After the adjournment of the Senate today the committee of the democratic caucns to | whom was referred the reorganization of | the committees went into session again and had not adjourned when Tyr Stan went | to press. Yesterday afternoon the committee was in session for six and a hilf hours, and though they did not complete their work con- | siderable progress was made, so that the com- | mittee begins to see its way clear. It can be stated with positiveness that noth- ing has been done in the matter of the elective oficers of the Senate and — nothing will probably be done until the com- mittees are formed. The committee on priv leges and elections will be the first committee to be organized in order that the eases of the Senators chosen by the gov- ernors of states where the "legislature failed to elect can be acted on at once and the full Senate organized. Iu order that the nominations sent in by the President may receive action at the earliest possible moment is neoestary that the caucus committee finish ita work, but they wil not be able to report until next Monday when the Senate again meets." It is understood that while the precedents of the Senate will be adbered to in many re- spects, the chairmanships will not go in every case to the ranking Senator of the democratic membership of the commi' tee in the last Senate. The geograph- ical location of the members is being con- mdered iti thé ‘distribution of the favored places, and am innovation is being sug- gested in the shape of a scheme — whic! will put Senators at the head of commit- tees who were not at the head of the re- cent minority list, but who, by reason of their qualifications. are best fitted todo the work that will come before those committees. It is also not unlikely that one or more minor- ity committees of the Senate may be wiped out, and if this és done it will reduce the number of Ps the republicans will have.
