Nominations on Which the Senate
| Took No Action.
WASHINGTON, July S.-The executive
session of the Senate held just prior to adj
| journment to-day was devoted largely to
cases to which there was no objection. but
no time of any consequence was given to
any one case. With the time fixed for final
adjournment all appreciated that any de-
termined opposition would inevitably result
| in defeat. On this account a number of
nominations went over. Among them were
those of Hamilton G. Ewart to be Judge of
the District Court for the Western district
Of North Carolina and Edward r. Meek TO
be judge of the Northern district of Texas
The Southern senators renewed their obiec-
| ton to the nomination of some of the North
ern men appointed to places in Southern
regiments, and some of these went over
The nomination of E. H. Zurhorst to be COL
lector of customs at Sandusky, O., met with
a like fate on the suggestion of Senator
Foraker. During the executive session the
hands Of the clock were turned back five
minutes in order to permit the Senate to
conclude its business. Following are the
