THE RECESS QUESTION.
A Compromise Proposed by Republican
Senators Rejected by tho Democrats.


The questions Of holiday recess and night
sessions are still unsettled in the Senate and
the probabilities are apparently favorable to
some little strife before an agreement il
reached. There was another caucus Of republi-
can Senators this morning and the situation
was discussed at length therein. II was finally
decided to make some concession to the demo-
Gratis. SO Senators Morrill, and Sherman were
selected as conferees the part OF the majority,
and they talked the matter over with
Senators Vest and Harris, who represented the
democracy. The republican proposition was to
to hold night sessions, commencing at p.m.,
and to adjourn for the holiday recess on Satur-
day next, the recess to end on January 2. To
these terms the democratic conferees would
not accede; they wanted a longer recess and no
night sessions. The republicans remained firm,
however, SO the conference came to naught.
CAUCUS OF DEMOCRATIC SENATORS
will be held this evening and at this the republi-
can compromise will be considered. 1t 10 ex-
pected that some definite conclusion will be ar
rived at which will be made known to the re-
publican eonferees tomorrow morning at a
meeting already arranged for that purpose.
THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS NO TIME FOR TARIFF

THE INAUGURATION.


The mail ut Inauguration headquarters was
- big a. usual this morning, and, in the alb
sence of Chairman Britton. Col. Swords strug-
gled through it. There was little news. Or
CARNATIONS are still reporting, bands are writ
ing for engagements, caterers are asking for
particulars about the supper. and some people
want definite information as to how much
it will cost them to come TO see the
Inauguration. Col Swords said to-day that he
had heard nothing from Mr.. Britton since that
gentleman left for Indianapolis, and did not
know when he would come here. Col. Swords
when asked il he knew when President-elect
Harrison was coming to Washington, said he
did not expect he would come here until the
Inauguration. Col. Swords has had a letter
from Mr.. Russell Harrison. who is now in New
York. He expects Mr.. Russell Harrison here
in day or two, and thinks that something
may be learned Of his fathers plans.
THE INAUGURAL PARADE.
Gen. Ordway, chairman of the committee on
military organizations, and who served four
years ago as chief of staff to the grand marshal.
in speaking to a STAR reporter to-day about
the inaugural parade, laughed about a sugges-
ton made that the route of the inaugural pro-
cession should be extended or varied SO as to
take in other streets than Pennsylvania avenue.
THAT is just what was done four years ago."
said Gen. Ordway; the very necessities Of the
case compel it." Gen. Ordway said that it was
problem four years ago to arrange the route
that the head could keep out Of the way Of the
tail. With q procession five or six miles long
the head begins to disband before the tail
moves. Four years ago the procession, after
reaching the White House, moved up Pennsyl-
vania avenue to the circle at Esd street, then
back eastward along K street to Connecticut
avenue, then out Connecticut avenue to Rhode
Island avenue and hence to Scott Circle, where
the organizations dispersed This length Of
route was necessary in order to dispose of
the procession. 1t was Gen. Ordway's expert
ence that there were comparatively few per-
sons then on other streets than Pennsylvania
avenue. IF there were a million people in
Washington" he said. "they would all attempt
to crowd upon Pennsylvania avenue"

SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.
An Attempt to Endorse Malone for
Cabinet Place Fails.

A conference of southern republicans was
held at the republican national league head
quarters last evening. Delegates representing
the various southern states, some Representa-
tives in the House, some active politicians
merely, were brought together by an invita-
ton from Mr.. Malone to meet and consider
the interest Of the south in connection with the
incoming republican administration. 1t is un-
derstood that the purpose was to endorse Mr..
Malone for appointment as the representative
OF the south in Mr.. Harrison's cabinet, but this
failed.
GREAT DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
upon this matter is said to have been mani
tested, and for a while there was q very lively
time in the conference. 1t was soon devel-
oped that the opposition to Mr.. Malone was
too strong to be overcome, and the idea Of
passing resolution indorsing him had to be
abandoned, A resolution was adopted instead
declaring that the south was entitled to repre-
sentation in the cabinet. and authorizing the
appointment of a committee of representative
southern republicans to communicate with the
leading republicans in the south, for the pur-
pose OF selecting some man upon whom they
could all unite to present to Mr.. Harrison
FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE CABINET.
They then adopted another resolution
recommending such a policy toward
the south as to secure fair count at elections.
to place the party on strong footing by put
ting the best men in the offices, and endorsing
the Blair bill and similar propositions. This
resolution concluded with a reiteration Of the
claim of the south to cabinet position.
There was a proposition to give Mr.. McComas
a complimentary vote for Speaker Of the
next House.
It'll expected that there will be a pretty
lively scramble le.ween the Mahonites and
anti-Mahone men for supremacy in southern
republican politics. and there is danger that
it may lead to some embarrassment to Mr..
Harrison

Some days after that meeting a member of
the board advised me of preference on

me that he had constituted to rights which no
one will question, and have nothing to say on

THE SCHOOL SITE INQUIRY.
The Passage of the Resolution May be
DELAYED.

Mr.. Hemphill. from the House District COM
mittee, to-day reported back to the House the
resolution offered by Mr.. Taulbee,
proposing an investigation Of the pur-
chase of sites for school houses and
other public buildings by the District
Commissioners. 1t appeared probable this
afternoon that there might still be considera-
BILE delay in authorizing an investigation. Mr.
Hemphill was informed in consultation with
the Speaker that the resolution could
not be considered out of its order except by
unanimous consent. Mr.. Hemphill stated
to STAR reporter that he would call
the resolution up tomorrow. II there is
objection to It then IL will have
to go over to the next District day in January.
The impression about the House to-day seemed
to be that there would be objection to consid-
ering the resolution on the part of members
who desire to delay or prevent an investigation
Mr.. Hemphill said to-day that he thought IL to
the interest of all concerned that the resolu-
ton should 60 through quickly.

large number Of interested parties on various

Gates. number Of school teachers were
present asking for readjustment of
the payroll and an increased appro-
priation. Representatives of the Young Wo-
mems Christian home and the reform school
also presented their claims. The question Of

and the contractor talked the matter over. The

man, was placed on trial in the Criminal Court

From Wall Street To-day.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The stock market was
even more circumscribed than usual of late
this morning, at least seven-eighths of the
business done being in a half-dozen stocks,
among which Reading, st. Paul and Lacka-
wanna were most prominent. The market
opened weak, the first sales being made at de-
clines from last evenings figures extending to
y per cent and these losses were supplemented
by further fractional declines in the early
trading. The market became extremely dull,
however, and the movement in prices was very
small, and later in the hour a reaction occurred
which brought the list again mp to the level of
the opening figures. No special feature Of any
kind marked the dealings, and at IL o'clock the
market was intensely dull and steady
