THESENATEC COMMITTEES
4 COMPLETE LIST OF ASSIGNMENTS
BY THE DEMOCRATS.
The Forecast In The Times Of Yesterday
Correct-The Changes VIII be Rati-
fed by the Senate To-Day.

long as was ANTICIPATED. despite the fact
that there was some discussion on the
subject Of the reorganization Of the elec-
tive Offices Of the Senate. There was a
prevailing sentiment in favor of a speedy
reorganization Of the clerical and execu-
tive force OF the Senate, and the senti-
ment took tangible shape Immediately
after the adjournment of the caucus
when the caucus committee met in Mr..
Ransoms room for The purpose Of con-
sidering the subject. Up 10 this time
the committee has been 50 busily en-
gagged with the revision OF the COM
mittee lists that the other matter has
been referred TO only in an informal
manner. This important branch Of the
work Of the majority is now, however,
well under way, and II Is probable that
by this time next week. If not earlier,
the elective officers Of the Senate will
have been changed. II viii be seen that
the committee provided chairmanshps for
PETER ana Kyle. the Populist members,
and permitted Mr.. Stewart to retain the
! craftsmanship Of the Committee on Mines
and Mining. which he had under the Re-
publican organization. There was some
debate over this action and some oppO-
sitiOn. but the influence Of the committee
prevailed and the silver SenatOr from
Nevada will not be disturbed. Either
upon the standing or select committees
places were found as chairmen for all
the new Democratic senators. The Re-
publicans are given eleven committees,
| just as they gave the Democrats.
