THE DAY IN THE SENATE.
Clouds Over the Report of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury.

ate, Allen, Populist, of Nebraska, called
up his resolution directing the secre-
tary of the treasury to inform the SEN
ate from what sources the gold coin Of
this country, outside the federal treas
ury was increased to $SS, OOO, 900 during
the fiscal year $685. as expressed in his
recent report for that year
Dolph joined with the Populist sen
ator in expressing his inability to COM
prehend the secretary of the treasury
report, and the resolution of inquiry
was adopted without dissent
The Senate then went into executive
session, and devoted the greater part
of the time to two nominations, which
had been hanging ever since the extra
session-those of r. E. Preston, direc-
tor of the mint, and Isaac J. Wooten,
of Delaware, agent of the Nevada In
dian agency, in Nevada.
The case of Wooten was the first
taken up. 1t is understood that Gray
made a brief reply to the personal
charges made against Wooten by Hig-
gins, defending Wooten as a competent
man for the position. and also replied
briefly to the general charges as to
the improperly of selecting man
from one state to hold office in an
other, saying there were many prece-
dents for such a course The vote re-
suited in WOOten'S favor

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE executive
committee of the Republican national
committee today did what it considered
a fine stroke of policy by passing reso-
lutions, first for the admission of Utah
to the Union; second. for the admis-
sion of all territories to the Union of
states.
The resolutions are as follows:
Resolved, that the admission of
Utah to statehood is now demanded
alike by justice to the territory and
Justice to the nation. The present
territory has the requisite number of

progressive, and possess the capacity
and intelligence to insure wise local
laws and prosperity and wealth to
support an efficient local government.

Representatives at the present session,

the people of Utah. The political
party that was organized to fight
polygamy has been disbanded and its
members are pronounced with other
people there in a general agreement
that they need statehood. Any longer
denial of the right of home rule to
this territory will be seriously detri-
mental to her industrial interests and

licenses were issued today for the Cor
bett- Mitchell contest on Jan. 25, and
for the colored boxers, Perry and Will

looked upon as a test case. The
Duval club officers laugh at Governor
Mitchell's threats, and say the con-

Local military officers say their men

are called out, companies from out
