THE SENATE COMMITTEES. - 1t is ex-
tremely probable that within a few days a
caucus OF the Senate republicans will be held
for the purpose of re-arrang ing Senate COM
mittees, caused by the u cath of snator
Morton. Many OF the Sena tors favor no i'm.
mediate action on the subject, be iieving that,
out of respect TO the memory OF the deceased,
the question should be deferred at least thirty
days. Senator Mitchell, who Is chairman OF
the committee on railroads, and is also sec
ond on the committee Of privileges and cleo
TORS, of which Mr.. Morton was chairman, is
extremely anxious to be relieved from the
duties which devolye on him as actual
chairman OF both com mlttees, and is IN favor
OF holdIpg caucus to decide the matter this
week. Senator Morton was second on the
committee OF foreign relations, and seventh
on the committee on railroads. Who will be
Dir. Morion's successor on those two COM
mittees is not binted at. Mr.. Mitchell will
undoubtedly be given the Craftsmanship OF
privileges and elections, necessitating his
retirement from the committee on railroads,
and 1t is said that Senator Teller will sue
coed TO the craftsmanship of the latter COM
mittee, he being the only repu blican Senator
who held seat prior to the 4th of March last
and was not al the head OF committee
Senator Howe, who is second on the COM
mittee on railroads, is understood TO be
anxious for the Chair manship OF the COM
mittee, in which event Senator Teller would
probably succeed 10 Senator aowe's place a 5
chairman Of the library committee.
