The Senate Offices.

STRONG REPUBLICAN PRESsURE TO MAKE CHANGES
The eX-state librarian OF Pennsylvania. Mr.
Delaney, was an applicant for the position Of
librarian OF the L. S. Senate. He had the backing
OF many prominent republicans OF his state, and 1t
was thought for time he would get 1t, as the place
is now held by Pennsylvania, MIR. Pierce. dem
ocrat, who was appointed at the time Of the dem
ocratic organization. Mr. Delaney has been ad-
vised, however, that Pennsylvania had been allotted
her share Of patronage under the secretary of the
Senate and for that reason the position could not
be given to him. There is strong pressure being
eXerted for places under the Senate The new Sec
retary and sergeant-at-arms are both being urged
to discharge democratic employees to make room for
republicans These officers, however, prefer to 60
Slow. They DO not care to impair the efficiency OF
the organization by putting in host Of green
employees. and, besides this consideration they do
not want to lay themselves liable to the charge OF
conducting their Offices on the extreme partisan
line. For every vacancy that occurs there are a
dozen or more applicants, and republican Senators
are besieged at every turn by anxious constituents
who think that, as the Senate 1s republican, DEM
Ocrats ought to be turned out and their places given
to republicans. The prevailing sentiment among
republican Senator'S is against sweeping changes,
but some of the Senators do not take this view and
they are going for everything that is in sight.

The O,Dounell Resolution.

OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE SAID TO HAVE
VISITED THE BRITISH MINISTER
The action OF Mr.. Hewitt with relation to the
O'Donnen resolution is still a favorite subject OF
discussion at the Capitol. The general opinion is
that Mr.. Hewitt will be forced to call upon the
House for an investigation. 1t is now said that he
is not the only implicated in the affair." 1t Is
said in several quarters that the night after the
adoption OF the resolution three members drove to
the British ministers and told him that the resolu-
ton was only political instrument TO secure the
irish vOte and 1t was not desired the part OF the
House that the British government should take
any notice Of 1t. This was telegraphed to MI
Gladstone, and prevented the British government
from pOstponing the execution, ast declared they
tention to postpone the execution from Monday to
Friday had it not been for this action ON the part
of Mr. Hewitt and the rest.
