WASHINGTON.
Miscellaneous News from the Ma
tiOnal Capital.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The Senate
has just gone into executive session.
The motion was made by Mr.. Dawes,
who in making it repudiated the idea
that by SO doing he and his asso-
ciates were giving up the fight over
Senate offices, which he considered
in its scope and character as pre-
senting a question of great impor.
tance to the future welfare of the
government, involving as it did the
right of the majority to rule.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The Presi-
dents attention having been called
to letter published this morning,
alleged to have been written by him
to Hon. J. A, Hubbell from Mentor,
August 23d, 1880, in which he says ::
"Please say to Brady that [ hope he
will give US all the assistance possi-
ble,'' stated there was not a line
in the letter that he would have
in the slightest objected to giving
to the public. That the Star route
contractors were neither mentioned
nor thought of. That it was simply
an expression of a hope that Brady,
citizen Of Indiana, who was reputed
to made an immense fortune in Bell
telephone stock, would respond, from
his ample means, in aid of his party
IN the life and death struggle then
going on IN his own State.

Flashes by Submarine Gable from

LONDON, May 3.-A dispatch from
Berlin to the Times says: While the

Mr.. Justin Mccarthy gave notice

LONDON, May 4.-The British war
sloop, Daterel, which was blown up
at Sandy Point, in the strait OF
Mayellon, probably carried a crew OF
$50 men, of whom it is feared lOO
are lost. The Times announces that
the officers and crew of the Daterel
numbered 1,056, all of whom perish
ed except IL.
Later advices from Montevide
state that the British sloop Daterel
was totally destroyed and sunk. An
explosion occurred in the forward
magazine, at 10 o'clock on the morn
ing of the Goth. It is supposed that
the boiler bursted and exploded the
magazine.

pa,,ort of Proceedings OF the SEX
Ate in extraordinary Session.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 4.-The
Vice President laid before the
Senate the unfinished business, being
the resolution for the election of the
Senate officers.
Mr.. Dawes took the floor and pro-
ceeded to give brief history of the
action of both sides of the Senate
upon the resolution. He said the
Senate had not been permitted to
express its own judgment. 1t had
been paralyzed. If the Senate could
be thus paralyzed by the desperate
opposition here, the govern>
ment, as whole, could be
blocked in it's functions in
the same way. He characterized
the opposition of the Democrats as
revolutionary, tending to weaken
and undermine the governm~ 1T. 1t
devolves upon the r publican p .rty
to maintain the Republican and rep
resentative government in this
country, and the Republican party
again accepts that responsib 'lty.
For himself, not speaking for others,
he declared that he would con-
tinue to the end of the contest for
that resolution, not for what it
contained, but because of the
principle involved in it, because it
was to determine whether or not the
Senate should perform its legitimate
functions. Mr.. Dawes said the Re-
publicans, while maintaining the
authority of the Senate, could not
omit to do it's duty elsewhere. There
fore, recognizing the necessity of
this, and believing the Republicans
would be strengthened by it, h.
would move that the Senate, for a
short time, address itself to other
business, never losing sight of the
principle they have been fighting for,
but coming back to it. In order t.
provide for the needs of the gov
ernment he moved to proceed to the
consideration of executive business.
Mr.. Beck called for the yeas and
nays.
Mr.. Pendleton requested Mr..
Dawes to withdraw his motion for a
moment.
Mr.. Dawes declined.
Mr.. Beck said he hardly thought
it decorous for Mr.. PendIeton to add
anything to Mr.. Dawes funeral ora
ton.
Mr.. Dawes retorted that he hoped
it would be a funeral grafton over
the opposition of Mr.. Beck and his
party to legitimate business.
The ayes and noes we're called, and
resulted in So ayes, and no negative
vote.
The Senate, accordingly, went into
executive session, and when the
doors were opened, at 4.2O p. M,
adjourned until Tomorrow.

until a comparatively recent period. have
been but little known to the world. Knox
