Confirmed.
NOMINEES TO FILL THE VACANCIES.


GNcct0t 70 ae hegSS'9'
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Senate ad-
journed sine die to-day leaving eleven
nominations made BY President Cleveland
Enacted upon. Among those was the noml-
nation of John T. McGraw to be Collector
of Internal Revenue for the State OF West
Virginia. After tavorably disposing Of the
nomination of Pearson to be postmaster at
New York and a number Of other appoint
ments the nominations for Collectors OF In
ternsl Revenue and Consular appointments
was reached. The first one was that OF
John Oscar Henderson, of Kokomo, Ind,
to be Collector of Internal Revenue. Sena-
tor Harrison arose and appealed to Demo
cratic Senators to allow these nominations
to 90 over without prejudice. The
Republican Senators Protested
against being compelled to vote upon these
nominations in their present condition.
The Republicans expressed their entire
willingness that the President should re-
move and appoint to office whoever he
pleased in cases that did not involve these
officers holding positions under the tenure
OF office act where the said officers held un-
expired commissions for given psrlod.
But the Republican Senators were unwilling
TO be plscad in the attitude OF voting and
nomination which involved the turning out
OF office by one of their own friends. They
protesteda gsinst being compelled to vote to
iii vacancy, which vote would cause re-
moval. This being the feeling on the Re
publican side the Democrats without press
lug the matter at all agreed to motion to
adjourn
Sine Die,
leaving a number Of nominations such as
collectors of internal revenue, postmsstsrs
and consular appointments unacsed upon.
AL these appointments 60 over, however,
with the understanding that the appoint
ments made by the President will 60 into
effect without the Senate taking any ad-
verse action. The West Virginia Senators
did not press the case of McGrsw, and 1t
was not called up for consideration at all.
They allowed it to go over without being
acted upon. The Finance Committee, how
ever, had made q favorable report in this
case but under the general understanding
it was thought best not to press it. The
President will at once proceed to remove
the officials for which successors have been
nominated and commits sion the respective
Nominees to Fill the Vacancies.
Senator Kenua will leave for home to-
morrow night.
Senator Camden will remain here until
Saturday.
Frank Waterman, Secretary to Senator
Camden, is suffering from an attack OF pen

rest of John l., Sullivan, Dominick McCaf-
