The Monitor here publishes the proceedings of the
preliminary meetings of the chamber OF senator's but they
possess nothing of interest to readers We observe
that, at the first meeting, senator only was wanting
to complete quorum. 1t determined to call upon
Rosa, Minister of Relations to fill the vacancy. He,
however, refused to attend SENATOR because he was
in doubt whether he could discharge the duties OF that
Office while he held his place in the cabinet.
We understand that the members have all received
their pay; and, quorum IN both houses Is at last IN
attendance, shall look for speedy action upon the
treaty The indications encouraging that IFS rathca
ton will be carried by both branches and become the
law OF the land.
