Auoshsr Fiery Debate Bcsweea
Mahene and Hit.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-The
current of leisurely debate in the
senate which, for seve raj days re.
Gently, has been running so low in
point of interest, indicating u near
approach to stagnancy, took a sud
den turn yesterday afternoon into
yeritable whirlpool of heated dis
cussion, with the effect of stirring
up party feeling and reviving per-
sopal animosiiy to an extent which
once more makes 1t impossible to
forecast the duration of the
present contest, but which
Will manifestly tend only
to increase Its stubb0rness. The
charges aud counter charges freely
made by both sides eliminated, as
might have been expected, In an
other exciting outbreak ofpersonal
denuuciation betwee Malone and
Hill, of Georgia. The prevalent
opinion ia that in this encounter
the little ViTginian gained decided.
" the advantage; but it is also re-
marked on every hand that scenes
or this character are becoming al
together too common In the United
States Senate.
A number of appointments to
important Federal positions have
been determined upon, which yet
remain O secret between the ap-
pointing power and the parties
chosen for the offices, because the
appointees have requested the Pres
ident not to send in their names
while the deadlock continues, /,
Among the nominations withheld
Tor this reason 1t is said that there
are those Of several ex.Senators,
who will get foreign missions.
