The Senate will hold a caucus on Tres iay
ne,t TO settle upon tie committees for the ses-
zion, and it is understood that it will be pro-
posed TO abolish the Committee on the District
Of Columbia, and transfer its business to the
Committee on Territories. IL seems 70 u
that the Senate should not be in haste
to crop the District Committee. Though
we have territorial government it will not
come into working operation for some months,
and even when IL does there will be considerable
District matter for Congressional legislation,
enough TO furnish businessfor q special com nit
tee. And though our new government is styled a
territorial government, its form and powers are
so different from tie ordinary territorial gov
ernments Of the country that its affairs will not
properly come under the charge of the Com
mittee on Territories.
