WASHINGTON, u. G., Jan. 17.-Jus. before ad-
Journmcni to-day members Of the Committee on
Electoral Votes reached an agreement, and tlIo
plan will bo reported to both Houses to-mor-
row. Senator Morton atonc .lisscuts.
Dy agreement tho meeting to count the roto
will take place rs usual In the Hall Of tho
liousc. Tclers will bc appointed as In tue last
count. The vico President will open the re-
turns, and sucll not objected 10 viii be counted.
In ease Ut objection upon my point, the qucs-
tlon Of Inv und fact is to he referred to conf
mission composed Ut llyo members Of the 3u.
prctnc Court named by their circuit, l'clug
Justices OF the circuits Of Mime, Penn
sylyan!a, Iown, and California, namely,
Clifford, Strong, Miller, and Ftcld, two Kcpub-
llcaus and two Democrats. These arc to choose
flfth Justice, and in this xay tho method by
lot so generally contlctnncl has been avoided,
with these to complete the Commission. Each
House is to
APPOINT FIVE MEMBERS
In such way MS to give llye Republican and
6yc Democratic Congressman OF tic Jont CO.l!-
mission. Or these the scnato would appoint
three Republicans and two Democrats, and tho
House three Democrats an.l two Republicans.
Tic Doartl OF Arbitration thus constituted is to
consider all disputed points, and it, dccisiun is
to stand uulcss both Houses concur In reJc, /.
Ing It,
In c'cct!ng fifth Justice II sccms to DO accept
ed In the Committee as certain that none Of the
Justices representing either Ohio OF New York
would BE- takcn, As tho candidates whose clai1aR
aro to bo passed. upon came from, these States,
and It Is regarded as pretty certain that tho
choice Of the additional member Will lie
nkrwEEN RnADLEY AND DAVIS.
Ofiheso two 1t is regarded ~ moat likely TINT
Davis would bo chosen, since lc Is not very
pronounced partisan in politics.
There is very general rejoicing among men
Of bot', parties tonight over these
reported elements Of tho agreement.
4 still moro pleasant feature Of
the situation IL that tho cxtrcne Democrats re-
gard II as a surrender OF the Democratic causc.
