FHE new YORK JURIST SELECTED
FOR TEE SUPREME BENCH.
WAS NOT A SURPRISE.
A Brother of Wheeler H. Peckham, Who
Was Rejected Last Winter, and at
Present A,.mber Of the New
York Court of Appeals
other Washington News
Of Interest.

WASHINGTON, Dec. AUST as had
been prehgured, the President to-day
sent to the Senate the nomination of
Judge Rufus w. Peckham of the court
of appeals of New York State for the
vacancy on the Supreme bench caused
by the death of Justice Howell L.
Jackson of Tennessee. The new NOM
inee is brother of Wheeler II. Peck
ham, the eminent New York lawyer,
whose nomination was rejected last
winter.
Judge Peckham is a resident of
Albany. His name has been men
toned frequently for the Office. 1t is
believed his nomination will be salts
factory to Senator Hill, whose oppo-
sition was successful in preventing
the confirmation of Mr.. Horn
blower and Wheeler H. Peckham,
for the place now held by Justice
White of Louisiana. Senator Hill
on several occasions spoke very high
ly of the nominee. The nomina-
ton will go first to the Senate judi
ciary committee, which always
scrutinizes closely the records of per-
sons named for the Supreme court
bench, but in view of the high reputa-
tion of Judge Peclsham, it is believed
confirmation will follow as speedily
as is consistent with the Importance Of
the office. Judge Peckham's turn on
the New York bench would have ex-
pired December 81, 1900.
The President also sent in the NOM
nations of Richard Olney to be Secre-
tary of State and Judson Harmon to
be Attorney General.

Mr.. Livingstone of Georgia Presents a Res
OlutIOn Rebuking England.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. The first
movement in Congress upon the Ven
ezuelan boundary dispute came to-day
in the form of resolution introduced
by Representative Livingstone of
Georgia, whose name has been some
what identified with the question by
reason of his resolution commencing
arbitration, which was adopted by the
last Congress, and his recent visit to
Venezuela.
The resolution recited that by a reso-
luton of the last Congress it was rec
commended that the boundary dispute
be submitted to arbitration and that
the action was brought to the atten-
tion OF Her Britannia Majesty's gov
eminent by the President, courteously
and with kind intent, and declares
that Her Msjesty's government
has failed to give the prompt
consideration to the important
request contained in that joint Feso-
luton or to answer the same in
any manner, such as was due and
becoming to the dignity of the United
States as a great nation and to
the friendly relations existing be-
tween the two governments" 1t also
recites that after this communication,
the colonial secretary also instructed
the Governor of British Guiana to
take forcible possession of certain ter
ritory of Venezuela involved in the
dispute, IAN act which has been off,
ciaily declared to be the manifesto
ton of an unfriendly disposition
toward the United States"
In conclusion, the resolution pro-
vides for a joint committee of two
senators and three members to in
vestigate the facts and recommend
proper action to Congress, to vindicate
and preserve the dignity and rights
of the United States in the premises.

Quiet in the House Both Before and
During the Public Reading.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The excite
ment and confusion attending the
opening session OF the House yesterday
had almost entirely vanished when
that body met at noon to-day. The
crowds in the galleries had thinned
out, the flowers had disappeared, and
members chatted easily in their re-
volving chairs.
The Rev. Fl. N. Couden, the new
chaplain, blind Universslist preacher
from Port Huron, Mich, delivered the
invocation after Speaker Reed had
raped the members TO order.
Then Mr.. Payne, of New York,
chairman of the committee appointed
to wait upon the President, reported
that Mr.. Cleveland had sent his re-
spectful salutatiOns to Congress and
would communicate in writing,
Immediately thereafter Mr.. Pruden,
the Presidents executive clerk, ap-
peared with the message, which the
speaker forthwith laid before the
House. AS the clerk began its read
ing the House became quiet and the
members listened, some intently, but
all respectfully, to the words of the
chief executive.
AS the reading progressed interest
seemed to flag. Not during the entire
reading was there single manifesto
ton of approval or disapproval, but at
the conclusion there was light scat
tering applause. Five thousand copies
of the message were ordered printed,
after which, at 1850 o'clock, on motion
of Mr.. Payne, the House adjourned
until Friday.
