Senate Proceedi,,gs.

WASHINGTON, May 18.-In the Senate, Sem
ator Anthony, chairman of the committee on
printing, asked that the committee be dis
charged from further consideration of the
resolution charging the scope of the official
register. So ordered. Senator Burnside then
called up the resolution reported from the
committee on foreign relations, relative to
the inter- oceanic canals. He hoped the Senate
would act on the resolution at once. Senator
Ingalls, said lit was very clear to him that it
was not wise or expedient for the Senate, at
this period of its sitting to pass the resolution
on the subject referred to, especially on the
terms that were employed in the present res
OlutiOn.
After debate, the resolution was post
poned until the first Monday in December,
and the Senate considered the resolution Of
fered yesterday by Senator Saunders, directing
the committee on judiciary to inquire into
the relations of the Central Pacific to it's leased
lines and other corporations, and report at
the next session of Congress what is proper
and necessary to protect the interests of the
United States. The resolution was, on motion
of Senator Davis, of Illinois, laid on the table.
Senator Bayard offered a resolution for
appointing a committee of two Senators to
wait upon the President and inquire whether
he had any fu ther business to communicate
to the Senate. Adopted, and Senators Bayard
and Cameron, Pennsylvania, appointed as
such committee, and Immediately proceeded
to the executive mansion. The Senate took
recess for an hour.

named accepted personal check from pay
master Stevenson, in settlement of delin-
quency In his account aud issued certificate
that his accounts had been properly settled.
The paymaster was endeavoring to obtain pro.
motion at the time. The regulations require
before naval paymaster can be assigned TO a
new field of duty, he must show a certificate
from the Fourth auditors Office
that the last accounts under
his charge have been settled In accordance
with law. The acceptance of a personal check
in settlement as in this case is prohibited.
Consequently the transaction was irregular on
the part of the officers of the treasury, and
while the government sustains no loss the
secretary deemed it sufficient ground for
their removal. B. B. Davis, for the auditors
Office, will be appointed to succeed Moore.

New YORK, May 1S.-The first apparent
practical result from the protracted negotia.

connection with the Northern Pacific matters,
will take place at the meeting of the board of
directors of that company, to be held tomor.
row, when T. F. .Oakes and A. Fl. Holmes, as.
soeiates of Henry Willard, are to be elected
members of the board in the place of Johnston
Livingston and J. R. Dilworth, who left their
designations in the hands of Mr.. Billings just
previous to their recent departure for Europe
Mr.. Oakes is to be elected vice president, no
doubt with the idea of his taking in hand the
practical operation of the company, although
his office and residence will be in New York.
He will be remembered in the West for his
long connection with the Kansas Pacific, of
which he was for some years vice president
and general manager. Later as general super
intendent of about 600 miles of railroad in
southeastern Kansas known as the Jay Gould
system. During the last year and a half he
has had charge of the Oregon Navigation and
Oregon Improvement companies in Oregon,
the success of which eau be
fitly compared with the tales
from Aladdins wonderful lamp. He is a
very young man to have filled 80 many impor-
tant positions, being but 81 years of age. He
was born In Boston, but most of his business
life has been spent in the West. Hesis hap
py specimen of the Yankee and the Western
man. The Northern Pacific road is very for
tunate in securing his services, and predict a
very prosperous future for that road under his
vigorous and able management.

Senator Sessions followed and said: believe

choice of Robertson as collector of the port

not acceptable to few who assume to control,
a Republican Samson has sought to tear down

to be done. He has played boy in this matter,

He maintains that he was first attacked;
that he honestly supported Garfield and helped
elect him; that he did not on any occasion
vote under advice, or ask any favor; that on
every occasion he advised Garfield before and
after his election, he was invited by the latter
and that only when his advice was asked did
he give it; that he began by giving the ad-
ministration his hearty support and earnestly
desired Its success; that while he was doing
this, and when he believed all was to be
peace and harmony for the good of the Re-
publican party he has permitted himself to be
used by Secretary Blaine to break him (Conk-

ject of Robertson's nomination was to
crush Conkling; that he still bore all, protest
ing and pleading that the Republican party of
New York might not be disrupted at the in
stigation of Blaine, and finally, when bitter
and unprovoked war on him was continued,
he resigned and submitted his case and cauae
to his people. Conkling thus presented his
case to tried friend who has always stood

disadvantage. Conkling will 60 to New York

for him that some Democrats in the leglsla-
