WASHINGTON, April THE Senate not
being in session very little is being said
about the dead lock.
Halta dozen Democrats who went to
the Capitol this afternoon, including
Messn. Beck and Salisbury, say the
Democratic Senators are more determined
than ever, snd will maintain the 6ght till
next December II Necessary. Several Re.
publiCGns were seen, but they had little
TO say beyond that there was no change
as yet in their policy.
There are now two hundred and sixty.
five nominations awaiting action by the
Senate, and five treaties for consideration.
It was said to-day, with some show Of
trnth, ,tthAt the Republicans mGy some.
time next week go into executive session
for confirming important nomin.
atoms II enough Democrats will
vote with them TO do this promptly, but
should the Attemp! be made In Executive
Session to select certain men for con.
hrmation, the Democrats would probably
resist and insist on taking up the nomina
tions In their proper order. The Republi
important nominations II they could do
that and then resume their fight, but II
they 20 into Executive Session, one thing
they know, 1t will leave the Democrats the
advantage.

J. B, HSwley and Emery Storrs, OF Chi.
cIgo TO day made an argument before the
Commissioner OF Internal Revenue on
behalf OF the international bank Of that
city. It appears that the report rendered
the Department by the bank In relation to
ts capital subject to taxation, differed
materially from the report made the Chi.
cago Clearing House Association, and
made considerable difference In the taxes
which had been paid by the bank, and
which Commissioner Rlun considers
should have been paid. The gentlemen
admitted that there was balance due the
Government but the difference which ex.
lists between them and the Commissioner
is In regard 10 the amount. No conclusion
was reached.
The Russian Minister In full court dress
presented bis credentials to President
Garfield TO- day.

Gated, and will not indicate the course 10
be pursued until ready for lie publication.
