CONFIRMED,
SENATE HAS ADJOURNED.
NONE OTHER THAN EXECUTIVE
BUSINESS ENTERED UPON DUR
ING THE SESSION.
SENATOR MITCHELL SWORN IN.
PRESIDENT SENT HIS GOOD WISHES,
SENATOR'S SAID FAREWELL,
AND IT WAS OVER.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-After
proceedings lasting only six days the
extraordinary session of the Senate
was declared adjourned sine die al
1855 p. m to-day. During the session
practically no business except that OF
executive character was transacted.
The session was called by the Presi-
dent in that the Senate might have
opportunity to confirm appointments
made at the beginning of the new ad-
ministration. That business accom-
plshed, there was nothing further for
the Senate to do.
At the opening of to-day's session,
the president pro tenn, Senator Frye,
of Maine, was indicted into Office, the
oath being administered by Vice Pres
ident Roosevelt.
Hon. John H. Mitchell, the recently
elected Senator from Oregon, was
presented by his colleague, Senator
Simon, and took the oath of Office. He
was given a cordial reception by his
colleague on the floor, many of whom
had served in the Senate with him, and
by his friends in the galleries who
greeted his appearance with hearty ap-
plause.
Through a committee of the Senate,
consisting of Mr.. Hoar, of Mass, and
Mr.. Cockrell of Missouri, the Presi-
dent informed the Senate that he had
no further communications to make.
He conveyed to Senators his cordial
wishes for their welfare and his hopes
that they might have a happy return
to their homes. Without ceremony,
the session was then declared at an
end. For a considerable time after
final adjournment, many Senators re-
manned on the floor of the chamber
exchanging cordial farewells.
The Senate in executive session to-
day confirmed all the nominations to
office that have been made during the
special session. There was a recess
while the doors were closed in order
to permit the various committees to
make reports upon the nominations
and all We're favorably reported.
When the names of the members of
the Spanish claims commission were
reached, Senator Teller asked for some
report upon the various nominations.
Speaking for the committee on judi
diary, Senator Hear stated that all the
members of the commission were high
ly commended by those acquainted
with them. He referred to the nonii-
nation of ex-senator Chandler, saying
that he presumed no member of the
Senate needed any information as to
his quail ~fdcationiS, characteristics or
fitness for the place.
He may lack something in energy"
said Senator Hoar. by way of jest, but
i ann sure t.at whatever failure there
may be in that direct will be made up
in his zeal"
Senator Burrows spoke for Mr.. Dick
ema, Senator Hanna for Mr.. Wood,
Senator Morgan for Mr.. Chambers and
several Senators for Mr.. Maury. The
explanations were all accepted as sat-
isfactory and no objection was made
to immediate action.
The second agreement extending the
time for the ratification of the French
treaty was received and referred to the
committee on foreign relations.

WHY THE NICARAGUAN CANAL BILL
HAS FAILED OF ADOPTION
BY CONGRESS-.
TRUST PROPHESIES VERIFIED.
THE SENATORIAL DEADLOCK IN
NEBRASKA EXPLAINED ON
PLAUSIBLE GROUNDS.

NEW YORK, March 9.-William ].
Bryan arrived unheralded at the Hoff-
man house, to-day, and nobody had
called on him before noon except his
friend, DR.. John H. Girdner, and a re-
porter. Mr.. Bryan said he had come
here on business-newspaper business
and that he would deliver no
speeches and attend no public din
ners. He had not a word to say about
free silver or paramount issues" He
was here on business for his paper, he
said.
Mr.. Bryan was questioned about va
rious matters of public interest. Here
are some of his replies:
1T looks as if the N%icaraguan canal
project had fallen Through. The trans
continental railroads and the McKin-
ley administration are responsible. The
railroads were afraid that if the water
was used for the canal there would
not be enough left for their stocks"
If the Republican party makes no
more progress in the next four years
than it has made in the last four, it
will soon reach it's finish"
'1The big steel combine is but an
other illustration of the trusts we
fought in the last campaign The ten
dency is to still further and larger con-
solicitations of capital
The deadlock in the Nebraska Leg
islature? OH, yes, that is easily ex-
planned. You see there are only two
senatorships at the disposal of the
State and there are more than two rail
roads. Each railroad can't have a Sen
ator. therefore, trouble"
When questioned about the Populist
situation, Mr.. Bryan begged to be ex-
cused.
II stopped at Buffalo" said Mr..
Bryan, 'and saw the Pan-American
Exposition grounds and buildings.
The color scheme impressed me as bet
ter than that of the Chicago Worlds
Fair, and ! believe the exposition will
be quite as big a success as that of
1893"

BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS.
Begun in the Case of John f. earle
advantages to Unsecured Cred
ftOrS.

Begun IN the Case OF JOhn Il. Searles
advantages to Unsecured Cred
ftors.
NEW YORK, March "a petition
was filed in the bankruptcy court in
Brooklyn to-day to have the affairs of
John E. Searles wound up in bank
ruptcy. The petition was filed by VIM.
w. Cook, an attorney for the petition
ers, the Western Reserve National
Bank, of Warren, Ohio, the Duluth
Furnace Company, of Duluth, Mimi,
and Thomas E. Thomas, of Niles,
Ohio, whose claims against Mr.. Searles
are something over $50, 900. This pro-
ceeding takes the administration of
the property out of the hands of Ed
ward F. Dwight, to whom Mr.. Searles
made an assignment a few days age
Mr.. Cook made the following state
ment:
There are several reasons why | filed
this petition in bankruptcy. In the
first place it is a great advantage to the
unsecured creditors to have this done.
If the winding up of the estate should
be left to the assignee for the benefit
of the creditors all the secured credi-
tors would participate in the remain
ing assets, without any deduction on
account of their security. If on the
other hand, the estate is wound up I'M
der the bankruptcy act, the secured
creditors must first deduct from heir
claims the value of the collateral, be-
fore they are allowed to participate in
the distribution of the general assets.
This will make a very great difference
to the unsecured creditors and my
clients are in that category.
