Cleveland VIII Give No Reasons.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The president,
i'm conversation with a Republican senator,
said to-day:
Il arm led to believe that the majority OF
your body intend TO insist that shall give my
reasons for suspending an oiiceholder at the
time nominate his successor. / must in
form you that shall do nothing of the kind.
Nominations are made by and with the con-
sent of the senate. 1t is fitting in such cases
that the senate should have ali the informa-
tion they desire regarding the man whose
nomination they are asked to confirm, but
when they insist upon my reasons for making
removals they are usurping privilege that
belongs TO the executive alone, and their re-
quest will in every case be denied. That Is
the position | propose to take, and am ready
to abide the consequences.
AND THE SENATE WILL ASK NONE.
1t is reported that the finance committee
of the senate. at its meeting this morning.
determined upon a new form of inquiry TO
be sent to the heads of departments, TO elicit
information with respect to nominations
which may be under consideration. The
reason for making removals will not be
asked, but all the papers, relating both TO
tine appointment and the removal, will be
called for.

LONDON, Jan. 19.-Deputations ftom the
various branches of the Loyal and Patriotic
union waited on Lord Salisbury, the pre-
mier, to-day and urged stern enforce
ment OF the law accompanying any cOnceS-
sion granted to the NatOnalists by the gov
ernment, and stated that the Parnellites
utilized the existing local bodies of the
Land league to terroriZe the non-leaguers
in their respective districts The deputa-
ton cOntended that home rule would de-
stroy the trade and commerce of Ireland.
The manner of the deputatlOnS was some
what arrogant and dctatorial, as If they
had the public opinion OF Great Britain as
their backs. 1t was so offensive to Lord
Salisbury that he became restless during
the addresses. and instead of replying at
length and making political Grafton as
the country expected, no dismissed the
whole business with a snappv three minute
reply. In this he avoided politics entirely,
and declared that as the representative OF
the government he was there TO listen to
them and not 10 eXpound any policy. He
added, in dismissing them, that the govern
ment fully valued the Importance of the
painful and stringent facts presented and
said that the government would be found
faithful to its responsibilities. The Loyal
lists were greatly chagrined at the shortness
of Lord Salisbury's reply.
Lord Salisbury explained that it would
be Unseemly to unfold the governments
Irish policy two days before the meeting Of
parliament.
INDIGNANT AT GLADSTONE.
BELFAST, Jan. 19.-The LOyalists here
are indignant over Mr.. Gladstone's refusal
to receive the deputation of LOyalists from
this city. There is a marked revival Of
party feeling in the North of Ireland. The
Irish Loyalists are arranging for meetings
in the leading towns of England for the
purpose of obtaining support.
NEVER FAVORED SEPARATION.
1t is reported that Mr.. Gladstone, in re-
spOnse to urgent appeals from his party,
will take an early opportunity to deny that
he ever intended to propose the restoration
of the Irish parliament or any measure that
would tend to the separation of Ireland.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS

held two-hOurs' caucus this afternoon TO

pated issue between the senate and the ad-
ministration over the matter of information
about removals. Senators Harris. Maxey
and Vest. committee appointed last week
by Mr.. Beck. the chairman of the caucus, 10
consult with the president and members of
the cabinet about the matter. made their re-
port. stating the individual views of mem-
bers of the administration, but outlining no
definite policy of action. Individual sena-
tors expressed their individual opinions at
length, but no motion was made, and moth
ing occurred to indicate in any way the
opinion of a majority. Finally suggestion
was made that the subject be further dis
cussed after the Republican position had
been more clearly developed, and the eau
Gus adjourned subject to the call of the
chairman, with the understanding, how
ever that it should be called very soon,
possibly tomorrow.

n,seheA ous Mss wife.

Society people In Providence, X l.,
have been shocked during the past weak
over the rumor that the wife OF Walter
w. ComstOck had disappeared from her
home, leaving her husband Asd two
pretty children behind. Hcr husband is
very wealthy, prominent club man and
a representative OF one Of the leading
families OF Rhode Island.
A few years ago, while In Washington,
he met the daughter OF Colonel Forreyi
and six months later they were married,
the wedding being an elaborate affair.
In this city, Ars. Comsfock, who is about
twenty seven years Of age and blonde
moved In the best of society, and wa,
found a. all the leading events OF ths
season.
Three weeks ago she was missed, and j
now turns out that Mrs. Comstock, wher
she lcft her husbands house, went II
New York. She was followed by hel
husband, and the alleged discovery which
he made there resulted In his returning
TO this city and, going to mis- house, bar
red the doors and windows. The pas
week Mrs. Comstock returned TO Provl
dence, and, ID Is alleged, made an attemp
to get possession of her two children, wa
unsucceesful and then applied 10 th
Isupreme Court for divorce.
