THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Senators Discussing that Rus
 sian Treaty.
NOMINATIONS BY THE PRESIDENT

Republican Senators Want to Have the
 lic-Treasury Places Filled Mir. Bayard
 Takes the Oath of Office.
 $ WAsHINGToN, April 4.-The Senate was in secret session ill the afternoon fot more than an hour and at the end of that time only few postmasters were given out as having been confirmed. This was, however, the most unimportant of the session. The Behring Sea correspondence and the cases of the two governments were submitted to the Senate but not read. The Russian treaty was then taken up and demanded the attention of Senators for some time.
 The recent criticisms of this treaty in the newspapers of the country have given the instrument something of a political tinge and the Senate is no nearer solu- tion of the question whether or not to re lease the injunction of secrecy than it was a week or ten days ago. The discussion hinged upon just what amount shall be made public.
 The treaty was originally negotiated by Mir. Bayard under Mir Cleveland's first term. The objections that have been aimed at the convention strike at clauses that were in the original document but which, it is said, do not now appear. Re publcans insist that the treaty as adopted shall be published along with the original text so that it shall appear exactly what was proposed and accepted. The Demo crats oppose this.
 No conclusion had been reached when the Senate adjourned. Efforts will con tinue to be made to dispose of the matter and release the injunction of secrecy. Both drafts ef the convention will be submitted and policy of mutual concession may finally dispose of the subject and permit the people to see just what the much dis cussed treaty does not contain, and how nearly correct are the reports that have been sent out concerning it.

 ''You are a liar!"
 "You are another" came back the reply, and then the two men clinched and fought. The Rev. Totheron also came for ward and said he wanted hand in the fight, but Pastor Scott and friends of the belligerents oy,ded themselves i'll and Averted further violence.
 The charges were once before heard by Dr. Totheron's congregation, and the pas tor was sustained. At that hearing Ingles had physical encounter with another member of the congregation, and was thrown from the church. He declares to day that he will take the charges to tho General Assembly.

 HAzELToN, Pa, April At has been definitely ascertained that there are yet three men in the Laurel Hill mine in which the accident happened yesterday They are Thomas Hudson, w. L. Trem- bath and Richard Williams. The latter is dead beyond doubt There is a faint possibility that the other two may be res cued alive. Although several of the men rescued yesterday afternoon are suffering from broken arms dislocated shoulders, and minor bruises, the injuries of none are considered dangerous.

 The search for the missing men is being pushed vigorously and it is expected that they will soon be found.
