not so many people at the White House
this morning. The politicians turned
out in full force and were received in the

attention from $3.50 to IL 80, when the
President excused himself for the pur-
pose of consulting with the Cabinet on
matters requiring prompt action.

the President to-day and had long talk

Ex-Governor Stone for Commissioner OF
the General Land Office and ex-C Congress-
man Hepburn for Commissioner of
Patents.
A CABINET MEETING.

held to-day, at which all the members

ments will be sent to the Senate on Mon
day.

mission into the Union as States was

THE SENATE COMMITTEES.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The work of
arranging the Senate Committees, or at
least majority of their membership.
was ompleted this afternoon by the Re-
publican Caucus Committee. The re-
port will be made to the caucus at 1890
P. NJ. next Monday. 1t is under
stood that. in filing the vacant chair
manships, precedent has been followed.
1t is believed that Senator Mitchell,
Oregon, will be chairman of the Com
mittee on Railroads. The Democrats
are said to be satisfied with the arrange
ment and division of membership, but
they evidently find more difficulty to
place their men, as they have not yet
the work. They will not hold
their caucus until after the Republicans,
and probably not before Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Califor-
mia delegation, following the examples
of the other State delegations, will hold

dent as suitable appointees for the vsri-
