WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-It is as true now as it was
fx weeks ago that General Garfield has not yet
seiected single member of his Cabinet
senator Blaine said to correspondent of THE
JxIBuNx five days since that he did not know
single man who is to be a member of General Gar
Gsd's Cabinet. The Hon. Levi p. Morton
ea,d to-day that SO far as he knows,
tkers Il mo foundation whatever for
the connection Of his name with the portfolio of the
Treasury or Navy Departments General Francis
A. Walker said last night that he was not aware
that General Garfield had ever thought Of him in
connection with any Cabinet position. General
Ranm does not know or believe that there is any
Intention Of naming him to any Cabinet position.
Senator Bruce has said times that the presen-
taton ofhis entirely without his procure
ment and that the comment both favorable and
adverse was quito gratuitous Senator Allison Is
now, as he has been ever since the election, press
ne the claims Of the Hon. JamesF. Wilson, OF Iowa,
deeirinR himself TO remain in the Senate.
s General Garfield has within q week assured gen.
tlsmen who havs visited him that when his selec-
tions were made public they would all come cut at
that no had not yet positively selected q single
member OF his Cabinet and that, of course, no
tender of a Cabinet position had been made to any
biie He is listening aItentively TO all that Ii said

mind Il will be fnality He bas cunsulted Senator
ConkIing as ne has other party leaders, but Senator

THE SENATE SEEKING INFORMATION.


PUBLICATION OF THE CHINESE TREATIES.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-It is understood that the
Senate executive session tonight, after long
debate, decided to enter upon an investigation of
the way in which the Chinese treaties were made
public Senators 6aulsbury, Hill and Edmunds are
mentioned as the chef promoters OF this interest
ing enterprise and the acGulescence of other Sena-
tors Is accounted for by the fear that they would
fall under the suspicion Of having given away ths
treaties if they ventured to oppose the proposition
Reference was made to the effort of the Senate
some years ago to extort from two TRIBUNE corre-
spondents the source from which they secured a
COPY of the Treaty of Washington, which was then
before the Senate for ratification and the failure of
the Senate on that occasion was attributed 10 the
eniency with which the correspondents were treated
during their Imprisonment. 1t was urged tonight
that the virtue of actual prison walls be tried upon
any contumacious journalist who might he brought
TO the bar of the Senate.
If the contemplated action be really taken. its
motive will lie dlfficut TO understand. Every fea-
ture of the Chinese treaties bad been published long
before the text laid before the Senate Senators
would find il difficult TO give good reason why the
American people should not have been given the
knowledge of the contents Of these treaties as soon
as they were completed.

wAsHEGToN, Jan. 20-Senator Conkling enjoyed
himself for few moments to-day at the expense OF
Senator Mcdonald. The latter is the champion Of
womans rights in the Senate, and about year ago
he introduced resolution to create standing
committee Of nine Senators to which might be re-
ferred all petitions bills and resolutions relating to
the rights Of women. II was made known that he
woald call up this for action to-day. and in
consequences about seventy delegates to the National
wosnsn satirAge Convention graced the occasion by
their presence IN tss gallery.
senator Mcdonald called up the measure and
made o brief explanatory speech. Senator Conk-
iinz. to whom the subject seemed TO bc entirely
new asked with an air OF surprise. that the resolu-
ton be read again. Then, putting his hand to his
ear and concentrating his attention as with great
effort. he asked that the tirst line be read third
time.

feet docs tho Senator from Indiana wish to raise

A WEAK PARTY GROWING WEAKER.
FoRLoRN PRosPECT OF THE DEMOCRACY IN THE

SENATE.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THB TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Tbe forlorn and helpless
condition of the Democrats Of the Senate, after the
4th of March, even if they remain in the majority,
is exciting sympathy. Messrs. Thurman and Wal
lace, their acknowledged political leaders and the
only men who are able TO cope in test of political
skill with any one of half dozen
Republicans are both to be lost to the
party. Even under their leadership and
despite their numerical preponderance and
their caucuses the party has been skilfuly placed
upon the wrong side of every issue which has arisen
since, by the mouths Of Beck and Salisbury, 1t
boastfully informed the Republicans that they need
no longer be solicitous about public affairs; and
they have in consequence scored more defeats than
victories. WAT. then, will they do for leaders
Eaton pId Mcdonald, men of respectable political
attainments are also approaching the end of their
official life. Bayard, their most eminent man, Is
quite unequal to the mastery of the tortuous tactics
which find favor with the Democrats. Pendleton
is discreet but does not get the bearings OF
matter until the day after it ceases to be
n subject of interest Ben " Hill is beyond doubt

might run down here occasionally and pilot them

ever, that they will c0nne their attention to local
issues" and that, in the Senate at least, year OF
two will elapse before the Democratic party Will
venture to erect itself into organized support OF any
thing more important as political issue than the
annual River and Harbor bill.
