To-DAY's SENATE.
The senate in executive session to-day
confirmed the nomination of Amos M
Thayer, of Missouri, to be United States
circuit judge for 9Th judicial district

co. The senate made an effort to dis.

session, but did not succeed, owing to the
absence of quorum.

quiring proof of subsequent loyalty be-
fore pensions or bounty lands are grant

personal privilege denied the published
imputation that he had introduced for
political purposes the resolutions recog-
nizing the Hawaiian republic. He de-
nounced the administrators policy as
"peanut politics." He finally became SO
violent that the chair ordered him to
take his seat.
NEARING THE END.
The tariff conferees remained in ses-
sion until a few minutes after IL O'Clock
to-day and when they adjourned the SEN
ate conferees proceeded to the presidents Is
room where they held private consulta-
tion. A report soon gained general cir
culation that
AN AGREEMENT
had been arrived at on the lines of the
understanding reached last night, to-wit,
that iron ore was to be free and coal
dutiable at 40 cents per ton and that the
compromise on the sugar schedule should
stand.
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS
of the conference at 1925 o'clock had re-
ceived no iptimation that full confer
ence had been held this morning and I'M
mediately began a consultation with the
leaders on that side of the house.
PETITION
was to-day circulated urging the house
tariff conferees to stand by free sugar
and permanent income tax. Represent
alive Bland started the petition and it
was numerously signed. One of the house
conferees has stated that since the first
meeting to-day he believed an agreement
WAS IN SIGHT.
Coal and iron ore had not yet, he said
been settled, but the main features of the
bill would be agreed on SO that the Re-
publicans would be called in tomorrow.
During recess of the conferees there
we're several conferences between the
leading conservative senators, and the
impression was that the most important
schedules were being considered.
THE HOUSE GAINS GROUND.
The senate conferees encountered OBJ
stacles in the metal, woolen and other
schedules of such character that they did
not feel justified in proceeding further
without first consulting with Senators
German, Brlce and Smith. The house
members demand liberal concessions on
many articles on the metal and woolen
schedules and also on earthenware and
glassware.
