NOMINATED BY THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS. The caucus of Republican Senators this morning nominated Senator Ingalls to be President of the Senate. There were 28 votes cast, of which num- ver 18 were for Ingalls, 8 for Hoar, 1 for Edmunds and 1 for Frye. Mr. Ingalls was thereupon de- clared to be thé nominee of the caucus. ‘The democratic Senators, without the formality of a caucus, Unanimously agreed to compliment Hon. Isham’ G. Harris, of Tennessee, with thelr votes for president pro ‘tempore. Senators Sauls- bury, Cockrell and “Ransom, the only democratic Senators who are Mr. Harris’ seniors in length of service, were consulted, and each one cheerfully watved any claim that he might have in favor of Mr, Harris, ‘The election of Senator Ingalls as presiding oft- cer of the Senate will not require him to surrender the chairmanship of the District committee. It will be a question for him to decide for himself as to whether he will retain it. Senator Edmunds retained the chairmanship of ‘the judiciary com- mittee during his service as_ presiding officer, and Senator Sherinan fs chairman of the foreign’ rela tons committee. It is said among republican Senators that after the organization ‘of the next Senate, when Mr. Sherman shall have been sworn in for his new term, that Mr. Ingalls will voluntarily resign the ey. pro tempore that Mr. Sherman may ave It back. But so far_as a STAR reporter could learn there has been no sort of understanding to this effect. The Senate can elect a presiding officer whenever it pleases, and it seems to be presumption that should Mr. Sherman want the ition after entering upon his next term that ir. Ingalls and the other republicans would be ‘willing to let him have it. The Retaliation Bill. 17S PROVISIONS AS IT PASSED THE HOUSE BY AN ALMOST UNANIMOUS VOTE. The difference between the Senate retaliation bill, which permits the President by proclamation toclose our ports to Canadian vessels, and the Belmont bill, which passed the House yesterday, 4s that the latter extends the prohibition to the transportation of Canadian goods in the United States by land, or the moving by locomotives, cars, &c., into the United States from Canada. An amendment offered by Mr. Dingley, rendering lable toselzure and forfeiture any Vessel of foreign nationality found engaged in taking fish of any kind within three marine miles of any of the Marine coasts, bays, creeks or harbors of the United States or within sea, lake or river waters of the United States, was accepted by the com- mittee and adopted without opposition, ‘The sub- stitute was adopted as an amendinent to the Sen- ate Dill by a vote of 138 to 123. ‘The Dill in this form then got almost the unanimous vote of the House—yeas 252, nays 1.

Nearly all the deficiency is made up of fees of witnesses and jur- orsduring 1885 and '86, and prior years.

Indeed, no member of the latter has been even In- vited togive evidence. Iam able to send you the following summary of the commissioners’ recom- mendations: The term of judicial rents fixed by ‘the land act at fifteen years should be reduced to @ statutory term of five years. All those whose rents were fixed five years ago would have the Tight to go into court at once for a revision of their rents, In all future judicial rents the term for which they will be fixed will be five, not fifteen years All leaseholders are to be permitted to go into courtand have their Judicial rent fixed by the land commissioners, Their exclusion from the benefit. of the act has been a source of bitter complaint, especially in Ulster, ever since t passed.

AS TO THE CONGESTED DISTRICTS, they recommend that the excessive population on the western seaboards should be reduced by migra- tion or emigration.

Disagreement of the Jury Expected— Power fal Speeches for the Defense. Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR. Loxpox, Feb. 24.—The trial of Dillon and his friends will close to-day. It is expected the jury will disagree. The only result of the expensive, protracted prosecution has been to afford at the expense of the government a rostrum from which the ablest and most popular advocate in Ireland could preach sedition. Some of the speeches in defenge of the traversers have been singularly eloquent and powerful. As instruments of propa- ganda they are admirably caleulated to cover the authorities with confusion. Against the combinea Wit, pathos and eloquence of argument of counsel for the defense Sergeant O'Brien's face of brass aid voice of thunder availed but iittle, especially as Healy had ingeniously neutralized the learned sergeant’s eloquence by admirably yt quo- tations from the flery rhetoric with which in 1882 he defended Parnell and the “sacred cause of agi- tation.” By Associated Press. ‘The Jury Say They Can’t Agree, Dvsuis, Feb. 24.—On the resumption thts morn- ing of the triai of Messrs.
