THE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPoRE.
[BY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUgEl
WASHINGTON Dec. 14.-There is disposition on
the part of the Democrats to oppose the reorganza
ton of the Senate. Some Republican Senators ex-
pect to see two or three days consumed in useless
debate on the subject waste Of time which VIII
accomplish no results and only tend to defer the
consideration of the report of the Committee on
Rules. The discussion of the rules, some Senator'S
seem to think, will occupy the attention OF the
Senate for six weeks and possibly two months IL
probable, therefore, that no important legislation
will be accomplished before the second or third week
in January.
Under the resolution offered by Mr.. Edmunds IN
the Senate yesterday, the election of President
pro empore would come up in the ordinary course OF
business on Monday. 1t seems certain however tnat
it will be allowed to lie the table and that Ine
Senate will not elect its presiding officer until AFTER
the holiday recess, and then only II the state OF
Senator Anthony's health should permit him 10 as,
sumo the duties of the office. Repnblicans ana
Democrats alike are united in their desire to honor
Mr. Anthony by their votes, but there also prevails
feeling that 1t is their duty TO avoid the DANGER
which would arise If by an unlOoked-for comblna,,
ton of circumstances the question Of Presidential
succession should become a matter OF dispute OF
even discussion.

Old Dominion Copper Mining Company at that
