and Executive Force.

mlJt66S OF the SeDdIo 10 OohNSAA'
The session of the caucus was not 80
long as was anticipated despite the
fact that there was some discussion
on the subject of reorg anzation of the
elective Offices of the senate. There
was prevailing sentiment in favor OF
speedy reorganization of the clerical
and executive force, and this senti-
ment took tangible shape immediate
ly after adjournment of the caucus
when the caucus committee met in
Senator Rausom's room for the pur-
pose OF considering tho subject. Up
to this time The committee was so
busiy engaged with revisions of the
committee list that 9TH
or matters had been referred
to only in an informal
manner. This important branch ot
the woa of the majority is, however,
we'll under way aud it is probable that
by this time ueXt week If not earlier
the elective officers of the senate will
have been changed. 1t will be seen
that the cOmmittte provides chair
manships for Senators Petfer and
Kyle, Populist members, and permit
ted Senator Stewart to retain the
chairmanahip of the committee on
mines and miuing, which he held un-
der the Republican organization.
Either upon standing or select com.
mittees places were found tor all new
Democratic senators. Republicans
were given eleven committees, just
the number they gave the Democrats.
