NEW YoRK, Dec. 9.-Senators Carlisle,
German and Brice met at eX.Secrctary
of Navy Whitney's house this afternoon.
to discuss the situation in Nebraska,
Kansas, Montana, Wyoming and Cali
fornia as regards the next representa-
ton in the Senate. Their discussion
did not end until late in the evening.
The statement made that they were
here for the purpose of comforting with
President-elect Cleveland in reference
to an extra session and the policy Of the
incoming administration was, they said,
without warrant, and there was abso-
lutely no truth in it.
Senator German gave out this official
statement: "The Democrats of the
Senate are very much concerned about
the publications which indicate that
there is an organized attempt to reverse
the will OF the people as expressed at
the late election. 1t was understood by
everybody, until within the past few
days, that the Democrats had not only
elected the President and Vice president
and large majority of the House of
Representatives, but that they would
have clear majority in the Senate of
the United States, thus enabling
measures for which the Democratic
party stood in the late campaign to be
enacted into laws.
AN ATTEMPT TO STEAL SIX STATES.
ITO the establishment Of ali, it was
found that the attempt to change the
political complexion Of the legislatures
in Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Mon

seriously under way. Hence, the Sena.

possible to prevent the contamination

to New York to confer with such men,

they hope, before leaving, to confer with
the entire committee.
