| WASHINGTON, October Fin the senate
after the reading of the journal, Mr. hel'
Logo offered a resolution calling on the
secretary of state for all papers on lille IN
his department, relating to the SEIZURE OF
one Vincenzo Rebello, an Italian, in the
CITY of New Orleans, in June, 1881, by one
James Mooney, and also all papers relating

cenzo Rebello.
lie over for one day under the rule. 1t
should, he thought. be addressed
to the president, as it might include
in its provisions some diplomatic papers
between the two governments. The resolu-
tion was laid over Edmuuds then called up
his resolution for continuing the present
session the standing committees of the SEN
ate as constituted at the last session.
Garland hoped the resolution would not
be pressed until some communication
should have been received from the presl-
dent lie thought there was no nece slty l9r
Amounting any committees, as there would
be nothing for half of them to do, and they
could only live during the lifetime of the
session. He was utterly indifferent as 70
whether the committees were divided or
not, but he thought that for the purposes
of this session only such committees should
be appointed as there was work to be Done,
Edmunds stated that it was the lnVarlaoie
practice to bring in q resolution similar to
The one he had submitted. He was not
llnmindful of the fact that the new political
strength of this body was in the neighbor-
hood of an eauipoise or Whereabouts, but ne
thought that for the purpose fdisposlng OF
the matter Justly this resolution should be
adopted.
