of Interest.
WASHINGTON, February lo.-tSpecial)
senator Daniel made a long and exfaus-
tive speech in the Serate today on the
Hawaiian question. He followed ;he hhe
OF argument referred TO in this corre-
spoudence a few days ago after brief
talk with the Virginia statesman. Care
ful attention was paid to Senator Daniei
during the delivery OF his speech by the
senator's and wel-filled galleries, but there
was a commotion OF the floor and in the
galleries before he concluded owing to
the news that the President had ncmi-
mated Senator White, OF Louisiana, to be
Associate Justice OF the Supreme Court.
1t was generally known here this morn
ing that a nomination would be sent In.
but only a few people had the right name.
Two hours before the nomination came
in well-known newspaper correspondent
said a senator would be named, and he
added: 1T will not be Senator Gray, OF
Delaware The nomination Will be q
genuine surprise" II so turned out and
started a hum OF conversation about the
building Nearly everybody Is glad that
the fight is ended, and there Is much
rejoicing among Democrats that the
President took more sensible course
BY refraining from nominating any more
obscure men, or cranks, or boilers. Had
he persisted in his policy Senator Hin and
his followers must assuredly have adj
ministered the third rebuke TO Mr.. Cleve-
land.
Senator Hill Is the only man who has
ever whipped n President in a fight OF the
Kind that has just ended. As a senator
stated In newspaper article here yes
terday, that Sumner went down in a
tussle with Grant. Conkling was van
quished by Garfield, but Senator Hill gave
Cleveland two defeats.
Senator Daniels speech was cut off by
motion to go into executive session for
the confirmation of Senator White Most
all the senator's were keen 10 confirm him.
