senators continued their conference to-

clusion on the course to be pursued
regarding legislation. They decided

He concluded this feature of his adj
dress by asking to be pardoned for
publicly rejoicing over a prospect of
party unity and explained that his
present attitude must be explained by
his great disappointment over the lack
of unity in the recent past. He believed
that with a return to the conditions be-
fore the war the party would return to
its successes of that time.
The Senate adjourned until to-mOr-
row.

SHOULD HAVE GIVEN NAMES.
This Criticism Is Made of Bristovv's
Report.


Washington, Dec. 16-The report of
Messrs. Conrad and Bonaparte on
their examination of the Bristow re-
port indorses that report generally,
but non-concurs as to certain passages
and recommends prompt publication of
the report.
The Bistow report in referring to
a transaction says: THE question of
the legality of a contract with a
senator-elect is a matter that should
receive consideration in connection
with this case" Messrs. Conrad and
Bonaparte suggest that the senator
elects name and the material facts
in the transaction should have been
given. They also say that the omis-
sion of the names of the members of
Congress with whom Bristow generally
says Beavers made contracts for rem
tai of premises, is hardly just to con-
gressmen generally.
