A Now Plan to Break the Senate
Deadlock.
Especial to the SENTINELI


ton could be brought only upon suspi-
cions, and that enough circumstantia evil
dence could not be adduced to secure con-
viction in a criminal suit, although a mere
recital Of the facts would be morally con-
to any one who chose to read it.
The only other method Of bringing those
who are involved to punishment, that
seems to have occurred to the Postofice
is through a Congressional
investigation. but the recent decision Of
the Supreme Court in the Kilborn case
would sustain Brady, Dorsey & Co. in de-
flying q Congressional committee.
The Deadlock.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-It is generally
conceded that the result of the expected
agreement of Republican Senators to allow
a few executive sessions to be held shortly,
will be, first, the ratification of the Chinese
treaties, and soon afterwards the confrma-
ton of substantially all the nominations to
which no formidable objection is made.
There will then stand in the way Of final
adjournment the contest over the pending
resolution for the election Of Senate officers,
and there will probably not be more than
six or eight contested nominations, such as
those Of Stanley Matthews, Don Pardee,
VIM. +. Chandler and Judge Robertson.
1t is now considered probable that some, at
least, of the Republican Senators opposed
to certain nominations, will desire to leave
them hung up until next winter, and there
are several Senators IN the Democratic side
ready to c.,ane forward with q sort of com-
promise proposition, which if adopted,
would nave that effect, and also end the
struggle over the Senate officers. They will
say to the Republicans: We have Joined
you in overcoming the deadlock on execu-
tive business, by agreeing to confirm unob-
jectionable nominations; now let us all
adopt the same course in regard to Senate
officers. Ridleberger and Gorham are as
Objectionable to us as Robertson and Math-
ews are to some of your side. We will not
permit you to force them upon us. Nom
mate unobjectioDable Republicans for Ser
geant-at-Arms and Secretary and we will
make no opposition to their election. You
can thus elect your officers, the Senate can
adjourn, and we will all go home. There
is no present probability that the Repub-
lican caucus would consent to any such
proposition for a change of candidates, but,
although this is ~undeniably true, it il by no
means Improbable that the contest will at
an early day be quietly allowed to 60 by
the board and DRIFT over to the next ses-
sion, together with the contested nomina-
tons; for upon the approach of hot weather
and after the bulk of the executive business
shall be disposed of, the Senate will I'M
doubtedly dwindle In numbers from day to
day. and as the total attendance diminishes
the chances of an accidental or intentional
absence OF some Republican, and a quickly
consequent adjournment eine die may be
confidently expected 20 Increase unsil some
day or othef the Adjournment .a.v abruptly
occur. 1a
A Plan to bring tsae Democrats to
Terms
NEW YORK, April 26.-speaking Of the
Senate deadlock, the Tribune's Washing
ton correspondent says q new plan to bring
the Democrats to terms has been preached
in the course Of . conversation with POUR
correspondent to-day. A Senator who is
in favor Of the plan described it as follows
1t would be perfectly in order for Garfield
to send a message. to the Senate, saying
that inasmuch as that body has not COM
pieted its organization SO that 1t can pro-
coed with the consideration Of executive
business, he has concluded to withdraw
all nominations now pending. This would
leave the Senate with no business before it
except the resolution to elect officers, and
the Democrats would be compelled either
to allow . vote to be taken upon that, or
take the suicidal step of moving to adj
journ sine die. After the Senate had ad-
journed the President could go on and
make appointments under the authority Of
the Constitution and the laws.
