It was learned, however, that the recorder’s opinion.which was nearly if not quite ready for on, Was quite long, and comprised igh anyalsis of the evidence taken dur- ing the trial and offered on the application for a retrial, ‘The recorder soon returned to his private room and it was given out that he would not hear any cases today, He was understood to be putti ing touches to the opinion, and it was announced that the decision would be filed with the clerk of the court when com- pleted, probably Inter in the day, and would then be made public.

WHY THE PETITION WAS DENIED. ‘The decision takes up fifty-two pages of legal cap. It concludes: “A careful examination of all the facts and circumstances establisied upon the trial of this cause, as well as of the additional facts. «= which have been presented upon this __ motion by way of newly discovered evidence, leads me to the conclusion that if the defendant had pro- | | duced the so-called newiy discovered evidence | or so much of such evidence as couid be legally { admitted upon the trial if would not have changed the verdict that was rendered against bim. The motion therefore is denied.” ' ¥efore this the recorder quotes Judge Gray | of the court of appeals. He says then: “In cetermining this motion I must not only state the fxcts in the morning papers and the papers read in opposition to the motion, but I must also take into consideration the testimony and proceedings taken upon the trial and the result arrived at by the court of appeals in its determination in | the appeal from judgment, which was against | the defendant.

They saw the President at once and were with him for afew moments in his private room urging upon him the pro- | priety of granting at least a brief respite to the condemned man. A few of the better known cailers during the forenoon were the Secretary of State, Senator Mitchell of Wisconsin, Senator Jones and Rep- resentative MeRae of Arkansas, Senator Cam- den and a party of friend Wilson of West i Mr. Fred Opp of T lock of Georgia, For- man and friende, Cabie, Senator Palmer,Senator Turpie, Senator Dolph, Senator White, Senator Proctor, Senator Teller, Senator Wolcott, S ator Gordon, Senator McPherson, Smith, Representatives Washington and Wheeler, with a party of friends, Rev.

He puiled bis big overcoat up as far as possible about his ears and left the White | House in store. harry, heading for the nearest hat This was the second loss of the sort that has occurred at the White House this week. | THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS CALL.

Yesterday all the city appeared to turn out to see the dogs, and last night the crowd was even larger. The evening appeazs to be the more popular time to attend the ehow, probabiy on account of the brilliant appearance of the hall at that time, when the thousand electric lights extending ‘across the roof make the scene an animated one. Last night the great dog Imperator arrived | and was the center of an admiring crowd. He \aisioo and "ahs pair make the finest exhibit of the great Danes that have been together for two years. Society was well represented at the show today and the fashion- able thing now appears to be to make up dog show parties with a luncheon or dinner after the ghow has been seen. The performance of the trick dogs which occurs every afternoon and evening 1s one of the features of the show. LIST OF SPECIALS COMPLETED.

From its action today it is evident that the Senate intends taking its time im the matter of confirming appointments. It was snpposed that as soon as the committees were reorganized the nominations so far would receive prompt action, nd that an executive session would be bad to- day, At the previous session it was ordered that as soon as the committees had been ap- pointed the nominations should be referred, and | those sent in by the President up to date ure now in the hands of the committees. ‘These might have been considered this morning in committee and confirmed today, but the ad- journment of the Senate until’ next Monday makes it impossible for any of the officials named by the President to assume their duties until the middle of next week, A promient Senator on the democratic side said this morning that the Senate would not be in any great burrs to go into the business of conti ns and intimated that would wait until the elect ive officers of the Senate bad been re- organized, if it is determined w do this at once. As soon as this was done, be «aid, the Senate would confirm every nomination sent to | it up to that time. FICERS CONFER, The Object Being to Secure Co-operation Between State and Local Officers.

NO LONGER | The Kepublican Senators Are Deserted by Ofice Seekers, The change that has come over the Senate was patent to the most inexpe rienced observer today. As soon as the body had a d today after its brief session the arms ice seekers who have been thronging the corridors for days past found | entrance and opportunity to see their Senators. | And they all found their way to the demo- jeratic side of the chamber with the re- |sult that nearly every Senator weated there | was soon surrounded by a group of wisttul- jeved men or was obliged in self-defense | to tiee to the retiring rooms or the committee rooms. On the other side of the chamber the republican rs eat at their ease and were unmolested observers of the scene. Some of | | them jokingly complained that they bad lost | pe and the = leaders like j au Manderson, Frve and others, who | Tarely have a moment to themselves, had leisure today to sit quietly and commiserate with their hard-beset colleagues on the democratic side. Several of the republican Senators talked earnestly with Senator Stewart, possibly in expianation of the party necessity which bad impelied them to drop him from the minority membership im the appropriations committee. If he fecis any soreness over this matter | Senator Stewart manages to conceal it very J effectually. He professes to be entirely satisfied with his situation, being at liberty to vote with either party or against any measure which doce | not commend itself to his own judgment, irre- spective of party considerations. —_———.
