extensively tonight. None Of tho Democratic
Senators werc present, and ono Of the Iecpul'
lIcans WINS absent, yet tho Important New York
nominations wcEo unanimously reported upon,
two OF them adversely and ono lav0rably, 1t
was reported that ConklIng, tho Chairman, had
not sent notices 10 tho Dcmocrntic members,
but he indignantly denies this Charge, aud says
that notices Wero sent to oil last night Ihe
facts arc ascortatucl to be these:
meeting vas to have been held yesterday,
but WAS postponed On account OF the caucusca
OF the two parties. Dennis, OF Maryland, Is
tho single Democrat who agrees with Cuuklin0
that Roosevelt and Prince
SHOULD NOT pn CONFIRMED
as Collector an1 Naval OEllccr respectively, be-
cause there Ia no cause for tho removal OF
Arthur uud Cornell. Accordingly, Dennis, who
was absent In baltimore, and could not 10
present at the meeting today, gavo ConklinE
proxy 10 be used ID his discretion. Conkllug
used It 10 pair Burnsitv, q Republican, who Is
nm Administration Senator mud favored
tho confirmation. Ransom, another
Dctuocsnt OF tho Committee, Is sick
ut bis hotel from his stack Of
vcrtlgo tho other night, and could not come.
Randolph did not receive his notice Of the meet
ing until 1t WA too late, and Gen. Gordon, the
remaining Democratic member,
RxcE1vEn no NOTICE,
and did not know that there was TO be meet
Ing until It was over. The Democrats, however,
do not complain that any deception was prac-
tiect, anil wls,. no mention to bo made Of tho
facts relatinG to them. as they say they Will
have votcH In tho Senate Chamber. The Com.
mittee under these peculiar circumstances re-
ported adversely upon tho nomination Of
Roosevelt TO bo Collector, and Prince 10 DO
Naval OflceE, but fayorahly upon Acrtist to bo
Surveyor. The latter was nominated to fill q
asgy the suyypenson 5 ot % Arthur "s and cosnc The TSe
Democrats say. however. that II those casoa nru
reached the Presidents nomination will cef-
taluly bo couQrtned, as thcre. are but ypry fcw
