Important Nominations on the List Zo-Day, The Senate. The Senate met at 1 p. m. Mr. Teller offered the following resolution: Resolved, That hereafter all executive nomina- tions shall be considered in open session of the Senate. He said: “I do not intend to ask a considera- tion of this resolution at this time; I merely offer it that it may be referred tothe committee onrules, At the next regular session of the Senate (if I live to be present) I intend to press that resolution in season and out of season. I have never believed that there was any reason why an executive nomination 4 | should be considered by the Senate with closed | doors. I am satitied that the great majority of the people of the United States, irrespective of party, are of the same opinion. I am tired of giving my reasons to the Senate with closed doors for the votes which I give, and of seeing in the newspapers the next day entirely different reasons ascribed to me, and not infrequently no reason atall. ‘I have never expressed a sentiment nor given a vote in the Senate with closed doors which I would not give in open Senate. I do not believe that any considerable number of Senators desire to SHIELD THEMSELVES FROM PUBLIC CRITICISM, or the public gaze, in matters of this kind. While I admit that, in considering questions of international relations, there may be, and fre- quently are, times when the Senate should sit with closed doors, on account of great public interests, I can conceive of no reason why we should close our doors when we are asked to pass on the qualification of men nominated for public office. I don’t desire to conceal from the public any action of mine in reference to such matters. On the contrary I am exceed- ingly anxious that when I exercise constitutional and senatorial duty here, I may execute it in the gaze of the whole world, or, at least of so much of the world as has the right to call me in question for my conduct—and that is the peop! ie of the United States. I be- lieve that the time has come when public senti- ment will not tolerate the closing of our doors on mere questions of confirmation. I believe that that P ee is one of the agencies that is calculates TO BRING THE AMERICAN SENATE INTO DISRE- PUTE and into contempt, for the people will believe (under the charges that are made day by day that we are afraid to express our views in Public) that there is some truth in them, THE NEWSPAPER MEN, with all their zeal, must find some reason for our conduct; and very frequently they put in our mouths things we never have said and never have thought. While there may be good reasons and strong reasons for the rejection of acandidate the public is not aware of those reasons, which it has a right to know. Therefore, I wish to give notice now that when we assemble here in in regular session { shall insist (sofar as can) that this uestion shall be presented to the Senate, and that we shall have a vote on this branch of it, at least, clear and independent of the question as to what shall be done with public treaties and public affairs pertaining to international aw. THE RESOLUTION WAS REFERRED. The resolution was referred to the committee on rules, THE DEATH OF JOHN BRIGHT. Mr. Stewart offered the following resolu- tion, which was laid over till to-morrow: Resolved, That the Senate has learned with pro- found sorrow the death of John Bright, and, re- membering his constant and unwavering friend- ship for the United States, desires to join with the parliament of his own country in paying a grateful tribute to one who, during his long public career, was conspicuous in his devotion to the cause of freedom and humanity. NO NOMINATIONS AFTER TO-DAY EXCEPT— Mr. Sherman (with Mr. Ransom) reported that the committee appointed to wait upon the President#nd inquire whether he hadanyfurther communication to make to the Senate. had performed that duty, and had been advised b: the President that he would to-aay communi- cate to the Senate certain messages; but that, after to-dr y, no other messages would be sent except of a formal character, to fill vacancies as they arise. COMMITTEEES TO SIT DURING THE RECESS, Resiutions were reported from the commit- tee on contingent expenses and agreed to, au- thorizing the committees on epidemic diseases and on patents to sit during the recess—the former to continue its investigations into the yellow fever question and the latter to inquire into the system of issuing patents, SECRET SESSION, The Senate then, on motion of Mr. Mander- son, proceeded to the consideration of execu- tive business, IMPORTANT NOMINATIONS.

Action of the Republican Caucus, The subject of providing secretaries for the Senators whose committee clerks are not on the annual roll was the occasion of another re- publican caucus to-day. Senator Jones, chairman of the committee on contingent expenses, stated that if there were no more secretaries desired than are provided for by resolutions already introduced and now pending, authorizing committees to sit in re- cess, the contingent fund would permit of their employment. But if it is intended to give every Senator assistance of this kind the con- tingent fund will show # deficiency of $40,000 by December 1 and be exhausted against all demands from that date until June 30, 1890, Resolutions are pending now authorizing the following committees to sit in recess: Patents, epidemie di , en 2 bills, tran tion routes to the seal -d, civil service, ad- ditional accommodations for the library, coast defenses and celebration of the centennial of the Constitution and discovery of America. After hearing Senator Jones’ statement the caucus authorized him to report favorably upon such resolutions as seemed to him necessary to ‘he committees on patents and epidemic diseases are directed in terms by the resolutions to conduct investigations into the subjects com- mitted to their charge. GEN. BUTLER AND MR. BROWNING Personalities Cause a Sensation in the Equity Court. This morning in the Equity Court, Judge Cox, the motion of Colonel Sam Strong, in the case of General Butler against Strong et al. to dissolve the restraining order against tying up the awardin the Treasury was on argument. Colonel Cook and Mr. F. T. Browning appeared for Strong and General Butler and Mr. 0. D, Barrett resisted the motion. When Mr. Browning was speaking, General Butler was about to explain somefof the alle- gations when Mr. Browning said “I thought that we had the opening and the closing.” General Butler wel della! his hand “I don’t pro to be snapped at by a cur.” Metkopstne juickly, “and I don’t propose to be bull-dozed by a bull-dog.” ‘The court rapped to order and remarked “Gentlemen you must not indulge in personali- ties.” The argument then proceeded without fur- ther interruption and the court declined to dissolve the injunction.

A Newspaper Man’s Perilous Ascent Be- fore it was. Completed. Special Cable Dispatch to Tue EVENING STAR. Lonpox, April 1.—The Eiffel tower in Paris, 1,178 feet high, was completed yesterday. It was up to the 1,000 feet mark last Wednesda: Tascended with Clemenceau, Admiral Maxse and Miss Maxse, a girl of sixteen, who was the first lady to reach that altitude. At 1,000 feet the winding stairs stopped. I crawled across | the blank, over the abyss, on hands and knees, On rising to my feet I stumbled, but fortu- nately regained my balance and did not fall off the exposed platform, but the moment was somewhat ghastly. Then Clemenceau and I began the ascent of ladders, about thirty feet high, The wind was blowing hard, and there was @ slight shower of hail. It was bitterly cold, The ladders shook under the ascent. I | persuaded Clemenceau to desist, His hands were so cold he might have slipped, and the consequence to the republic would have been TOO CALAMITOUS FOR DESCRIPTION. We came down the ladder and felt much more comfortable when we were once more on the etaircase. The ascent by elevators will be ac- complfhed in five minutes, To walk up the spiral staircase requires forty minutes, the electric light on the summit is lit it is ex- pected that a person can read a Bewspaper 7 miles off. The light wiil be visible tor 40 miles, ‘There is a restaurant on the first landing at the height af the tower of Notre Dame. The tower is very graceful and is visible from all parte of Paris.

The house is a small two story frame building two doors from Walnut street, and Mrs. Kinlein with her children occupied the three rooms on the lower floor. Up stairs an old man named Jung lived with his son and two daughters, and they were awakened about 2 o'clock by the smell of smoke, which seemed tocome from the room below. The son got up, and Going outside, saw smoke pouring from the lower rooms. He smashed in a .window, but an no response, and then turned in a fire arm. IT WAS AN AWFUL SIGHT that met the firemen who arrived at tho house soon after. On the lower floor there were three rooms, and in the middle room, the doors of which had been tightly closed, the charred bodies of Mrs. Kinlein and two sons, John and George, aged six and four years re- spectively, were found. Later the body of the infant son, Richard, aged two years, was found in the basement, a hole having burned through the floor, through which the body had fallen. There was every indication that the mother had deliberately burned herself and her chil- dren to death. "They had all occupied the same bed. The smoke from the fire, built beneat it, had smothered them all. ‘Mrs. Kinlein body was terribly disfigured. The clothing and hair had been burned off and her two feet were nearly gone. The children, too, were horribly burned. Mrs. Kinlein’s husband, wh> was a carpenter, died about ten months ago, and she supported herself by taking in washing. —_—— The Missionaries Safe.

San Franctsoo, April 1.—In naval and ship- | ping circles the question has been dis- | cussed as to the best and earliest means for | Setting supplies from here to Samoa if this gov- ernment should deem it advisable to send them to thoshipwrecked officers and seamen, The steamer Zealandia, which sails foryNew Zealand pril 6, is a merchant steamer of the only line passing near the Samoan islands, and she ear- | ries nearly 1,000 tons of wheat alone for Sydney and Melbourne, owing to the shortage in colo~ nial wheat crops. She will therefore not have much room for additional freight. Itis thought, | how that the Navy department could ar- range to have the Zealandia proceed to Apia om | this trip instead of making Tatuite her port of | call, This would enable her to render any ur- | gent assistance, also procure later and more | definite advices from Apia and Admiral Kim- berly. The New Zealand government has an agent here, and such arrangements would have | to be made by the United States and the | Oceanic steamship company. ol BIG STRIKE IN BUFFALO.

An Interview with the Postmaster General. From the Philadelphia Times, Postmaster-General Wanamaker's speech made at the dinuer given him by Mayor Fitler last week has created a good deal of talk in Washington, especially that part of it where he referred to combining business with politics. In speaking Saturday of his scheme he said: ~I suppose a great many practical politicians will say to elevate the business of the govern- | ment is visionary. I hope that I will not find this so. Iwant the people to understand that business can be combined with politics; that the best interests of the people can be served by business men who may also be politicians, For instance, if there are two ward-workers aj plicants for the same position, 4 simply a politician and the other is « politician and has character aud business ability, I am im favor of giving the place to the man who hes business tact and character as well as sagacity. This would elevate politics and the conduct of the business of the government. I believe there are plenty of good business men who are good party men, who can be got to fill the positions, which Iam in favor of giving to the men in the party. TO STRENGTHEN THE PARTY. “We can get more votes for the party in this way than by the old system, I believe the peo- ple would vote for the party as they never have, The people would respect the party and the government as they do not to-day. I think it is a grand idea and I think it can be carried into execution. In four years the people could be shown how much better and healthier the politics of the nation would be by not simply running the government's business on the ciple of a political machine. At any rate, I am going to try, and that means I am going to do my best. If I were going to start a ne to-morrow I would look around right away the best man I could find to run the ~ My first thought would be, where can I get a first- class editor who will be faithful to the industrious and on the lookout for m I wouldn't consider whether I lik the man ——, personally, if I knew he was o irst-class man to run that shouldn't the business of the paper.
