The one fact that above all others

them in power on the strength of such

PECKHAM NOMINATION.
1t Still Hangs Fire in the Ma
tional Senate.
ANTS CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.

They Claim They VIII Have Forty-three
Votes Against Confirmation, Sufficient
to Insure ReJeotion-A Vote Expected
This Evening.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.--There was some
surprise when the senate, after being in
executive session for three hours, ad.
journed at JS0 last evening without tax.
ing action upon the Peckham nomination
1t had been supposed that one sitting
would suffice for the thorough considera-
ton of the subject and it was not con
sidered probable that either side would
ask for an adjournment or that if it
should the other would grant il without
vigorous protest. The adjournment ap-
pears, however, to have been the result of
general agreement, and SO little import
ance was attached to it that not one of
half dozen questioned upon the subject
could remember who moved the adjourn
ment. Senator Villas was speaking in
favor of confirmation when the senate adj
iourued.
1t was agreed that the senate should at
the close of the morning business today
again so into executive session. Accord
ingly Mr. Villas resumed his argument at
noon, and is still speaking. There are
hipMH 10 ne aJ least tnfce speeches vet To
be made besides that of Senator Villas, SO
that it is probable that it will be late in the
day before vote will be reached
Representatives of both sides of 4 he CON
troversy assert that the adjournment is
without any significance whatever. 1t be-
came apparent TO all that it would be i'm
possible to conclude the consideration of
the question before late in the night. as
there We're several speeches still To be
made, and many senators had engage
ments, some for the theater and others for
dinner parties.
The anti-Peckham men are somewhat
more confident of the result than are his
friends. They display estimates Of the
vote giving i3 votes against confirmation,
sufficient to insure rejection, and II doubt
ful, of which they claim they will secure
five or six The friends of Mr.. Peckham,
while displaying no estimates and not
making such explicit claims, are still hope
ful. and say they arc making gains.
In yesterdays debate Senator Pugh
spoke for an hour ana half against con
tirmation, and was followed by Senators
Harris and Lindsay, both of whom favored
confirmation. 1t was after 5 o'clock there
fore, when Senator Villas began his speech,
and the motion for adjournment met with
no opposition.
