Washington, D. 0., Ftb. 9— The pro ceedings of the House to-day were devoid of any exciting episode or the transac tion of auy business of general interest or importance. Borne progress was made with the consideration of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. The amendment of Mr. Baitlett, (Dem.) New York, to make the personal clerks of members of the House annual em ployes instead of sessional, which was the pending question, was agreed to, m c nimittee of the whole, by a vote of 124 to su, Mr. McMillin, (Dun.), Tennessee gave notice tiiat he would demand a vote *»y yeas and nays iu the House upon the adoption of the amendment.

Mr. VanVoorhis, (Rep.) of New York, made a personal statement that attracted (he interest and attention of nearly every member, relating to the visit of rhe Hon. W. R. Creamer, M. P., of Eng land, to the House committee on foreign affairs. He said: “Mr. Speaker: I rise to a question of privilege. It is well known that this country has been recently visited by a missionary. His name is the Hon. W. Randall Creamer, and his mission was a ‘ mission of peace He came from Eng land. we «U know how peace-loving, how averse to territorial eucr* aebmeuis, how modest and moderate are her p retorsions, and how easy to get along with, in ht r r larions with foreign powers Gnat Bntam is. "The mission of this gentleman was to establish an international treaty of ar I nitration between tin* United States and Great Britain. It was limited t<> these two powers. He came over in the Teutonic j *nd reached our shores on ihe 9sh ot January a-t. He soon thereafter came to Washington with a petitiou to tie ' President and to Congress signed by : 824 members of the British Parliament He solicited permission to appear liefor* the committee of foreign affairs of the House of Represt ntarives. As every member of that committee, I txlieve, i j against wsr.if it can be avoided,ai dis in favor of settling all disputes betweeuna ; tious by arbitration, and nsotting to tin I arbitrament of war, only when t o other i course is left open, the rt quest of th« 1 Honorable Mr. Creamer was tiuani | mously granted and he appeared before : the committee. “He invited the members of the com : mittec to put questions to him. This wai i done. I joined in the questiouiug. The cross-examination was not lengthy or severe. It seems, however, that the t* mper of this missionary became ruffled, aud after he left, the committee 1 e charged in high quarters that I had in sulted him. Os course, this ehaige was unfounded. I h-*d uo thought of insult jmg him. 1 only put a very few direct questions to him, and if he could notan swer them to his own satisfaction I can not see how the fault was mine. "I did not learu that be h.sd made the change untd after Mr. Creamer htui j >aiied for Edgland. To inanlr a d-srin guished Englishman when addressing a c*>mmittee of this house would, iii my opinion, bean abuse of the privileges ot the House. In order that the House may kuow that the charge made by this missionary of peace has no foundation to rest upon, I send to the clerk's desk to read a copy of a letter 1 have sent to Mr. Creamer which statts the ease, from my point of observation, exaet’y as it is. Wuh that I dismiss the subject.’’ At 3 o'clock the business or the House was suspended and the members listened to eulogies upon the life and services ot the late Myron B. W right.

In shipping ciicles generally there i.- some apprehension due to the knowl ed*e that a ship with a brokeu shaft or disabled machinery is in a precarious condition in such gales as have swept j the At antic during the past three days. There is a possibility that oue of the other overdue steamtrs has fallen in with the Gascogne, at.d it is standing by to give her a line when the weather sub sides AA ill Pass Over Her Coarse.
