senate committees have been arranged,
and will be reported at the next session
| of the senate Of the big committees
Senator Brice drew the prize OF appro-
priatiOns. There was only one vacancy
on that committee, and he got it. Mem

to requests from a senator who is on
appropriation.

sition which will enable him to mould
the senate policy as the personal repre-
sentative OF Mr.. Cleveland. This is Il
prize greatly sought after by the big
