Sennte Organization.

CINCINNATI, Dsc. THE Enquirer's
Washington special has the following: Not
withstanding the interest in the organization
OF the house of representatives, the question
of the reorganization of the senate is also at
tracing considerable interest. 1t has been
stated that Mr. Edmunds will resign the
chair, thereby rendering necessary the
election of q presiding officer What
authority there is for this statement is not
known, but it is presumed there is none The
Vermont senator frequently keeps his own
counseIs If the surmises of many are true
that Mr.. Edmunds viii prefer HE place on the
floor of the senate to the chair, then the qucs-
tion of the succession will become important
The senior member of the body in length Of
service is Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island,
and he is high authority in parliamentary
law and senate traditions He was President
pro tenn of the senate for the four years end
ing March, 1875 and will be strongly urged
for the position now, if there shall be va.
cancy. Ii western man should be, takeu
there seems to be more talk of Ingalls,, o
Kan4as, than of any other. He is a fine par
Humanitarian, and lacking in no quality nee.
essary for the place.
As to the committees, some important
changes will be made. This comes of the
fact that some senators go out, and their
places have to be filed with careful regard to
the seniority of those who remain, and GER
tain usages as to their ranking order
on the several committees. This
involves u partial Encouragement
OF chairmanships, as well as OF
members Of committees of highest import
ance. The question Of the several offices OF
the senate will, with all other questions, ba
determined by the Republican caucus. Tho
attitude of Malone toward the Republican
party during the past two years has been that
of a friendly ally. This will remain un-
changed, and his colleague, Senator Riddle
berger, will occupy similar position.

CINCINNATI, Dec. About o'clock a
m. William Swift, aged 10, street car con-
ductor, and John Cosgrove, aged %, driver,
both unmarried, were seriously if not fatally
shot while on their car near Woodburn
avenue and Montgomery road, in the suburbs
by an unknown party. The only solution to
the affair thus far known is given by Mr.
Bell, a passenger who got off the car
before the shooting occurred, but says a
young man got on the car at Hunt street,
with whom the conductor was quarrelling all
the way up the hill. The man was half
drunk and at first caused trouble about the
fare, which he finally paid. The conductor,
however, was not satisfied and renewed the
quarrel The quarrel quieted down, however,
before Bell got off. Bell says he could recog
nize the man if he saw him again. The ply

Counting g;nhntched C;icl,cns

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec |. In the Ian
guage of western congressman, "aIl the
lawyers in the United States could not at this
time solve the speakership problem" Tho
situation is practically unchanged Both
of the principal candidates claim
enough strength to insure them the
nomination early in the caucus.
According to the figures given out at the
headquarters of Carlisle the totals arc:
Carlisle, 133 votes; Randall, IS votes. At
Randall's headquarters the Pennsyvanian
is marked down as almost certain of receiving
30 votes and his principal opponent is cut off at
81. Friends of Mr.. Cox do not admit that
he is out of the race and some Of them are
claiming that his chances are improving
every hour He claims to be second choice of
more members than have united on any candi-
date.
The New York delegation is now holding a
caucus for the purpose of deciding upon a
course of procedure If it is decided to pre-
sent the name of'Mr. Cox and stand by him
he will be formidable candidate, as he will
then probably secure enough votes to enable
him to hold the balance of power.
