JUDGE BEATTY CONFIRMED.
The confirmation by the Senate to-day Of
the nomination OF james H. Beatty to be
District Judge Of Idaho marks the teTmina-
tiOn in favor of the Administration of the
struggle lasting nearly one year which it
had with the Idaho Senators. Beatty was
nominated February 10th last in sDite Of
the protests of Senators ShOup and McCon-
nell, who sought to convince the President
that the nomination would not be accept
able to the people of Idaho. The opposi-
tlon was able to prevent action upon the
nomination during the few weeks that
remained Of the last session OF tile Eifty-frst
Congress. Three days after Congress ad-
journed, however, the President appointed
Beatty to The judgeshiD, and his nOmna-
tion was one of the first to be sent to the
Senate at the beginning of the present Con-
gress Again the Idaho Senators resumed
their opposition to the nomination. But
Tor nearly year Judge Beatty had been
dlschargng the functions Of his office in
Idaho and California His decisions have
been sustained whenever an appeal las
been taken to a superior tribunal, and it
was not possible to pick any flaws in his
Judicial career. These facts naturally had
the effect Of a favorable termination, and
the Senators soon found that several of
their Republican colleagues, who had been
changed their minds and determined to
support the President. A week ago ShOup
and Dubois realized they were defeated,
and after notifying the judiciary Commit
tee they had nothing TO retraCt, but did not
care to follow the matter further, they
abandoned the contest and the nomination
was confirmed to-day without any open 0p-
position.

THE WORLDS FAIR INVESTIGATION.
I'm HouSa dow Of fHayac
froCl the Committee on Appropriations re-
ported resolution providing for All inYesti-
CATION into the Worlds Columbian ExpOsi-
tion. The resolution is sweeping in its
terms and proposes that the inquiry into
the subject Of the expenditures to be made
extend To all the money raised for the fair,
both locally and by Congress. The Worlds
Fair people, however, promptly insisted,
through Representative Dur0OrOw Of Hi
nOls, IN reporting the resolution passed by
the Worlds Fair Committee providing for
an investigation by that committee into the
management and expenditures for the year.
The investigation into the matter Of the ex-
Deuditures for the fair is, however, re-
StTlcted to the money appropriated by the
Federal Government. The contest between
the two committees for juri sdction prom
ises to be bitter when the res0lu tions are
called up in the House.
