When the doors were reopened, the

All cabinet nominations were con-
iirmed without debate and division,
and by unanimous vote Of the senate.
No other business was transacted. a
lively debate is looked for when Sem
ator Van Wyck's Backbone" resolu-
ton is reached for discussion and
action. Senator Teller feels an attack
has been made upon the integrity of
his own official action as member OF
the last administration, and has de-
clared his intention of making such Il
defense as will leave no doubt of the
propriety of the act in question or his
indignation. Senator Van Wyck Is
convinced that OH the other hand the
public interests demand an explana-
ton of the issuance of patents to the
"back bone" company. The subject
will probably come up Monday
