SENATOR RoBERTsoNs COMMITTEES.

THE MINORITY PRETTY WELL. sATisFIED-A FEW
SENATORS COULD HAVE WISHED THINGS OTHER
wIsE-MtNY IMPORTANT COMMITTEES GEEER-
ALLY COMMENDED.
lBY TELEGRAPH TIE TRIDUNE1
ALBANY, Jan. 11.-There were a few changes
made by Senator Robertson after midnight last
night in his list Of committees teegTaphed to The
TRIBUNE. Tie transfer of the most Importance was
that by which Mr.. Prince and Mr.. Rogers exchanged
places, Mr. Prince being placed at the head OF the
Privileges and Elections Committee, and Mr.. Rogers
at that of Commerce and Navigation. Mr.. Prince had
been DESTROYS of heading the latter committee.
and il was only at late hour that
the change was made. Senator Moore was placed
upon the Finance Committee instead OF Senator
Coleman Mr. Rogers succeeds Mr.. Harris on Claims.
Mr. Bradley took the place of Mr.. kennaday on the
Insurance Committee Mr.. Wagner was made Chair
man of Public Buildings instead of Mr.. Coleman.
Mr.. Carpenter succeeded Mr.. Sekreg on the Com
mittee on Retrenchment. Mr.. Morissey succeeded
Mr. Starbuck on the Committee on Villages Mr.
Starbuck succeeded Senator Schoonmaker on Priv
ileges and Elections, and Mr.. Hammond took tie
place of Mr.. SchOonmaker on Internal Affairs.
When the Committees were announced, Mr.. Prince
arose and declined the appointment of Chairman of
Privileges and Elections on the somewhat singular
ground that his own district lay close by that for
which the principal contest before his Committee
would take place. thinking that the relations be-
tween tho two districts so intimate that 1t
would be improper for him to serve on the Commit
tee The dcclination was tabled
The minority are better satisfied with their share
of the committees than some of the majority. Mr..
Princes dissatisfaction was evident and Nh Well
mans friends were equally disappointed at his fail-
ure to get the chairmanship Of Banks. Senator
Woodin's friends who still over their lead
ers defeat, are apparently not dsplcased at this
lack of favor with which Senator R0bertson's work
has been received in some quarters. The Commit
tee on Banks, however is considered very good
one having at its head Senator Coleman, an old rep
rcsentative banker and Chairman of the Banking
Committee of the Assembly for two years. The
other two members are Senators Wellman and -.
John, the latter of whom has been State Treasurer
and Bank Superintendent, and had had a vide
financial experience.
OF the other committees there is little criticism.
Those on finance, canals, insurance, and cities are
generally commended, while the Judiciary Commit
tee is the strongest of them all.
Senator Sellireg's appointment TO the head OF the
Railroad Committee was universally expected,
though not universally admired How the average
politician looks at il may be judged from the remark
oil a leading Republican: " oh, WELL" said he there
won't be many strikes before the Railroad Commit
tee this year. It's safe enough"
