At 12:05, after the reading of the journal, Mr. Cameron moved that the Senate proceed to the consideration of executive business, Mr. Van Wyck asked the Senator to with- hold that motion for a few moments, so that he ‘might submit a report from the committee on Mississippi river improvements, Mr. Cameron insisted upon his motion. Mr. Van Wyck desired to make a statement, “Not debatable,” said Mr. Cameron. Thereupon the’ motion togo into executive session was carried, “BUTLER HOUSE” THE A resolution offered by Mr. Allison was called ‘up and agreed to, as follows: “Resolved, That the following resolution, ae by the Senate July 5, 1884, namely: ‘Resolved, That the sergeant-at-arms and the architect of the Capititol be, and they are hereby, authorized and directed to rent and repare suitable rooms outside of the Capitol for e use at the next session of Congress of such ‘Senate committees as have no rooms, and that all expenses hereunder be paid out of the fund for the contingent expenses of the Senate, sub- Jeet to, the approval of the committee to audit and control the contingent expenses of the nate,” Be and is hereby rescinded, to take effect on the adjournment of the present session of the Senate.” ‘THE PROPOSED REDUCTION OF EXPENSES, Mr. Allison then called up his resolution pro- viding for a committee of seven Senators, to sit during the recess, to take measures to. reduce the contingent expenses of the Senate. Mr. Van Wyek asked how much would be the probable expense of the committee, Mr. Allison said that it was not intended that ‘any expense should be incurred. Mr. Sherman called attention to the fact that he had introduced a resolution the other day to rescind all authority for committees to sit during the r¢ but he would not press It now in the hope that this committee proposed by the Allison resolution would reach the desired end. He did not want the expenses of the Sen- ate reduced in a spirit of parsimony, or he would say demagogism, but with a view to the real necessities of the service. More Nominations To-day.

GEN, GRANT'S STRUGGLE WITH THE GRIM FOE THAT CLUTCHES HES THROAT--WHAT WAS SAID OF HIS CASE LAST NIGHT—MESSAGES OF SYMPATHY, 4. ‘Messages of sympathy and inquiry poured in on Gen. Grant’s family from all quarters yes- terday. To visitors the family denied them- selves, the servants saying they had imperative instructions to admit no one. Prompted by curiosity, many persons strolled through 66th street during the afternoon, stopping in front of Gen. Grant's house to gaze at the building. The shades of the, front, parlor windows were lowered all day. e inner blinds of the ‘general's sleeping room were shut, with the ats open. “About 3 o'clock Mrs. Grant, the general's wife, stood for some min- utes at the window on the third floor, and, after looking for some minutes at the watchers below, drew down the shade and closed the shutters. ‘The curtains in the general's library, or study, were rolled up all day, and the ladies of the household were several times seen in the room. Shortly after 4 o'clock Dr. Douglas returned to the house, remaining but a few minutes. The doctor was asked if he thought the end would come during the night. In answer, he said: “I think not; but the General is now passi through stages incident to the disease, and, frankly, I cannot tell if the end will come to: night. ‘The General is weaker.” growing weaker and At6 p, m.

I fear he is gong to choke to death. “If the disease reaches an artery, the danger of choking is increased, and death by that means becomes almost inevitable. The members of the family are now at the General's bedside, The doctors are there, too, but they keep back as much as possible.’ I fear the General Willchoke to death, it’s too bad.” At 8p. m. Rev.

EXCITED DEMOCRATS. Endignation at the Renomination of Postmaster Pearson—Talk of Demo- cratic Senators Opposing His Confir- mation—A Sem{-Official Statement of the Grounds for the President's Actio: The nominations sent to the Senate to-day were the greatest surprise that President Cleve- land has given his party. To say that the dem- Ocrats are dissatisfied is to express the preva- lent feeling in the party too mildly, To-lay’s nominations have added fuel to the flame of Party discontent and a regular conflagration may ensue. Thenomination of Henry G. Pear- ‘son to succeed himself as postmaster of New ‘York city elicited words of condemnation on every hand among democrats, Prominent Senators of the democratic party did not hest- tate to say that it was a great mistake. Con- gressman Sprizgs, of New York, sald that every lernocratic Senator who is moved by a feeling of allegiance to his party ought to refuse assent, to Pearson's confirmation. He deciared they Ought to go farther and fight the nomination to the bitter end, GROUNDS OF THE PRESIDENT’S ACTION. At the White House it isstated that the reap- Pointment of Mr. Pearson was made after a Tost patient examination of all the facts con- nected with the charges against him, and his answer to the same, which was ‘peers sub- mitted and read by the President. ‘The ap- polntment, therefore, may be considered a com- plete vindication of the postmaster. THE RENOMINATION NOT T0 BE A PRECEDENT. It is further stated that the reappointment of ‘Mr. Pearson will constitute a notable exception to the course which the President may be ex- pected topursue. The New York post office is the largest and most important in the country, and of interest to all the people and tally. to the vast business enterprises cen! in the metropolis. It is to-day a complete illustration of the successful application of civil service re- form principlesto an immense governmental establishment. This condition has been brought about very largely by ‘the intelligent effort of r. Pearson, and hes thus identified in the closest manner with this example of the suc cessof the reform, A RECOGNITION OF THE INDEPENDENTS. To retain him insures faith and confidence in the movement, which would receive a shock from his removal, His retention was earnestly requested by a large number of business men of the city, both democrats and republicans, and very generally by the independent republicans who did such good service In support of the democratic candidates in the last campaign. ‘This act of the President must not be regarded as indicating that in other cases those opposed to the party of the President will elther be ap- inted or retained after the expiration of thelr rms of office. NEITHER HYPOCRITICAL, UNPATRIOTIC OR UN- ‘GRATEFUL. In answer tothe suggestion that the re-ap- pointment of Mr. Pearson might cause great dissatisfaction in theranks of his party, the President is represented as saying: “The demo- cratic party is neither hypocritical, unpatriotic or ungrateful.” THE NEW MINISTER TO CHILI. ‘William R. Roberts, of New York, nominated for minister to Chili,is a democrat who has been somewhat prominent in the past. He has been in Congress and in the New York legisla- ture. It willbe remembered that during the sitting of the democratic Chicago convention a. telegram was received in that city denouncing the cliarge that Cleveland was unfriendly tothe Irish. at dispatch was sent and signed by William R. Roberts, In ithe asserted that he wasan Irish patriot before the traducers of Cleveland were born, and that the democracy had always been the friends of the Irish. Rob- erts was a Tammany man until 1879, when he refused to follow Kelly in his bolt against Gov. Robinson and was expelled. He has since been, connected with the county democracy and has been known as an active fenian. CHARLES W. BUCK, of Kentucky, named for minister to Peru, is an unknown quantity, so far as the Senators and public men of that state here in Washington ~~ cone ae, eee asked a STAR © wi ‘was, re plied that he did not know him. He added: “I went this moraii to Bayard, and protested, not against Buck, for I don’t know him, butagainst his being permitted to crowd out men who are known to the party, and who have been recommended by the demo- crats. Mr. Buck may be a very clever man, perhaps he is; but I don’t know anything im the world about him.” THE OUTRAGES AT ASPINWALL. Affronts Offered to American Citizen: Considered by the Cabinet—Consul General Adamson Urges the Rescue of Citizens at All Hazards—instructions Sent te Admiral Jouett. The course of the revolutionists at Aspinwall was the main topic under consideration at the cabinet meeting to-day.
