Mr. Dawes called up the bill to amend the law concerning the Commission of Fish and Fisheries, and moved it be passed. It provides for the appointment by the President, with the advice and con sent of the Senate, of a person of scientific and practical acquaintance with fish and fisheries, as Commissioner, at a salary of $5,000. such person not to hold any other United States or 8tate office. , A motion by Mr. Reagan, to reduce the salary to $3,000. was rejected, and the bill was passed. Mr. Allison called up the holiday recess resolution and moved its adoption. Mr. Plumb said he would vote against the resolution, because he thought the pro posed recess was againBt the public inte rest. Congress would be in session till the dog-days, and during the latter part of the Bession the country would be in the midst of a heated Presidential canvass. There was no reason why members of Congress should go home for the holiday. Mr. Plums then proceeded at considers ..." bie length to make a political speech, at tacking more particularly the President's mesaaire and the financial nnliev of the ad ministration. He said he presumed the ad- juuiuuicuv louiuuuu nuuiu yoso, uut u believed that it would not be, with a fair regard to public interests or to the duty vwnich rested upon Congress. 7 Mr. Plumb's speech brought on a general political debate, participated in by Messrs.

The Blair educational bill was taken up as unfinished business, and then, on motion oi air. bnerman, at -4 30 trie senate pro- needed to executive business, and hair an ; hour atterwaras adjourned. "Mr. Randall, of Penn.. from the Hnm, mittee on Rules, eubmitted a partial re port.

The gentle- men ; from Maine and Illinois (Reed and Cannon) and he constituted the majority of -the committee on this question. . -Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, said he de sired to offer ah amendment requiring W appropriation bills to be reported to .the House by the committees having them in charge within sixty days,during the long session, and forty days during the short x session of Congress.

Report of tne Commission on Blmtt alfem r anel Freo Coinage of Sliver Obaervamee of tbe Ifolielaya Private Bills Presented In tttm Bonitrls ternal Revenue Collections Nomi nations Confirmed ny.. tne venate. - By Telecraph to the Kornfcur Star. Washinqton', Dec. 21.Th8 "President to-dav transmitted to Congress the report of Edward Atkinson, of Mass., -who, he says, "was specially .designated by me, under the provisions of succef sive acts of Congress, to visit the financial centres of Europe in order to ascertain the feasibili ty of establishing by international standard a fixity ratio between the two precious metals in free eoinage of both." Mr. At kinson's report, with, its appendices, makes I a volume oi JJau pages, ue summarizes the results of his inquiries under four heads, as follows; ' 1. There is no prospect of any cnange in. the present monetary system of .European States which can modify or influence the financial policy of the United States at the present time. 2. There are no indications oi any cnange in the policy of the financial authorities of the several States visited by me which warrant any expectation that the subject of a bimetallic treaty ror a common legal ten der coupled with free coinage of silver. will be seriously consiaerea at tne present time by them. S. There is no indication mat tne subject oi bimetallism has received any intelligent or serious consideration outside of a small cir cle in each country named, as a probable or possible remedy for existing causes or alleged depression in trade. 4. There is no considerate politically organized body of influential, persons m either country with whom a combination could be made, if such combination or co oneration were desirable on the part of a similar body in the United States, for pro-' moting any definite or practicable measure of legislation to bring about the adoption of a bi-metallic theory according to tbe commonly accepted meaning of that term. The discussion is as vet almost wnoiiy per sonal and without concentration of purpose on the presentation of any well devised measure capable of being acted upon. Mr. Atkinson's most important conclu sion from his observation, is, that it would be unwise and inexpedient for the United States again to take the initiative in pro moting action for a general adoption or a bi-metallic legal tender coupled with free coinage of silver, tor the reason that such action is misconstrued ana may tend to re tard, rather than to promote, the object aimed at. Secretary Fairchild issued an order to day for the closing of all custom houses on the 28th inst.. and the 2d proximo. He also ordered the closine of the Treasury Department at noon .on the 24th and 31st insts. A similar order has been issued with rerard to the navy yards. As a result of the adoption by the House to-day of the new rule admitting private bills without the formality of presentation in open house, about 800 of these measures were thrown npon tne clerk's desa: within a short quaater of an hour. While many of them are original bills the majority ap pear to be "old stagers." Waskinston, Dec. 21. Collections of internal revenue for the first five months of the present fiscal year amounted to $51,866,549, being an increase of $3,854, 742 as compared with the collections for the corresponding period of last year.

The Guar dian Bays : "The market is tame and inac tive,- In some few cases fair progress has Deen maae, dui oitener sellers have been disappointed. . There is no lack of inquiry in most departments, but the divergence prevented an agreement as to price. There is no sign of removal of the difficulty by a rise in the distributing markets, while the supplies continue ample. Transactions in yarns for Eastern home and foreign mar kets have been few and unimportant. races are nrm. sellers are vainly trying to obtain an advance. There have been some sales of export yarns for India, China ana japan at null prices. Lbut the Quantity was email. i or come consumption pro gress has been moderate even in most fa vorable instances. Manufacturers declare that they see no way for large operations at current rates until cloth rises. Cloth is in active. Best shirtings and common heavv- sized sorts of ordinary width are firm and wen engaged. There is fair inquiry for jaconets. There are some orders for dho- ties, bat they are mostly mfeasible. Best painters are steady. Common are dull and neglected. Colored goods are hot readily saleable, prices having increased owing to the rise in yarn, while buyers are unwilline to pay the advance. Heavy goods are in demand in moderate quantities. ROXS, Dec. 21.

The explosion was felt, for a long distance.' Only a few seconds after the first explosion, another followed, and another and another. in .rapid, succession losianuy. uames burst from the Poole mill and A tbe rear walls fell in. The fire burned with great fierceness, and although the workmen has tened to set out it is reared some must have perished in the' flames. It was only a few minutes before the Washington, mills, adjoining the burning structure, was also on fire. Tbe cause or tne explosion waa uf the sewers in the vicinity were filled with naptba. To-day 14,000 gallons of naptna were pumpea rrom me vacuum - iui Works, through a pipe line in the bed of the old canal. It was intended for the Municipal- Gas Company, but breaks in the line allowed the naptha to escape into adjoining sewers. When the sewers be came surcharged with gas it escaped into the mills and exploded there, and "after wards in tbe sewers in the streets, throwing but manhole covers and tearing up road ways. The amount of damage cannot be calculated at this hour. Two or three of the finest mills in tbe city, with their con tents, are' doomed, and several Btreets and sewers are more or less oamagea. in me vicinity of tbe fire and up Mill and 8tae streets, as far as Market street, a distance of about tbree-fourtbs or a mile, people were running in every direction, and tbe frequent explosions terrified them more. Explosions continued at such frequent in tervals for the firsrhalf hour that people were deterred from getting anywhere near the fire . It 1b not known how many persona were at work, or how many escaped. One man was seen to jump from tne second-story window of one of the buildings to the river bank below, a distance of fifty feet; his rieht leg was broken and he received st- vere internal injuries. The walls of the Jefferson mill icil in about 4 o'clock, and it is feared there are several men buried under them. Tbe en gineer of the Clinton mill, with two com panions .were standing near ine rrom or tne mill when tne explosion occurred iney retained sufficient presence of mind to abut off the steam and get out of the mill.
