SENATE-GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON.
IFRoM REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRTBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Mr. Platt somewhat
startled the senate to day.by introducing resolution
which passed will result in the consideration OF
nations in session instead Of heretofore behind
closed doors 1t would be something remarkable II that
resolution passed This is not the first time that an
attempt has been made to do away with the secret
session 1t has always failed, the resolution generally
having been stilcd in the Committee on Rules. The
fate will probably await il this time There can be
doubt but that the Democrats will sOidly oppose a
which would expose the Hypocrisy OF the Pres
idents Civil Service reform professions more than any
thing else Then, too, the old members on the Repuoh
can side will oppose IT, They will argue that it is against
all precedent. 1t would destroy one CT the Senate's
greatest privileges. The younger Republican Senators
therefore would alone bo left to SUPP port Mr. Patts
resolution, and they could not muster votes enough 10

confirm certain men whom 1t was considered EdVSao'o
to defeat Naturally enough theno Senators want 10
clear themselves. But how are they to DO IT, without
violating tho secrets of the executive session. One sen
