A FULL LIST OF THE ASSIGNMENTS

can Senatorial caucus c0mmlttee, wnlcn wa
charged with the arrangement of the Re
publican representation on the Senate com
mittees, completed its work this mornin
and reported to a caucus which was calle
together before the Senate met. The cat
Gus considered the list submitted, and ad
journed TO meet tomorrow morning, with
out action upon the report. As nearly a
can be gathered from the expressions @
many Senators, the assignments made b
the committee are generally satisfactory.
It was found impracticable to meet all o
the expectations of the new Senators, bu
the dissatisfaction that exists is believed tt
be confined to less than half dozen Sena
tors. Messrs. Saunders and Powers, o
Montana, wished to be assigned to the Com
mittees on Appropriations and Finance
but the Committee was unable to compl,
with their requests in this respect Their
was no vacancy in the case of the Finance
Committee, and but one on the Approp ria
tions Committee as at present organized
The caucus committee, however, assigned
Senator Cullom to the vacancy on the Ap
propriations Committee, thus giving great
satisfaction to the Worlds Fair people,
and to meet the request of the Pacific
coast Senators that they be given repre-
sentation on that important committee
added one to the membership and assigned
Senator Stewart to the new place.
A Friend to the World Fair.
Senator Pettigrew, who has been re.
garded as friendly to the Worlds Fair prof
ect, has been assigned to the craftsmanship
of the committee on the quadro-centenniaL
The list, as arranged, is subject to some
changes, as it was understood when the eau
Gus adjourned this morning that Senators
are at liberty to exchange places if they can
make mutually satisfactory arrangements.
The Democratic Senators have been notified
that the Republicans have practically COM
pleted their committee list, and they held a
caucus this afternoon for the purpose of ar
ranging their own representation upon the
committee.
To secure the Military Committee the ad-
vantage of Senator Proctor's experience in
the War Department, he was assigned to
the place in that committee made vacant by
Senator Stewards transfer to the Appropria-
tim Committee Senator Dubois, another
new Senator, secured everything he wanted,
in assignment to membership in the Com
mittees on Irrigation, Emigration, Manufac-
lures and Expenditures in the Executive
Departments. His colleague, Senator
Shoup, was given the craftsmanship of the
Committee on Indian Depredstions, and a

on the part of Senators to undertake service
on the Committees on Patents, Mines and
Mining, and Territories and the member
ship of the latter was reduced in number
