Warburg. But It was learned today
that. although last nights action was
unanimous, some of the Democrats on
the committee will line up for Warburz
and do whatever the President directs.
A motion to discharge the Banking
and Currency Committee from considera-
ton OF Warburg's name is expected to
be the parliamentary move made to
bring his name before the Senate.
The chances for the confirmation Of
Jones are undoubtedly better than those
of Warburg. Jones made a statement to
the committee in response to its invi-
tation. Warburg refuses to do so. A
sharp issue as to Senate prerogatiyes Is
thus raised

Of Jones The exact nature Of 1t is not
disclosed. Before Senator Owen depart

said to have changed front and to have

It must be understood that the travelling vas far from smooth, and whua an effort was undoubtedly made to rc, the first mail through in as good time as ros,ibl, there is little doubt that the weekly service will be kept up to schcGul, without difficulty.
 The mail which arrived Thursday last consisted of limit consignment of second class matter there being little hrst-cIass. During the winter months ther are but two steamship arrivals each month between Sc@.rd and Seattle, and thus there are likely to be frequent trips in which second- class mail only will be carried.
