Senate Proceedings.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. Immediately
after reading the journal, Edmunds, rising to
question of the highest privilege, moved the
oath Of office be administered to Nelson W.
Aldrich, senator-elect from Rhode Island.
There being no objections the motion was
agreed to and Aldrich was sworn in. Ed
munds then made a similar motion in the
case of the senator-elect from New Jersey.
Senator Mcpherson interferred and stated
that he desired to present a petition praying
that such action be not taken. He had in his
hands communication from GER
tain members of the New York leg
islature alleging certain reasons why
Lapham and Miller were not entitled to seats
in the senate. With regard to these allega-
tions he knew nothing. He did not present
the petition with any desire to delay action
upon the administration of the oath. He
offered the petition, and would move to refer
it at the proper time to the appropriate com.
mittee.
Mr.. Edmunds said that the petition referred
to had no bearing upon the propriety of
swearing in the new senator's from New York.
He would not object to its reception at the
present time.
> The petition was received and laid upon the
table, and the oath of office administered to
the senator's from New York
A committee consisting of Pendleton and
Anthony, appointed by the president, to wait
upon the president and inform him that the
senate was ready to receive any communica-
ton that he might be pleased to send them,
and recess for half an hour was taken.
After the recess Senator Edmunds offered
resolution declaring the standing committees,
of the senate, as they were constituted at the
close of the last session of the senate, be con-
tiuued for the present session, and authorizing
the president pro tenn, to fill any vacancies
which may exist therein.
Senator Harris asked that the resolution lie
over one day under the rules. So ordered.
The committee appointed to wait upon the
president reported it had performed its duty
and the president had stated he would COM
municate in writing with the senate to-mor
row. Adjourned

Acquitted of the Charges Preferred
against Him-Dr. Thomas to Apposi TO
the Judicial Conference.
SYCAMORE, Ill, Oct. 11.-Dr, Thomas was

new testaments, was not sustained. All the
charges were sustained, as well as the second
and third specifications. In the third speclti
cation DR.. Thomas was charged with denying
the doctrine of atonement as taught in The
second and twelfth articles OF religion, and in
the third he was also charged of teaching the
theory of probation after death for those who
die in sin.
This verdict, which probably will not be
known by DR.. Thomas until morning, viii
be no surprise to him, for he anticipated it.

The unu The Moneu Goes.

The Washington Gazette makes the follow
ing remarkable statement concerning the con-
duct of the assistant secretary OF the navy:
Assistant Secretary French is notoriously
incompetent for the place he fills Then, too,
he has mystariously grown rich. Not long ago
there was a reunion of the French family at
Nahant, Mass. French was at Boston, which,
by rail, is but nine miles from Nahant. In
stead of taking the cars he telegraphed
to have the revenue cutter Woodbury..
then several hundred miles distant on the
coast of Maine, sail to Boston. On
arrival of the vessel he took sixty-four
of his friends on board and proceeded to Ma
hant. When the reunion was over, he and
his friends started to Boston by the same
means, and the cutter was ordered back to that
part of the coast of Maine from which she
came. The cutter's round trip cost the gov
ernment S2,250. not taking into consideration
the cost of stores, including wine, liquors,
cigars, ETC., consumed by French and his six
ty-four friends. President Arthur, while col
iector for the port of New York, discharged
subordinate official for using a government
tug, and paid what the illegal use of the tug
cost the government. French is a small cal
ibre lawyer.

BIG PHILADELPHIA FAILURE.

A Wholesale Pro vision House Established
121 Years ago Wrecked by Dabbling In
Grain Options-Liabilities Estimated at
One MilIiOn Dollars.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-THE announce
ment was made after board hours this after
noon that the firm of Washington, Batchers
& Sons, wholesale provision dealers, 146

rectness OF the announcement, and it

600. The firm, it was reported, had been en-
gagged in large speculations in grain, and it is
understood had long outstanding account
on the Chicago market. The report of the
failure created a decided sensation when it
reached the street, and it was decided that
this was one of the ruinous eff
fects of the grain corner, and Others
would speedily follow. A member of the firm
stated this evening the failure was The result
of speculations in wheat and corn in Chicago.
The principal losses will be in the East and
West and in Philadelphia among the banks.
The firm Will not suspend business, however.
The house of Washington, Batchcr q Sons was
established 121 years ago, and the ownership
has never departed from the hatcher family.

fendant Brady became second assistant post

GENERAL FOREIGN.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE morning Post says:
Immediately on being informed of the dispatch
of the Turkish mission to Egypt, Lord Gran
vile informed France he was willing to take
the initiative in proposal for joint action in
Egypt, and suggested an additional note be
addressed the porte, explaining the perfect
understanding existing between France and
England, and declaring, while both nations
fully recognized the porte's right of sover-
eighty, they would not tolerate any manifesto
tion likely TO endanger the influence and rights
enjoyed by the two powers in the financial ad-
ministration of Egypt. English and French
diplomatic agents at Cairo were also re-
quired to use their influence for fastening the
departure of the mission, and were informed,
if required, two iron clads would be sent to
Alexandria. The Paris Boursc publishes a
letter from General Sir Garnet Wolsley, in
which he says he earnestly trusts the channel
tunnel project may never be carried out, as he
feels its construction would be lasting source
of danger to England.
BERLIN, Oct. ia great sensation is

NOMINATIONS.

President Arthur has notified Republican
senators that he will not for the present make
any nominations except to fill vacancies of
minor importance. He did not think the
Senate session would last ten days, and If this
proves correct, he will not, under the tenure
of Office act, be required to make his nomina-
tions at this session, and he Will take until
the next session to consider all Dut nomlna-
tions to fill small places.
THE CABINET.
The impression among Republican senator's
is that the new cabinet will not be made up
completely when Secretary Window retires.
Even Western senator's admit that the treas
ury portfolio will go to New York.
LOGAN AND DAVIS.
Senator Logan says there is no truth in the
report that he will nominate Davis, OF Hi
nois, for president of the senate to dlsplace
Bayard. Logan intimated that he might vote
for Davis if somebody else should nominate
him.
1t is pretty certain that no attempt will ever
be made to question the right OF Senator Mil
Ter of New York, to his seat on the protest of
certain New York Democrats, presented by
Mcpherson to-day. Democratic senator's are
generally satisfied that Miller's election was
regular and fair and that no flaw can be found
in it. The protest will be carried next winter
to the committee on elections and will their
remain probably. The uncertainty of how
Davis of Illinois will vote make the Demo-
Gratis hesitate also about the election of secre-
tary If they were sure of his vote they
would no doubt press the election right now.
CABINET CONSULTATION.
The cabinet, all the members present, met
at 10 o'clock at the residence of Senator Jones,
in session about an hour and
quarter. The meeting was unimportant, the
time being devoted principally to an exchange
of views on political subjects. 1t is believed.
however, that cabinet changes were touched
upon, and that at least two retirements will
be announced whea the senate convenes to-
morrow, those of Secretary Window aud At
torney General MacVeagh.

Republicans, Tie RepudiatiOnists
New York World

While the Republicans of Minnesota nomi-
mated repudlatlonist ticket and ignored the
railroad bond question in their platform, pos
sibly with view to avoid offending Maho ne
and his friends of the Union League clab, the
Democrats have pronounced unequivocally
against reputation and in favor of the pay
ment of the bonds, and have emphasized
the declaration by recommending the
voters to support the present supreme court
judges, including Judge Clark, defeated in the
Republican convention for the offense of hon.
esty. North and South the Democrats oppose
reputation and repubiationists; North and
South Republicans support both. Perhaps
Judge Davis will deign to inform US whether
the education of the poor and lowly, and the
protection of the freedmen, form the issue of
paramount importance in Minnesota as well
as in Virginia.

THE STORY OF THE RECENT ARKAh-
SIS TRAIN ROBBERY.
Three Texas Boys In Love and Short OF
Money Plan the Robbery to Raise Stake
Upon Which to Marry--Charge that Their
Captors in Turn Stole the Money Se-

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 11.-Little Rock special:
The trio of train robbers, Cox, Delaney and
Monroe, were placed in the peniteatiary last
evening. They are in good spirits and take
their sentence coolly. All of them appear
like average country boys. Cox and Monroe
are printers, have worked in printing Office
at San Augustine, Texas, prior to the robbery.
Delaney in an interview relates the story of
the robbery in substance thus:
We are all Door boys and live at San Angus
tine. We have good relatives there and hope
they will never hear of our disgrace. All OF
us were in love and the girls loved us. We
had no money and did not see how we
could support them if we married
We were determined to get married and so
laid our plans to get money. We read about
the James boys in papers and books,
SAW HOW EASY 1T WAS TO ROB TRAIN
and get away, and decided to rob train. We
left home three weeks ago yesterday, coming
direct to Arkansas After robbing the train
we did not think we would be pursued. We
were going back home with our money, and
marry our girls and settle down. We had no
accomplices, and we planned the whole thlng
ourselves. We only got $1,000 or $4,000 in
cash from the express company, the balance
being in bank checks. Monroe and kept the
bulk of this, and all of it, with the exception
of few dollars, was
STOLEN BY THE MEN WHO CAPTURED US,
and 1 hope they will be sent to keep us
company. am sorry we failed to get away,
but we acted like a parcel of fools, after we
get the money and so we have no one to
blame but ourselves. c. c. Moore, one OF
the men who captured Monroe and Delaney,
says the report of the captors robbing the
robbers is untrue. He further says the
money was divided for safety, each person
agreeing to take proportlonate sum, aud
that they have already delivered to the express
company $3.50 of the money they took from
the robbers,
