w ASHlN GTON. Dec. lT.-1ne Demo
cratic senators held caucus this MORN
ing before the meeting of the senate,
for the purpose of taking action on the
assignments of Democratic senators to
committees made by the caucus COM
mittee of the minority. The caucus was
harmonious one, but there was much
talk over the list submitted. The action
of the caucus committee in not assign
ing senators-elect Hill, of New York,
and Vance, of North Carolina, was APP
proved. These gentlemen have not
sworn in as senators, and it was decided
that to assign them to committees would
not be exactly in accordance with law,
that it would set a bad precedent and
that 1t would cause considerable trouble.
in the caucus committee Senator Cor
man, as chairman. has held out for leav
ing vacancy in each of the committees
to which MeSsrs. Hill and Vance would
be assigned. He met with considerable
opposition and it was finally decided
that certain senators should be placed
on certain committees with the under
standing that they would relinQuish
these assignments to make way for the
two absenteeS when they were sworn
in. Committees to which it was decided
TO assign Mir. Hill are interstate COM
merce, immigration, territories and re-
lationS with Canada. MeSSrS. German
and COckrell will take his place on these
committees until he is sworn in. SEN
atOr Ransom will hold the places as
signed Senator Vance until the latter re-
turns to Washington. Immediately
