The estimates are not being cut down very much by the Appropriation Committee. Admiral Porter's coutiraaatijn for his new position by the Senate is somewhat doubtful. The rumor of a general strike among the miners of the Schuylkill region has no foundation in fact. A largo number of tobacco manufac turers are in Washington, seeking a change in the present law upon tobacco. The placeB of the striking shoemakers in New York city are beginning to be filled by hands from the Eastern States. In the United States Senate yesterday, after the close of our report, a bill was intro duced by Mr. Chandler authorizing the Presi dent to suspend commercial intercourse be tween the United States and British North America and Mexico, whenever, in his judg ment, the publio interest may require it. it was referred to the Commerce Committee. Bills were also introduced by Mr. Ramsay for the establishment of steamship lines to Europe, and by Mr. Spencer, for the protec tion of life and property on vessels in our mercantile marine. Mr. Sohurz offered a reso lution declaring for a general removal of disabilities, and said he would speak upon the Bubject in a few days. Mr. Morton intro duced a joint resolution for the appointment of CommisNioners to go to San Domingo "and examine fully into the condition, re sources, and relations of that republic, and the desire of its people for annexation to the United States, etc.; the report of the Cotn misfcion to be laid before Congress. The resolution, which appropriates $20,000 for the expenses of the Commission, was ordered to be printed. A number of bills were passed over. The bill to repeal the Tennre-of-Office act was referred. After an executive session the Senate adjourned. In the House, on motion of Mr. Sargent, the Appropriation Committee were directed to report what effect had been given the pro visions of the Indian Appropriation bill re quiring investigation of certain alleged frauds. Mr. Logan introduced a bill abolishing the offices of admiral and vice-admiral in the navy, which was passed without a division. On motion of Mr. Niblack the Commerce Committee were directed to inquire what additional legis lation is necessary for the transportation of imported merchandise to interior ports. Mr. Kelley offered a resolution declaring for the abolition of all internal revenue taxes, except on spirits, tobacco, and malt liquors. Adopted yeas 104, nays 0. Mr. Cox offered a resolution directing the Ways and Means Committee to report a bill abolishing the in ternal revenue system, the necessary revenue to be raised by internal taxation being as signed in just proportion to the several States; also, providing for a tariff for revenue only, deferred to the Ways and Means Committee. EUROPEAN AT PAIRS. LAST NIUHT'H DESPATCHED. ' GAMBETTA. KEPOBTED TO HAVE ASKED FOB AN ABMIBTICE THE ADVANCE ON HAVRE. Lokpon, Dec. 12. (Special to the New York Telegram.) There are rumors here that the application of Gambetta for an armistice is a stock-iobbinor canard. So imnnrtant is ' it to ascertain the truth that even the Foreign umce nas been assailed by eager inquirers who have the entree.but as far as I can ascer tain, Granville and his subordinates were re markably reticent. In the clubs and the best informed military and political circles, it is not believed that Gambetta has taken any Btep so decisive as this. A despatch from Berlin, dated December 11, Bays that the government in that city has been officially notified that the bombardment of Paris has been decided upon at a council of war at Versailles. The dissatisfaction occasioned in Berlin by thf Jnew order that married men are to join the landwehr, which broke out in a riot on Saturday and waa only suppressed by the military, etill continues, and is only smoulder ing. If the order is insisted upon a light will be lit in Germany that Bismarck will find it difficult to extinguish. London, Deo. 12. The committee, whioh was formed some time ago, Las considered it inexpedient to take public action until the Eastern question Blioum be settled. An im pression prevails that the extreme Canadian views of the fishery question cannot be sus tained. The proposal to buy the Alabama claims ia regarded in London as a big job, concocted ptobably by a clique wnicn tin already pur fUEfd fee vljOW r$ A pWftU f Jre, wvj U) tends to make them at least a hundred per cent, greater. There are those here who are confident the American Government would like to have the claims enhanced in order to make the grievances seem greater. A report from General Chausey, dated Thursday evening, says: 'We were again attacked to-day Ijy the army of Trince Frede rick Charles along the-whole front. We held our position throughout the day. All the corps were engaged from St. Laurent to Beaugency. We encamp on our positions of this morning," The 1'all Mall Gazette, in an ably written leader, argues against the declaration of Paris of 1S.M5, because it may transfer the carrying trade almost entirely to the United States. The Russian vessels building and nearly completed in Samuda's shipyards, on the Thames, are said to be mercantile and not naval ships. It is now considered impossible for Taris to receive assistance from the provinces. With the failure and retreat of the army of the Loire, all hopes in that direction are lost. The Germans look upon the capitulation of the city as a question of time, and it ia an nounced that King William only awaits that event before returning to Berlin. The garrison of Belfort continues a vigor ous defense, and their heroism and endurance excite warm admiration. London, Dec. 10. (Special to the New York World.( The German advanceon Havre haB turned aside to Dieppe, which post was probably occupied to-day. Versailles, Dec. 10. The Duke of Meck lenburg makes the following announcement from Meung, the 10th: The enemy violently attacked us yesterday, but were victoriously repulsed by the 17th and 22d Divisions, not withstanding the superiority of his forces. Our losses were smaller than yesterday. Baau fjency was occupied on the sth instant, and Vierzon to-day, BoKDEAt x, Dec. 10. The people of this city are very patriotic; they have have sent large numbers of recruits to the front, and are equipping and drilling more. Advices from Tours announce the arrival there of over 1000 German prisoners. Gambetta, in a telegraphic circular to the prefects of the deDartments from the head quarters of General Chauzey, says that Chau r.ey continues to resist the attacks of Prince Frederick Charles, taking many prisoners, and inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. From this you may judge how false are the German despatches which state that the army of the Loire ia crushed. General Chauzey, with only half of that army, is still able to successfully oppose the German advanoe. THE FIRE BILL. Another Delay. A special meeting of Common Council was held yesterday afternoon, President Louis Wagner in the chair. beveral petitions and communications were referred. The report of the conference committee was received making an appropriation for the completion of the lenders at Penrose Ferry Bridge. The bill passed. Mr. Wilms, from the Survey Committee, reported in favor of advarunng moneys for the completion of sewers. Passed. Also, a bill changing the name of Park avenue to Oakdale avenue. Postponed. Also, a resolution authorizing the Chief Engineer and Surveyor to advanoe fifty per cent, of the retained percentage, as directed by the contract upon the net current estimate, for work done upon the east Cohocksink sewer. Passed. Mr. Hetzell, chairman of the conference committee on the Paid Fire Department bill, presented a report, which accepts the amend ments of Select Council to the second sec tion, prescribing the manner, etc., of elec tion of fire commissioners. Select Council recedes from its amendment to the first sec tion. Common Council agrees to all other amendments of Select Council. Mr. Hamilton moved to lay the report of the committee on the table, on which there were yeas two, nays twenty-five. lmu being no quorum, the clerk was directed lo call the lull, and no quorum answered to their names. The clerk was again directed to call the yeas and nays upon the motion. The yeas were one and the nays were twenty-six. - Under the rules of Common Council the President then declared a number of gentle men guilty of contempt to the Chamber. ice following members were in tneir seats, but declined voting: Measrs. Canning, Car rie, Ehret, Fagen, Shane, Hamilton, Logan, Nickels, bouder, J. F. btockdale, and Waples. These gentlemen were declared guilty of contempt, and their names recorded upon the journal. The President then declared the Chamber adjourned, which the volunteer firemen regard as a complete defeat of the bill. It is proposed, however, to take the bill frm the table next Thursday.
