A.Probability That Coif man Will Be^Confirmed as Secretary of Agri^^culture^Nominations Which^Will Not Be Acted Upon.
Washington, Feb, 12. ^ Among the^senatt* bills reported from the roiuuiittee^and placed on the calendar was one to pro^ide for ttie enforcement of quarantine^awa ami fur theentahltiihmentor a national^board of health. The followliiK house bill^was taken from the calendar and passed:^training the right of way to the Tina Land^ami Water company acroaa the Kurt Lo^^well military reservation,In Artzuna. The^senate then priK*e*^ded to eiecutlve bunl^iipss. Within tive minutea executive busi^^ness was transacted and legislative bus!^ness resumed. K\arts gave notice that as^soon as the naval appropriation hill was^disposed of he wouiif ask the senate tn^oncur in the resolution reported from the^omuuttee on privileges and elections as to^utrages in Washington county, Texas,^and directing that a committee revise th^^existing lawa regulating the eleetiuu of^members uf congress.
Thehcnatv tlten resumed consideration^of the naval appropriation bill, the pending^liieMion being on Chandler's aiin inlm^ iit^o strike out the words requiring the new^rulsmg monitor to he constructed of the^ype sml under the plana and s|tecihcations^Of Thnmas, of Illinois.
Chandlercoutinued his argument In sup^^port ot the ameiidinenl. His uiiderstanding^was that Thomas merely enumerated cer^^tain ideas as a dislderatum in a ship, and^hat the naval oftic* rs now in the employ^ltient of the government made all lat ^le^signs, plans aud specifications. He thought^it alUigether wrong to put surl a provis^ion iu an appropriation bill, but if anybody^was to be recognized in that manner,^it should be the men who had taken^the ideas tin! deMgned the ship. Finally^the clause was made to read as follows:^One armored steel cruising monitor of^the type approved, and recommended by^the naval board in their report to the sec^^retary of the navy and b^ him referred to^and approved, in his letter to the chairman^A the committee on naval affairs of the^house ofjrepresentatlves, dated Jan, y, 1K8W,^to becoustructed according U^ the plans aud^speciucatloiiH fursashed by the navy ^!^^^pertinent, u^ be approved by the secretary^f the navy.^ Cullom said that Thomas^haddevottHl a good deal of attention and^abor, but he had done so for the public^good, and not from any ambition to as^especially identith ^l by name v\ it ti the ship,^and yet fie (Cullom) had a private letter in^n his pocket from a gentleman who bad^done clerical work in getting up the plans^and specifications, giving the entire credit^of the invention to Thomas. I'lumb com^pliinenti-d the present administration ol^the navy department, lie was glad Ui say,^in the cloning ilaysnf the administration,^that the navy department had been well^administered, not only In the sense that^there bad been a stimulus given (so far as
eeakibe gtrea byeaeeuttve direction) to
SVerytbtaflthat went to the upbuilding ol^the navy, to pntcurlng the beat type ol
hip.to the stimulation of the highest^form ot manufacture, but more than all^that, to Hi^ LDOOoragemeol of individual^gt iiiub of li e peoph and b. the doing ^ I I he^work, not m the navy yards, where pollti-
alconsiderations might have influence,^mt in private yards. He was glad^to say that during the past four years the^navy department had been administered in^a practical, level headed. Judicious way.^III. result was that, quoting a remark^made to him by Hale, ^lie was prepared^to t^elieve that, within ten years, the^I'nited Mates would haw the best navy in^the world; not the strongest navy, not a^navy with the most ships, not a navy with^the greatest variety of ships, but a navy^with ttie most modern ships; with ships^best sdapted to the work they would have^to do.^ Hale said the Inundations for a^good navy bad been well laid under the ml^ministration of the department unnvr^Chandler's administration. The old plan^of spending large sums of money^In repairing old wooden ships^had been abandoned, simultaneously with^that which Chandler had pressed upon^CHiigreas in season and out of season, the^foundations for the construction of a new^navy, under modern methods, to meet^mom mi and present exigencies, lout hneh^laid. As a result the work had l^een en^^tered upon of building the Dolphin. Bos^^ton, Atlanta aud Chicago; and when the^present administration came In it had^found those ships In process of construc^^tion, with provisions made for other ships.^Much of the success which had charac^^terized the present administration of the^navy department, to which he was glad to^bear testimony, had been owing to the^republican party holding up the secretary^hands. The secretary has been careful in^his method*; he had encouraged American^Inventions, American enterprise and^A in* m an skil!, and now the Cnlted^Mates had some of the best ships that were^to be found to-day on the waters of the^globe.

Amessage from the president transmit^ting a report from the secretary of stale as^to the seal fisheries of It* bring sea,was pre-^sented| read and referred.
hiart* asked unanimous consent that tn^*^unfinished business, the 1'riion I'actnc^funding bill, be laid aside and the report of^the committee on privileges and elections^as to ontrsgoa In Washington county,^Texas, taken up. Coke objected. Harris^remntist aUd against occupying the time^of Mi ^ senate at this inopportune and^tpausplclous time tn a political dis^^cussion. Mierinau supported Kvarts' mo^^tion and Morgan rcu^..nitrated and de^^clared if the debate were op-n Um republi^^can senators might as well provide for the^incoming pn-sldeut railing an extra session^of congress. Chandler commented^upon llsrris' remark as to^thta being an inauspicious moment^for taking up the subject, and said lie wor^^der*-d when a more appropriate time could^be selected than one when the process had^been commenced, in certain states, of kill^^ing contestants for seats in the house of^representatives. He proceeded to speak^of the assassination of Clayton in Arksn-^sas. I Jerry characterized the killing of^Clayton as a cowardly murder, aud said^the Insinuation that the people of Arkan^^sas were responsible for it, directly or in^^directly, was not true. The question was^then taken on Kvarts motion to lay aside^the Pari He railway funding bill and to^take up the report of the commitloe and It^was agreed to by a party vote^22 U^ If.^The resolution accompanying the report^was read as follows:^Resolved, That the committee on privi
opn
legesand elections be directed carefully to^revise the existing laws regulating elec^Hons of members of congress with a view^of providing for the more complete protec^^tion of the exercise of the elective fran^^chise and fur the punishment of offenses^against It, and to report to the next legisla^^tes session of the senate by bill or other^^wise.
Hsnisthen came forward with another^suggestion- It was that, in order to eronie^m:/^time ami to s void Irritating sectional^del ate a vote b^ taken at once and without^discussion on the adoption of the resolu^^tion. Kvarts said he should be glad to keep^the debate within hounds, but thought it^right the committee which reported the^resolution should be permitted to lay be^^fore the senate the grounds on which the^resolution was based. It would he optional^with tbe senators on the other slds to reply^or not. Adjourned
tha hoc sb.
Thesenate bill to enable the president to^protect the Interests of the Cnlted Mates^in Panama was referred to the committee^on foreign affairs, and leave granted to the^committee to report at any time. The^house then resumed consideration of the^^mslls-KUiott contested election case, a
longpolitical discussion as to the rights^and wrongs of southern elections, in this^district in particular, the political status of^the negro In the south, etc., ensued, the^chief speech being made by O'Kerrall, of^Virginia, aud was participated in by How^^ell, of Illinois. After the talk had been in^progress some hours the question of limit^^ing the debate came up, and the limit was^fixed at six hours for esch side, including^the time already t^ceupled.
Thecontestant,.suiall*,was then accorded^the floor to advocate his claims He said^It was true he bad been arrested in 1 w\^charged bv the democrats with receiving a^bribe in 1*7.1 He was innoceut of that^charge. He had been convicted and peud-^Ing an sppeal to the l uited States supreme^court Governor Mmpsou, without a request^from him, directly or Indirectly, had^grstited him a pardou. Reviewing his^cane, he commented on the fact that though^In South Carolina every Judge was s demo^crat, and every prosecuting officer was a^democrat, not a man had been brought to^court for all this bull-dozing and Intimida^^tion which had been charged. ^Let the^geutleman ou the other side examine^the records, snd if they came to th** con^^clusion that he had not been honestly and^squsrely elected, let them be honest lu^tin u convictions and vote against him. It^was said he was sn unpopular man, and^his vote had fallen off. Nu vote had fallen^it. but the management of getting in tuto^the box had fallen off. He (Smalls) had^lost his popularity becsn*e, when there^were rtOO republican voles lu the precinct,^the clerk put 150 names on the poll desk^Mini the surplus voters were drawn out. He^MippoM d he would have U^ go when the^vote was taken to-uiorrow. He would go^good naturedly, liecausc he would be up^again next year and look and see some of^the deinocrsfce going out too.

Washington,Feb. 12.^In the execu^tlve session of the senate this afternoou.^the committee on agric ilture favorably re^ported the nomination of Norman J. Cole^^man to be secretary of agriculture. Ob^^jection was made by republican senators U^^consideration st this time, snd a democrat^ic senator then objected to discussion on^the nomination, and under the rules it^went over until the next executive session.^It Is understood the nomination will be^confirmed, however, when it again comes^ttefore the senate.
Thenomination of Aislitant Secretary^of the Treasury Thompson to be civil ser-^vice commissioner In place of Kdgerton,^aud First Assistant lWmaster (tcncral^Stevenson to be Judge of the supreme^court of the district or Columbia, will be^subject to the general rule adopted by a^majority of the senate respecting politicsl^nominations. The objection to Stevenson^is said to I- in the fact that his nomination^is in violation of the republican platform^concerning territorial oflices: that they^shall he filled by residents. Thompson is^objected to on the score of extreme offen^^sive partisanship in tbe South Carolina
elections.
Dlffsranc*Bstwssn Housa snd 8snals Bills
Washington,Fib. 12.^The computa^^tions made by the treasury department as^to the prohsble effect on the revenues of^Iftsj tariff bill and the senate amendments^have been made public. They show that^the house bill would reduce the collections^from custom* $6o,.H^0,345, and from the In^^ternal revenue *T7.tlO.'JH4, or a total reduc^tion of revenue of a*7,l^tO,57tJ. The bill as^amended by the senate would reduce the^customs collections SIH,V7rt,hn7, and the In^^ternal revenue ireelpts $H3,W6,7HU, or $47,-^K*^.rtn7 in the aggregate.

ThaLand Grant Forfslturs
Washington, Feb. 12.^The conferees^on the land grant forfeiture bill had an^^other meeting to-day. At the suggestion^of IMumb the senate bill was then taken up^for detailed consideration, and about one-^third of it was gone over before the con^^ferees adjourned. Although It would ap^pear from this proceeding that an under^standing had been reached that would re^^sult in an ultimate agreement, there was^nothing said which would wsrrant the as^^sumption that Stone had abandoned his In^^tention to insist upon the adoption of the^amendment to the aenau* bill providing for^a test esse In the supreme court to deter^mine the power of congress U^ declare for*^fei lures.

LECARON'SSTORY.
TheEnglish Spy Tells the Parnel^Commission the Price He Re^^ceived from the Tories.
HOWHE MET PARNELL.
WhyO Donovan Rossa Wss Expelled^from the Irish Organization- Psr-^nslFs Attempt to Break Up^the Revolutionary Party.
London,Feb. 12. -The cross-examiua-^tlon of Lecaron was continued to-day. He^said he had visited Kurope tive times since^1W^7, sometimes In a professional capacity^snd sometimes unprofessionally. He re^ported himself to the authorities on each^occasion, except in iNeither O'Kelly^nor rarnell had written him. The Kenians^expelled O'Kelly, witness said, because he^had joined with 1'arnell in the open^ino\ement. O'Lcsry demmured O'Kelly.^Witness behi'ved u Leary was a violent^opponent to the league. Continuing, wit^^tiest said he delivered a sealed packet from^DeVot aud O'Leary to Kgan In Paris^iu IKM, and he acknowledged that^the security of the seals alone pre^venled him from opening the packages.^He again saw Kgan in America tn IKH8.^Later Kgan introduced him to Parnell iu^the lobby of the house of commons. He^conversed with Parnell and was compll^metited by him on his work. The Irish^Republican brotherbiHKl was then opposed^to Parnell, so far as the home organization^was concerned. Parnell complained of^this opposition, and said that the home and^sister organisation would have been ^ rip^pled baa they not obtained assistance from^America. At Parnell's request wltnerts^saw Devoy and Sullivan and two others In^America He did not write the result of^hts conversation with these men to Parnell,^because he had not been requested to.^Moreover, safaj bad Instructed witness to^write him. Witness' conversations with^Parnell had no reference to ICgsn. The^most important part of Parnell's conversa^^tion concerned his views as a revolution^lsts. lie declared that he did not see why^sn Insurrection should he unsuccessful.^Witness had heard this before from Kgan,^but coming from Parnell it startled him.
SirChat. Kussell, counsel for the Parnell^ites, and Sir Henry James, conns*! for the^Times, here announced (list they had^agreed not to produce the documents which^were subject to discusiion Friday last. The^government paid witness t'*i,000 between^Feb , IKflK, to Aug., 1KH0. lie spoilt every^cent of this for public purpose*. For in^stance, be took John O'NehTs I ^) 1! for^^.'76 to save bis reputation and to keep^him from becoming a defaulter. This ac^^tion gave witness s strong hold on O'Neill.^He had snent more than he had received^iu the public service. He had made no ar^^rangement* for future reward. The ('.^c. organization, which numbered 28,(^ou^members, deliberately and knowingly sup^^ported the dynamite policy. In the con^^vention of 1H8T one hundred and sixty-two^of the delegates present favored the use of^dynamite. The convention held in Madi^son Square (lardcn. New York, In i* I ad^^vocated the dynatiiiU' policyMi III van,^l.'iiuarney, Cronan, Sin y I he, Scan Ion,^Hick, Furlong and Crane were present at^l hat convention.
Lecaronproduced two photographs of^Parnell, which he received at different^times, both bearing Parnell's subgraph.^He said Kgan gave him his phoUtgraph,^which was signed ^Best regards,^ iu Parts^in 1HH1. Kgan also gave him a photograph^of leading member* of the h-agm* which^was similarly signed. Lecaron said the^convention unsnlmously agreed Ui carry^on a secret warfare. The V. C. wss^composed of the dynamite party,^apart from the O'Uouovan ltossa^party. The secret organization^was first conceived In lKns; the V. C. dated^from 1872. ltossa was expelbd from the^organization for Insubordination. He^wanted to rule or nun. The connection^between the supreme council and the V. 0.^was ruptured at tbe Boston convention in^IHH4, each organization claiming to be tin^legitimate body. Parnell reoue*ttMl wit^^ness to write to Devoy, Sullivan, Him*^and Carroll. Since hia examination .n^chief witness had received from America^one of Devoy's original letters. It was^dated at the office of .lames Keynolds, No.^41 Orange street. New Haven, June 24,^1KM. Tbe leUcr was admitted as evidence.^It read In part: ^I received yesterday a^short note from K. (meaning Kgani strong^^ly urging me to come over, but cannot un^^derstand why until I get your explanation^1 should like to come if 1 could^spare the time snd If my visit^would produce the effect anticipated. But^I fear It would not. None of us can guar^^antee anything for those on the other side^who arehfiMttle, but who, I feel certain, do^not represent the opinion of the home or^^ganization.There can be no chance till there^la a change of persons which ts sure to^come in time. All 1 could do would be to^tell K. and P. (meaning I'arnelh on my^own responsibility what would satisfy our^friends and make proposals. Parnell and^bis friends seem to misunderstand the dis^^satisfaction here. It is not caused by their^action In Ireland, hut by the action they al^^low their friend*to fake here In their name^Opinions differ a little on essential i^oluts,^but we cannot tolerate the kind of thing^begun in Buffalo. 1 will write again.
Lecaron*ald: ^The kind of Hung begun^lu Buffalo^ related to the action of Par^nelTa friend* In attempting in open conven^^tion to depose, disorganize and dl*rupt the^revolutionary organization. Witue** iden^titled an alleged speech by Parnell refer^ring Ui the latter's determination to sever^the last link binding Ireland and Knglsnd.

aMissouri Possibility.^Indianapolis, Feb. 12 -The politicians^have discovered that fieneral Noble, of St.^Louis, one of the leading attorney* of that^city, was among the cabinet possibilities,^lie Is named for attorney general. What^particularly recommends and renders pos^^sible if not probable the selection of fien^^eral Noble Is the fact that he Is not Identi^^fied with any party faction In bis state. It^Is said tbe withdrawal of Hon. John. li.^Henderson's name from the list of cabinet^possibilities was necessitated largely upon^these grounds. Hen.
