SPECIAL BY TELEGRAPH TO THE RzoonD-unosl

WASHINGTON, October 12th.-In the senateto-day,
Kellogg offered resouti calling the Secretary
of State for all papers file in his Department in
relation to sezing Vcenzo Rebello, an Italian,
in New Orleans, in June, 1881, by one James
Mooney also papers relating to the subsequent ex-
tradition of Rebello.
Edmunds asked that the resolution lie over one
day under the rule. 1t should, he thought be adj

Executive SessiOn-Caucuses.
WASHINGTON, October 12th-In the executive
session of the Senate, no business was transacted
other than to lay communications received from
the President upon the table to await reference to
appropriate committees when organized. Both the
Democrats and Republicans met in caucus and or.
ganized this afternoon. The Democrats discussed
the committee question, and without agreeing on
any definite plan of apportionment merely decided
to oppose the adoption OF Edmunds resolution. The
Republicans remained in session but short time.
discussing the general situation, and took no de-
cided action any particular question.
The Presidency of the Senate.
WASHINGTON. October 12th.-The talk in the Re-
publican caucus, and BY Republican Senators out.
side the caucus is not generally favorable to the
rIt..
the Senate, and thus displace Bayard The Repub-
lcans appreciate the fact that they would be CON-
PEELED to elect Davis without any pledge from HIM
as to how he would vote party questions, and
prominent Republican Senators say he would as
likely vote with the Democrats as with the Repub-
licans on such questions. A Republican Senator
said this morning that he preferred Bayard to Davis
because he knew just what to expect from Bayard.
That if President Arthur should die, Bayard would
naturally employ all the powers of his office while
acting President to elect Democratic President OF
the United States, and thus would unite the Repub-
lican party but Davis would probably adopt mid
die or independent course which might not help the
Republican party. This Senator said the Republi-
cans had no authoritative information whether
Davis would accept the nomination or not,
he vote against himself, and thus defeat the move
ment, it would be embarrassing. He expressed
himself in favor of letting Bayard alone until the
Republicans can elect one of their number. Bay
ard has said that if the Republicans nominate
Davis he will move to elect him. and thus put him
under as much obligation to the Democrats for his
position as to the Republicans. Davis has informed
Senator in friendly conversation, most positively
that he would not consent to the use OF his name,
and that he will vote against any proposition to
change the presiding officer. 1t is more than prob
able that no effort will be made this session to dis
place Bayard. The Republican Senators are desir-
Gus of early adjournment, and will not be likely
to consume time in fighting the presiding Off
Ger, unless they have show of electing Republi-
can Neither party has positively decided anything
about the election Of Secretary regular COM
mittees. The indications are that only such as are
necessary will be created, though the Republicans
will all support Edmunds resolution, and should
Davis vote for it, it win be adopted
NEW YORK. October 12th.-The Times and Trib-
une favor the suggestion to elect Davis President
of the Senate The Tribune says Ii it is true, as
Judge Davis will not deny that the present situa-
ton places the peace Of the country in peril by in.
fllluS any FtChitoS W ttle
administration through the use of pistol it is the
duty of the Senate to end that state of things.
Cabinet Gossip.
WASHINGTON, October 12th-In consequence of an
earnest appeal Postmaster-General James is to re-
main in the Cabinet until after the star route trials
II is not improbable that Window may hold until
December; also, that when James goes Arthur can
succeed Window by New Yorker. Unless James
goes now, the President will feel obliged to choose
WINDOWS successor outside of New York.
