Spectal Dispateh to The Chicago Tribunés SenxoriELy, 1k, May Eh—The Senate met this morning at the usual hour. The Committee on Senatorlal Apportion- ment reported its fong-looked-for bills on Congressional and Senatorial apportionment. An attempt was made to telegraph tnom lnst nlght, when 1t was supposed that everythng had been agreed upon, but differences aross aven nt the very last moment, and it was not antil an advanced hourin the morning wien the matter was finally patched up. The Con- gressional scheme, as applied to Cook, Lake, and Du Page, Is confessedly thrown out ME AS A FEELER, In order to nscertaln whother it is possiblu to divide upthe four countles into fonr such districts with the expectation that they will return four Republican Congressmen. Nelther of the bills is the prod- wet of o caucus, but slmply of the Apportiomnent Committee, wud llable, therefore, to amendments aftor amendmonts before they nre done with.
