WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE net result of a
five hours struggle in the Senate to-day was
the passage of a Joint resolution. to which there
was no sort OF objection, permitting a temporary
studio to be erected on some OF the public
grounds in Washington for the construction and
completion OF a statue Of Gen. Sherman.

Morgano OF Alabama and Harris of Kansas to get
up the resolution requesting the President to
suspend the agreement made by the Cleveland
Administration for a foreclosure sale of the
Union Pacific property and for the receipt by
the Government of over $45, 600, 900 in full pay.
