WASHINGTON, March 2.-Nearly the whole Of the
executive session Of the Senate to-day was devoted
70 discussion in regard TO the of Lieutenant
Woodhull S. Scheuck u nephew Of General Schenck
nominated to be assistant Quartcrmaster and cap
tain in the Marine Corps
This nomination was reported adversely from the
Committee on Naval Affairs fortnight ago. 1t was
to-day opposed by members of that Committee and
by various other Senators. on the ground that tho
proposed promotion would "jump" Lieutenant
Schenck over the heads OF thirty or thirty-iivo
senior officers, and that although he is admittedly
a neritorous officer the Senate should reject his
nomination means OF putting stop to the prac-
tice Of disregarding seniority. 1t was argued on
the other hand that the President had In this In
stance iudicously exercised lawful prerogative OF
selection, and that tho Senate could not. without
unjust discrimination. reject the nomination Of
Lieutenant schenck. IL had confirmed number
of similar promotions during past few years. iRcud-
ing that of Major GOodloe, OF the same corps q
