THE SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Republicans Insist That They Should
Control the Committees.

During the debate in secret session of
the Senate yesterday the question of the
committee vacancies came up. 1t was
caused by criticism OF Mr.. Allen. OF
Nebraska, objeCting TO the Committee on
Postorfices and Post Roads con nsidering
postoffice nominations until the vacancies
were filled. As the committee now stands
there is not Democratic Senator on it,
Mr. Butler, of North Carolina, Populst.
| being the only senator opposed to the Re-
publicans Mr. Allen said that this was
not fair representation, for the whole
Senate.
Republicans admitted that in some OF
the committees they appeared to have the
best of it, but they insisted that they were
unwilling TO be charged with the RESPONSE
3ility of legislation, unless the Senate gave
them a majority OF straight Republicans in
all committees. This the Democrats had
declined to do. The Democrats insisted
that they should name Democrats for those
whose terms had expired, aud that the Re-
pubIicans should keep the bolting Re
pubiCans now on the committee as part
of the Republican representation.
In the discussion the Republican leaders
insisted that they must be given a clear
ma iority or that all the elements opposed
to the straight Republicans, should COM
hine and take the committees themselves.
No conclusion was reached either upon this
matter or the treaty, and a O'Clock the
Senate adjourned until Monday.
During the open session the Civil Ser
vice Commission was subjected to another
raking down at the hands of Senator Gal
linGer He said that as his statement the
other day, about the hopping test TO
which applicants for employment in the
Government Printing office were sub
leCted, had been challenged by ''penHy-a-
liners" in the press, and by an official
OF the Civil Service Commission, he had
obtained a printed copy of the circular,
which contained that and other equally
absurd requirements, which would, he
said, have prevented Phil Sheridan from
making himself famous if the Civil Service
Commission had got q chance at him, and
would have even shut him out from em-
plovment in the Government Printing Of
flee.
The circular was referred to the com
nittee on Civil Service and Retrcnchment,
which is to investigate the whole sub
ject.

LAWYER ADRIAANS' ANSWER
He Denies the Charges Made by At.
torney Darlington.
Did Not Seek Employment from
Leach's Heirs-Fiies Counter Ac-
cusations Against His Accuser.

Attorney John H Adriaans appeared be-
fore Judge Cox yesterday to explain GER
tain charges that had been made against
him by Attorney Joseph j. Darlington.
Mr.. Atlriaaas was at the courthouse all the
moraing. but another important ease was
before the court, nd his case went over
till another day.
While waiting the convenience of Judge
Cox Mr.. Adriaans devoted his time to the
contested will case of Ezra w. Leach, be-
fore Judge Hagner in the probate court. 1t
was the coates5 over this will which created
the strife that exists between Mr.. Adriaans
and Mr.. Darlington.
Mr.. Adriaans asked permission Of Judge
Haguer TO read Il statement for the pur-
pose OF refuting the charges made against
hun, but the court declined. Mr.. Adriaans
then filed his statement, which set forth:
That it is absolutely and unqualifiedly
false that in January, 1897, he visited the
several New England States, at his own
instance and expense, for The purpose of
seeking out persons who We're the heirs-at-
law of the late Ezra w. Leach. and of In
ducing them to employ hinBto contest the
will of Mr.. Leach, forta part of the estate,
in case the contest should be successful
The statement reCiteS how he had known
Ezra w. Leach for ten years before his
death and did not know of a will unit he
heard SO from friends in Anacostia. Then
he learned that coiored la wyer had pre-
pared a will, by which Leach left all of
his property to his colored servant, Lucas.
Adriaans reasserted that the estate is
worth from 81 200 to SEQ 900. and that
he had not made any false statement to
the heirs, as charged by Mr.. Darlington.
He denied that he had done anything
worthy the censure of the court. The court
should compel Mr.. Darlington to answer
under oath, he said, whether he hired
Thurstou. n Massachusetts lawyer, To visit
AdraanS' clients with a view to having
them severaly withdraw from the cayeat,
and whether he did, or agreed to, pay
the expenses of Thurston on the journey.
He closed his statement by charging that
Mr. Darlington desired to convert the
estate into money for the purpose OF re
ceiving Il pro rata share, should the Leach
will hold good in court, and he suggested To
the court that a rule be issued command
ing him to appear in court and explain the
nature of the contract between him and
Thurston.

that will fortify this country is the men OF
