WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
.cIect Daniel visited the President to-day
10 urge the claims Of Mr.. Tucker to DO
Solicitor General.
Mr.. Croxton said this morning
"You saw how the vote was yesterday
in the House Oh concurring in the Sem
ate amendment 10 the legislative bill as
regards senators private clerks. Well,
we ought TO have YIELDED that point,
x,d, further THAI that, we should pro-
vide clerks for ourselves. 1t would
do as much a. snything to expc-
diie and improve our work here"
On the door, when the subject came up
on the report Of disagreement, MIR.
Wilson, Of West Ypgioia, moved to
instruct the House conferrees to recede
from the amendments, excepting the
senator's cl.iks. Colonel Cabell, one
OF the conierroes, opposed this action,
and favored further conference on all
these subjects. Mr. Wilson's motion
was withdrawn. The question then
turned On agreeing to two OF the
amendments Of the Senate, one OF them
providing for pay of the Senate clerks,
ON which the vote Was l43 to 80 in
favor Of receding The House insisted
on the remaining amendments, and the
same gentlemen were appointed con-
feITees.
Mr.. Tucker made some remarks this
Afternoon on the deficiency bill when 1t
was before the House on q report Of the
. conference committee.
The Charlotte public building bill
WAS referred in the House to-day to the
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, along with many other mes-
suIes Of the sort.
The Senate bill permitting John F.
Chamberlin, OF Washington City, to
erect a hotel on United States ground
,t Fortress Monroe, in the discretion OF
the Secretary Of War, was referred in
the House this morning to the Commit
tee on Military Affairs.
HUNG UP.
The appointment Of Marshal Boykin,
of South Carolina, is hung up in the
Senate. The term Of his predecessor
had not expired at the time of the sp-
pointment. Representative Perry, OF
that State, says that he knows no rea-
son why there should be delay. The
Senate is disposed to catch at every
thing, and refuses TO confirm promptly
nominations which are based on politi.
cal reasons alone. When the Demo-
Gratis had control Of the body they acted
more decenuy.
TEXAS FENCES.
II is said that all of the Texas dele
CATION in the House will be reelected
EXCEPT Governor Throckmorton and MIR.
Miller, who have declined renomina-
ton. A Lone-SJsr man says that the
people Of Judge Reagan's district will
return him because he talks so much,
md that the voters Of Judge GILBERT
sons will keep him because he talks
so little. CulbeItson is one of the ableSt
men in the House, but does not often
assert his capacity for legislation. With
his dark, long hair falling over his deep.
set eyes and shaggy eyebrows, and his
great inert frame In repose, he sits all
day long, except when some business
calls him to the Judiciary Committee
room. lie has q sly sense Of humor.
and not nfrequently makes observa-
tons of the Isciest character on men
and things. Dir. Culbertson is one Of
perhaps half dozen big lawyers in the
House Of Representatives,.
