FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsHINGTON, Tuesday, Feb. 10, 1885,
The Senate, to-day, in executive session, after a
very warm debate, confirmed Wilson Shannon as Gov
enor of Kansas by strictly party vote-tvelye votes
being cast in the negative.
During the executive session an Intellectual effort
was made to conduct the discussion with open doors.
COL Fremont's warrant for the Mariposa tract OF
land in California was signed to-day by the Land Com
missioner.
The State Department has sent to the Senate
mass of documents bearing on the Central American
question as far back as 1850. Among them is plan
proposed by Marcoeta to Lord Clarendon, two year,
ago that Nicaragua, Great Britain and the United
States unite in treaty for the settlement of the Mos
quito Indian question. Mr.. Marcy, in letter to Mar
coeta, denies that Great Britain has any sovereign
right over any part of Central America and that to
unite with her in the treaty proposed would be dis-
tinct acknowledgment that she has and such an ar
rangement would interfere with the claims set up by
Costa Rica.

uOrsr OF REPRESENTATIVES,.


Mr.. HICKMAN, from the Committee on EectlOh'
offered resolution empowering the Committee 70
send for persons and papers in the Kansas contested
election case.
Mr. PHELPS thought that the exercise OF such
power would be usurpation, as Mr.. Reeder does
not claim he was elected by virtue OF the law passed
by the Kansas Legislature.
He defended his constituents from the charge Of be-
inc Border Ruians which had been repesed here and
elsewhere and by one Senator Wilson, who omes from
a State where men aired on W deienseess women and
burned Ursune Converts. 80.
He earnestly condemned the Anti-Slavery men In
Kansas and claimed that the Missounans desire not
the shedding of blood but TO sustain the laws =,
Mr. WASHBURN of Maine regretted that MT
Phelps had INDUCED in such remarks, which were eA-
ceedingly exciting not TO say infammaioIy.
A large majority Of the people in this country De.
heve in their hearts that there was no Legislature OF
Kansas, law, and nothing having the Visor AM
effect OF law under which the election had been he1d
and by which Mr.. Whitfield claims his seat as pee
gate. This matter should be investigated ana ne
asked how could il be done unless power 70 send iot

Mr.. STEPHENS remarked that Gov. Reeder, nm

PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday, Feb. ID, 1886.
The proceedings to-day seem decisive of this: The
abrogation Of the Twelfth Section; the secession a
the South the adoption, then, of the Minority Reso-
luton Of June, and the dissolution postponement OF
the Nominating Convention. The Southern Caucus
did nothing important.
SECOND DISPATCH.
The Afternoon Session was occupied with the Penn
sylvana contested seat. The Council wen, into Com
mittee of the Whole, Gov. Ford Of Ohio in the chair.
Each party was heard m hour After which the Ante
Twelfth Section Edie and johnson Delegates were
admitted by Yeas ga Nays As. The South voted
uptedly Nay, save Mr. Ellis of the District Of Colup
bia, and two from Delaware, Ohio man, and about
hall the New York Delegation also voted Nay. All
the rest Of the FreeState Delegates voted Yea. The
Doughfacts wanted IRA roce vote, but Mr.. Sperry
of Connecticut brought them up with the Yeas and
NAYS. The admitted were undoubtedly the right
full Delegates; but the question was made practically
test one on the twelfth section. The North won
a handsome victory and the twelfth section Is doomed.
It will be abbrogated two 10 one, unless the South Is
strengthened before the vote is TAKEN There great

MR.. BUCHANAN AND LORD CLARENDON.

FROM Own Our Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Feb. -, 1856.
There must be some mistake in the first tele-
graphic dispatch Of the Canadas news, alleging
that angry words had passed between Lord Claren-
don and Mr. Buchanan on the Central American
question. Neither of these parties are likely to
resort to such arguments. Besides, there has been
no important correspondence between the two
Governments on this subject since the Presidents
Message, which would provoke any extreme opin-
ions or actions. Lord ClarendOn's speech in the
House of Lords, stating that he had proposed
referring this matter TO the arbitration OF third
power must be revival Of the old suggestion.
no formal proposition was ever submitted to this
Government; but in q conversation between Mr..
Buchanan and Lord Clarendon about year ago,
Lord Clarendon presented it as a mode of adjust
ment. Mr.. Buchanan replied then that there was
only one potentate whom the United States would
in any way consent to accept arbitrator, and
he was Nicholas of Russia, whom England had
made war with. 1t may be that Lord Clarendon
has recently renewed this Offer and hence the
allusion in his speech Our Administration will
not now accept arbitration.
II is not impossible that the enlistment issue may
nave excited feeling but hardly of the charac
Ter described in The Morning Adrertiser.
The Canadas mails will arrive tomorrow and
then more will be known.
Gov. Shannon was to-day confirmed as Governor
Of Kansas, after hard and animated struggle
notwithstanding the tie on recOmmitting the re-
port of the Committee on Elections, asking power
to send for persons and papers in Kansas the resO
luton will prevail by small majority.
