Straus of New York to be sec retary of commerce and labor, The Moody, which had been raised in the senate by number of democratic sen ators, was not strongly pressed at the session to-day, and no roll call was asked for. On the vive voce vote for Mir Bonaparte, however, there were a number of negative votes on the minor ity side, estimated at about fifteen
 Senators Culberson and Carmack led the discussion against both Mir. Moody and MT. Bonaparte.
 Against the former they raised the question of the fitness for the supreme court bench, based upon measures he had introduced as a member of the house.
 It was again urged against MT. Bon- aparte that his utterances against leg islation for the regulation of combina- tions of capital united him to enforce legislation of this character. Senator Lodge defended the nomination of Mr. Bonaparte by saying that the president would not name man for the responsi- ble position of attorney general unless he was sure that the nominee was in sympathy with the administration de- sire to break up such combinations.
 There was no opposition to either MT Metcalf or MT. Straus.
