While no final action was reached it is under- stood that the republicans of the committee are against the resolution, and will probably pre- scnt a majority report recommending its. re- Jection. ‘The democrats will, perhaps, submit a minority report in favor ot the resolation. In anticipation of adverse action upon the resolu- tion Mr. Beck has procured trom newspaper files the substantial facts in regard wo the several nominations of Duskin, and he will sub- mit these should the Senate refuse to remove the injunction of secresy trom the judiciary commitiee record, ses The Pan Electric Inquiry.
