United STATES SENATE.
The Proceedings Of that RUdy Yes.
day.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.- After the
reading of the journal Mr.. Kellogg Of
fered a resolution calling on the Secre-
tary of State tor all papers on file in his
department relating to IT, 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 to the subsequent extra
dition of said Vincenzo Rebello.
Mr.. Edmunds asked that the resolu
tions lie over one day under the rules
1t should, he thought. be addressed to
the President, az it n,ght include in its
provision some diplomatic papers be-
tween the two governments. The reso-
lutiuns were laid over.
Mr.. EdmuIds then called up his res.
olution continuing for the present ses-
sion the standing committees Of the
session.
Mr.. Garland hoped that the resolu-
ton would not be pressed until some
communication had been received from
the President. There was no necessity
for appointing all the committees, as
there would be nothing for half of them
to do, and they could only live during
the lifetime Of this session. He was
utterly Indifferent as to whether the
committees were divided or not, but he
thought that for the purpose of this ses
sion only such committees should be
appointed as there were work for.
Dir. Elmunds stated that it was the
invariable practice to offer resolution
similar to the one he had submitted. He
was not unmindful of the fact that the
political strength of this body was in
the neighborhood Of an euuipoise--
there or thereabouts-but he thought
that for the purpose of disposing of the
executive business, and he hoDed it
could be disposed of by Saturday or
Monday, to 90 into the question of the
reorganization of the committee, on an
equality az to chairmanShips would be
a trivial work. However he would not
press his resolution at present.
A message was received from the
President transmitting number of
nominations.
Also u message containing a c.mmu-
ni"ation from the Secretary of Stale,
giving the text in both the English and
French languages, ofthe proceedings OF
the International Sanitary Conference,
held at Washington in the early part OF
1881.
The Senate then (at l2,20) went into
executive session.
When the doors were opened Mr..
Anthony presented joint resolution OF
the Providence II l., City Council, ,rela
tive to the death of Ambrose Il. Burn
side, and it was laid upon the table.
The Senate then (l2.4O) adjourned.
