THE SITUATION.
A THOUSAND COMPLICATIONS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April a0,-The Re-
publican Caucus Cofhtnttteh, or C0,nlnltteo
Of Safety rs It will possibly be called, has
commenced Its operations. Mr.. Dawes, the
Chairman. called npon tho President to.dny,
and, It Is supposed, submitted tho situation
to him rs viuV1ed by the Republican cauctis.
This Committee Is not Ml.ler instructions to
report progress TO the press, ai,d ono of its
]has such notions Of tie Importance
of secrecy that lie l,ns sought to magnify the
mystery by denying tint, SO far as he
knows, any such Committee exists,
md by declaring TINT ho certainly
Is not member Of II. However,
there Is such n Committee, and the gentlemen
who resort to such diplomatic eysslons las
denials OF this sort arc o,lphoniously called
III political life llcre) are to do tilefr best to
solve tho serious political problem bcfore
thens. Ono member Of tic Coinmtttee moro
frank and less diplomatic thun the member
above cited dcigns to grant the Information
that the situation Is
j.. vEnY stuC1f MIXED"
And 80 it IL. Tho duty Imposed Upon this
b" Advisory Cottncll" Is of a much broader
character Z. p than was at first re-
ported. The Committee Is directed not
only to consider tho proprlety OF holding
exeentivoscsslons.o Of deciding when they shall
be held. II ut all. and what nominations shall
be confirmed, II any, but 1t is also clothed
with tho duty Of taking Into consideration
the situation In Vhginia; and Of dcyising
sons plan by Which tho Republicans In VII
Hlnia md the Administration Mt Washington
shalt render more efficient mid to the lnde-
pendent movement In tie Old Dominion.
Whatever 1nay b6 considered the purposes OF
tho Republican Senator'S outside Of Wishing
Ion, The Senators themselves, rs this
contest advances, deny with greater
emphasis that they aro engaged hero
III scramble for petty Offices. and
Insist, on tho contrary, that they are occupied
with tho tnoBt nlotnentous political struggle
that Inns take's place in this country since the
War. They maintain that the time has ar-
rived when 1t ii possible to in0ugurate
movement w!,tc1. will result lii
THE DETERIORATION or THE SOLID souTH,
and that, for that rehsoii, tile continia,1ce of
this contest Is patriotic duty. One Of tho
purposes OF this Advisory Committee III this
rsR1rd, Is to put tho attitude Of the Republic
M Sciiators In q clearer lIRllt before
tile President: It was decided in the
caucus that neither the President nur the
Republican o1lceholders In Virgtnia fully
