MR.. wEBB'S NOMINATION.
How 1t was Put Through the Senate
District Committee To-day.

There were six members of the Senate
committee on the affairs of the District Of
Columbia present at the meeting to-day,
and it is reported that five Of them
voted TO report favorably the nomina-
ton of VIM. B. Webb to succeed himself
as Commissioner Of the District Before
the nomination is reported, however,
the remaining members of the committee
are TO be seen and given an OPP
portunlty to express their views upon
It. The nomination has been
vigorously opposed by republicans webb
was was nominated as the republican mem
and it is expected that efforts will
De made to prevent report being
made to the Senate. 1t is understood
that Senator Riddleberger is Webb's cham
plon, and II he votes with the democrats the
absence OF one republican Senator may result
In forcing an executive session.
THE WAY 1T WAS DONE.
BY watching an opportunity when all those
who oppose Mr.. Webb's confirmation we're alb
sent from the meeting, those members of the
Senate District Committee who are
friendly to Mr.. Webb got his
nomination off the table, where it was sup
posed to be safely laid away, and decided to re-
port 1t favorably to the Senate. This
action is subject to the further consideration
OF those members who were absent, and whose
absence made it possible to get the matter of
the table,
MIR. Spooner had gone home sick, Mr.. Chase
was absent, and Mr.. Ingalls,, who at
tended the business part of the meeting,
went out before adjournment, leaving presnt
only Farwen and Riddleberger, of the republic
cans, and Harris. Daniel and Faulkner, demo-
cracts, all of whom, it has all along been
understood, favored Mr.. Webb's
confirmation. No one was present to object to
Whatever action they might propose, and they
not difficult to secure the action
they desired. It is understood, however,
that the matter has yet to be presented
to the absent members for their consideration,
and that they will most likely be able to present
the report being made to the Senate.

The Fflibustering Begun To-day May

Mr.. RASDALL's OPPONENTS pETKRxSrp 10 Krrs
Up THE rreHr UNTIL TIE rouRTn or NANCE,
II NECESSARY.

IL 10 not impossible that the flibusterine
begun to-day in the House may last until the
end OF the session, leaving the business Of
Congress where il now stands. The caucus
last night was failure. II was announced on
the start, IN the caucus that Mr.. Randall would
not refrain from pressing his measure IL 10
should happen that the majority Of the caucus
was opposed 10 IL. This rendered the caucus
useless. The ways and means men claim that
they still have q majority of the party
and that they could have . majority in caucus.
onui a caucus decision is rendered against
tnem they say they viii resort 30 all proper
means OF holding control Of the House against
a combination of Mr.. Randall's followers and
the repuohcans. In accordance with this posi-
ton they will hlibuster. not against consider
ing the revenue bill in the ordinary way bu
against the Randall resolution changing the
rules OF the House so to expedite a vote
They declare that the resolution shall never
pass the House, and that as long as il is pressed
they will continue 10 ilibuster, If it is until the
4th OF March.
Mr.. RANDALL's POWER IL THE House
Whatever may be true as 10 Mr.. Randall's
strength in the caucus there is no doubt about
his power in the House. He has a large ma
jority Of the House with him on every vote,
and IL all-powerful against everything but fili-
clustering, by which one man can block the
House, and which is an irresistible power in the
hands OF as large minority as the ways and
means committee controls. IL is the settled
determination of Mr.. Randall and the tobacco
men to continue pressing the resolution stead
Ny ON. III they can ever get direct vote on
the proposition the House is completely in
their hands and they will not be very quick to
yield anything TO Mr.. Mills
IT LOOKS LIKE An EXTRA SESSION.
This opens up the prospect Of bitter nght
until the Attn Of March, with most Of the inn
portant appropriation bills in an unfinished
state. This would remove all possibility OF
avoiding an extra session. IL the Randall reso-
luton is kept before the House. an extra session
must be called almost Immediately after adj

Gen Boynton in Cincinnati Gazette.
The EVENING STAR, which is ever mindful of
the Washington public, population which has
no means of protest except through the public
press. has just complely established a charge
that the Commissioners have been continuously
playing into the hands of favorites in the pur-
chase of real estate for District purposes. The
Commissioners, by way of sole reply, have
worked up bogus charge and supported it by
false testimony, to try and discredit The STAR
before the public. Thus they attempt to ter.
rorize all the channels through which the OPP
pressed and i'll used citizens can be heard. 1t
is clear that none of these officials will long be
the representatives Of a new and honest ad-
ministration.

plate glass with a photographed head in the
center, partly surrounded with delicate maple
leaves. The leaves are natural ones, dried and

paper is laid upon the picture till it is thor
