THIRD EDITION.


In the United States Senate on Friday,
Mr.. Riddleberger's resolution offered on
Thursday, to have the executive session of
the day held with open doors, was taken
up. Mr.. Harris made the point OF order
that the resolution proposed change OF
the rules and that proper notice of 1t had
not been given. The chair sustained the
pc mt and the resolution was laid on the
table. Mr. Sewell, from the Committee
on Pensions, presented the report in the
case of the vetoed bill granting pension to
Margaret D. Marchland, widow of Com
modore Marchland. The committee re-
peats its former report in the case and
recommends passage Of the bill over the
Presidents objections. Referred. A
number of bills on the calendar were con-
sidered under the five minutes rule.
Immediately after the doors were closed
an order was made, upon motion OF Sena
tor Ingalls,, that the public be excluded
from the upper corridors, Hobbies and
committee rooms which order was carried
into effect at once. This resulted in
closing the offices Of the Associated Press
and the Western Union and Baltimore
and Ohio Telegraph Companies and the
ejectment of all the reporters from their
quarters in the Senate wing of the Capt.

adverse report upon the nomination OF
Solicitor General John Goode was taken
up. Mr.. Riddleberger favored contrma-

vote was taken, and Mr.. Goode was re-
jected-25 TO 2S. The doors were then re-
opened and the Senate adjourned.
In the House, after great deal OF talk,
all the Presidents remaining vetoes of
private pension bills were taken from the
Speakers table and referred Mr. o Hara
of North Carolina, and Mr.. Morrill,, of
Kansas, submitted reports on the Presi-
dents messages vetoing bills granting
pensions to Mary Norman and S. W.
Harden, and they were ordered printed,
Mr.. Boutelle, OF Maine, asked unanimous
consent to take up and pass the Blair
Pension bill, but objection was made
from the Democratic sidc. The House
then resumed the consideration of the
General Deficiency bill, and the amend
ment giving to the employees of the
House and Senate one months extra pay
was agreed to on viva voce vote. The
opponents of the amendments secured a
roll call on the motion to reconsider and
lay on the table. The latter motion was
agreed to, so the amendment remains in
the bill. Pending further action the
House then took recess until O'Clock
The evening session was for the consider
