Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasninoton, D.C,, March 7.—The Repub- Nean Senators held a caucus to-day, ond came to a decision as to the polley they will pursue with respect io the organization of the Senate. That decision was that it would bo wiso for the Democrats to conslder before they attempt to carry out the progrnin which thoy have outlined, The Republicans have decided that It would be yery unjust for the Denwcrats to attempt now to organize the Senate and to appoint the Committees when thera ara four Republican vacan- eles, The decision, it is believed, went so far that the Republicans agreed that if the Democrats endeavor to Teorganize the Senate now thoy must do so by the ald of Democratic votes alone, and withont any assistance from the Republic- ans; that the Jatter will not furnish the usual list of names of Iepubitcans to be placed upon the Committees, and will do nothing to assist In the reorganization, This will make it necessary for tho Democrats to have present and voting thirty-seven Seun- tors. IN VIRW OF TIE VACANCIES they cnn appolnt the Committees without the vote of Muhone, as they will have a mn. Jority of a quorum. This action Is equivalent ton declaration on tho part of the Republic. nus that if the Democrats shall succeed now in organizing, the Republicans, whenever thelr yneaneles aro filled and they can galn the ono additional vote needed, will them- selves procced to reorganize that body, ‘The Democrats, however, notwithstanding the po- sition taken up by the Republicans, are de termined to reorgunize and appoint the Com- ailttecs, refer the nomlnutions immediately, and confirm them, and TO ADJOURN WIS WERE IF POSSIBLE, ‘Their Committes on thes Organization of Committees was in sesston during the day working out the Jit, and ex: pects to report ote oan adjourned Democratte canes tu-merrow, when the Hat will be adopted and the Republicans notifled of the fact, and bu requested to themselves furnish a ist of Republicans to All the places assigned by the Democratic caucus to the imtnorits, This ist the Re- publicuns will deeling to furnish. ‘Tho formation of the Committees In the Senate 4s conducted upon avery different plan from that whieh exista in the House, In the latter body the Speaker hus absolute contro}, and personally appoints all the Committees, In the Senate the Vice-President has NO VOICE IN THE MAT Nonnalty, the Committees are elected by ballots under the rites, but, praetleally, they nye appointed by the euucnses of the two partes, But nw suspension: of the rules, which way be necessary to elect the Con. jnittees, can be secured by a majority yote, a two-thirds vote not being necessary, as hn the House. ‘The Democrats will not only ine slut upon the organization of the Sonate and the appotntiment of the Committees, but are not ficlined to bo just in thy arrangement of the minority plices, nnd do not propose to give the Republicans the representation Which their retatlya numbers In the Senate require, s THERE 19 SOME TAL among the Kepuplican Senutors that, if the Democrats shall persist in this course, and bedisposed to attempt tu control matters witha Ligh hand, and to embarrass the Ad- ininistration, thy President may call an extra session fur the passigxe of the Funding bill, and thatthe Lepublleans will then organize both branches of Congress. ‘The Republicans Bre very confident that they cau organize the Benate, and that they with have Mahone’s yotg tothutend. ‘The question uf an extra session, however, lias not been auch dls- cussed yet in Administration clreles, A ren tleman who talked with Gen, Gartield yester- day says that “ the President ts STRONGLY OProseD fo entling nn extra acesion If it can be avolded. ‘The Denwerats certainly will use overs effort to prevent one, ‘The question of patronage alone and the control of the petty offices of the Houses of Congress woul des dermine thetr action in this matter, Same remarks recently made by Secretary Windom enate, however, are rred tous ine int) dleating that he favors ru extn ton to passage of a Funding bill, ‘Chore has, however, been stteh a ertush of olllee- seekers at the White House that no, detinit netion has heen determined upon fi the matter, Probably during the week om con- elugton will be reached, PROCKEDINGS OF THE SENATE, Wasinxatos, D.C.
