New YoRY, March 11.-Not few peo-
pie here are beginning to believe thas the
settlement of tne British strike may be
near at hand. At any rate, private dis
patches from Liverpool reiterated yestsr-
terday's statement to thst effect. They
again STATED, for instance, that the strike
was practically settled, and that it
would end next Tuesday. Liverpool
was slightly higher, IN spite of rather
besrish report Of stocks at interior towns
not regularly given, and this fact made
many think that there might be some
thing in the assertions that the English
labor trouble is about over. Still there
is dispositiod to go slow until the
strike is ended beyond peradventure
Prices rose from 2 to 3 points and closed

with spot sales of 5000 bales. Spot

To be Appointed Mt Once.

WASHINGTON, March 11--While it is
the announced policy of the new admin-
istration to permit federal officials now
in Office to retain their positions for the
four years for which they were appoint
ed, this does not apply to those holding
commissions as collectors of internal
revenue. There is no term of office for
this class Of public servant, they bling
appointed to hold during the pleasure of
the President Consequently 1t Is prob
able that there will be many changes
umong revenue collectors very soon alter
the new commissioner Of internsl reve
uue is appointed. Three is scarcely a
revenue collector ship in the country for
which there are not a dozen applications,
but until the head of the Office is changed
no consideration will be given to any OF
the applications, either by the President
| or Secretary Carlisle.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Secretary
Smith today revoked and cancelled the
permits which we're issued February 13
last to the Blackfoot Milling Company,
and Bitter Root Development Company,
of Missouri county, Montana, to cut fifty
per cent of the timber ON the public
lands in that county. The permit to the
Blackfoot Milling Company embraces
about $1,000 acres, scattered through
twelve townships. and that to the B. ter
Root Company about -, 600 acres Sec
retary Smith holds strongly to the opin-
ion that the granting of such extensive
timber cutting privileges is against the
public interest, and would, if COL tnued,
speedily result in the total destruction
of the forests of the west.

THE U. s. SENATE.
1he caucus Committed. Ready TO Re.
POrt-The Committees Arranged
Nominations VIII be COn.id.
cred Next Week.


WASHINGTON March THE com
mlttets of the democratic caucus, which
have for the past week been dealing
with the troublesome problem of revising
the committees of the senate and assign
ing chairmsnships to the proper mem
bers, this afternoon at o'clock, prscti-
cally finished its work Mr.. German
thinks that the party caucus cannot be
held earlier than Tuesday aud it is not
improbable that on that morning the
committee will make it's finsl report
The committee declines to give out any
information relative to the results of it's
numerous conferences, but IT is known
that there has been no infraction Of the
tradition of the senate, by which ranking
the minority senator bt comes chairman.
Many changes have. however, been made
necessary, as one of the members of the
committee said, by reason of the en-
t-'nce into the senate of new democratic
| members from the northern states. A
| glance at the committee list of the last
| senate shows how difficult it has been to
bring about result satisfactory to all.
There are forty standing committees of
the senate and out of this number of
ranking democrats entitled to the chair
manshlp thirty one of these committees
comes from the southern states and nine
from the north. In selecting committees
the same preponderance from the south is
seen. there being eight from that section
and but four from the north Election
OF democratic senators from Wisconsin,
New York, North Dakota, Wyom ng
and California, has compelled the COM
mlttea to make shifting of the mem
bership and in number of cases of
chairmanships, 30 as to give these new
mem oers and other men from the north
their fair share of the good places. OF
course, in this large list of southern
ranking members, the name of the same
senator appears in many cases ON various
committees, members from that part OF
the country having served in the senate
many years. Despite all this, however
it is understood that there has been very
little variation from the usages of the
senate in making the appnintme o
chairmans to important committees o
the senate, although the general make
up of the committees appears t, have
been very materially changed Th,
committee will hold another meetins
Monday morning and 60 over the revised
list and make such corrections as ma,
be necessary. If anv nominations ar
seLt to the senate on Monday they viii
be received and laid over tilr the com
mit.ees have been fully organized aut
this will not, the caucus commi t.
thinks, be earlier than tle middle of tn
week

The aud ence was much larger than on
