Brewer to the ited States Supreme Bench, Judge Dundy is now an United States district judge. It is generally believed that the Presi- dent has concluded to find Judge Brewer's suc- cessor in the ranks of the district judges and the Nebraskans are satisfied that as the Presi- dent took Judge Brewer off the circuit bench fer the Bepeeae Court so he will promote Judge Dundy from the district bench. GOOD WORK QUICKLY DONE, The Labors of the International Maril- time Conference Drawing to a Close. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO END THE SESSIONS BE- FORE THE NEW YEAR AND RENDER THE PRO- POSED EXTENSION OF TIME UNNECESSARY—THEIB RECOMMENDATIONS WILL PROBABLY BE ADOPTED, The international maritime conference is drawing io a close and the foreign delegates are beginning to count the days before the happy time when they can pack up their goods and chattels and sail for their native shores, It was hoped at the beginning of the confer- ence that the members would be enabled to eat their Christmas dinners at home, but it does not now look as though they would get away from here much before the Ist of January. A vast amount of work has been done in the con- ference, and the foundation has beeu laid for some extremely salutary international legisla- tion relative to th i and guidance of 6! at first that the gram of subjects would prove too long for intelligent discussion dur- ing the time set for the conference, which was limited by statute to January 1, 1890, ‘THE PROPOSED EXTESION OF TRIE, A joint resolution has been introduced in Congress, however, to extend the time two months, but the American delegates are confi- dent that they can get through with every topic on the list in the present yearp- ly be- fore yesterday in a session lasting from 10 o'clock until 5 an enormous quautity of work was done, several reports of committees received and discussed, and a number of amendments disposed of.

THE WORLD'S FAIR SITE. Proposed Hearings by the Sen- ate Special Committee. REWARD FOR SILCOTT’S ARREST. The House Offers Five Thousand Dollars For His Capture. A FLOOD OF NEW BILLS. A Resolution to Recognize the Republic of Brazil. ~~. The Scrate. Mr, Sherman, from the committee on foreign relations, reported (in conformity with the President's message of yesterday) a joint res- olution extending to the Ist of March, 1890, the time for holding the international marme conference, and after a brief explanation the joint resolution was passed, Mr. Platt, from the committee on territories, reported back the Senate bill to reimburse the state of North Dakota the expenses incurred by holding the constitutional convention in that state in July and August, 1889, and it was placed on the calendar. It appropriates $10,655 in — to the amount originally appropri- ate THANKS TO CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER. Mr. Hiscock, from the committee on the centennial of the Constitution, reported a con- current resolution tendering the thanks of Con- gress to Chief Justice Fuller for the appro- priate address delivered by him in the hall of the House of Representatives on the occasion of the commemoration of the inauguration of George Washington, the first President of the United States, and it was agreed to. THE SITE OF THE WORLD'S FAIR. Mr. Hiscock, from the committee on the quadri-centennial celebration, reported a reso- Vation authorizing that committee to employ a stenographer and to have hearings before it reported and printed. He stated, in reply toa westion of Mr. Plumb, that the intention of committee was to give hearing to the ad- vocates of the various locations proposed as the site of the exposition. MR. PLUMB DOUBTS. Mr. Plumb expressed his disbelief in the utility of such hearings. The only effect of them would be to give publicity to laudations of the cities of New York, Chicag> and St. Louis. He did not believe that a single Sena- tor or Representative would be in any way in- fluenced by such laudations. If hearings of that kind were to be entered on the exposition might as well be POSTPONED TILL 1902. Mr. Hiscock explained that it had been thought wise by the committee that the rea- sons and advantages put forward by the par- ties representing the various cities should be in print for the information of the Senate. It was not intended to prolong the investigation. The resolution was referred to the committee on contingent expenses, TO RECOGNIZE THE REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL. Mr. Morgan offered the following joint reso- lution, which was read in full and laid over till tomorrow: Resolved, &c., That the United States of America congratulates the people of Brazil on their just and peaceful assumption of the pow- ers, duties and responsibilities of self govern- ment based on the free consent of the governed, expressed in their repudiation of monarchic rule and in their recent adoption of a republican form of government, and that the United States of Brazil is by this act recognized as a lawful and rightful government, and that said republic is, of right, entitled to exercise and enjoy international comity and all the benefits of the laws of nations as a sover- eign power, and the benefit of all rights, pri ileges and advantages under the existin treaties that were concluded between the Unite: States of America and the late empire of Brazil, and that this declaration of the state of the public laws in the United States of America shall be ratified to the United States of Brazil by the president; and that the president by his proclamation shall require the people and gov- ernment of the United States and of the severa! states, and all persons in authority therein, to recognize the flag of the United States of Brazil us the flag of a free, sovereign and independent state. EXTENSION OF THE FREE DELIVERY SYSTEM. Mr. Mitchell, from the post office commit- tee, reported back the resolution offered by him yesterday calling on the Postmaster Gen- eral for estimates of the cost of extending the free delivery system to towns of 3,000 and 5,000 inhabitants, and it was agreed to. Mr, Evarts, from the committee on foreign relations, reported the bill for the relief of the Venezuela steam transportation company, and it was placed on the calendar. The communication from the President of the United States transmitting the report of the Secretary of the Interior as to the agree- ment with the Coeur d'Alene Indians for the purehase of certain portions of their lands was read and referred to the committee on Indian affairs, Mr. Plumb offered an amendment (similar to that of last session) to the Pacitic railroad funding bill and it was referred to the commit- tee on that subject. JURISDICTION IN CERTAIN PENSION CASES, Mr. Hoar introduced a bill to give jurisdic- tion in certain pension cases to the district courts of the United States. It was referred to the Judiciary committee. It provides that when- ever any application for a pension or for an increase of pension has not been acted upon within one yeur from its date, or has been re- ected, the applicant may file his petition in the livtrict court praying for the allowance of such pension or increase; that the district at- torney shal! appear for the United States; that the judge shall proceed to adjudicate the mat- ter, and that (if the application be allowed) the decree of the court shall be certified to the commissioner of pensions, who shall cause the name of the I sioner to be placed on the pen- sion rolls. Evidence is to be taken either or- ally or by deposition. itr. Hoar also introduced bills for a monu- ment to Zachary Taylor, changing the time for the ending of the official terms of the Presi- dent and members of Congress and for a prison and reformatory, which were severally referred to committees. Mr, Hiscock introduced a bill to reimburse the ag jie Generale Transatlantique for tonnage duties illegally exacted by the customs officers of the United States, Referred. MA. BLAIR’S EDUCATION BILL, Mr. Blair, from the committee on education and labor, reported*back his bill to provide for the establishment and temporary support of common schools, and gave notice that as soon as possible after the of the holiday recess he would call it up for action. It was placed on the calendar. Mr. Coke offered a resolution calling on the Attorney General for information as to the at- Killing of David & Terry by ‘Deputy Marshal ling of ‘erry by Depu' Nagios and it was coc tlre Gagamera Senate proceeded consideration of executive business, NOMINATIONS TODAY.
