Por the Ed:fcetion of Secretary
Greshnn-A Full List of the Geor
eians Who Are Still on the Anxious
Seat.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-Only sixteen
senator's listened to the prayer Of the repub-
can hold-over chaplain to-day. Their
names can almost be counted on ones fin
gers. They were Messrs. hills, George,
voorhees,. Stockbridge, Dubois. Hunton,
Chandler, Bate, Hsnsbrough, Call, Irby,
Berry, Kyle, Roach, Brice and Hoar of
Massachusetts. Il may be noticeable that
Mr.. Hoar plays himself as a passive col
lateral whenever q benediction is about to
be uttered.
AS was foreshadowed in these kilograms
day or two ago, a resolution for adjourn
ment was offered at to-day's session. Seu-
stor Harris of Tennessee, a little man
who makes hay while other senators
hesitate, arose and offered the motion, and
then resumed his seat with sort of Nc
KinIey tin plate smile, as much as to say;
"How do you like itP'
The Georgia contingent has been REIN
forced by the reappsarance Of Basoom
Myrick, B. 81. Blackburn, Telfair Wetther
Of Savannah aud other Georgians who de-
sire to represent the government abroad.
Mr.. Myrick's cause is presumed to be
Speaker Crisp's, as ne represents the speak
er's home organ and has enjoyed the speak
ers influence and Endorsement. He
has been charged with snti-Cleveland
utterances during the campaign, ante-
dating Mr.. Cleveland's nomination at Chi
cago, but to refute th ese he has brought
along files of his paper for Mr.. Gresham to
read when the office-seaksrs are scarce. Mr..
Myrick is q thin, pale young man, with
high silk hat, and is not supposed TO be on
drinking terms with the department Of the
interior.
MILLEDGEvILLE's PosToFFICE.
The Milledgeville postofflce muddle is one
of the latest problems. The two senators
are agreed upon Capt Tom Newell. who
for many years has served on the governing
board of trustees for the asylum
for the insane. Capt. Newell
is q citizen Of Milledgeville and his business
is planting, his farms being mostly located
in Southwestern Georgia. The other candt-
dates are Chaunoy Wright, a merchant;
Lee Miller, q capitalist; Mr.. Morris. mer-
chant; Mr.. Fowler. the ex'postInaster; Guy
Mckinley and SO on.
DR.. Mark johnson, who says he hopes to
represent the Twentieth district in the next
state Senate. is here in Mr.. Wright's in~
terest and he swearS he is going TO make 1t
hotter than lime kiln for the opposition.
Mr. Cabaniss, the member from the
Sixth, is opposed to the two
senator's and TO Mr Newell,
and it remains to be determined whether
Mr.. Bissell will listen to hin or them. The
senator's claim thaG they . entitled to ad-
wise in the selection or lncumbents for
presidential postofticss, but the members,
including Mr.. CaoRnlss, are not disposed
TO concede this right and so the issue is
Joined and Mr.. Bissell will have to make
ruling.

oolouels as it is to-day. The meeting of the
Southern Press Association has fetched
