Different Republican senators were called upon, but it is said that the committee scon found they were making very little headway and gave the mut ter up. The 'House On the Tariff. Washington, Jan. 12.—There was only a fair attendance in the house when it met at 11 o’clock, and after the speak ers’ desk had been cleared and the com mittee called for reports, without pro ducing any, the house went into com mittee of the whole at 11:15 to consider the tariff bill, and Brosius continued his speech, interrupteebwhen the house took recess.

Black concluded his remarks at 12:55 and the chairman in recognizing Mr. Pendleton, of West Vir ginia saw he would have recognized some gentlemen on the opposite side but for an arrangement whereby the Republicans had agreed that those in favor of the bill should speak first and then those in op position. Mr. Stewart of South Carolina offered in the house a bill appropriating $20,000 for the erection of a monument to desig nate the battle ground of Buford, S. C.

It was decided that the day should be spent in clearing up the ex ecutive calendar of all undisputed nomi nations, a great batch of these having accumulated, including a large number of postmasters. The effort will be made,to dispose of all these cases at once, and it is possible that the nomination of Preston to be di rector of the mint will also bo taken up and acted upon. Il' matters move along expeditiously. .An attempt may also be made .---tie th6 nomination of Wooten, ottoiTu aware, nominated to be Indian agent at the Nevada agency, against whom Hig gins has inaugurated a somewhat bitter fight. Before proceeding to executive busi ness the senate devoted about 30 min utes to general matters, in which noth ing more important occurred than the presentation of numerous petitions against the Wilson bill, and the adoption of a resolution offered by Mr. Allen, in tended to correct a supposed misstate ment in the report of the secretary of the treasury as to gold coin in the coun try in the fiscal year 1893.

New York, Jan. 12.—A special to the World says: “There is a threatened disruption of the Republican majority in the legislature. Murmurs of discon tent are heard on every hand.

Men have been appointed to important com mittees only because they were the per sonal friends of the speaker or because they could be easily moulded in the hands of Boss Platt. Such men as Keck, Prescott, Mat thews and Thornton, who were mem bers of the assembly a year ago, but who might as well have been in their rural homes for all that they ever did, are now at the head of the biggest com mittees. Such men as Nixon, Taylor, Burtis and Wray, whom the people sent as Republican members from some of the most important counties in the state, have been passed by. “The feeling of discontent has grown to such a degree that a prominent mem ber told the correspondent of The World that all that was needed to swing the majority over to the Democrats was a leader who could bring the discontented Republicans together and the consent of the minority to accept a pledge of sup port from them.” ASK UNCLE SAM.
