Mr. Davis’ name is at the head of the list of nominations, and Mr. Hill proposes that no other nomination shall be considered at this session of Con- gress, if the Senate does not act upon Mr. Davis’ case. Henry Ward Beecher has rallied from her extreme exhaustion of yesterday. Rev. Samuel Scoville, her son-in-law, however, says that there Is no hope of her recovery, and the‘ death may come at any momen:. pamphlet and calling the attention of all the members of the committee to the above extracts, said that no doubt could exist in the mind of any one that Mr. Sands had in- timated that senators who had passed upon his bill in the committee on the District of Columbia were ruled by methods that should have no influence with honest men. He said that that document, deliberately prepared by Mr. Sands, was an insult to every senator of the committee. Mr. Gal- Inger wanted to know how it would be pos- sible for members of the committee to re- celve this gentleman, who had maligned them and who, if appointed a District Com- missioner, would necessarily have frequent occasion to confer with the committee re- garding District business. He did not think it would be to the interests of the District of Columbia to have such a man represent them. Mr. Faulkner, who, with Senator McMil- lan and ex-Senator Hunton, was on the subcommittee that had Mr. Sands’ gas bill in charge, also spoke against confirma- tion. He ‘said that Mr, Sands’ language was of an intemperate character and could not be overlooked by self-respecting men. A reference was made to the fact that Mr. Sands had furnished to Senator Kyle to be used on the floor of the Senate cor respondence between himself and Senator MeMillan regarding his bill and that this correspondence was the basis of an at- tack by Mr. Kyle on the committee and of the charge that Mr. Sands had not been given a proper hearing before that sena- torial body. : Mr. McMillan said that so far as ne was neerned he had forgetten about that little incident and that he had no 1] feel- ng toward Mr. Sands Lecause of that a tion. Mr. McMillan said that he hoped that Mr. Sands’ act in turning over the correspondence to Senator Kyle would not be used against his confirmation. He thought the committee should base its rea- sons on other objections. Senator ¢ Favors Sands. Senator sa of Maryland at this point in the debate came forward and made a = appeal in behalf of Mr. Sands Mr. Gibson sall that he was a member of the coramittee on the District of Columbia at the time Mr. made those charges, yet he 1 ling toward him.

Under the terms of Judge Cole's opinion the Commissioners could grant the permit. When the permit issued, he said, it was the purpose of the company to con- struct an anderground conduit rom the present conduit on T street; along T street to a point where the grading on that street stopped; thence by overhead wires-a dis- tance of about 2,000 feet—to the existing overhead system in Eckington. When the permit issued, he said, it would contain a proviso that as soon as T street is graded the overhead wires were to come down and underground conduit substituted, : A reporter of The Star asked for permis- sion to copy the opinion, but it was denied. Commissioner Ross stated that he had not scen the opinion, and when it came to him he should want to examine it very closely. Application Withdrawns This afternoon, however, the Potomac Company changed its mind, and sent the following letter to the Commissioners: “Gentlemen: Referring to our application for a permit, filed last week, to connect cur present subway by undergrouad wires with our Eckington public lighting, which was prompted by the fact thatthe receiver of the Bekington and Soldiers’ Home Rail- way Company notified us that after Mareh 1 he would be unable to furmsh us with steam to operate our Eckington plant, be- cause he will need all the power in shat station after that date to operate his elee- trie cars on the Washington and Maryland railroad, this road, according to its fran- chise, must be in operation by the 2d of March.

Some Remarkable Spurts of Speed That She Made During Her Tri From Newport. Torpedo boat No. 6, the fastest vessel in the United States navy, will arrive here this afternoon abont 4 o'clock. According to a telegram ve? at the Navy Depart- ment from Admiral Rrown, commanding the Norfolk navy yard, she left there at 11 o'clock this rning. Considerable in- terest is being shown in this vessel by naval experts and others. She has a re erd of 28.70 knots per hour, and can make even better speed than that. Her trip from me wport to this city has been made on fast time. She made a re- markable run on the sound from Newport to New York, and another one on ti ecean from New York to Norfolk. In the former run the Muth aft was permitted to run at about her natural draught, about 160 pounds steam pressure. But two of the three boilers were used, and only two- thirds of her minimum speed was main- tained.
