but final action was not taken. TIE SEN

an hour. during which time a couple OF
United States consuls and TWO post
masters were confirmed.
When the nomination of Mr.. McComas
was called up a rather stormy time en-
sued. 1t has been claimed that both Sen
ators German and Gibson, Of Maryland
would offer no objection to the confrmA-
ton. but this Is not borne out by the
proceedings of this session, when, 1t Is
said. Mr. German declared himself against
the confirmation. Mr.. Voorhees, is equally
well grounded in his opposition. The de-
hate was quite lively for time. and
number of Democi attic senators ad-
mitted that the situation had resolved IT.

closing days OF the lest administration

TRIAL OF THE BANCROFT.
Tho Preparatory Speed Tests Produce
Pleasing Results.

NEWPORT, r. l., Jan. 2l.-The prac-
tice cruiser Bancroft was given her pre-
paratory speed trials over the mile-course
this Afternoon, and the results were pleas
ing. She IS the first ship TO be tried under
chief Engineers Melville's method, which
is now acknowledged 10 the most perfect
one for arriving at the speed OF vessel
In short, II is a plan to standardize the
propeller wheel, and thus make out OF "

on Tuesday she will start on her speed
trial proper-a few hours run, probably,
down the sound-and thence continue TO
Tllzabethport for completion. Naval
officers speak highly Of the vessel. Her
engines are compact and serVceaoie'
while the ship itself is well and fineiy
built. She has already proved fine Ice
boat. and Is believed 10 be most sea-
worthy for one of her size. To-day a
forced draught was not used at ALL ana
frequently the bleeder had to be used 10
reduce the pressure while running. seven
knots was the speed made with 96 turns
per minute against a calculated 81 turns;
nine knots with 12j turns. against a l26;
and II knots with 160 turns, against Isl.
These figures give evidence OF the screw
being more effective and having less slip
than usual Twelve knots and full speet
will be run on Monday IL the weather
permits. All are quite confident that on
her four-hour run she will develop fourteen
knots II not more.

EFFECT OF THE SWEEP.
VERY HARD TO GET All OF THE
CERTIFICATES or ELECTION.
Those That Have Been Received Are Sent
and Prepared In Many Cases ins
Most Irregular Manner.

WASHINGTON, Jan. n.-The certih.
Gates OF all the States Of the votes cast
for President ard Vice-President ought 10
be in the hands OF the president Of sha
Senate by Monday next. As a matter OF
fact. fourteen States have failed so far to
comply with the law by sending on their
electoral certificates by a messenger. and
many OF those States which have com.
plied with the law have done so In so slip-
shod a manner that II the late election
had been in any way close, the onclal
ascertainment Of the result uLder the
Constitution and laws might have been
made almost impossible, and the whole
Government would have been thrown Into
chaos.
one OF the first things TO be noted 10
that many OF the messengers purporting
to bring on the action OF the States have
come utterly unproyided with credentials.
Kansas was one of the most conspicuous
offenders In this respect. The eminent
Populist delegated TO bring on the vote
of the bleeding State was presented to
the President Of the Senate by Senator
PETER, Congressman Jerry Simpson and
one OF his colleagues, who vouched for
him, but their voucher, In the absence OK
the slightest scrap OF writing from the
electoral college, was not the kind OF
voucher that the Treasury Department
required, I'm order TO give him his mileage
and per diem for bringing on the vote.
AS Senator PETER finally and sorrowfully
said: "The only thing left for US Is TO
pay his way back to Kansas ourselves.
and trust to the State TO reimburse u.s.
This Is not the only case OF the kind.
Many OF the packages brought by the
messengers have had nothing on the out
side TO indicate their contents. Two
| States sent their votes 20 the President
| of the United States, instead OF the presl-
| dent OF the Senate, and Idaho sent her
vote to the Secretary OF State. 1t was
| marvel Of good luck that none OF these
| packages were torn open. and thus rem
| dered invalid. Many States have failed TO
| indorse on the package what II contained.
Some messengers have been able TO say
| that there was sealed and endorsed
package inside the outer envelope. In
| that case, the president OF the Senate has
opened the outer casing and found
| duly certified package inside. In other
| cases the messengers have said they did
| not believe there was any sealed inner
| package, and In those instances the en-
| yelopes have been put in the Senate sate
and left untouched. They may contain
the electoral vote. or they may not.
The president of the Senate has only
the word Of the messengers to assure him
| that these packages actually contain the
votes Of the States as represented. Some
one might have changed packages on
| them.

The report heretofore has been delayed
by unwillingness on the part or the de-
