OSMAN,S SCHEME MISCARRIES.
The English Refuse to Walk Into His

SUAKIM, April 1.-The detachment Of cav
airy sent out by General Graham to ascertain
whether there was any truth in the reported
evacuation of Tamai by Osman Digma has
returned to General McNeil's zereba. The
commander states that Osman Digma has
circulated the reports of his withdrawal with
view to throwing the English off their
guard. He states that he made a thorough
reconnaissance and narrowly escaped falling
into the hands of the rebels. At first sight
it appeared deserted, but it proved that
hordes of Arabs are encamped back of it and
on the hills. The officer thinks Osman will
fight desperately. General Graham gave or
ders for Immediate preparations for an adj
vance in force at daybreak tomorrow from
General McNeiPs zereba. Work on the Sua-
kim-Berber railroad has been stopped because
of the close proximity of the rebels.

WAsHiNGToN, April Upon the receipt
of the dispatch announcing the burning of
Aspinwall by the revolutionists, Secretary
Whitney called upon Secretary Bayard to
define the treaty obligations of the United
States in the premises. An informal Cabi-
sideration of the subject. Secretaries Bayard,
Whitney and Manning and Attorney Cen
eral Garland were present. It was decided
that while the government has no responsible
ity for internal broils at Panama, the treaty
with Grenada guarantees free and uninterrup-
ted transit across the Isthmus. Secretary Whit
ney at the conclusion of the conference tele-
graphed Commodore Kane of the Galena and
Consul Adams at Panama for facts as to the
condition of the railroad and steamship
property and inquiring whether transit is
open. He also telegraphed orders to the COM
mandant of. the Brooklyn navy yard to gath
er all the available marines at the navy yard
with some Gatling guns and men to handle
them. Secretary Whitney also sent the fol-
lowing message tonight to J. B. Houston,
president of the Pacific Mail company at New
York:
1.-THE government proposes to have the transit
the shortest possible time. In order that your
company may avail itself of the advantages OF this
action few days delay Of your steamer to receive
the shipment of an armed force will De necessary
| How many men can you take?"
| Secretary Whitney does not believe the in
| reference of the United States will be re-
| quired, but says ample preparation has been
| made for the emergency.

Only Few Nominations Made
Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The President
sent the following nom nations to the Senate
to-day: A. Leo Knott, of Maryland, to be
second assistant postmaster, general. To be
postmasters- l.. Kenyon at North
field, VT; John A. Showalten at Latrobe,
Pa; John R. Raynsford at Montrose, Pa. :;
Macon Bonner at Washington, N. c.; Adel-
bert Shepherd at Waverly, Ia. Bayard S.
Gray at Portland, Ind; Thomas B. French
at Alexandria, La; Charles E. Cook at Nc
Pherson, Kan; G. Marion Moore at Pleasan-
ton, Kan.
A. Leo Knott was born in Baltimore, and
is now fifty-six years old. He was educated
at ST. Mary's college in Baltimore, and began
life as a teacher of classics. Later he became
successful lawyer, and for three terms of
four years each was prosecuting attorney for
the city of Baltimore In 1868 he repre-
scented the city of Baltimore in the State
legislature. He has been delegate to seve-
raj national Democratic conventions.
The nomination of General Joseph E.
Johnston to be commissioner of railroads
was favorably reported from the Senate Com
mittee on Railroads to-day. The report was
unanimous.
The nomination of Lewis McMullen to be
appraiser of Nav York has not been report
ed from the Senate Committee on Commerce,
there being no quorum at the meeting this
morning. There is an inclination among Re
publicans to make a contest over this no1nl-
nation, but the Republicans are not unani-
nous in this regard, many deeming it best
to make no ontest.except in case of remov-
ais without. cause from offices to which there
is term fixed by law. The Republicans of
the Senate went into caucus again upon this
subject. Information comes through private
channels to Senators that the President does
not intend to make removals from offices
which have fixed terms.

OPPOSITION TO PEA RSON.
Senator Beck Said TO be Charging His
Guns.

WASHINGTON, April dark clouds ap
pear to be gathered around the nomination
of Henry G.. Pearson to be postmaster at
New York. Senator Beck is opposed to his
confirmation and Beck's friends claim that
he has formidable following. The senior
Senator from the blue grass region evidently
means business, as he says he will vote
against Pearson if it's his last. The opposi-
ton, however, while it may cause delay, can
not defeat Pearson's confirmation. On nc
count of this expected outbreak
in the Democratic ranks Republican
Senators are disposed to be- very
conservative in the matter of confirming
nominations, and beyond res sting the dis
placement Of good officers with 6xed terms,
it is not thought they will in any way delay
prompt action on nominations. 1t Is possi-

ACTION ON NOMINATIONS.
ACIEUN UN NUWlN AIIUNS
The Republican senator's Agree ON

The Republican Senators Agree on al
Plan of Action.
WASHINGTON, April IAN understanding
has been reached by the Republican Senators
to continue in session tomorrow until an
the pending nominations are laid before the
Senate. The scheme agreed upon is to con-
firm ali nominations not objected to and to
lay aside until December all those to which
objections are raised. 1t is also the under
standing that should General Grant die be-
fore noon tomorrow the Senate will adjourn
out of respect to his memory and proceed to
carry out the above programme on Friday.
After the adjournment of the Senate this
afternoon members of the majority fingered
in the chamber but short time. Before 2
O'Clock they had nearly all assembled in the
room of the Judiciary committee, Mr.. Ed
munds chairman. The doorkeeper, according
to instructions, remained at his post, but an
additional guard was summoned who under
directions placed himself at the entrance of
the corridor leading to the committee room,
permitting no one to enter that part of the
building. To insure security the conductor of
the elevator was directed not to run his car to
the lower floor where the Judiciary room is
situated, or, If he did SO, not to allow anyone
except United States Senators to leave the
car on that landing. 1t was in this manner
that the subject of confirmation was again
discussed with view of reaching some def
mite plan of action to be fol
lowed upon the nominations of the
President now pending and those expected.
The views expressed did not differ materially
from those of former conferences. A
jority of those present appeared to be quite
well satisfied with the nominations made
thus far and do not intimate any desire to
antagonize the executive in what they term
his E'good work" The point has been
made that should the Senate reject any
of the nominations now pending the
country would be sure to uphold
the President and take the ground ''that he
was doing well enough until the Senate de
clared war upon him" AS yet no nomina
lions covered by the tenure of office act have
been made and it can be stated authorita-
lively that the President does not conten
plate making removals from offices which
have fixed terms. The Republican Senators,
should this be done, would as result of
their conference feel obliged to resist
firmation unless it could be shown that the
incumbent was removed for cause.
