The Republican Members Meet In Caucus
To-day.
SOME OF THE PROBABLE CHAIRMEN
The Members of tho House Committees
Will Vot be Announced Before Satur
day Next, Making Another Week
of Inaction In That Body.
WABlir&QTON, Deo. 0. The probabilities
are that tho week In tho sonata this week
Will bo given up largoly to caucusing,!)?
all parties nnd that tho sonata dally
sessions will bo brief with little effort at
legislation. Tho Introduction of bills will
bo continued, though no work of consc
quenco can bo douo until tho committees
aro filled. Thoro Is nothing on tho calen
dar except two speeches, ono by Senator
Morgan announced for today on the Bohr
lug sea question, and tho other by Senator
Cullom on his Monroe doctrlno resolution.
Tho Republican caucus commltteo of
tho sonato will hold Its first formal meet
ing after tho adjournment of tho senato
today for tho purposo of considering tho
question of filling tho commltteo vacan
cies and solectlng chairmen of tho various
committees. Whllo nothing has been
finally agreed upon, It looks now as If tho
chairmanship of tho moro Important com
mlttoos would bo assigned as follows:
Agriculture, Proctor; appropriations,
Allison; coast dofonso, Squlro; census,
Chandlor; commerce, Fryo; District of
Columbia, McMillan; finance, Morrill;
fisheries, Perkins; foreign relations, Sher
man; immigration, Lodge; Indian affairs,
Pettigrow; interstate commerco, Cullom;
Judiciary, Hoar; military nffnlrs, Hnw
loy; naval affairs, Cameron; postofilc03
and post roads, Wolcott; printing, Halo;
privileges and elections, Mitchell (Ore.);
publio buildings and grounds, Quay; rela
tions with Canada, Carter; rules, Aldrlch;
territories, Davis.
A majority of thoso assignments go to
tho senators whoso names are mentioned
by virtue of seniority, but thoro aro soma
exceptions mado necossary by tho proba
bility of senior members receiving other
assignments. Senator Piatt Is, for In
stance, sonior Republican on Indian af
fairs and territories, and tho only Repub
lican member on patents and revision of
tho laws, and could havo his cliolco of tho
chairmanship of these committees but for
tho probability of his being given a placo
on tho finance commltteo, In which ovent
ho would surrender ills placo at tho head
of Indian affairs to Senator Pettigrow and
on tho territories to Senator Davis and
probably become chairman of clthor put
cnts or revision of tho laws.
Sonntor Mitchell will havo his cholco of
tho chairmanship of cither privileges and
elections or postolllces and post roads, but
will chooso tho first and will thus ndvanco
Wolcott to tho hoad of postolllces and post
ronds. On tho other hand, Senator Toller
Is at tho head of tho Republican member
ship of no committee, and ono of tho prob
lems with which tho caucus committee
has to deal is that of furnishing him with
an uccoptablo'coinmitteo. Senator Chand
lor is not a mombor of tho consus commlt
teo, but as tho existing mombors of tho
commltteo all get other chairmanships ho
Is enabled to take tho placo at tho head of
this committee.
Among tho Important chairmanships
concerning which there Is no certainty as
yet aro thoso of contingent oxpensos,
claims, education and labor, enrolled bills,
library, Pacific railroads, patents, pen
sions, railroads and revision of tho laws.
Thoro aro somo committees on which
memberships aro just as much sought
as chairmanships of others. Thoso aro ap
propriations, judiciary, flnanco, foreign
relations and commorco. If the Republi
cans organlzo Senator Brlco will rotlro
from the commorco commltteo and his
placo will bo filled by a Republican. Tho
usplrants aro Senators Quuy, Pettigrow
and Perkins.
It appoars probable that tho finance com
mltteo will be enlarged from elovou to
thlrteon members. In that event tho Re
publicans will namo Senators Cameron
and Piatt for the two places at their dis
posal, and tho Domocrats would probably
select Senator Dauiol as their additional
representative. Senators Wolcott and
Lodge aro slatod for foreign relations. Tho
momborshlp of tho judiciary commltteo
has boen but slightly discussed. There nro
two vacancies thoro, and It is posslblo they
may bo given to Senators Thurston and
Davis, or to Thurston or somo othor now
man,
In tho ovout of tho Republicans being
allowed to organlzo thoy will havo a chair
manship for each Republican senator, with
ono to spuro oven after tho Utah senators
shall tako their soats.
Tho house program this wook is a dreary
waste. Until tho commlttoos ara appointod
tho machinery of tho houso is blocked nnd
nothing can bo done, save by unanimous
consent. Any resolution that might bo
presented and It Is in this form that tho
sonsatlons that agitate the lower branch
of congress aro usually Sprung would go
down before a single objection. For this
reason no attempt will bo made to do any
thing until Speaker Reed announces his
committees, which ho now oxpocts to have
reaily ut tho end of tho wook, Thero prob
ably will bo but threo brluf sessions this
weok. An adjournment will bo taken to
day till Wednesday or Thursday, and
from that dato until Saturday, whon tho
committees will be announced. Tho Indi
cations aro that practically nothing can
be doue in tho wuy of thd consideration of
actual legislation until uftor tho holldoys.
As tho president is absent on his hunt
ing trip thoro Is no probability that tho
reply of Lord Salisbury's letter to Secre
tary Olnoy's noto regarding tho Venezue
lan boundary dlsputo, In which congress
is so deoply Interested, will bo sent to tho
houso this weok. There may bo an attempt
through a resolution to procure from Sec
retary Olnoy tho letter sent by Mm to tho
English premier Inst July and Salisbury's
reply received on Saturday, hut should
such an attempt bo mado It will unques
tionably provo abortive. Tho adoption of
euflh a resolution would roqulro unani
mous consout, nnd thoro Is no doubt that
somo f rlorid of tlio administration would
object to It as laoklng In dofcrenco to tho
prcsldont In his absence.
