 of Woodford, Penney, McDougal and Knox, | and they were confirmed unanimously. Soor | after they were disposed of the nomination of William B. Chandler for Solicitor General | of the United States was reached, and contra l ry to general expectation discussion at once opened upon it. Senator Blair made strong speech in his favor and Senator Rollins also spoke for him.. Thenomination was opposed by the Democrats solely on the ground Of his
 radical political views, which would ill be- come such an officer as it was proposed to make him.. A vote was reached about four o'clock and resulted in the rejection of the nomination by 24 to 19. Don Cameron voted with twenty-three Democrats Sena- GOT Mitchell did not vote and the nineteen avorable votes were of course from Repub- icans. The Senate then took up other nom
 nations, and at the end of an hour had dis
 posed of the executive business of the ses-
 Sion, the President having nothing more to communicate. After 5 o'clock Legislative
 business was disposed of as follows The
 OraEi6anf fha Of fha of
 State upon the case of Michael P. Boynton,
 stating that the case was not one
 to warrant government interference, but
 tt the Presidents suggestion the Senate ex-
 pressed desire that he should appeal to the
 oenevolence of the British government in
 3oynton's behalf. Boynton. who is alleged
 o be illegally confined in an English prison,
 been found never to have been a nat
 lralized citizen of the United States. Sena-
 GOT Logan offered resolution for the Com
 nittee on Military Affairs to investigate an Id
 report concerning the condition of the
 National Soldiers Home, District of Colunl-
 oia; adopted. No action was taken in regard
 o the election of a president pro tsnn. of the
 Senate. Senator Harris offered resolution
 .xpressing the appreciation and thanks of
 he Senate to Vice President Arthur for the
 courtesy, ability and impartiality with which
 le has presided over their deliberations
 this was unanimously adopted and at 5:2O D.

 The final adjournment of the Senate is a subject of general congratulation tonight
 Everywhere is heard the remark, ''Aren't you glad it's over." There were great crowds
 tt the Senate this morning, but the open
 .ession was disappointingly brief. The cor riders were crowded with office seekers still hopeful that the remaining expected batch of nominations would bring good news Sena- sor Bayards report that no nominations were
 O be sent in changed the current of anxiety md the fate of those in the hands of the Sen ste occupied all their thoughts. Added to uhis was the continuous inquiry of emerging ,enators as to whether the Senate would | dose it's labors to-day. Hopeful answers were almost universal early in the day, but | when the debate opened on Chandler's nomi- | nation the hope seemed to lag. By and by | aurrying pages rushed about in quest of mis- ! sing Senators and it was known that a vote | sas being taken. Then came the announce 1 nent of the only rejection of the session and | Ill knew that the end was near at hand. | committee reports were soon cleared away | and just in time for late dinner the Senate | opened it's doors, having disposed of all busi- Iess before it with the exception of Senator Oawes' resolution for the election of Senate Ifhcers. All were in too good humor to chaff | he Massachusetts Senator on what was so ong an issue of the session. but which had giv- sn place to moro necessary business. Az soon Is final adjournment was declared the Senator mingled promiscuously and most hearty con ,very hand. Vice President Arthur vas the recipient of many expres- ions of appreciation, not less genuine because less formal than the last reso- ution of the Senate. Never was he chamber more quickly cleared, however. 1t 8 quarter of o'clock not Senator was 0 be found at the Capitol and the north wing soon bore deserted look. The most fortunate Senators are hastening their prep srations of departure from the city, but ad- ournment being so near the end of the week will keep many of those living at distance ,ere until next week. Among those who cave the Capitol at once are Senator Dawes. collins, Anthony, D. Davis, Saulsbury. E Vance, Ransom, Jonas, Lamar Williams Joke, Merrill and Call. Mir Frye will re. E main for a few days. MT. Burnside expects 0 leave sometime tomorrow. Senator 1awley will stay until next week It is re- ported that his colleague Platt is suffering at nome from an internal abscess, and it is cared he will not be able to resume his place | n the Senate. MT. Bayard will not vacate lis residence on Massachusetts avenue at present.. Senators Groome and German ex- ,ect to spend sunday at home. Senator Ma lone will have business to detain him in the ity for some time. It is said, however, that has already departed. Senator Sherman has not yet made, arrangements to l esign his winter establishment on K street. ! senator Pendleton leaves as soon as he can | .et away. MT. Voorhees expects to go to lot Springs Monday night. He is suffering rom rheumatism. MT. Harrison will re- naiR only few days. Senator Ferry leaves lext Monday. Senators Sawyer, Cameron,
 # Wisconsin, and Conger go home without Ielay. Senator Kellogg will be here week or nore. MT. Jones, of Florida, goes home lext week. MT. Brown leaves Monday. Mir. sutler takes a trip before going home Sen- tors from beyond the Rockies have none of hem decided when they will start. Iu the midst of this Senatorial exodus many thoughts re turned toward the ex-Senators from New ft fork. Ex Senator Platt recently purchased 'ecretary Windom's former residence for a arge sum and now it is empty. Ex-Senator jonkling took time by the forelock and left dr. Jones, of Nevada, took an early lunch to- 1 ether and the latter aecompanied him to | lew York. They left on the ? o'clock train nd Vice President Arthur ~bade them good ,ye at the depot Conk.ing took with him F learly ali his personal effects as if he did not xpect to return very soon at least to Wash ngton. e rs,-s.r 5se.z-fsE s fl- sgF,t{ sV5 The extra session of the Senate had two months and r days duration. The Post umming up the session says 'sIn poiti-i al sense the session has been of lasting ben
 fit to the national Democracy. The coun- ry has seen Republican Senators supposed o represent the brains and influence of the ,arty failed in an attempt to consummate a orrupt political bargain. After having poeed or two months as defenders of the doctrine l # repudiation an internecine war has been 1 in the Republican ranks which hreatens to disrupt the party. In 8 busi- 'ess light little of conseqnence can be aid to have been accomplished. Stanley Matthews is confirmed in his appointment to he supreme bench and a number of minor 1 adicial, diplor.atic and civil service changes tieially endorsed represents the work done turing the session. Five Senators, Blaine, Vindom, Kirkwood, Conkling and Platt re- igned their seats FEs.s .fsgf.z .z fsf 2
