SENATE.

WASHINGTON, April 18.—Under tho terms of a resolution presented in the Executive session of tho Senate Wednesday, Messrs. Sanders and Powers, tho two Senators from Montana, yesterday morning drew for positions. Senator Sanders drew No. 2, and his term will expire in 1693. Senator Powers drow No. 1, and his term will expiro in 1895.

Public building bills wero passed, as follows Lynn, Mass., Sl'25,000 Mansfield, O., $100,000 Tuscaloosa, Ala., 840,000 Hot Springs reservation, Ark., $50,000 Mankato, Minn., 8150,000 Dallas, Tex., g'JOO.OOO Kansas City, Kan., 8200,000.

The bill for tlie retirement of JohnC. Fremont as a Major-Goneral of tho United States army also passed.

The Senate then proceeded to consider tho llouso joint resolution for the appointment of thirty medical examiners for tho Bureau of Pensions (without reference to tho civil-service law).

Senator Faulkner (W. Va.) spoke against the provision taking these appointments from tho civil service. Ho moved to strike out that provision.

Senator Cockroll (Mo.) said that he had hopod that some member of tho Republican party—the party of Civil-Sorvice reform—would have raised his head in the Senato in defense of that child of tiio party. Ho went on to Bay that there was a horde of office-sook-ers infesting tlie capital, and that tho object of tho bill was to reward spoilsmen of the commissioner's political complexion. If the Republicans intended to tramplo tho ci"ilsorvico law under their feet it should bo done in a bold, manly way. They should not skulk behind the pending joint resolution. Ho ohargod that tho object of tho pending moasuro was to dostroy and break down the clvil-sorv-ico law and system, and to do it indirectly, and not in a bold and manly way.

Senator Coclcrell called for the yeas and nays on Senator Faulkner's motion. Tho vote was taken and it resulted: Yeas, 18 nays, 22—not a quorum. Three Republican Senators Aldrloh, Hoar and Sanders—votod in tho affirmative with tho Domocrats.

Senator Hoar (Mass.) moved to amond tho amendment by inserting the words "under regulations to bo prescribed by tho Prosidont of tho United States." Ho said if tho bill was passed, amended as ho (Senator Hoar) proposed, It would bring distinctly to tho notice of tho President these particular appointments, and would require from him a new exercise of discretion. It was perfectly clear to him that the record of no party, of n® President, and, ho suspected, of no Senator or Representative, would be found to be absolutely In accordance with the strict letr tor of his declarations In regard to CivilServico reform. Senator Hoar expressed his belief that no party in tlio country would be hardy enough to put itself on a platform demanding the repeal of the olvil-servico law.

At tho close of the discussion Sonator Soar (at Sonator Faulkner's sugges-j •Jon) modified his amendment so as toi nako it read that "the examination [or tho appointment of flieso modlcal ixamlners shall be under regulations prescribed by tho President of the United States."

The amendment was agreod to—yeas, 38 nays, 8—Senators Daniel, Davis, Dixon, Moody, Plumb, Sawyer, Stowart *nd Teller voting in the negative.

Without finishing tho bill tho Senate adjourned. PROCEEDINGS IN TIIE HOUSE.
