The Senate Confirms Cleveland's OBJ
jectiOnnbIe Appointments.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The Senate spent
the entire day, except few minutes in the
morning behind closed doors in the consid-
Grafton Of executive business. The greater
part of the day was devoted to the discus
sion of the alleged violation of the home
rule principle in the appointment of men as
Indian agents of one State who live In an
other. There were five of these cases, and
in each case a Republican had been re-
moved to make place for a Democrat. The
appointments were as follows: ". L. Har-
grave. of Indiana at Western Shoshone
agency, Nevada Isaac J. Waters, of Della
ware. at Nevada agency, Nevada;
Robert n. Allen, of Illinois, at White
Earth Mimi; James A. Smith, of
Mississippi. at Yankton, S. D.; Joseph Rob
inson, of Missouri, at Nez Perces, in
Idaho. The Senators of the various States
TO which these men had been appointed
took exceptions to the appointments and
merely expressed in the executive seS-
sion to-day the opinions they had given
cut very freely all occasions before
when the subject was under discussion.
They complained. as one man. of the vio-
lation of the home-rule doctrine, and called
attention to the fact that in making the
appointments the President had violated
the pledges OF ms So own i P party platform;
the States into which men had been i'm
ported for the purpose of filing the Offices
Democratic in politics, and asserted that
in making the appointments the President
was hardly treating his own party fairly in
those States. The first vote taken was
upon the confirmation or Allen, and he was
confirmed by a vote of % to Y while the
vote in the other cases stood 2f to % In
favor of confirmation.
After the Indian agencies were disposed
of the appointment of Henry W. Smith,
of Virginia, to be Chief Justice OF New Mex
leo was taken up and the same fight was
made upon him as upon the Indian agents,
except that IL was not 80 fierce or so long
drawn out He also was confirmed by
party vote.

Democratic Caucus Called.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The Democratic
members of Congress will meet in caucus
next Monday to consider the federal cleo
ton bill. The caucus is called to consider
certain amendments proposed to the bill,
but it's principal object will be to deter
mine whether Ii is part of the policy to
send the bill to the Senate pending a dis
position of the silver bill by that body.
Represer tative Tucker, author of the bill
now being discussed in the House, says
that the caucus was called for the purpose
of determining whether or not the Demo-
cratic party was earnestly in favor of the
repeal of the election laws, as demanded by
the platform. 1--WE are either in favor OF the
repeal or we are not said Mr.. Tucker,
"and we might as we'll find out just how
we stand. If Mr.. Fftchs bill is to be
adopted as the party measure II seems to
might as we'll abandon the fight.
If his bill incorporates all there is objec-
tionable, then we've got no cause. / am
pretty well satisfied, however, that the
caucus will make satisfactory declar-
alton on the subject"
Mr.. Tucker said the caucus would repre-
sent the friends of both measures (his own

Fitch bill. The vote on the bill and pend
ing amendments is to be taken at noon
