FAILED OF CONFIRMATION.
Many Presidential Nominations to
Which Objection Was Made.

The executive session OF the senate held
Just prior to adjournment yesterday was
devoted largely to cases to which there
was no objection, but no time of any con-
sequence was given to any case. With
the time fixed for final adjournment all
appreciated that any determined opposi-
ton would inevitably result in defeat. On
this account a number of nominations went
over. Among them were those of Hamil-
ton 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 OBJ
lection to the nomination of some of the
northern men appointed to places in south
ern regiments and some of these went
over. The nomination of E. H. Zurhorst to
be collector of customs at Sandusky, Ohio,
met with q like fate on the suggestion of
Senator Foraker.

houses Of Congress failed to become a law
on account of the failure Of the President
to attach his signature. This was House
bill appropriating $4,000 to carry into eff
feet some of the provisions of the Curtis
bill concerning the government Of Indian
territory. 1t passed the Senate about q
minute before O'clock, and not IN time to
receive the signature Of either the Vice
President or the Speaker of the House.
The last bill signed was The bill making
provision for the reimbursement of the erv-
ernors of the various states for money ex-
pended in connection with the raising of
troops. The clock struck as the Presi-
dent laid down his pen after signing this
measure.
