mOusly confirmed Senator Howell T..

Judicial District, vice John Baxter, de
ceased.
The President has withdrawn the nom
inatiOn of Orlando w. Powers, OF Michi-
gan. to be Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court of Utah.
In the executive session SO messages
making as many denominations, were
laid before the body. The nOmi-
nations were originally made to succeed
officials whom it was proposed TO sus-
pend or remove, but whose terms OF office
have since expired. Senator Edmunds
offered a resolution that all these nOmi-
nations be returned TO the President on
the ground that the failure Of the Senate
to confirm the original nominations had
the effect OF arejectlOn. The resolution
went over for the day. Among these
nominations was that Of John ID. Burnett,
whose nomination to succeed George NJ
Duskin, as District Attorney for the
Southern District Of Alabama, was the
occasion OF the recent political cOntro-
versy In the Senate.

beht Iehb OF strength.
WASHINGTON, April Fin the Senate
to-day, MIR. Riddleberger moved to take
up the resolution relating to considera-
tion OF Executive nominations in open
sessions.
After some debate Mr.. RIddleberger
called for the yeas and nays on his motion
TO take uD the resolution. The yeas and

defeat OF the motion to take up by vote
OF yeas to 81 nays. The Senators voting
in the affirmative were Messrs. Bowen,

the strength of the open session move
ment, inasmuch as many of its strongest
advocates, including Messrs. Platt,
Teller, Gibson and Mitchell, voted in the
negative.
Mr.. Logan submitted an addition to his
resolution relating TO open executive ses-
sions. The addition recites the Senate

PRUSSIA AND THE CHURCH.

Debate Begun on the Amended Eccle-
siastical Bill.
BERLIN, April 12.-Debate was begun
in the Upper House of the Prussian Diet
to-day on the amended ecclesiastical bill.
DIR. kopp, Bishop Of Fulda, said he was
grateful for the conciliatorY attitude OF
the government, but insisted that the bill
would not suffice to attain the objects de-
sired. He urged the adoption OF his pre-
viOus amendments as the basis OF
further agreement. Prince Bismarck
said that the government had not yet
arrived at a decision on the question:
He had already taken full responsibility
for the May laws as fighting laws. The
government had never intended that the
laws should be permanent. No loss OF
dignity would result to Emperor William
Catholic subjects. He Princei Bismarck J
thought that the time had arrived TO
abolish fighting laws. He preferred to
treat directly with the Pope because
be had found the Pope better disposed
toward Germany than the majority in the
Reichstag. He would not, he added. en-
ter into negotiations with the Centre
party until be had effected a complete
entente COTdidie with the Pope. In con-
clusiOn he asked the house 10 pass gov
ernment measure which he said would
enable the Ministry to secure a wider
basis for further negotiations. The gem
eral debate on the bill was then closed.
The separate clauses will be discussed
tomorrow.

MIR. morrison Introduces Now Bill in

WASHINGTON, April 12.-In the House
to-day Mr.. Morrison from the Committee
on Rules, reported a resolution for the
appointment of a select committee of
seven members. to be appointed by the
Speaker, to investigate the causes and ex-
tent OF the disturbed conditions now ex-
listing in the relations between railroad
corporations engaged in Interstate COM
merce, and their employees, IN the States
OF Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas.
and Texas. the committee shall have
power to send for persons and papers, to
SIT during sessions Of the House, and to
visit such places in those States as may
be necessary in order to facilitate the in
vestlgation. 1t shall report during the
present session with such recommends
tiOn as it may deem proper to make Mr..
Morrison stated that the bill which had
recently passed the House, known as the
arbitration bill, was inadequate in its
provisions. The object of the pending
resolution was to enable Congress to
iearn the facts of the case, so that it
might perfect its legislation.
Mr.. Reagan concluded that Congress
had no more power TO regulate the ques-
tions arising between common carriers
and their hired labOrers than questions
arising between common carriers and
their butchers or grOcers. These were
local questions. and the fact that one OF
the parties might be engaged in Interstate
commerce did not give Congress jurisdic-
tion over the other. The question was
whether the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives would deny and repudiate local
selt-government, or whether 1t would as
sumo that the States were no longer able
to execute their functions. The resO lu-
tiOn was adopted without division.
