Mr. Huach of North Dakota who has been i
a silent hut conspicuous figure of the con-
flict . was engaged In writIng through the
early hours or the session. Several or the
Vt Loran 'Iemocrtc mcmbPs-1rmal , larrls
' . and others-discussed what could bo done
without jeopardizIng the paRnge of the ap-
propriaton bills.
On the surfact the senate business pro-
ceedell with Its usual 8eronlty. A land bill

corning IJ'ments for Bering sea seizures.
It ) Irectod the reference to the foreign relation -
tons contulteo or the president's message
concerning seizure , and an Investigation
of the subJect during the recess. Mr. Mor-

"
early atlJournncnt to give senators I breathIng -
Ing spell before the all night work which Is
expected tomorrow night.
ShUTTiNG OUT nELATIVES.
When time Item of clerle3 for senators and
members was reached Mr. landerson made
something of a stir hy offering an amend-
lent that no wife or n child of any senator
or member shall he named as a clerk to a
committee or to a senator or mmber.
Mr. Gra"s motion to table the Manderson
amendment prevailed.
Mr. nuter brought forward a new amendment -
ment appropriating about $1,000,000 for
French spolatnn claims and for claims under
the Bowman act. The amendment was
agreed to . thus incorporating the claims In
the bill. Mr. Cockrel , In charge or the bill ,
was visibly Irrlaled ,
"I thln\e. \ " said ho , "that as the senate Is
going Into this sort or thing I Olg'lt to
alll all the outstanding claims under 'he
Bowman act. "
"And nil the outstaluln ; rench spolaton
claims ? " salll Mr. I"I'ye , sarca tculy.
. "All Insurance claims " added Mr. Vilas.
' "Why , you sybil hnvo Ills bill so loaded
down as to be Irredeemable , " suggested Mr.
. Culloni. .
Mr. flutler's amendment had bcel attached
'o another amendment apprOIJrlatn $1.909.-
, l08 In favor or the Soulhcrn Pacifc railroad ,
I and this brought 01 a hot debate a to the
* allroad claim. Mr. Sherman said It was Improper -
. proper to . add this , railroad cbalin as It was I
- , qleston whether the United Statc3 owed the
Southern laclqc ; or vice versa. .
+ Mr l rye saId the Southern Pacific did not
ewe the government n dollar.
Mr. Sherman Insisted that this was an open
question , all that time Southern Pacific was
responsible for losses which the Central Pa-
clfo hall caused the United States.
Mr. Palmer opposed the singling out of
these railroad claims for payment. lu time
there should be al overhaulIng of all claims ,
but the I Southern Pacific should not be pre-
rerred 110W.
Mr. Petgrew made a savage onslaught on
the railroad claims. - He' said tile Central
Pacific and the Southern PacIfic vera one
> J and the Sonic road. The cmccr. . or UI c former
had stolen and wrecked the property and
then "theso scoundrels" had organized the
Souther , PacifIc. The obligations of the Ceo-
tral Pacific to the government would become
due and there would bo an opportunity to recover -
cover fropa "these swindlers" or tie Southern
Pacific . {
Mr. White or California urged a postpone
ment or the appropriation until a general
. settlement with the Pacific roads was secured.
DmCE CAME TO THEm AID.
Mr. Drlce salll senators Ihould not male
statements calculated to create public ap-
prehensions. TIC exphtlned the details or the
Southern Pacific anti or the Central l'acific
Pacifc
organizations. The former was an unremun-
eratve property , paying 10 dividends arid
with an empty treasury , This was a JUllg-
, ment rendered In I court or last resort ,
drawIng 4 reI cent lot rst and would roualn :
so until paid. The senator corrected 8e\'cr31
statements that bad been made as to con-
nectons between the various roads , theIr ror
tunes , otc. .
Mr. White remarked that this was one or
tim cases In which the railroads well .Insol-
vent and those who conducted them t were
4 otherwise. After n iengtiry debate the South-
ern Pacific amendment and the French spoil-
spol-
atlon amendments liotlt
aton were , . adopted-yeas ,
32 : nays 24.
DtUGIT UP TiE SEALS AGAIN.
An amenl1ment was offered appropriating
$50.000 for an arbitration commlte with
. Great Drltln to adjust claims growing _ out
or Dering sea seizures. A letter from Sec-
rotary Gresham urged the necessity or the
appropriation. Mr. Sherman reviewed time
circumstances or the Bering sea seizures.
The Paris court or arbitration has held the
United States liable , but did not fix the
amount The president has urged a settlement -
ment at $425,000 but congress has been
derelict II not acting . 1r. Sherman de-
cared the acton of congress was Inexcusa-
ble as first there was the Paris arbitration
and now came a second arbitratiomi. "It Is
my prophecy , " said 11 Sherman. "that It
will be shown that the Ulled States has
not acted IJrOperly or wisely In not closing
-his subject , The new arbitration will ult- (
mutely cost this government more than the
settement recommended by the president.
The refusal or the United States to carry
out the executive agreement or the Paris
arbitration wIll do more to weaken the
cause or arbitration than anything In recent
-ears. "
Mr Sherman offered an amendment ap-
Iroprlatng $120,000 to pay the claims In ac-
cordauce with the president's recommemla-
tion .
lon.Ar. . Morgan , one or the United Slates ar-
birators at Iarls , vigorously opposed the
Sherman amendment to n lump sum In setle-
lent , "It 18 I proposition to lump off the
honor and Integity of the United States , "
said he. "It Is the same proposition as that
made by the president , and It was properly
rejected by the house of representatives as
dlshonorablo to the government , "

Mr. Morgan said Great Drltaln had tried .
with the Ill of vlrlous members or time ad-
mlnlstrllon , to break up the award made ly
Jima Iarls tribunal. The senator told In detail -
tai how the butchering or the seals wl con-
tnuing systemateal ) ' .
"It this IUI Is paid , " said Mr , Morgan
wih great earnestness , "the government of
the UnIted States and this administration Is
disgraced. "
Mr. Cockrell speedily withdrew the
Cockrel spediy wihdrew amendment -
. , ment for a second arbitratiomi . Sa'lnl he had
' 10t anticipated such n conflict , This also
disposed of the allerman amendment for the
la'ment or a lullJ sum.

WASHINGTON , March 1.-The senate wont

Immediately coimfirmemi the 10mrnaton or
Hon. W. L. Wilson or Wcst Virginia to be
postmaster general Tile motion for eon-
rmalon was made by Senator Faulkner , to
whom the privilege was conceded on account
or the fact that he represents Mr. V'flson's
state In the senate. Immediately after the
Wilson nomination was disposed of time contested -
tested nomination of A. D. Tinsley to be
postmaster at Sioux Falls . S. D. , wits taken
up and proceeded with . This matter being
at time bead or the executive calendar bas
stool In the way of and prevented all other
executive DUSlne for several dayS past and
on this account lIas ntalnell an Importance
that would not otherwise attach to It.
Time committee on postofc mind post roads
reported I adversely , and Senator I'ettlgreiv
who has been desirous or having the nomin-
ton reported had made an effort to secure
acton on the belief that when I vote 110uld
bo taken It would result In Mr. Tlnsley's de-
fMt. Senator Kyle , favoring Me Tinsley , has
made an equally strong effort to prevent
acton. and has demanded 1 quorul when-
ever time question has been taken up. Owing
to time fact that alt the recent executive ses-
slons have been heh ! late I the day after
time delJartur for their homes or a majority
of the senators , t has been Inposslblo to secure -
cure a quorum Time executvo session was
called early to Insure the lJreSenco or a
maJorly of the senators , and the effort was
successful , for when Mr. Kyle made the re
port today , 'slxty-threo senators answered to
their , namnes. Mr. Kyle then took the floor
and began what promised to be a long speeclm.
It was undcrstood that he proposed to prevent -
vent acton at the present sesslomm and thus
prD\'ont rejection.
I was feared that this contest would be
allowed to stand In the way or Mr. Wilson's
con rmaton , but objection was waived In his
behalf.
When the motIon for Mr. Wilson's con-
frmaton was made Senator Petigrew Inter-
posed to say that be should demand acton
on the Dakota case before anything else
should be done , but Senator Faulkner protested -
tested that the Wison matter was an oxcep-
tonal one and urged that the selection of a
cabinet officer was a mater with which the
Senate should br allowed to proceed without
hindrance , as cabinet officers were regarded
as constituting the onclal famy or the chief
executive . Senator Pettgrew conceded this
vIew and withdrew his objection . Mr.
Faulkner made 10 further remarks and the
confrmaton \ at once made. At the con-
elusion of Senator Kyle's speech 1 vote was
taken and Mr. ' nomination

WASHINGTON , March 1.-A report or the
inspection of the several branches or the
National HOle for Disabled Volunteer Sol-
tiers , made by General J. C. Drecklnrldge ,
Inspector general or the army , bas been sent
to congress. The duty or inspectIng time several -
oral branches or time bore related to over
1.000 men and disbursements amounting
to $4,758,17. There Is probably nothing the
report says , which more deserves constdera-
ton than time decorous and comfortable
housing of the soldiers. Men who have by
their conduct In the war and by their present -
ent disability earned a perfect title to all
the consideration now shown themn deserve
something better than sleeping on floors or
overcrowded In basements , etc How to se-
cure time speedIest relief for these feeble
and worthy men In time for them to profit
by It deserves the most serious consideration.
Everywimero the report says there was talk
or time unprecedented pressure for admls-
810n to the heme. In conclusIon General
Brecllnrlge Invies particular attention to
the enthusiasm , zeal and general efficiency
or the officers conducting tie affairs or the
branch homes and to the marJeed economy
and efciency which they have attained In
the maters most nearly affecting the wel-
fare or comfort or the memhers.
