OBJECT TO THE
 NEW MINISTER
DEMOCRATIC SENATORS CLAIM PRESIDENT HADNO RIGHT TO PRESIDENT HAD NO RIGHT TO SEND REPRESENTATIVE TO THE

Washington, January S-In an executive session of the senate today the nomination of w. I. Buchanan, to be minister to Panama. was discussed for more than two hours. the debate being confined almost entirely to the constitutional right of the President to appoint a minister to he new republic without the cooperation of the senate.
 The point was raised by the democrats that the position to which Mir Buchanan was nominated was not in existence when the appointment was made, and that the President had no right to create the posi- ton, except with the consent of the sen ate.
 The democrats who supported this posi- tion were Senators Morgan, Bacon, Bailey Pettus and Blackburn. Republican sena- tors almost unanimously supported the action of the President. They declared he aeted wholly within his executive prerog- ative. The argument on that side of the question was made by Senators Lodge Cullom, McComas. Spooner. Fairbanks and Allison.
 Senators Bacon and Bailey in their speeches argued that the President had usurped the functions of the senate by uiSp1tCHlilS tO 1anaIna a minister whose nomination had not been confirmed, or had sent MT. Buchanan there as an envoy or commissioner without color of law.
 They held that as the senate was in session, the President lawfully could not send minister to foreign country with out the advice and consent of the senate
 Senators sCullom, Lodge and Fairbanks took the position that the President had a perfect right to nominate a minister to Panama, notwithstanding the fact that no such office previously existed.
 They asserted, however, that Mir Blu chanan was not acting as minister. and that the President had not commissioned him as such. He was. they said merely a personal representative of the President, dispatched to Panama on a diplomatic mission, and responsible alone to the Pres ident.
 A precedent for this action was cited in the case of Mir Blount who was sent to Hawaii by President Cleveland, and whose authority was paramount notwith- standing the fact that an American min ister WIS at Honolulu. exercising diplo- matic functions No decision was reached and the matter went over until Mon day.

W. Garth to tell what they know in justice to the departed chieftain. General Moore writes:
 ''It is due General Lees old warhorse. who was famliarly known to the army of northern Virginia as Old Pete Longstreet. that a statement should be made which will vindicate his actions soon after the surrender and re-instate him in the hearts of those who always felt safe in battle when he was at their head and who would have been proud to shed their last drop of blood to shield his fair name if they had only been cogni- zant of the facts which impelled him to pursue the course he did-as he believed for the benefit of his southern people

CHAOTIC SCENES
 AT CITY ELECTION
IN MEMPHIS BALLOT BOXES WERE STOLEN, BALLOTS BURNED AND TWO MEN WERE SHOT IN A RIOT.

Memphis. January s-Although twenty four hours has passed since the polls closed in the city election held yester- day, the result is still in doubt, legal contest of several of the offices is prac- tically assured, and late developments show that the election was signalized by the most irregular and chaotic scenes connected with any local contest of re- cent years.
 In the Tenth ward ballot boxes were stolen, ballots burned and two men were shot, one seriously, in a riot, within the room where the ballots were being count ed. Gross irregularities are alleged in the Fourth and Fifth wards, and many minor shooting and cutting affrays are reported from all parts of the city.
 All manner of wild rumors are current, but the more conservative are inclined to think that no further violence need be anticipated, as 1t is believed the can didates will quietly submit to the off cial canvass of the vote on Monday by the election commissioners, and where the situation seems to warrant resort to legal contests will be had Tonight the city is quiet, although partisan feel ing is running high.
 The tally sheets in the ninth ward show the count of the majority of the ballots saved by the judges and an effort will be made by the independents to have this incomplete vote counted, and to have the vote in the fourth and fifth wards thrown out. The administration forces will it is said oppose these ef- forts
