future welfare of the government, involving, as
it did, the right Of the majority to rule. The

FRIDAY, MAY g.
motion of Senator Harris for an executive
session of the senate to-day was voted down by
the republicans, which led to the impression
that the republicans were to resume the dead
lock. The democrats made motion to aiourn
but that was also voted down. Then Senator
Dawes moved to go into executive session,
which was carried unanimously. The action of
the republicans was to keep the control of the
business in their hands and assert their major
ity. The presidents action on the New York
nominations upset the republican plans, aud
they have not yet undertaken to rearrange
them. There is talk of fixing an early day for
adjournment, and senator said lie intended to
bring that subject up in the executive session.
All nominations reported from the committees
have been confirmed but about one hundred
remain for the cOmmittee's action
