WASHINGTON, February 27.--It is believed
that the announcement by Judge Davis
that he will resign tho Office Of President
OF the Senate pro tempore at noon next
Saturday, was prompted by information
from President Arth2r, and that he does
not intend to convene the Senate in special
session on the 5th OF March. 1t is under
stood that the Democratic Senators will
cfler no opposition TO the prompt election
Of q Republican Senator as pro tempore.
Senator Anthony, who filled this position
from 1869 to 1878, and who was the choice
of the Republican caucus in 1881, will not
be eligible for election 10 hold the place
during the coming recess. as his present
term will expire with the legislative day
of March Sd. and he cannot De sworn in
sgain until the next meeting OF the Sen
ate. Although no caucus action has yet
been taken on the subject, the indications
ere that MI. Edmunds will be chosen PIES
ident pro tenn, and that other officers of the
Senate will bold their positions until De-
cember.

Judge Wylie will probably be called to
this matter tomorrow and measures taken
to ascertain the cause Of the delay on Wales
part to present himself where he can at

Approximate Estimate
when the pending case would be conclud-

all the haste possible. 1t was desirable
that the cases against Foreman Dickson and
the other indicted members of the last jury
should have a speedy hearing, and they
would follow the conclusion Of the present
trial. The same gentleman stated that de-
spite the ayowed intention Of ex-senator
Dorsey to testify in his own behalf, when
the time come he would not be allowed by
his lawyers to carry out this plan. The
prosecution would not want anything bet
ter for their side than to get Dorsey where
he would have TO answer certain questions
or commit perjury, end this the defense,
through counsel, would not permit. In.
