Though Mr. Harris’ nomination for the post has not yet been confirmed by the Senate. the action of that body Tues day night leaves no room for doubt that it will be confirmed before July 1. The promised fight over the con firmation of Mr. Harris’ nomination was submitted to arbitration, and an agreement made to vote upon it June 25.
