Of tho Bcnate ollicerF and would insist that tho
Senate shal be controlled In Its acts by tho constt-
tutionat majority. Tho reports Of yesterday that
there was nI,y disposition among q good u1any
Of tho moro conservative scnatorsto break tho
present lcaiiock, or at lraEt to suspend
tho struggle long enough to have
Bomo executive sessions In order to confirm I'M
portAnt nominations, were based upon tho
statements of these SenltOrs themselves; hut
this conservative opinion wus overwhelmed By
tho voice Of tho larHc majority Of the CAUCUS.
