CAN KEEP a SECRET
Senator Daniel b. a member OF the au-
r.f upper branch. who is perhaps as
i..nt . lu,klcr for secrecy regarding
.s...t.v- sessions as any man who ever
served bro that body. To Use slang eX-
I,..,on % is "a cold day when he gives

To-day hc was greeted with this re-
l..-.. "The vote on the Hornhlowcr re-
3coucn shows. Senator. that you were not

TAI interest"
And tteu the gentleman from Lynch

SENATE Us. PRESIDENT.
There is % good deal Of talk around the
Canliol to-day about the vote on the
rejection OF Hornblowcr. and the prevail
Ing sentiment "a there may be expected
many other uljs between the Senate
and tho President unless the entente
coraalc can be restored.
IL was subject OF comment also that
,he virginia and North Carolina senators
os they Gid when the purchasing clause
a thc sherman law was repealed. Sena-
tors Huuton and Ransom sustained the
administration policy, and Senators
Daniel and Vance opposed II.
GROVER ANGRY.
The President sent no nominations 70
the Senate to-day. IL is SAID ne ~ red
hot over the rejection OF Hornbiower
ard one story Is that he proposes 10 make make
no changes In Federal officials In the state
Of New York. but Will permit the Re
publlcans 70 hold the offices. ms Is
doubted. however for IL can hardly De
believed any man would do such thins
simply because one OF his appolniees
had been rejected.
