sEvArE ORGANIZATION.


morning, as five who are at the Atlanta cotton
fair VIII not be here until morning. Morgan
and Garland are quoted as being willing to
give the Republicans the presiding officer, the
Democrats keeping the secretary and sergeant
at-arms. The Republicans would unan-
imously accept such proposion. The
majority of the Democrats insist that to fail
to take the presiding officer would disgust the
rank and file of the party, and be an admission
that their representatives were unwilling to
take power when it fell to them. Arthur
told a Democratic senator this afternoon that
it would be wise in the party to yield the
presidency of the senate to the Republicans.
He is very anxious that his place should be
flied by a Republican.
SENATE sPECULATIoNs.
Senator's of both parties tonight are averse
to being interviewed as to what they will OF
may do IN organization of the senate. There
is sentiment of concession on both sides, but
no senator knows Just how far it will go, and
he does not like to express an opinion which
may emdarrass him when he comes TO
vote. 1t is freely admitted
that there must be some concession and COM
promise but what shape it will take cannot be
foretold Some protest that president pro
TEN be elected for The express purpose of
swearing in the new senators, his term of
office to then expire and after that the organi-
zation to be effected. There are precedents
fo~ this The senate has in the past elected a
president for specific duty and for designated
Deriod of term. On one occasion
The president was elected for day. There are
ut least three Democratic senator's who are in
favor of conceding the president to the Repub-
licans, if they will accord the Democrats the
secretaryship and half of the committees and
Of l,a cfo
rs now. One of the most influential Demo-
Gratis in the senate tonight expressed himself
in favor of this plan. He said he was satisfied
that if the Democrats should accord
the president to the Republicans an
amicabe agreement could be reached in
4 short time aud the senate organized by a
unanimous vote, but on the other hand, if the
Democrats took advantage of their temporary
majority to elect a president, he believed the
Republicans would fight on the question of
a secretary and the remainder of the organiza-
ton, to the last day of the Forty-seventh CON
gress. This senator said that if an
other deadlock should rise it will
run, there is no telling how long, and will
block legislation at the regular session. This
would be ill-timed and disgraceful, said this
senator. Therefore he considers the easiest
and best plan is to give the Republicans the
office they most desire, which is president of
the senate. Conference committees will be
appointed by both caucuses, tomorrow, and
the belief is these committees will organize a
plan of organization which will be accepted
by both parties. If the Republicans will di-
vide the committees with the Democrats to get
the president Of the senate, it is now probable
that this plan will be adopted, as naturally
there are a number of Democrats who would
I've to get their former commissions back
again, There is considerable speculation as
to how Senator Davis, of Illinois, will vote,
but nothing To indicate what he will do has
yet been heard from, He will
reach here tomorrow. At the begin
when the contests over the organization was
just opening, it was announced to the Dem
ocratic party, by Anthony, of Senator Davis,
that he phrposed voting for the Democratic
organization. Judge Davis declined to fill
buster, but said he would vote with the Dem
ocrats. Subsequently after the Republicans
had obtained the committees, in a speech, he
said he thought the organization should GO
with the committees, but Notwithstanding
this opinion he voted with the Democrats ex,
cept on dlatory motions. The Democrats
here express confidence that he will vote with
them This time unless they should take some
position calculated to bring about 4 dead
lock.
MORE SPECULATION.
WASHINGTON, Oct. fully two thirds oi
the senators are now here. The Democrats ant
Republicans will hold caucuses tomorrow
II is quite generally conceded q Democratic
president, pro TEN. will be elected Monday
and that the next step will be the swearing il
Of the three new senator's. This will evenly
divide The Senate. 1t is thought tonight The
result of the caucuses tomorrow will be the
" IN nf m VII n
harmonizing matters relating to senate offices
50 that the organization may be effected with
ont unnecessary delay.
OLD WORLD CROPS.
Under date of September l, 1881, Consu
Grinnen reports official statistics show The
production of cereals in the German Empire
from August, 1850, to August 1881, to be az
follows: Wheat, lO6,05S, ,OG6 bushels; rye
19S,50l 600 bushels; barley, 100, l2S ,793 bush
els; oats, 295, ,96S,960 bushels; corn, 427 ,32(
bushels; peas, beans, etc, 29059,443 bushels
Imports same period: Wheat II,
000,76O bushels; rye, 2S,59S,340 bush
els; barley, l4,424,35S bushels; oats
bushels; beans, etc. 1921, sis bushels the Of
fetal report adds with some apparent COM
pl8cency that the duties collected on the i'm
portation of grain during the above period
amounted to about S4,2S5, 200, being very
much more than the estimates made in 1879
Consul Grinnell says that he thinks these
figures are of value showing as they do the
growing need in Germany of articles we can
best supply, especially as to corn; that as
the Germans become more familiar with its
excellence as food for men and animals and
ITS relative cheapness their demand
will only be limited by the amount we can
spare The tariff from which the above duties
were collected, went into effect July s, 1879.
II bears especially hald on the laboring class
es, except farmers, and it is said even they
are dissatisfied.
