a harbor After speaking tood nepin canal he opposed the appropriation Vi. vii ivi mo jVLisniiiMiirn liver, WUlCn he nid not think advisable for the government. After a speech from Mr.

Funston in support of the bill, general debate closed and the first section of the bill was read. the appropriation for the Mississippi river, li that only 600,000 was ap- piopnateu ior- improvement be-ween the sources of the Ohio river. Tht was not a fair share of the pork, Laughter. If the Mississippi river had got to carry through the gigantic scheme, the committee should have been a little more liberal. Unless river and harbor committees would agrea to a proper divide when it came to apnropriations for the Mississippi river," he in the language of the poet would "kick," Laughter.

Pending i urther action the committee rose ai.d the house adjourned. Dehberatiiijr on Dynamite. Washington, February 3. Representatives Eaton and Lamb, from the sub-committee of the committee on foreign affairs, made a report full of common resolutions, recently referred to them, calling upon the secretary of state for such information as he mjght have relative to the connection of any American citizen, or citizens, with the explosion in London. The sub-committee, while it viewed djnarmte with abhorrence, hold, that to adopt resolutions of the referred to would be acknowledging that citizens of the United States were parties to the conspiracy against England and connected with the recent explosions in London.

It i3 believed congress ought not to assume such position. The report was tabled, subject, in another form, to be considered again at a meeting of the committee next Thursday. MORE A1JOUT CUNNINGHAM. London, February 3. Yesterday Mr.

Poland, crown solicitor, said Cunningham was charged under the explosive act with having caused the Tower explosion, and if his guilt should be established, he was liable to imprisonment for life with hard labor. If he should be found guilty of only having explosives in hi possession with intent to use theca illegally, he was liable to twenty years, imprisonment at hard labor, if he should be proved as having djEamite in hi3 possession under circumstances warranting the bulief that he was intending to use it for illegal purposes. Tne crown, if it could prove Cunningham as the criminal who actually caused the explosion in the Tower, had a right to have the charge as made against the prooner cuanfe aa iuaae turainsij uie urMuuer u-ithTirawn mri hSwM jria.fw.,! tv.r I destroy the queen's arsenal and miii- tary stores. The solicitor closed his address by stating ha hoped to be able, upon some future occasion, to produce evidence to show that one of the worat effects of the panic produced by the outrage was, it cansed so many employes to play right into the hands of the dynamiters. Some firms in London, others in Leeds and others- in Sheilield were dismissing all their Irish employes.

One of the largest publishing houses in London, Saturday, dismissed every person of Irish birth. Previous to remanding the prisoner in answer to a request for the privilege of an interview with Cunningham, made by (Juillan, ono of the couusel for defense, Judge Ingram replied: "Nobody would be allowed to see or converse with the prisoner without a special permit from Sir William Vernon Hsrcourt, home secretary." By the1! time the examination was the crowd that pressed around the building numbered many thousands. The adjoining house tops and every window in the neighborhood were crowded with people curious to see Cunningham during the progress of the van, which conveyed the prisoner back to Clerkenwell pritoii. The streets along the route were lined with people. With the ex ception of the prisoner all gave an account of themselves, submitting without examination, and answering the questions put to them.

The prisoner, Ilr. Poland thought, was lound among those detained because he dared not, alter tii-3 explosion, attempt to hurry away jo-r tear or attracting the atten-tion'of the police. Imrnediately alter his detention at tha tower, Ouuning-h ira answered some questions correctly, but contradicted himself in so many ways, and betrayed such guilty anxiety, that he was placed under ar rest on suspicion ot being concerned in some way in the explosion, and the detectives were then assigLtd to hunt up the prisoner's history, and almost every step they took tended to the conviction that the prisoner was one of the principals in that day's dynamite outrage The point dweit on by Mr. Poland was fact that no writing was found in the lodgings occupied by Cunningham. Although he did much writing Lims -If he carefully removed every trace of his correspondence, as in the nn mo-randum books found among his eilee.ts every page that had borne writing was found carefullly torn out.

The solicitor then proceeded to de scribe other evidence found against Cunningham. Among this was a tle-toDator, which Mr. 1'olard and exhibited to the court. This out of the trunk belonging to the prisoner while the police were exam ining nis luggage. Col.

u-n chief inspector of explosives had 1'onaJ the detonator and pronounced it a machine used in the plosion of dyu-amite. The detona'or was of thw kind used to produce concussion to explode dynamite, acd was operated by mean3 of a fuse. TALK OF A RESCUE.

February 3. Two thousand persons gathered at a socialists' meeting last night in Concordia hall avenue, a German quarters. It was rumored previous to the meeting that troubled would be caused by Augustus Schwab and Ilerr Most, aided by a number ot tneir aa-her ents. who intended to capture and control the proceedings. The less re-diculous element of the party, headed bythe editor, Sehelsch, of the VolK Zeitung, were determined to hold the extremists in check.

Voluminous circulars, printed in English and German, denouncing violence and Iiih dynamite outrages, were being wide ly circuiateu Dy ocneiscn, out, evened the Sehelsch men who, in re turn, issued an inilammatory appeal applauding the dynamiters and Captain McCullogh, of the Seventeenth precinct, attended the meeting with a posse ot men. fccneiscn caneu the assembly to order, and in such a wav that a tumult ensued, in which chairs, clubs and revolvers were used. Cautain McCullogh commanded silence, and forced hi3 way to the platform, followed by hi3 men. Schwab sijvv him, and shouted, "it's the police; kill the of -3!" The infuriated mob turned upon the olllcers, anil Captain McCullogh as struck on the head with a chair and knocked down. Ha regained his feet, and at the revolver's point kept the mob at bay.

The socialists then wanted to resume deliberations, and supplemented their demands by drawing clubs and pistols. Captain McCullough was reinforced by twenty policemen. This enraged the crowd still further and they again attacked the police who responded with their clubs and the rioters were badly punished. Many heads were cracked. With tho exception of officer Rott, who was slightly cut in the face find a few bruises suffered by Capt.

McCullough, none of the policemen were injured. Peter Brown, one of the rioters, had his leg broken and was sent to the hopital Augustus Schwab was the only man arrested.

New Yokk, February 3. The headquarters of O'Donovan Rossa's paper have been temporarily removed to Chambers street hopital, where its editor-in-chief to day with the bullet from Mrs. Dudley's pistol etill embedded ia his back. Rossa's office in Centre street was closed to-day. Physi cians at the hospital thought Rossa's condition had improved during the night.

The only visitor to Rossa up to eleven this morning was his secretary, Patrick Joy ce. Mrs. Rossa went home late last nisht and had not returned this morning. Mrs. Dudley was taken this morning from the station house where she has been confined during the night to the Tombs police court.

A number of 1 people gathered at the station house and followed the oiiieer and his charge while they walked to th3 court house. When the court was reached Mrs. Dudley was conducted into the private examination room, where she remained until her case was called by Justice Patterson. Arthur C. Butts (lawyer) accompanied the accused to the coi-rt.

When the fart of the presence of the prisoner became known, the hall of justice became rapidly occupied until entrance was denied to late comers The enclosure reserved for the lawyers was occupied by a number of these gentlemen, some politicians and a swarm of reporters. When Mrs. Dudley entered the gaze of every person in the court room was riveted on her face. She liked calmly to the bar between an officer and her lawyer and after looking for a moment into the justices' face, lot her eyes fall to the ground. She looked a trifle tired alter having spent the night in the station house, but her cheeks were still rosy and her eyes quite bright.

Lawyer Butts presented the case. He said he received a dispatch late last night, signed by P. Edwards, ask ing him to defend Mrs. Dudley. He went to the station house and saw Mrs.

Dudley. She said she knew noth-ria- about the desired learned by The morning papers to-day, that the dispatch was a bogus one. 1 Pierrepont Edwards, Brnish Consul, denied having sent any dispatch whatever, but he said he had not been consulted by any of Mrs. Dudley's friends and didn't know what he should do in the case. He continued: "She told me she desired me to defend her.

While reserving ray right as a coun sellor to act in the case, or withdraw, I shall endeavor to do what will be for Mrs. Dudley's best interest. For the present my client will remain mute. She neither pleads guillty or not guilty." The court remarked she would be held to await the result of Rossa's in jury, and remanuea ner. wnenjurs.

Dudley turned to leave tne court-room a smile played upon ner race, arte drew her cloak about her andcalmly walked out of the room behind the officer.

Van Gorman, was a physician two years ago to a company which built a large hotel at Rockaway. Another family. of relations held position in Ojuebec. This branch, when ia New York, showed invitations they claim to have received to Princess Louise first reception. The entire family affected English costume to a remakable extent and by their bigotry and English ideas, alienated several persons who were otherwise inclined to be friendly.

Mrs. Dudley left New Y'ork hjspital four months ago, and returned to Canada, where she has been connected with English government secret service. She cams to New York only recently. WHAT FINERTY SAYS. Washington, January 3.

Representative Finerty said, when he heard of the shooting of O'Donovan Rossa: "I am sorry; Rossa is a true man and a patriot," When asked what would be the result of the assassination, he said that would depend upon what was the motive of the shooting. "If it should turn out," he said, "that the woman who shot O'Donovan Rossa is a lunatic, nothing could be done, al-. though all true Irishmen would regret such an attempt upon thi life of a brother patriot; but if. oa the other hand, it should be fouud she was a hired assassin, then this would prove to be but beginning of vendetta.

The Jen- nette-Owens contest tor tho sureiv- alty of this county, which was taken fore tne supreme court on me piea that the lower court had no jurisdiction, was decided to-day, Chief ustice Willie delivering the opinion, in which it is held that the district courts htfve jurisdiction to try the right to an ofiice on suit brought for its recovery by the party claiming the right to it, as against ono who has usurped tbe Ollice and holds possession of it wrongfully when the value of the ollice is 500 or more. The right to try the title to the or- fice carries with it the right to estab lish that title by the evidence ot the means through which it was aquired. The proper remedy to pursue lor the recovery of the office is by an information in the nature of a quo warranto filed by the state's counsel the relation ot the claimant.
