A .this moment Mr. Brady, of Vir

unanimous consent that he might be ac- !

Messrs. Bragg, of Wisconsin, and
Hammond, of Georgia, objected and the
matter was dropped. i
Under the call of States the following
bills were introduced and referred:
By Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, to pro

navy. . .1
By Mr. Blount, of Georgia, ;to en

She had improved so much as to be
able to go into society this winter, and
although still an invalid, she was in
comparatively , goad health when her
daughter died. She was aboui 51 years
of age. The body has been taken to
Wilmington, Del. , forburiat, ; and the
funeral will be held there to-
day. Her death will have a marked ef-
tect on tne social Jestivities at tbe capi

a week the White House and the homes
of the cabinet ministers, and withdraws
from society the President and Miss
Cleveland, the members of the cabinet
and their families. f
The President was immediately noti
fied of Mrs. Bayard's -death, and he at
onee sent Col. Lamont with a note of
condolence to the secretary, and later hi
the day Miss Cleveland called at the
house. There will oe no funeral ser

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
W8iiimito,, ilan. 31. The resolu
tion adopted yesterday by the Demo
cratic ; Senators in caucus formally prof
fers to the President the united allegi
ance of his party iu the Senate. This
is the first result of the efforts that
have been vaade by Republicans, under
the lead of Messrs. Edmunds, Logan
and Sherman and the President will
probably feel uuder obligations to these
gentlemen for destroying the prospect,
which at one time seemed quite immi
nent, of opposition to him on his own
side of the Senate The caucus held
yesterday was called mainly to consider
the Piatt resolution providing for the
discussion of presidential nominations
in open Senate. In the discussion of the
foregoing propositio. 1 the attitude of the
Republican majority toward the Presi
dent was frequently alluded to and it
was determined to embody in resolution
the agreement taci tlyrr i red at at the forr
mer caucus. The resolution binds the
Democratic party in the Senate to ap
prove the view and action of the Presi
dent communicated to the Senate
through attorney-general Garland in hfs
letter of January 29, 1886, and cordial
ly supporting the President therein.
The friends of the administation are
delighted with the action of the caucup,
for, as remarked, it assures the Presi
dent that he has the full strength of his
party bebiud him in the position ho has
taken. To certain Republicans the pres
ent situation is anything but agreeable,
for, as a Republican Senator remarked
yesterday : "I am afraid my friends
on the Republican side have gone too
far iu their pursuit of information. Had
we been satisfied with the verbal state
ments which wcjre furnished us concern
ing such appointments as were consider
ed improper, jwituout attempting to
force the administration to convict it
self of incousUtency. we would have
been more successful. As the matter
now stands, , we j have forced the fightitg
against tbe . President, and compelled
iuch Democratic Senators' as were in
clined to antagonize him to fall into
line, and thus unite their party in tbe
Senate, which until recently was badly
scattered." The same Senator admit
ted! that in his opinion the President was
correct in the s&aud he has taken. He
also intimated that, if it bad not been
made a striet party question, he would
not hestitate to sustain he President.
There appears to be a unanimous im
pression among; old and experieLced gov
ernment officials, whose opportunities to
judge of the relative merits of the old
and the new officers arc exceptional, that
the United Stales Senate does itself no
credit in permitting the dismissed offi
cials to precipitate a contest in a matter
where public opinion is overwhelmingly
on the side of the President. His action
in removing certain department officials
has. it is saidi greatly purified, and
strengthened the service. It certainly
does not inspire elevated thoughts to
see men who, have been discharged from
jne public sevjice banging around the
