The Question 81 Refre1cnment.

THE SENATE DISPOSED TO POSTPONE ECONOMIC.
ING UNTIL NEXT WINTER.
The caucus of republican Senators last Satur-
day devoted nearly the entire day to . discus.
sion Of the existing force of the Senate and the
feasibility of cutting it down. Some of the
Senators, Mr.. Frye among them, contended
that the number of standing committees could
be reduced one-half He thought 1t would be
good policy to reduce the committees and give
each one that is maintained an annual clerk.
Senator Van Wycks resolution to rescind all
authority for recess clerks and recess work
was not favorably received. No den-
mite conclusion was reached, but in
order to prevent action upon Van Wyck's reso-
luton it was tacitly agreed among the republi-
can Senators TO go into executive session the
fore there was no chance to get up the resoIu-
ton: So far the caucus meetings have not posi-
lively determined upon anthing, but II is
that the resolutions already adopted will stand
and no more will be permitted TO pass: and that
retrenchment will be postponed until next
winter.
