Washington, Jan. Is, 1886.
Congress, which began the last week
with a promise of steady work. ended it
by an indulgence In Il recess, having ad-
journed over from Friday until to-day.
While in session, however, some in
dustry marked its proceedings. The
House even held Il night session for the
purpose of considering minor measures
and also discussed and voted for the
succession bill, which makes cabinet
officers. one after the other, succeed to
the presidency in case of an emergency.
Tne senate listened to number of
long speeches on silver coinage and
other subjects, and confirmed several
hundred of the presidents nominations
IN its daily secret sessions.
There has been great deal of talk
about the friction between the president
aud senate in reyarl to removals and
appointments to office. But so far. the
republican senators have not become
very much excited in their search for
reasons for the suspension of federal
officials, and some of them hold that
the president has the right to suspend
arbitrarily. if he pleasts, and give no
reasons. There will be no open rupt-
ure without further developments
The republicans in tae House of Rep
resentatives are. as II rule, kiudly dis
posed towards President Cleveland, and
are in favor of giving him IL fair chance.
They expect to vote for liberal appro-
priations. particularly for the navy.
and for coast defcnces. They say they
will favor giving Secretary Whitney all
the money he needs to carry out his
plans for building up the Navy.
The recent action of the senate in or
dering that Ill nominations, confirm
ations, reflections and Withdrawals b.
published in the congressional record,
is regarded by some members OF that
body us the first step to IL final abolition
of secret sessions y short while ago

for secretly making charges and insin

On the other hand, many senators are
fond of the freedom of their secret ses
sions and would never agree to give
them up. They SHY the public sessions
