WASHINGTON. April a-The Senate has prsc-
tIcaiiy concluded its lebors. and is now watt
ing for an intimation from the President to
bring the extraordinary session to a close. All
idea OF passing upon the questions involved in
the appointment Of the three Senators from
the Northwest has been abandoned, and that
subject will be left for disposal at the next SEES
sion. The chief reason for this course is that
there 10 not q voting quorum in tho city at
present. 1t Is snid that on Tuesday or Wednes-
day the Senate will appoint n committee to
wait upon the President and ask whether he
has any further business to lay before the
body. 1t Is assumed by tho Senators generally
that the only really important matter that re-
mains to be communicated is the nomination
OF Judges Of the Court OF Appeals OF the Dis
trict OF Columbia. for unless this court Is filled
before the adjournment there Is likely to be q
deadlock in the District judicial business.

all OF tho foreign missions have been filled.

tions have yet been made to twenty OF these
important places. The list is: Argentine Re-
public. Bolivia. Brazil. China. Colombia.
