pronounced u An outrage ana some Of the Maine
members went so far as to soy that the President
had been imposed upon by the British shipbuilders
upon tho Clyde and their allies here. Ben Butler
was generally credited with having had something
TO do with the message, and with having prevailed
upon the President TO send into Congress within
few hours Of the close Of the session. to crowd
II through without much confederation. These sus
picions probably had their foundation In the fact
that during the session Butler favored such propo
sition o. the President now recommended. But
something had TO be done with tho message, and
quickly too, 30 Schenck moved tn reference to
the Ways and Means Committee, with instructions
to report forthwith. At this stage there was an
other recess for refreshments, and during the hour
that the Ways and Means were engaged In framing
bill to carry out the Recommendations Of the mes
sage the proteetoniss and the Representatives Of
the shipbuilding interests were a. industrious as
bees making combinations TO defeat whatever bill
the committee might bring In embodying the views
Of the message. There was Q singular mixing up OF
tariff men and free traders in these combtna-
lions. There. for instance was Brooks OF
New York, who has wasted his strength

with Kelley. the champion Of the protectionists.

was running around with Lynch, OF Maine. muster

debate followed. The majority were against the

fell through. The announcement Of the Speaker de-

Shortly after the resumption Of business this morn.
ing the Senate went into executive session and again
took up the nomination OF Mr.. Frelinghuysen as
Minister to England. Sumner again led of, extoll.
ing the virtues Of his friend Motley. Wilson also
made q few remarks in support Of the views
Of his colleague. Thurman and Bayard. both
democrats, spoke In favor Of the nomination on per.
sonal grounds. A desultory discussion was also
INDUCED in, q number Of Senators desiring to
express their friendship. Alter considerable
man1uvring q vote was reached resulting
in the confirmation Of Mr. Frelinghuysen
by 40 yeas to nays. This Is second
downfall for the opponents or the President within
the past week. Unlike Fenton, sumner did not
stick by his party consisting OF Robertson, Ross and
sprague. After using his influence to Its utmost
extent and deluding three Senators into vote In

Probably had Summers name come before those OF
the three who were Influenced to vote In the mega

again went into open session.
