WILLHEBE REJECTED
The Peckham Nomination to
Be Decided This AT
ternOon.
BITTER FIGHT BEINGWAGED
Anti-Administration Senators On
the Aggressive Claiming
Victory.

WASHINGTON, Feb Is, 1s94.-At an un-
usually early hour for United States Sena-
tors the advocates and opponents OF the
confirmation of Wheeler H. Peckham, nomi-
mated january 80 last to be Associate Justice
of the United States Supreme Court, were
astir this morning, Mr.. Hill being among
the first to reach the Senate wing
of the building. Senators Villas and Lindsay
were not far behind him. and then began the
preliminary struggle to present solid front
for the contest which has been agreed upon
for this afternoon Mr.. Hill did some active
work and was in conference with Senators in
committee rooms, corridors and cloak rooms.
and in this missionary work was assisted by
several republicans.
The friends of the administration were
not less energetic, but lacked the helping
hand of Republican allies, such as had de-
clared their intention of supporting the nomi-
nee. contenting themselves with that, and
making no effort to make proselytes among
their Colleagues. The cloak rooms of the
Senate filed up at an earlier hour than usual,
and the tariff gave way m the cloak room
talk to gossip about the outcome OF today
battle. Both sides still professed confidence,
but there were evidences of anxiety on the
part of the opposing leaders.
A CANVASS OF THE SITUATION.
Last night a careful canvass was made OF
the Senate bv leading Senator, and the
vote as complied by him shows 43 votes
against Mr.. Peckham, 81 votes for him, and
1fdoubtful. If this list be accurate, the NOM
inee would be defeated, even if all the doubt
frl men voted for confirmation. OF course,
in s,,ch a poll. account is taken of the alb
sentees who are paired. Those marked
doubtful in this list are MessIs. Allison,
Hale, Hoar, Kyle, Lodge, Mcmillan, Nc
Lauren, Morrill,, Squire, Stockbridge and
Washburn According to the same poll,
Senators Dixon and Sherman are placed in
the affirmative; but it is claimed that Mr..
Dixon will not vote to confirm.
Mr.. Allison voted against Hornblower,
and it is expected that he will vote the same
wav today AS to the votes of the other
doubtful republicans. it is claimed that
they will be divided when 1.-THE roll
is called. 1t was reported tins
morning that the charge that Peckham had
declared bis belief that a protective law was
unconstitutional, had been disproved, and
this NAV influence some Republican votes
that might otherwise be cast against him.
THE FIGHT GROWING WARM
Mr.. Dolph who has been counted as
being opposed to Peckhanl. it is now said
will vote for him; but this is offset
by the fact that Mr.. Hoar has
come out against the nominee and declared
his intention of voting to reject. In
this way. also, Mr. Lodge, and possibly Mr..
Morrill,. will be transferred from the doubt
full column to those in active opposition. As
the hour for the Executive session ap-
proaches the Administrative men are
becoming more aggressive.

back the business

PRINCESS ooLoNNA's SUIT.
The French Courts Decide i'm Favor

By Cable to the United Press

By Cable To the United Press.
PARIS, Feb Is. 1S94.-Judgment was
handed down today in the case of Princess
Colonna, who instituted proceedings here to
obtain a judicial separation from her hus-
band.
| The Judgment recounts all the facts in the
| case and dismisses the demand OF the Prln-
cess for separation on the ground that
| Prince Colonna is an Italian subject and
1 therefore outside the jurisdiction OF the
| French courts The Court says that IN q
| suit of this kind the Prince is actlonaDie
| only in Naples, and that it will be necessary
| for the courts in that city to settle the ques.
| tion of the temporary care OF the children OF
| the marriage, pending final decision tnere
| in the matter.
In the preamble attached to the judgment
| the Court recites that the children were tenn
porarily confded to the care OF the Frlncess
on condition that the Prince be allowed TO
see them three times a week. The Princess
had violated the decisions of justice and had
prevented the Prince from seeing the child
| rem. 1t further SAYS that the Princess has
now executed a project of abduction, which
she audaciously attributed to her husband,
| The order appointing the Princess tenn
porary guardian of the children IS with
| drawn. and the Prince is ordained to be their
guardian 1t is ordered that all the children
| Be placed in the care of their aunt, Princess
| Stigliano of Naples. Princess Colonna will
be allowed to visit them on Sundays and
| Thursdays from two to four o'clock In the
afternoon.
| It is further ordered that the children be
| handed over to the Prince within twenty
| four hours, and in the event of failure to
comply with this order the Princess will be
| fined three hundred francs daily for three
1 months. If at the end of three months she
continues to disobey the order, the Court de
clares that it will take stronger measures to
| enforce it's mandate.
| The Princess is condemned to pay the cost
| of the action.
| 1t may be pointed out that the order OF
| the French Court will not be obeyed.
| Princess Colonna, accompanied by her three
| children, arrived in New York at the begin
ming of this week, and it would, therefore,
| be an impossibility even were she so in
clined, to hand the children. over to the
Prince in the time ordered by the Court.
