There May OF be More Than One or
Two Executive Sessio ms of the Sem
ate-Mr. Hanchett's Nomination
VIII Not be Confirmed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S-''No event of the
future can be more certain than that the
treaty with Hawaii will not be ratified by
this congress. at least, and that Mr. Han
chett's nomination to the place made va
cant by the promotion of Justice jackson
will not be confirmed" So spoke a prom
inent democratic member of the senate
judiciary committee this morning. This
condition of affairs is admitted by the
other side, a leading republican member of
the judiciary committee, saying to-day
that the republicans had no hope of the
confirmation of Mr.. Hanchett's nomination
and that they had some time ago abandon
ed any idea of getting final cotton on the
treaty. One man can defeat both propo-
sitions at this stage of the proceedings of
the senate, and all efforts to prevent it
would be futile.
Executive sessions will be rare from this
time on. although there may be one or two
very short ones. There are q number of
army and navy promotions that remain
Enacted upon, and as these come within
the line of routine business the democrats
will not oppose them, but any attempt to
force the other matters to the front will
meet with prompt and organized opposi-
ton from the democrats.
The calendar of the foreign relations
committee has been cleared up entirely,
the only rebuff that committee having met
with being the rejection of the nomination
of Mr.. Findlsy as arbitrator on the part of
this government in the matter of the Chill
ian claims. . :
Upon the calendar of the judiciary com
mittee there is but little that has been I'M
acted upon, the most important nomination
being that of one of the Utah judges. The
Hsnehett nomination lie not yet before that
committee, and cannot be ssnt there until
an executive session is held 80 that It may
