WASHINGTON. April 15.-Although
confidently expected by the Sena-
tors at the close Of yesterdays ses-
sion that they would be able to ad
Journ sine die to-day, the prospects
OF reaching the end are not so
bright this morning. The judicial
nominations sent in yesterday will
be reported to the Senate today
from the judiciary committee, which
approved them all at meetirg g this
morning, but single objection to
any one of them would prevent
confirmation today and send them
over until Monday. Other matters
Of business are in the same position
and consequently the question Ct
adjournment today lies entirely
within tie decision OF individual
Senator'S, which materially reduces
the chances Of winding up the bust
ness of the session today. The
President sent in few minor ap-
pOlntmentS today.

| motion to reconsider the vote agree
ing TO the resolution offered some

seat Mr.. Lodge obtained the fool
and offered the following resolu
ton;
"Resolved, That the Secretary o
| State be directed to inform the Sen
ate by whose authority the Ameri
: can flag was hauled down from th'
: Government building st Honolulu
on April 1st"
> Upon Mr.. Germans objection, th
resolution went over, with a.
amendment offered by Mr. Butle
to add the words:
