The nomination of Mr.. Eckles to be
comptroller of currency was reported
favorably in the senate yesterday but
confirmation did not follow, IL going over
for day under the rules, there being an
objection to its present confederation.
The Democratic majority in the senate
decided yesterday that whatever business

done behind closed doors. Senators Hoar
and Chandler, with a solid array of Re-
publican senators behind them, resisted
the motion in vain.

Senator German called upon the presi-
dent yestere ~ to discuss with him the
question of the adjournment of the pres
ent extraordinary session of the senate.
Mr.. Cleveland told him that he had sew
eral nominations which he desired to have
considered by the senate, and that he
hoped to be able to get them all in by tho
end of this or early next week.
It is possible that various nominations
will fail of action, in which case, it is said,
the president will reappoint during the
recess, subject to confirmation hereafter.
1t is believed that the president prefers
Withholding certain contemplated nomi-
nations for federal positions in states
and territories until after the senate ad-
journs, SO that he may appoint during
the recess and thus prevent the present
interpositlon of opposition to confirma.
tion by disappointed applicants.
