DebatIsg on the Nominations.
WASHINGTON, March Sowing to the
closeness OF tho Republican vote in the
Senate, the two New Hampshire Sem.
tors have abandoned the purpose Of 60
ing homo to participate in the political
canvass now going on In their State.
When the Senate went into executive
session TO consider tho Cabinet appoint.
ment there was quite n lively scene In
tho chamber. When the name OF Evarts,
TO DO Secretary Of State, was announced,
Blaine moved its reference to the Com.
mittes on Foreign Relations. Then
there was an earnest discussion. in which
some Republicans exhibited much in
dignation At some Of the nominations,
and finally II seemed generally nc
quiesced in that they must BIO referred.
aud none DO confirmed to-day. Conkling
demanded the reference OF the nomina-
ton Of Schurz To the Finance Commit.
tee. and quite u number Of Senators do.
manjed the reference OF Keys nomina-
ton. There was more or less objection
to every one, aud there Is every proba.
bility OF an excited debate over them
when they come before tho Senate
again. There were perhaps ten or
twelve Senators who made objections TO
one or another OF the nominations, and
numbers then spoke simultaneously.
Tho Executive session continued about
twenty. avem inues. After adjournment
tho Democratic Senators met In caucns
and fully discussed the policy to be pur.
sued by them on the Cabinet nomina.

debate II Is believed tho Southern Dem.
ocratis Senators will use their power In
the Executive sessions OF the Senate to
induce the Administration TO refuse any
recognition OF Packard In Louisiana or
Chamberlain In South Carolina. They
say II they can DO assured that tho Adj.
ministra,ion will stand firmly on the
policy Of non.intervention IN the affairs
Of those States they will vote to confirm
these nominations; otherwise they main
tain that to accomplish this through di.
visions In the Republican ranks will DO

long contsnded, No formal action was
taken by the caucus. rs committees Of
the Senate will not perhaps DO appointed
before Friday, md M q single objection
will prevent the consideration Of any
nomination the same day 1t il reported
from tho committee there Is not much
probability that the Cabinet nomina.
lions can be finally disposed Of sooner
than Saturday. II Is believed that the
nominations will DO confirmed unless
the Democrats act In n body against
them. II has always been tho custom
to act on the nominations Of persons
who have boon members Of tho Senate
without the previous formality OF ref.
srencs. This is done rs q compliment
