WAsHINGToN, Feb. 2T.-It is believed
that the announcement by Judge Davis,
that he will resign the office of presi-
dent pro tenn. of the senate on next Sat
urday was prompted by the Information
from President Arthur that he does not
intend to convene the senate in special
session on the 9Th of March. 1t
is understood that the Democratic
senator will offer no opposition TO the
prompt election by the senate of Senator
Anthony, who filed The position from
1869 to 1878, and who was the choice of
the Republican caucus in 1891. He will
not he eligible for election to hold the
place during the recess, as his present

of the senate. Although no caucus has
yet been held on the subject the indica-
tons are that Edmunds will be chosen,
