Senate-Ex ecutive Session.

06udt0-Gx 0CuClV0 SESSION.
WASHINGTON, March H.
After the reading of the journal, Mr. Ed
munds took the oath for his new term.
Mr.. johnson offered a resolution, which
was adopted, calling on the Attorney General
for copies of any reports made during the last
session of Congress to the department of Justice
relating to the conduct and operations of the
United States marshal and deputies, the dis
trict attorney and commissioner in the western
district Of Virginia.
Senator Pendleton stated that, owing to
clerical error, Sherman had been placed upon
the committee on judiciary, whereas it should
have been Allison, and correction was made.
MIR. Pendleton called up his resolution on the
formation of Senate committees.
Mr.. Davis of Illinois expressed his intention
to vote for the organization of the committees
proposed by the Democrats, but declined the
honor rendered him of the craftsmanship of the
Judiciary committee, and moved as substi-
tute Mr.. Garland of Alabama
The Vice President sustained a point of Or
der raised by Mr.. Conkling, that the resolution
for the reorganization of the Senate commit
tees was not now in order, which decision had
been appealed from Mr. Pendleton
At this point Ferry of Michigan asked Hill
question, and discussion, confined strictly
to the point of order, ensued between them.
until Hill made a remark that Ferry must
have been asleep during some period of yester-
terday's proceedings. Then Conkling entered
occurred between him and Hill.
In discussing the point of ORDER Mr.. Conk-
ling said it was proposed that on the Friday
precedin G the Tuesday when the Senate could
be full, to elect all of the committees of the
Senate for the present session. He did not think
the organization of the Senate should be tip
and-twitch affair to be famed in one way to-
day and in another tomorrow
Messrs. Hill of Georgia, Garland and Pen
dleton argued that the decision of the Vice
President should be overruled.
Before any vote was taken on the appeal
from the decision of the Vice President, but
after quite long discussion, the Senate at $50
went into executive session.
The executive session was almost wholly con-
sumed in an Intellectual attempt to reach agree
ment as to the fixing of the day when final
vote will be allowed to be taken without OBJ
struction on Democratic list of committees No
nominations were considered.
Finally it was agreed that the point of order
and appeal from the decision of the chair in
regard to the pending resolution should both
be Withdrawn and the resolution should be al
lowed to come before the Senate for considera-
ton upon its merits next Monday.
After adjournment the Republican Senators
met in caucus and decided to persist in oppos-
ing any election of Senate committees in ad-
vance of the arrival of the four incoming Re-
pubicans. The impression exists that the Re-
pubicads will be able to control the organiza-
ton of the Senate before the close of the pres
emf session

Proceedings in Parliament
LONDON, March lin the Commons this
afternoon John e. Gorst, Conservative, gave
notice that he would on Monday move for a
writ for an election at northampton in room of
Charles Bradlaugh.
Mr. Gladstone replying to a question, said
he believed that neither Evelyn Wood nor the
Beers proposed the armistice, but that Brand,
President of the Orange Free State, had done
so. The question of appointing a commission
err to examine into matters in dispute, he said,
is under consideration by the Government, but
that all rumors about peace negotiations are
either premature or groundless
Mr.. Harcourt moved the third reading of the
arms bill.
Mr.. Parnell moved its rejection.
This evening the arms bill was passed by a
vote of 236 to &c.
The details of the debate on the arms bill in
the House of Commons last night show that
after the Speaker had put the remaining
amendments in accordance with Mr.. Glad
stones resolution that they be put to vote
forthwith, William Harcourt, Home Secretary.
moved to recommit the bill in order to amend
clause one, by providing compensation for arms
voluntarily surrended.
MIR. Parnell moved an amendment proposing
to recommit the bill also in regard to clause S
in order to limit the operation of the bill to
June, 1884, but this amendment was negatived
by 20S to 81.
VIM. Harcourt's clause was agreed to.
