 WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Republican, Senators in their caucus this morning favored continued resistance, and so another series of speeches became inevitable. The determina- tion was reached after an exhaustive inter- change of views and by vote substantially unanimous. The caucus discussed the sug- gested expediency of allowing the deadlock to be broken from time to time by executive sessions for tie confirmation of t1ticottestsd nominations, but 1t was decided that, at least for the present, this course would be unad- visible: When the Senate met Mr. Johnston, of Virginia, took the floor and began aspeech on politics in Virginia, showing up the rec ords made by Malone and Riddleberger. On the question of Virginia finances he quoted the State records to show where Malone and Riddleberger were ''as dumb as oysters" on questions where now they are ''as clamorous as crows" In fact nearly the whole speech was devoted to pointing out his colleagues inconsistencies. At the conclusion of his (Johnston's) speech MT. Salisbury reviewed the appeals that had been made to the Re- publicans to abatidon obstruction to public business, and added another in the name of party feaIty. He spoke in humorous way of Republican President with his hands tied by majority of those who should be his for hi oIxa fo r1rnoood tf the consideration of executive business. His motion to that effect was lost-ayes 24, nays 27. Mr. Jones, of Florida, denied the charge of Logan made Friday. that his State Flori- da) had been the scene of fraud and violence in elections Such reports had no founda- tion in fact, and had been spread as misrep resentations for party purposes. He sub- mitted part of the messa age of the Republ- can Governor of Florida to show that the Re- publicans we'll understood the patriotic and peaceful character of her people, and quoted from McCau1ey to show that though lying might for time avail it would sooner or later lead to disaster. After the conclusion of MT. Jones' speech dilatory motions fol- lowed until 4:4O p. m., when on motion of Mir. Dawes the Senate adjourned until F m. tomorrow.
 It has been finally decided that the remains of the late Senator Carpenter will leave this city for Milwaukee Friday morning next The Senatorial committee accompanying his remains will consist of Senators Cohkhhg, Logan, Jones of Florida, and Cockrell, to, gether with Senators Angus Cameron and Sawyer. The House committee will be com- posed of Representatives Carlisle, Lapham, Robeson and Tucker, together with the Wis consin members now in the city. MT. Pen dleton was expected to go, but i'll health and important private business will prevent. The members of these committees will not return before Wednesday of next week.
 Some of the Democratic Senators affect to l believe that the deadlock in the Senate will | be broken the latter part of the present week or the first part of next week. They think the Republicans will take advantage of the absence of the Senators who accompany Senator Carpenters remains to permit the l passage of motion to go into executive ses- 1 sion Should this prove to be the case, 1t IS believed that the transaction of executive | business will occupy so much time that when | it is all finished both parties will be glad to adjourn and go home, leaving the contest | over the election of officers to be decided ih !
