NOMINATION HELD UP.-The Senate,
in executive session yesterday, had up
for time the nomination of David r.
Francis to be secretary of the interior,
but no action was taken. Senator Vest
was the principal opponent of confirma-
ton, but he was also seconded by Sena-
tor Pugh. Both of these Senators made
speeches against the confirmation, and
alleged various reasons against it,
among others the conduct of Secretary
Francis during the campaign. Senator
Francis wrote supporting the Indian
apolis ticket and opposing the regular
democratic ticket nominated at Chicago

MAY INVITE OUTsIDERs.-There is a
plan on foot to invite the athletes of
City College, Baltimore, and the Epis-
copsl High School, near this city, to
take part in the spring field and track
sports OF the District High Schools.
The Baltimore Sun says: SHOULD the
affair prove success it may lead to the
introduction ofother colleges, and, fl
nally, definite collegiate athletic union
for Maryland aud the District of Co.
lumbis. All the prominent athletes in
the city admit that it would have a
most invigorating influence on amateur
sport all over the State. There would
be no trouble in bringing the Washing
ton boys here in 1898, and perhaps
teams from some of the other colleges"

THE WEATHER during the past
twenty -four hours has been decidedly
swinterish. The dull, gray heavens of
yesterday brought snow about dark
which continued at intervals for sew
eral hours. The fall, however, was not
heavy. The temperature is not as low
as it was yesterday. The conditions
