1,S00 acres, and besides its well
known auriferous wealth in gravel
and quartz deposits, possesses an un-
rivalled water supply, its water rights

CONFIRMED.
Justice lamar OF the Supreme

Washington Special: Mr.. Lamar Is jus
tice al the United States supreme court, Mr..
Villas Is secretary Of the interior and Mr..
Dickinson Is postmaster general. And
there has never been any probability that
these three gentlemen would not be con
firmed. Mr.. Lamar wa confirmed by a
vote of 80 yeas to 2S nays. There were
but three Republicans senators wno voted
to confirm. These were Stewart Of Neyada
stanford OF California and Riddleberger oil
Virginia. The friends Of Lamar who have
had charge Of his caso in the senate say
that If it had been necessary TO prevent
defeat Mr.. Lamar would have received
more Republican votes. and that it was
never possible TO have prevented his con-
firmation. There are reasons to believe
that this statement is true
The senate vent into executive session

nomination OF Mr.. Lamar was hrst

The following senator's spoke at different
times
~ OPPOSITION
to confirmation: Edmunds, Erarts, ALI
son., Sherman, Eoar. Ingalls,, and Hawley.
This comprised al OF the Republican mem
hers OF the judiciary committee and the
presidential candidates on the Republican
eide. The latter, as they are currently
CHASED in the senate, are Sherman, Allison
and HawIey. The singular feature OF the
four-hour session was that the Democratic
nator sat silently in their seats. None
OF them urged the confirmation OF Lamar.
The Mississippi senators did not say a
word. One or two of the Democrats brief-
w---l :. TaVv nnasffana hnt nnna nj
them made a speech. The objections OF
the Republican senators were: Want OF
experience as a lawyer, and his political
record With especial reference to the issues
of the war. There were no personal OBJ
iections to him and it il stated that moth
ing was said that could have wounded the
susceptibiiities OF Mr.. Lamar had he been
