WASHINGTON, Merch NO trustworthy
opinion regarding the length Of the session
of the Senate can be formed at this time.
A considerable number of nominations are
expected tomorrow, and should the new
Cabinet Minister, be able 10 determine the
personnel of their staff without delay, the
work of the session may be brought to an
end within fortnight, but the probability
is recognized that they may require few
days to become acquainted with the
men about them before making
all the changes they may desire.
The intention recently entertained BY mem
bers of the Committee on Foreign Relations
of bringing forward new treaties during the
session is now in suspension, owing to the
wish of many Senators to get away as early
as possible. 1t is thought, moreover, that
the new administration may, as 1t has a
right, recall tor amendment some or all OF
the more important treaties. On the other
hand it is said 10 be in contemplation 10
bring up the Nicsrauguan treaty during
this session, not for the purpose of pressing
it 10 the point of ratification, but to discuss
in open session the relationship Of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty to the canal
question. Should this be done,
it will be with view to getting the judg-
ment of the country upon the whole matter
before the meeting of Congress IN Decen-
Der.
IAe Committees.
Tne organization of the Senate commit
tees engages the attention of the Senator'S
| at present. 1t involves more difficulties
than usaag and therefore may not be de-
cided fos several DAYS; although the caucus
committees of both parties have had the
subject ander discussion since last Thurs
day There ere FIVE vacant cheirmanships,
including those Of the committees
Oh the Education and Labor and Military
Affairs, heretofore filed oy respectively
SenstoEs Blair and Logan. Senator Blair,
| it is understood, viii be temporarily ap-
| poiLted to FIJI the vacancy created by the
expiration of his term, and it is probable he
| will retain his Craftsmanship until his sue
oessor is elected. The craftsmanship OF the
! Committee on Military Affairs, if filled at
all, will probably be filed conditionally so
that Gen. Logan may return to the place
| should he be reelected. Senator Hoar IS
second on the list in the committee claims
but ne holds more desirable position as
chairman of the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, and would hardly be willing
to make the exchange. Senator
| Pike who has 10 craftsmanship
stands next, and Senator Dolph fourth.
| Tie Craftsmanship Of the Committee on
I PCstoffices and Post Roads, is made vacant
| bv the retirement Of Senator Hill. Senator
| Sawyer, who is second on the list IN this
| Committee. holds the ChairmaRshlp on the
| Committee on Railroads, and Senator Ma
hone, who is third, holds the same position
on the Committee on Pu5lj2 Buildings.
| Senator Palmer, who has no chairmanship
ard Senator Wilson, who holds that OF the
Committee on the Expenditure Of Public
Money, stands fourth and fifth in member
ship on this committee.
| other Changes.
Senator Palmer it is said prefers the
| Craftsmanship OF the Committee on Fisher
| les made vacant by the retirement OF Judge
| Lspham. Senators Sewell and Dawes
stand above him upon the list but each
hoh other chairmsnships, which are equal,
iy or more desirable. Senators Hawley,
iiirich and Couger hold chairmanships Of
comparatively unimportant committees
ard if willing to assume more responsible
positions now vacant may be assigned to
tn. m. Senator Evarts eminence as
LAWYER has given rise to the
expectation that he will be made member
OF the Judiciary Committee should Judge
Logan not be returned The more import
ant vacancies to be filled by the minority
are three upon the Judiciary Committee,
created BY the retirement of Bayard, Gar
land and Lamar, and one each upon the
Commerce. Finance, Indian Affairs, Naval
Affairs and Privileges and elections.
