the Senate Thursday was brief A smile went around the cham ber when Mr Stewart a resident of Car son City Nev where the pugilistic con test occurred offered a bill for the relief of one Corbett It

3182002 and the Indian carrying 7670220 Aftet the appropriation bills were passed a res olution for extra mileage and stationery for this session of Congress was adopted The debate on this resolution
