The democratic Senators held a brief caucus this morning and unanimously agreed to carry out the program heretofore agreed upon for the immediate organization of Senate committees. ‘The rumors of a compromise with republicans for a di‘ {sion of the contro! of the Senate have bo substantial foundation. No such proposi- {ion was considered at to-day’s meeting prominent democratte Senators siy they have | not heard of any proposition of this kind from either side. THE CaUCUS DISCUSSION. The democratic caucus this morning dis- cussed at considerable length the subject of immediate organization. It was proposed by some Senators that the organization be deferred until the republican vacancies shall be filled, and then let the majority determine the con- trol. A majority of the caucus favored carry- ing out the program already agreed upon. They held that the extra sesston of the Senate had been convened by the President, and not by democratic authority; thatthe democracy are not responsible for the vacancies, and that the business of the session ought not to be delayed because of vacancies: that by the time the pres- ent vacancies are filled one or more might eccuron the democratic side, and they would have the same right as the republicans to ask a delay of organization on this account. One Senator moved that the democrats agree to equalize the four republican vacancies by withholding four democratic votes; that this proposition be submitted to the republicans with the request that, with this pent the vacancleg, they agree to join {n he organization a determine which IS entitled to it A majority op- {s, and It was rejected. ‘The caucus decided to go ahead with the proposed organ- ization, but a suggestion of one Senator that if the republicans would name a day, within a reasonable time, when their seats will be fall and they willconsent to take part fn the or- ganization, was tacitly agreed to. Tne caucas Gid not know of Senator Davis’ intention to decline the judictary committee chairmanship.

Mr. Hill was making the point that other vacancies may be made in the Senate by the President, after those exist- ing shall have been filled; that, for instance, Mr. Conkling might be sent to some foreign country to represent the United States, and then there would be another deman for further delay In the organization. Mr, Conkling retorted that it would be better to Send Mr. Hill abrosd, to which the latter re- piled that 1t would not please the President to Send him, and it would please Conkling too well to have him sent. Mr. Hill suggested that the President, who had created the republican vacancies, =. ualize things by appointing the same number of democrats to office.
