Mr. Cullom , who was ono of the senators so appointed , applied to the senate to-lay to bo relieved of his duties on the commission , but It was dropped In the coarsn of a discussion that the law did not provide the means of lllllng any vacancies that might occur. The subject gave to Mr. Hoar nn opportunity for challenging the con stitutionality of recent appointment * by the proslJont of senators as delegates to the Brussels monetary conference and In other civil capacities , and he thouht the ques tion of .suftlrlcntly grave Importance to have it reforro.l , with Mr. Cullom's resignation , to the commlttco on privilege. ! and elections. Finally , in view of the dlfllcultles In the case , Mr fullom withdrew his request and Mr. Hoar's motion fell with It. Mr. MiniltTKon Mr. M.indcrson resigned his position as president pro tern of the senate and Mr. Slarris was elected In his place. Mr. Man- ilerson said there tiad come to him two years ngo the distinguished honor of being elected Iircsiik'iit pro tetnpore of the senate. No suitable opportunity had seemud to present itself hitherto to express his recognition of that distinction. Ho now desired to express Ills deep sense of the honor and his heartfelt thanks to his jxjlitlcal associates by whom that distinction had been proposed. He also thanked heartily those of opposing politics vrho had made no nomination against the republican se'ectlon. Ho had come to the place , therefore , by the unanimous vote of the senate. Ho thanked all for the dis tinction which had permitted him , while occupying the chair , to discharge his duties with ho hoped some satisfaction to the senate , llceognlzlng a chaniro of conditions , ho now tendered his resignation of the ofllce of president pro tern. The resignation was , on motion of Mr. Sherman , accepted. In executive session the subject of reorgan izing the senate otllcial force was broached , but no conclusion was reached.

The resolution was agreed to and Mr. Har ris , escorted by Mr , Manderson , took and signed the oath of oftico nt the clerk's ofllce. The vice president having left the chair temiwrarlly , Mr. Harris expressed his thanks for the honor conferred upon him. Ho said : "Senators ! . I am profoundly grateful for the honor you have done me in this election , and it shall bo my earnest object and purpose to deserve the kindness and conlldonco which lias been conferred on me. Thanks , sena tors , many thanks. " Mr. Voorhees spoke of tno resolution of fered at the close of last session by Mr. Gorman - man and agreed to , unanimously thanking Mr. Manderson for the able and most satls- factory manner in which ho had discharged the duties of president , pro tern of the ( senate. Thcro the matter might rest , but it had been suggested that in taking leave of Mr. Manderson In his oftlcial capacity , ho ( Mr. Voorhees ) might express for the dem ocratic side of the chamber their thanks anew and their best wishes for him in over.v relation of life hereafter. The relations Just sundered were , Mr. Voorhees added , most delightful.

Five mem hers of the Missourideleg-ition in congress headed by KopresonUtlvo Uland , calleJ al the 1'ostofllco department tad jy and held a conference with Postmaster General Dlssell The delegation desired some expression fron General Ulssoll as to what weight would b ( given to the recommendations of members o congress In the appointment of postmasters , It 1md been repeatedly stated In the news papers , It was said , that congressional liitlu unco was to go for nothing , and this state ment had been so often repeated that it ha ( come to bo the general belief throughout th < country that the recommendation and in flucnco of a member of congress was of m particular value to Jan applicant. It was ai embarrassing situation for a member to be placed in , and it was hoped that the post master general would giva them a dellnit answer on these points. Mr. liland statei a hypothetical case. There were In a cet tiiln town lialf a dozen applicants for the post mastership. They were nil food men- cijually good and each had Hied In the do partmcnl a petition signed by a rcspectabl number of reputable citizens. The quostioi Mr , Uland desired answered was whothe the recommendation of the members of con press from that district would decide th contest in the candidate's favor. IlUioll Xnn-commlttul. Mr , Bisscll listened attentively to all tha was said , but declined to decide questions o this character until ,111 actual case , involv ing the iKinits under discussion , was prc sentcd Ho did not think ho could Justly b held responsible for what had boon pul llshcd in the newspapers , and ho called at tcutiou to the fact that thus far , not ; single postmaster had boon appointed wh had not the endorsement of his membc of congress. It ought to bo taken as con elusive oUdeuco that sometime * newspaper made mistakes , and that it was by no mean his intuition to liaioro members of congress Ho thought , however , that the qucs lion of candidates should , in a measure a least , bo decided by the people of th locality. They were moro intcrosto than any onu elso. Undoubtedly thoi wishes should bo consulted an plvcu very great weight. What he most d < sired was that ho should have the benefit c the advice of tne people as well as that c their rcpiVbenUkllvo iu congress. No on Mould iu any sense bo ignored , and It wa , folly to suppose that the assistance , sorvie nnd recommendations of men of such big character us were the representatives of tin people in congress were not oarocsllyMi sired. His great aim was to plvo the poopl \ of this country the best possible postal so vlco In every brunch Mr. UUscll said ho bad understood th : the statement had boon published that no women wens to bo appointed to postmaster- hlpi , and that newspaper men were also to bo discriminated against. Neither of thcso stories were true and ho regretted their pub * llcatlon. _ . rtllH.IO I'ltlNTKU. Nonunion Men Tretent Petition to the l'r lil nt OD the Snhjttct. WASIIINOTOX , D. O. , March 22.

[ Special to TUB BEE. ] The council last night fought long and loud over the matter of awarding the contract for the building of the O street via duct. O'Shoo brought up the matter by moving that the contract bo awarded to the Milwaukee Bridge and Iron works with the provision that the masonry shall bo of Colorado rado sandstone at $ ll.li' ) per cubic yard , the city attorney having given ns his opinion that this is the binding effect of Its bid , and that the $1S clause therein related to the manner of constructing the piers rather than the material to bo used. Another mem ber moved that the bid bo accepted as It stood. Bochmcr called the attention of the coun cil to the fact that if the council allowed the bidder to charge the $10,000 extra for masonry , as contemplated by it , the cost would use up the entire estimate , nnd there was danger that If any more extras wcro run in the railroad company wtuld refuse to pay for them , andMegal complications ensue. After a lengthy disrussion the following resolution was passed : lle olvctl. That the bid of the Milwaukee Itrldce nnd Iron Works company bo accepted , and that the Hoard of 1'ubllc Works be directed , to prepare the contrnct therefor , putting : r clause therein that the ma-onry shall be of Colorado sandstone , at J11.i5 ! per ruble vard , and submit the sam-j to the city council for approval. In drawing up tne specifications the city engineer failed to state what kind of stone should be used in the masonry portion of the structure. Tbo Milwaukee company made nn open bid specifying that all masonry would be at the rate of ? ll.'JTi per cubic yard. Further down it stated that should the city decide to use cyllndrival iron piers the masonry underneath should bo $18 per cubic yard. On the back of the bid wns written a statement that the masonry , should It be of Colorado sandstone , was to be nt the rate of { 18 a cubic yard. In reporting upon the matter the Board of Public Works recommended that the bid bo awarded to the Milwaukee company , but in consideration of their using Colorado sandstone for masonry they should bo allowed the sum of f'J..CJO extra. This recommendation the council refused to ac cept and will endeavor to make the company do the work at the amount of its bid. This , it is very safe to assert , the bridge people will not accept , as at $11.35 it would be a los ing job. .Steward Mitdden Injured. H. M. Madden , steward at the Insane asy lum , was seriously injured last night while on his way to the hospital from the city. The street car line runs within a few rods of the asylum , and about 11 o'clock ho got oil a car and started to cross the bridge between the end of the car line and the hos pital. In the darkness ho mistook his bearings and walked over the edge of the bridge , falling a distance of ten feet or more. Ills cries brought the assistance of the street car men , who brought him back to the city and to the. Llndcll hotel. His In juries consist of a fracture of the thigh bono near the joint nnd internal trouble. He was taken back to the hospital this afternoon. City In llrlcf. William Dennis was released today on a writ of habeas corpus by Judge Lansing. Dennis wns fined nnd sentenced to sixty days iu the county jail by a Itajmond Justice of the peace for asslmlt. His attorney ap plied for his release on the ground that a justice had no authority in law to fine or sentence a man for misdemeanors , inasmuch as the statute in conferring jurisdiction on justices nullified its act by giving them double jurisdiction. The court held the point well taken. The tailors are still out nt the various shops in the city , none of which , save the two which agreed to the scale , being in oper ation today. There nro symptoms of weak ening on the part of some of the men. Labor troubles were given another stirring up this morning when the president of the local Tyixjgraphical union called out the five men who were at work on the new alleged labor daily , run in the interests ol the republican ticket for mayor , on the ground that the solo object of the paper waste to split the ranks of labor and attempt to disrupt the Tyix > graphical union. The paper was not Issued today , but the state organizer has been called for to settle the question , the proprietor claiming that the union acted without authority In calling hla men out. At 2 o'clock the cases were manned by rat printers furnished by the Call. The diftlculty between the democrats and independents over the excise board ticket was settled this afternoon by G. B.

I'm an old smoker , and have at one time or another tried all the different Smoking Tobaccos , but for a good smoke Bull Durham beats 'cm all. A leading characteristic of Bull Durham has always * been the hold which It takes on old and fastidious smokers. What Its excellence first secured , Its uniformity has always retained , and It is , therefore , to-day as twenty-five years ago , the most popular Smoking Tobacco in the wotid. Get the genuine. Made only by Blackwell's Durham Tobacco Co. , DURHAM , N. C. Which do you want-- a Top Goat or Pnuemonia We don't have any Pneumonia on hand just now , because we have such an immense assortment of Preventers in th e shape of Spring Overcoats coats- Pneumo nia costs more th an our Top Coats , too , and it's not half so stylish You'll look better after a week's trial of one of our nobby Spring Overcoats than you would with the same amount of experi ence in the Pneumonia line. We have no desire to stir up a fight with the doctors , but the fact remains that our Light Overcoats are a whole lot nicer o to take than Pneumonia medicine.
