Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, w;;s lected President of the United States Senate, and Congressman Carlisle, ol Kentucky, was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives. The republican senators met in car cns at Washington on the 11th inst., when they expressed the ir views free y, and were found to be practically unanimous against the adoption of any general policy of opposition, but weie agreed on the advisability of treating each nomination upon its merits. Opinions were expressed, and general ly assented to, that good mer appointed to office, because they were democrats, should be cou 'i. i led, except in cases where predecessors were removed on unfounded charges, brought for the purpose of making pretexts for the creation of vacancies. In sucl. cases it was urged that nominations should be held Bp to give the removed officials an oppor r nity for vindication. Sena tors who were present expressed tl.e opinion that this plan, for the present, trill gorern the course of the ie, ubli- Mr. Kinnear has introduced a bill in the. territorial legislature at Olympia, the purpose of which is to compel all railroad companies to carry on their business to the full extent ofthen quirements of the. public, else to have their property taken by some company that will operate the same. The pro visions of the bill are: If any such company, after having commenced operations, shall fail or refuse to oper ate its lines, etc., for the period of forty days continuously fully up to the re quirements of the public, or if such property or franchises are needed for a more necessary public use, then in either case the same may be condemn ed under the eminent domain law, by filing a petition to the district court and appointment of commissioners to Hi lnn of such OTonerty, and the proceedings to be similar to those oi taking private property for public use The purpose of the bill is to compe railroads, telegraph lines, etc , to con tinue their operation, or in case of fail ure to submit to have the some con tUmmd so as to al low anv other cor poration that is willing to own and operate the same to enti-r the field by paying the value affixed by the com missioners. Hade this uiu t,ie Pro" perty and franchises of these companies; are taken on the same principal as the property of individuals taken for pub lic use. Gen. Newton, chief engineer of the United States army, superintending the work at Hell Gate, says: "The im portance of the suggestions recently made by Tilden, regarding tiie present need of harbor defenses on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts cannot be over esti mated. As I have before said, pei sons are greatly in error who imagine that by diplomatic delays war may be avoided until proper preparations for defenses can be made. The modern system is to make war sudden, sharp and decisive, and to make the beaten party pay the expenses. Our impor tant posts should be protected by guns of the greatest power, mounted on re versible turrets and steel armored cas emated batteries. The monster guns now made can pierce an iron-clad two miles distant. The destructive power of guns is increasing beyond the buoy ant power of ships, so that vessels can no longer cany armor upon them suffi cient to resist penetration. We ha ve the advantage on land that we can make our batteries of whatever material construct ed, sufficiently thick to resist the most powerful guns that can be built. If the weight of guns progresses in the near future as they have done in the past, we will be using guns on land which can be utilized on board ship. It will take ten to twelve years to prft our coast in an adequate sta'.e .f defense.'' (FEOM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) Washington, Nov. 30, 1885. Congress will convene next Monday at precisely twelve o'clock. The con test for the election of a president pro tern, of the senate has fallen to the re publicans. Naturally there has been much discussion as to who it should be. Thus the death of the vice presi dent of the United States has awaken ed an interest in republican circles here indifference prevailed a few weeks aj;o. Senators Logan, Edmunds, and Sic ilian are the most prominent candidates for the place. Of coar e none of these gentlemen are making a canvass, nor lias any of them expressed any inclina don for the position, but the friends of ich are working for them. A sharp fight Tor the nomination is expected in the caucus of republican senators to be held this week. Some deluded democrats have ex pressed the hojie that the republican senators would elect a democratic sena tor to preside over the senate. They thought it would be more m accord with the eternal fitness of things. It would indeed be superhuman gen erosity for the republican senators to uake up to their political opponents e loss sust ined in the event w'lich occurred at Indianapolis last week. But such magnanimity will not occur, for the reason that it should not. Sen timental gush will have nothing to do with the choice of a president of the senate. Ihose who will make that choice understand that it is as much their duty to vote for a republican as Jt would be i they were making the original selection. The fashionable world of Washing ton has been greatly interested to know to what extent the death of the vice president will affect social festivi ties here. Of course the administra tion is in mourning. The white house will remain quiet, and there will be no entertaining done in the cabinet for thirty days. Then the black draperies which now cover the columns of the white house, and are conspicuous on the cabinet homes, the capitol, and all uovermneat buildings, will be removed The flags all over the city now floating at half mast, the old older of things resumed, and New Years day will, as usual, inaugurate the social season. President Arthur's first public recep tion at the white house was held on the New Year's day succeeding the death President Garfield. It was on that day that one of the foreign mini: -ters dropped dead at the whitehoute, and the reception was brought to n close in consequence. The death of Mr. Hendricks ais changes the social situation here. H wife would have been next to Miss Cleveland as leading lady, and she bad ntado evrensive DieDaratioii for SOcia -------- . . activity during the season. Mrs. Hen dricks is a very ambitious woman, fond of societv and political power. She is understood to ! as much of a politi cian as her hu -band, and far more ener getic. Her retirement gives her place to the wife of the republican senator who will be elected when the senate meets. The president did not make known his determination not to attend tl.e funeral of the lead vice president until Sunday afternoon. In his public state ment for declining to go, he said that in the first moment of the. .-hock cf Mr. Hendricks' death la yielded to his inclination and declared his inten tion to be present at the burial. After wards he v as satisfied thai he was at fault and that he did not Lake as com prehensive a view (if duty he owed to the public as he should. He was convinced that' his strong personal de sire to le present had clouded his judgmert. He claimed to have looked at the matter in all its phases, and to have debated with his cabinet, his anxious callers, and in his own mind the question to go, or not to go. Mes sages from Indiana had much weight in persuading him to stay at home. Secretaries Lamar, Whitney, Bayard, with the committees of senator and representatives went on i special train. K. There has been some rivalry in the introduction of bills lor the admission of Washington territory as a state in the Union, says a Washington dispatch of the 13th inst. Delegate Voorhees, of the territory, said his bili contained a provision regulating corporations, while Senator Dolpb's bill was silent on this question. In reply to tins Senator Dolph said Voorhees had never seen his bill, and could not thereto! e describe its provisions, that his asser tions were purely speculati ve. Senator Dolph denies emphatically that his bill contains a single clause favorable to monopoly, as charged by" Voorhees. Both bills have been introduced, and a study of them shows that Voorhees statements were unfounded. Dolph a lill contained nothing favorable to monopolies, but Voorhees' has certain provisions which are intended to limit monopolies.
