Conversational

WASHINGTON, May 2.-SENATE-The
unfinished business was laid before the
senate.
Senator Farley called attention to the
large number of nominations awaiting
action, and moved to go into executive
session. The people of his state, of all
parties, were appealing to the senate TO
consider important matters in which
they were directly interested. Petitions
were daily coming from California, ask
ing for the consideration of the Chinese
treaty.
i dabate ensued between Senators
Dawes and Farley, the Chinese question
receiving considerable attention,
Senator Beck said that the Republicans
had not dared TO go into executive SEES
sion, because of divisions in their party
on important nominations. He tainted
the Republicans with cOwardice.
Senator Salisbury denied the charge
made by Senator Dawes, that the Demo
cratic senators were responsible for the
delay in fransaciing the public business.
After reference To Riddleberger and that
bargain, he said he was not sure that the
administration could have One-half of
its nominations confirmed except for the
aid which il expected from the Demo
Gratis; but if this thing was kept up-if
the administration was TO aid in
strengthening the hands of Reputation
in the Southern States-he (Saulsbury)
would for one say unhesitatingly that
the administration was not worthy of
! his support.
