WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.
The Electoral Commission, after
taking a recess for half an hour in The
middle of the afternoon, remained in
secret session until NEARLY s o'clock
this evening, when it adjourned
to meet again for a private conference
at 10 O'Clock to morrow morning. No
vote was taken to-day or n conclu-
sion reached on any point, but it was
agreed that all pending questions in
regard to the admission Of evidence
shall be decided tO-morrow. 1t can
be stated thai, according to the present
indications, the majority of the Com
mission will decide that, in addition to
the electoral certificate, no evidence
can be received by the Commission in
regard to Florida's case, except such
as relates merely To the lotion of the
Florida State government subsequent
to the president al election. Conced-
ing this to be the determination OF the
Commission, its inquiries in regard to
matters of fact Will be restricted to
com paratively a narrow range, and thus
a hnal decision lhthe fiorlda case may
tie expected Oon than has Teen
generally anticipated. The evidence
concerning the action Of the Florida
Courts and LEGISLATURE OF the mat, er
in controversy is of y documentary
character and Is already accessible to
the Commission, and 1t is probable g.
therefore, that it, final decision in tn

As to the prospects,, 1t Is quite certain
depressed. This is so much the fact
that several OF them have said to DAY,
privately, that their only hope was III
t-chnicalities. Respecting oregon,
the Republicans are more confident
than heretofore, but there Is some
reason to expect that the commission
will find a middle ground on The sub
