 Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, addressing the chair, said that he wished to decline to serve on the Finance committee. MT. Harris suggested that the usual method was to ask to be excused. MT. Sherman retorted that he saw no necessity for asking to be excused, as he positively declined to serve. This is probably the result of the fight, noted as taking place in the Republi- can caucus, over the fact that the Finance committee is too largely composed of eastern men. It is also said that Mir. Sherman is piqued because Senator Morrill, did not yield the chairmanship of the committee when he came back to the Senate from Hayes Cabi- net.
 MT: Ransom was excused from the Appro- pr1atlons committee at his own request. MT. Miller, of California, was excused from ser vice on the Naval committee, his place going to MT. Stanford.
 At 12:30 the Senate went into executive session and confirmed the nomination of S. Fairchild, of New York, to be assistant Sec retary of the Treasury and adjourned until Monday.
