Mr Werner. ST., was at the Capitol today
and saw a number OF Senators in regard
10 the nomination OF his son. To a repre-
sentative of the sun Mr. Warner said: Il

I understand that Senator Wellington will
oppose his confirmation. but that does not
change my opinion regarding his prospects

which may ensue.
Senator Wellington Is very determined in
the matter, and having made up his mind TO

ton TO extreme limits, If necessary.
Mr Warner, on the other hand, is equally

Senator to action upon any particular nomI-

simply by stating that he did not wish the

Senator Wellington might be expected to
secure a similar result IL il was not for the

upon the question involved.
The fight for confirmation. If there be

tor from Maine Is not only ii friend Of Mr.
Warner, but is said 10 be unfricudly to Sena-

Senator. While Mr. Frye commands great

the event OF a test Of strength in the SEN

Senators sympatbize entirely with senator
wellington.
There are three OF four Senators : incl uting
Messrs. Fairbanks and penroSe, who have
been compelled to accept nominations of
men accredited totheir respective States who
