O., March 2.— ‘The senate at 2:60 o’clock, on mo- tion of Mr., Edmunds, went into ex- ecutive session and remained until 4:20 p. m,, and then adjourned, There was but little debate in ex- ecutive session to-day over the numi- nation of Conkling. ~ What was said was mainly on the demoorat side in ‘explanation of their vote. The vote stood 39 to 11; of the latter 4 were re- publicans and 7 democrats. The 4 republicans were Messrs. Hoar, Dawes, Morrill and Hawley. Among the 7 democrats were Messrs. Bayard, Beck, Johnson and Voorhees. Senator But- * ler was paired with Don Cameron; Lapham and Edmunds did not vote; Jfifler voted in the affirmative. Mr. Sargent was confirmed without opposition. Conkling has not arrived im Wash- ington, and none of his friends pres- ent know when he expects to come. They do not hope to know of his in- tentions as to confirmation until he has been here. PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE. The diplomatic and consular appro- _priation bill was taken up. It appro- ,rrutel 81,198,630, against $1,210,956 ast year. After an explanition of the bill by Mr. Burrows (Mich.), Mr, Whitthofrne (lenn.) mmial a long [ ch, favoring a foreign policy. .p:&r. Ellis (La.) gave not‘?z:e t’l’mt he would speak on the same subject at some future time. Mr. Whitthorne said it was a grave serror in the government to allow tinued, ‘‘till this correspondence is completed before he passes judgment upon the course of the present admin- istration, When the poper time comes for making closer the relations be- twoen this country and the republics further south we will act, and act promptly. In repard to the rights of American naturalized citizens abroad, this house will find in time that while it has been making this noise ul;:m this subject the administration has been quietly at work following out a course which if not interfered with by these noisy attacks in this house will bring about the release or trial of these men.” Mr, Carlin (Pa.) followed, eulogiz- ing the American diplomatic positions abroad, saying they represent the principle underlying of this govern- ment, which is driving from existence the words of emperor and king and giving the governments to the people @ erywhere. Mr. McLane (Md ) followed, urging that the consulate and diplomatic ser- vice abroad should be more highly honored at home by elevating its dig- nity, complaining that the standard of representation is not sufficiently high. ~Referring to Kasson’s expla- nation of the jurpose of the adminis- tration regarding South America, he said if 1t were courteous to brand any gentleman’s statement as ‘‘absurd” he should feel like characterizing this in that ~ manner. Regarding the question of an inter-ocean- ic canal he thought there was not so much occasion now to be anxious about it as ore. We had no railroads to the Pidlific, but when we have such a ode, he thought it ought to-be through a country with which we have a treaty, % A resolution was_offered by Mr. Springer (0ll) for printing 1,000 cug;eu of the Record of the Rebellion. ills were introduced establishing a relieved list for non-commissioned officers in the army; confirming to the state of Ohio title to marsh lands. A bill establishing mail routes was presented as amended by the senate. A communication was received from the president transmitting the estimate of the secretary of war of $84,000 tor the erection of a fort in Utah. In response to an inquiry, the pres- ident sent a communication 16 the house about the United States mints and their production, showing that the coinage at the mints have averaged $22,908,916 per month since 1878; foreign capital to be ussd in the construction of an inter-ccaanic ~canal on the Isthmus. He thought that the government should prepare for a coming illiad of woes unless she takes charge of the work herself. He prased 1n warm terms the foreign Eolin of the Garfield administration, ut o{lnwtermd the present admin- istration as under the shadow of Wall street. The speaker was applauded -at the close of his remarks. o Mr. Hewitt (N. Y.), speaking in favor of a vigorous foreign policy re- " " garding the rights' of American oiti- mens abroad, reviewed the history of #“%the subject for the past twenty years and charged the other eide with having wilfully neglected to aftord protection to Americans abroad, es- pecially those suffering imprisonment -on slight or groundleas charges, his line of argument being in answer to the remarks of Orth, delivered some weeks ago. He took occasion to pay earnest tribute to the perseverance, energy and high character of his colleague (Mr. Robinson) who had demanded and obtained in some de- gree the recognition of the rights of these men. . Hewitt called atten- * tion to the fact that the request sent to England six months ago for in- formation regarding our naturalized «citizens under arrest in foreign prisuns remained yet unanswered, and urged that these things should not be so lightly passed over, but that the rights of the men should be protected by this country. Regarding theques- tion of an inter-oceanic canal he did not agree with Mr. Witthorne, but thought our government should wel- «come European nations to aid in this work on the basis of strict neutrality upon the already expressed principle that the canal whall be open with equal rights to the commeroce of the nations, We should anaintain the principles of the Monros doctrine at all hazards, but never per- mit it to be uced as a cloak for private speculation Mr. Orth, passing to the- demo- cratie eide, replied with some warmth that gHewitt in thircy days after Ahe delivering of his speech had not fairly represented him. He then re- viawed his history of the democratic party retiring his claim, thatit had never done anything to protect Amer- dcan citizens abroad, Mr. Orth closed his remarks by a wefluction upon the course of the dem- ocratic party during the late war which brought Mr. Holwan to his feet with a question as to what he (Orth) was doing during the war while many democrats were fighting for the protection of the country, to which he responded he was on the floor of con- gren along with Holman, whom he onored as a patriotic citizen; whereat there was peace, Me. Kasson followed, referring to Mr. Whitthorne's remarks touching the foreign policy of the recent. ad- ministration as compared with that of the late President Gaafield. There had been, he said, no definite changes in the policy of the state department and none in the mind of the president. The fact was merely that the new secretary of state coming into office, found a critical state of affairs on the programme, which, if followed out, would pledge this country to an act which might the precursor of war. The result was he had seen fit to call a halt until he had time to look the field over, and the president had concurred in this action, The offer of aid from the Uuni- ted States fora peaceful solution of the trouble of Peru has neyer been withdrawn, after bis proposition for a wonference of the republics of t)is continent had been deflnitely with- drawn and the countries ofticislly the average cost of bullion per month was $2,067,805. A communication was also received from the president, transmitting state- ments of the offidial fees of consuls abroad. The committee on electionsreported on dismissing MoDonald against George, of Oregon. Adupted unani- mously. b SRS Adjourned at 4:45 p. m e CAPITAL NOTES CONREING. WasniNgToN, March 2.—A friend of Conkling’s said to-day Mra. Conk- ling was desirous.he should accept the supreme judgeship and she 1hought he would do so. - On the other hand a gentleman who recently saw Mr. Conkling expressed doubts on the subject. At any rate there is no doubt of his confirmation and then Mr. Conkling will be heard from promptly. Until then, however, he will neither decline nor accept. ONE OF THE LEGACIES, It is understood the president has under consideration the appointment of President Hinsdale, of Hiram col- lege, Garfield’s old friend, to the mis- sion of Hawaii. Itis claimed he will do this or give him some other place equally as good because President Gurfield promised him an appointment although he uever, so far as known, indicated what it would be.

There is great opposition to opening the Indian Territory in view of the prosent law of congress and treaties with the various nations, which diffi- culty would be obviated by the pass- age of the substitute and would not take away the rights of Indians, The ninth clause of the substitute bill al- lows any road the right to run over ita track by paying its fixed charges or an interest thereon, This would very largoly give railroads in the state of Texas and the southwest an outlet to 8t.

At the hour named the jury were brought from their room looking weary from their long service. The prisoner was brought in by the sher- ff, and he looked pale and anxious, appeared much more nervous then at any time during the trial, and for the first time during the trial, eagerly scanned the faces of the jurors, the attorneys within the bar, the clerk as he read the verdiot, and the judge. But few persons were present at that early hour, Amid breathless silence in the court room the clerk read the verdict of ‘Murder in the first degree.” The counsel for the defenss asked that the jury be polled. ‘“Was this, and is this your verdict!” was asked of the jurors, and each and every one re- sponded *‘Yea!” $ The jury was thanked by the judge for the manner in whieh they had done their duty, and were then dis. charged.

The Bullet, Fired by a “Labor- ing Man,” Failed to fake Hffect, And Her Msjesty For the Fifth Time Escaped. ASSASSINATING THE QUEEN. National Associated Pross. HER MAJESTY UNHURT. LoxnoNn, March 2.—The news that an attempt had been made on the life of the queen at Windsor this after- noon caused great excitement here, but the agitation speedily gave way when it was known lrmt her majosty was uninjured and the assassin was probably a crazy person. The facts respecting the attemptat assassination are very few. The queen was return- ing from London in her usual special; she desconded from it at Windsor sta- tion, where her carriage was in wait- ing to convey her to the castle; the rallway station at Windsor is a small building and with the exception of ex- traordinary occasions and by special orders, no precautions are taken to prevent the public from entering the yard which surrounds it. To-day the usual crowd of visitors was assembled at and around the statioz waiting to catch a glimpse of the queen, er train on arrival stopped on the right hand side of the station and her majesty, accompanied by her usual attendants, stepjed cut upon the platform and m anethr moment emerged from the «ppoalt’ door and advanced to her carri gow ~ A little crowd stood near, and & them was observed a miserable locking man who had the appearance of luborer out of work or a tramp. Just as the queen crossed the platform and was about to step into her carristre this man suddenly pushed his way to the front of the spectators, drew a pistol from his breast pocket and pointed it in the direction of the queen and fired. A shout of horror arose from the specta- tors and the man was immediately seized and disarmed, The shot was harmless. It touched no one. Judging by the report of the pistol it did not seem heavily loaded.
