now." The majority we're in as little humor for
legislative business as they were for signing petitions
for once seekers. Fortunately, all the important
business had been transacted the night before The
! galleries were as crowded If 1t was the opening
instead OF the closing day OF the session. General
Banks Cuban admirers, male and female, were
| In the diplomatic box, just where they sat
| last night and 1t seemed as IL they had
not stirred from that spot through lifelong night.
The brilliant black eyes OF the ladies, who seem
| more enthusiastic than the menln this business,
| were liked upon Banks, and every movement OF his
| seemed OF interest to them. They were not kept
long In suspense, for very after the House
called to order the chairman Of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs and offered the long ooked-for
resolution relative to Cuba. Objection was made,
OF course but Banks is an adept In parliamentary
tactics, and he soon had the rules suspended, and
the resolution was passed by vote OF more than two
thirds. This was the only business Of Importance
transacted The remainder Of the time was spent in
fruitless efforts to get in pet resolutions and to
push through the numerous little jobs that always
come with the confusion and rush attending the
close OF session. IL was too late. however, when
this began, and while dozen gentlemen were yell
ling at once at the top OF their voices "Mr.
Speaker ' the Speakers gavel came down, and the
first session OF the Forty-irst Congress was at an
end. There was an immediate rush for the train,
and scores of members, lobbyists, Office hunters and
idle visitors crowded the cars bound north and
west
Concluding Hours of the Senate Session.
The last two hours Of the Senate session this fore
noon, between ten O'Clock and noon, were unmarked
by anything worthy OF special notice In the way OF
legislation. Most Of the Senators looked decidedly
played out; some Of them were evidently In very
elevated" condition, and few snoozed away in

Scenes In the Executive Sess0n-New York
City Nominations Not Acted Upon.
Both houses renamed IN session to such late hour
this morning as to prevent giving but the meagrest
account Of what took place The doors Of the Senate
renamed closed until four O'Clock, the Senators
being occupied all that time IN discussing nomina-
tOns sent to them by the President. The debate on
some or the names was more than warm; 1t was
occasionally sharp and personal, especially about
James M. Ashley, candidate for the Montana Gov
ernorshp also three or four of the New York nomi-
nees. including Bailey and Wadsworth. Before
the Senate took its recess at four A. NJ. the
anxious expectants for confirmation had gradually
withdrawn from the lobbies Of the Senate and the
only occupant Of the waiting room was Bailey,
nominated for Collector OF the Thirty-second New
York district the richest gift IN the service,
who evidently went in for fighting 1t out on that
line II 1t took till daybreak. The coalition, however,
between Fenton and Raymond as exempded In
this nomination, failed to work in a satisfactory
manner for the ire of Conkling aroused and the
senior Senator from New York succeeded in
smashing up the slate for the time being by
allowing all the city nominations to expire
with the fall Of the gavel Whether Grant
Will renominate these New York gentlemen who have
caused SO much trouble among the Senator'S, or
whether he will withdraw them, is question By no
means easily answered The Baieyites assert that
his name and those Of all the other New York
nominees, except WadswOrth, will be sent to the
Senate again on Monday next; on the other hand
the antl-Baieyites state that it is almost certa inty
that Grant will withdraw the names OF such men as
Bailey and wadsworth against whom charges Of a
serious nature have been partially sustained
than involve the two New York Senators in difh-
Guilty, which could not easily be adjusted and which
from present appearances is looming up in the
future.

O'Clock this morning accompanied by Secretaries |
