WASHINGTON, d. c., March 6.-The pres

Gratis, 3S Republicans, one Popuhst, one
Independent, and one Farmers Alliance
and three vacancies. The vacancies are
one each in Montana, Washington and Wy
oming.
Should Republicans eventually fill all
these vacancies, which can scarcely be the
case in view of Beckwith's appointment in
Wyoming, it would give them fl. Should
the third party Senator vote with the Re

Senate would be tie, with Vice President
Stevenson holding the controlling vote.
The composition of the House, as shown
by unofficial returns, is: Democrats 2l7,
Republicans 12S, Third Party eight, and
vacancies two.
