WASHINGTON, March IA. - In the
Democratic senatorial caucus today,
Senator Roach, of North Dakota, was
given the craftsmanship of the commit
tee on Indian depredations instead of
that to investigate the trespasses of
Cherokee lands, much better place.
He is also a member of the committee
on agriculture and forestry in addition
to Indian affairs and the five Indian
tribes. Senator Kyle's selection for the
Craftsmanship of the important commit
tee on education and labor was noted
with enthusiasm. Senator PETER, in
addition to a good chairmanship. is a
member Of five other good committees.
Senator Allen. Of Nebraska, the third
Populist, also gets craftsmanship, and
| is Oh the committee on public lands.
The Republican senators are completely
overwhelmed by the policy of the Dem
Ocratic leaders in welding the low tar
if men together, and we'll they may be,
for each of these senators in getting
Craftsmanship adds so much to the num-
Der of committees headed by Northern
men and stiles in the beginning the old
cry that the South controls all the COM
mitteeS. Senator Palmer gets the COM
mittee on pensions. succeeding Senator
Davis.
The caucus has finished its labors so
fa no k;ox,
tees of the senate is concerned. The
session of the caucus was not so long as
was anticipated, despite the fact that
there was some discussion on the SUBJ
ject of the reorganization of the elective
offices of the senate. There was pre-
Vailing sentiment in favor of
A Speedy Reorganization
of the clerical force of the senate, and
sentiment took tangible shape immedi-
ately after the adjournment of the eau
Gus, when the caucus committee met
in Mr.. Ransom'S room for the purpose
OF considering the subject. Up to this
time the committee has been so busily
engaged with the revision of the COM
mittee lists that. the other matter has
been referred to only i'll an informal
manner. This important branch of the
work of the majority is now, however,
well under way, and it is probable that
by this time next week, if not earlier.
the elective officers of the senate will
have been changed.
1t will be seen that Nthe committee
provided chairmanshipS for Senators
PETER and Kyle, the POpulist members,
and permitted MIR. Stewart to retain the
craftsmanship of the committee on
mines and mining. which he held under
the Republican organization. There
was some debate over this action, and
some opposition, but the influence of
the committee prevailed, and the silver
senator from Nevada will not be dis
turbed. Either upon the standing or
select committees places were found as
chalrmen for all the new Democratic
senators. The Republicans are given
eleven committees, just the number
they gave the Democrats. The official
list, as given out by Mr.. German, is SUBJ
stantially the same as sent out yester-
day. The following were not included

Sent TO the Republicans.
This list is complete with the excep-
ton Of the assignment of the senator
from Wyoming, and that place has been
left vacant until the member is sworn
In. AT the conclusion of the caucus Mr.
German sent copy of the list to the
Republican committee, which was i'll
session in the room of the committee
OIL appropriations. The Republicans
decline to give out anything tonight, but
will report to Republican caucus to-
morrow. 1t is said that there has been
quite pressure brought to bear upon
the committee TO remove Mr.. Stewart
from the Republican representation on
the committee on appropriations, and it
is not unlikely that this will be done in
view of the fact that he has been kept
by the Democrats as chairman of the
committee on mines and mining. The
Northwestern senators are urging that
that section of the country is entitled TO
upon that important COM
mittee and will insist that some one OF
their number be gwen the place. Mr..
Dawes retirement from the senate
leaves the minority representation as it
would be under the reorganization, but
If Mr.. Stewart is removed there will be
d vacancy and it is this probable va !
