Washington, Nor. 29. Republicans are
to nlnht entirely confident that they will bo
able to seat Kellogg beroro tbe oloso of to
morrow's session, although It may vory
probably rnn ovor Into next day. Conover's
voto for Kellogg Is no longer doubtful.
Chrlsllanoy Is also promised for him, nod
thoro is almost positive authority for stating
that Stanley Maitbewn will likewise be fjucd
among the faithful on this question, thus
apparently insuring Keltogg's admission by
means or the casting vote ot the vice pres'
dont without taking into account tho possi
bility that Patterson may give tbe Republi
cans one majority regardless or Wheeler.
Alter a long debatr, Kellogg, or Louisiana,
and Butler, or South Carollua, were aworn
in aa u.u.Henators.
The nominal! m of John H. Harlan, to be
ataoolate luetics or the supreme court waa
confirmed, but a motion to reconsider was
entered, and this motion was leu pending at
adjournment. There Is good authority for
stating that the number ofaoaators opposed
to the appointment U small, and that Cnal
favorable action will ehortlbe voted by a
large raaorlty.
