SENATE MOVING SLOWLY.
It Intends Taking It's Time in
Confirming Appointments.
THE CAUCUS COMMITTEE.
Reorganization Of the Elective officers
Of the Upper House.
As Soon as This Is Done Every Nominal
ton Sent in VIII BE Confirmed
Exchanging Certificates of
Treaty Notifications.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-From action
today, it is evident the Senate intends
taking its time in the matter of confirm
ing appointments. 1t was supposed that
as soon as the committees were organized
nominations so far would receive prompt
action, and that an executive session
would be had today. At previous ses-
sion it was ordered that as soon as the
committees were appointed nominations
would be referred and those sent in by
the president up to date are now in the
hands of committees. These might have
been considered this morning in commit
tee and confirmed today, but the adjourn
ment of the Senate until Monday makes
it impossible for any officials named by
the president to assume their duties until
the middle of next week.
A prominent senator on the democratic
side this morning said: The Senate is not
in any great hurry to go into the business
OF confirming nominations, and intimated
that possibly they would wait until. the
election of officers of the Senate should
be recognized, If ii determined TO DO this,
at once, and as soon as this was done, he
said, the Senate would confirm every nom
znatIOn sent in up TO that time.

SARNA MISSING.
She Has Six Hundred Passengers
on Board.
NOW FIVE DAYS OVERDUE.
A Number OF Vessels Have Been Sent
on Search.
She Was Sighted 40 niles Northwest of
Halifax in Disabled Condition
and Since Then Nothing Has
Been Heard of Her.

HALIFAX, March 16.-The trans-Atlan-
tic steamer Sarnia, with 800 passengers
and valuable cargo, is five days overdue
and great alarm is felt for her safety. So
great is the anxiety that steamer is being
equipped to go out to look Tor her. All
day yesterday, the offices of the steam
ship company was beseiged by anxious
friends and relatives of passengers on the
steamer. tits thought by some that she
may have fallen in with the long overdue
steamer Naronic, and is towing tie missing
freighter into port. The agents, however,
are inclined to the belief that she has met
with an accident of some kind that neces-
STATED her lying to for repairs.
Anxiety for the welfare OF the Sarnia is
increased by reports of terrible storms,
each morning, vessels, being late. Late
reports state that the vessel was sighted
by the America in disabled condition,
about 140 miles northwest OF Halifax.
How much that position has changed
since then is what several steamers out
ward bound will try to ascertain. The
Alpha left yesterday for Bermuda. She
will make deGour eastward. The Star
Lunenborg sailed this afternoon in search
OF the Sarnia, and the government steamer
Newfeld left this evening.
The missing steamer hes 81 first class,
so second, and 500 third-class passengers,
and crew of 30 men.
