WASHINGTON. March 16.-The reorgan-
tzation of the senate committee was COM
plete'i yesterday, the Republicans finish
ing their share of the work, and the adop-
tion of the whole list was the sole business
transacted by the senate, except a secret
session which received batch of nomina-
tions from the president, but of course did
not act upon them. The senate took recess
during the day TO permit the Republicans
to caucus on their committee assignments.
This caucus was successful in arranging
matters satisfactorily all round ana when
it adjourned report was made to the SEN
ate, adopted, and reorganization thus far
was complete.
What They Did About stewart.
After the Republican caucus assembled
there was debate of some length on the
subject of removal OF Stewart of Nevada
from the appropriations committee, as he
had been the recipient of "A Craftsmanship
at the hands of the majority. He was re-
moved and Teller of Colorado was substi-
tuted. The Republicans contented them
selves .-ith removing Stewart from the
appropriations committee. He remains as
a representative OF the minority in other
committees and is the ranking member of
the minority in the committee on irriga-
tion and reclamation of arid lands. Tel
Ter gives up his place on the committee on
privileges and elections, of which he was
chairman and would be the ranking mem
Der, and goes to the foot of the appropria-
tion committee.

With the adoption of the resolution
which caused the new committees to go
into effect the Democrats became possessed
of that important branch of the sem
ate. Immediately after a general shifting of
members began. All the Republicans who
have not been fortunate enough to get minor
chairmanships will go to the Maltby
house and occupy the rooms the Democrats
have occupied for several years, while the
Democrats VIII occupy the regular com
mittee rooms in the Capitol.
Mr.. Brown Was "A Hustler.
1t seems that a man in Tennessee is not
the first postmaster appointed a statement
to that effect having been printed few
days ago. The first postmaster's name was
