CONTROL OF THE SENATE
TIE REPUBLICANS TO FIGHT TO
BOLD THEIR GRIP ON 1T.

The Contests In the Western Legis-
latures to be Continued as Long as
Posslble-The Republicans Eope by
This Means 60 Have Appointments
Made by Republican Governors.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--The republicans
Of the Senate met in caucus this morning to
consider the order OF business and such
other matters as might come before them.
The meeting was an interesting one and re-
suited in initial steps being taken that will
be the beginning OF bitter fight for con-
troll of the next Senate. Ii there has been
any belief that the republicans intended to
permit the organization of the nexp
Senate 90 go by default that belief
was shattered by the action taken to-day.
A committee consisting of Messrs. Teller,
Hoar, Mitchell, Chandler and Higgins, all
republican members OF the committee ON
privileges and elections. was appointed TO
take special charge of the subject OF or
ganizstion and everything incidental
thereto in the matter OF the election OF
senators In the western states, where
the fight Is now on. These sena-
tors, all astuta politicians, will see
that nothing is done to 1eopardiEe the
chances OF the republicans and viii prepare
all cases, 30 that in the event OF contests.
which are inevitable, the best possible front
can be made. Tho question OF order or
business was secondary TO the more inn
portant matter OF organization, bnt COM
mittee TO agree upon some working plan was
appointed In the persons Of Senators
Sherman, Frye. Dolph, Cullom, Platt,
Washburn and Quay. They will canvass
the situation and report ut another caucus
to be held early next week. In the mean-
time nothing will be lost, inasmuch as the
proposed sanitary eRislation has en- order
for tomorrow and Saturday, and ths anei-
option bill will be resumed the first OF the
week and probably forced to vote.
RAsIs OF THE DECISION.
The republicans think that the COMMITTEES
OF safety appointed by them, made up OF
members of the committee on elections, will
be able by stimulating and maintaining
contests from all the doubtful legislatures.
TO keep out OF the Senate for an indefinite
length OF time, and certainly until next
winter, the new senators whose votes would
turn over the Senate 10 the democr ats,
They expect to see republican successors ap-
pointed by republican governors after
March 4, and In all cases where the legis-
latures can be prevented from acting before
that time. They have no doubt whatever
that the present organization of the Sem
ate will continue through the spring
session. But there lie no foundation for the
report that they propose to hold up the
nominations for Mr.. Cleyeland's cabinet.
On the contrary, member OF the commit
tee said to-day that the republicans would
confirm Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet as matter
Of course, out OF courtesy 20 him. But be
added that while every proper nomination
90 other offices would be confirmed that the
Senate might have to object TO some
possible appointments OF Mr.. Cleveland.

WHITNEY NOT TO ACCEPT
HIS DEOLINATION A DIsAPPOlNT-
MENT TO CARLISLE.

MIR. Whitney Allows it to be Inferred
That He Was Offered Portfolio
by the President-elsct-Car Still
Apt to Accept the Treasury Port
folio.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.--William G. Whit
ney announced this morning that he would
not be member Of President-elect Cleve-
lands cabinet.
THAT does not mean that cabinet place
has been offered TO you, does it," was asked.
Mr.. Whitney hesitated for moment and
then said: "Well, no. not necessarily, but
have nothing to say except that will not
be q member"
CARLISLE DISAPPOINTED.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Mr. Whitney's
announcement to-day that he would noe go
into the cabinet was as much dis
appointment to Mr.. Carlisle as Mr.. Cleve-
land. Ever since Mr.. Carlisle thought Of
taking the treasury portfolio he has been
anxious to have Mr.. Whitney take the
secretaryship of state. It is understood
that as result OF a request from Mr.. Car
Isle, at his recent interview with Mr..
Cleveland, the latter renewed the request
he had formerly made TO Mr. Whitney. and
that the announcement to-day is publica-
tion OF the answer Mr.. Whitney gave him.
This discourages Mr.. Carlisle. If anything
would make him recall his acceptance Of
Mr.. Cleyeand's Invitation 1t would be such
a disappointment. However, II Col Nor
Tison and John Randolph Tucker 60 into
the cabinet Mr.. Carlisle will pro- ably be
content to stay. Mr.. Carlisle had a
long talk to-day with Representative
Herbert, chairman Of the COMMITTEES on
naval affairs to-day, which is connected by
the gossips with the probable offer OF the
navy portfolio to Mr.. Herbert. Mr.. Whit
ney is now talked of for minister to Eng
land on the theory that he would he willing
to go abroad for year or so. The fact
that Minister Lincoln contemplated an
early resignation revives the talk about the
English mission. e. J. Phelps and James
c. Carter are both mentioned in connection
with this as we'll as with the state portfolio.
Ex-senator Eustis of Louisiana is still men,
stoned in connection with the latter.
Senator Gray of Delaware will not be a
member of Mr.. Clevelands cabinet. 10 is
generally understood that Senator Gray
could have a portfolio if he wanted one, his
name having been mentioned in connection
with the secretaryship Of state and the attor-
ney geueralship, but it was learned to-day
on the best authority that Senator Gray
would not leave the Senate to 60 into the

The Decision Great Surprise to the

MONTREAL, Jan. 5.-Contrary TO expec-
tation. Chief Justice Begbie has delivered a
Judgment confiscatiag the sealer Oscar and
Hattie for violation of the modus vivendi.
The vessel was captured off Atu. where she
went in for water. There are no seals with
in miles of the place, according to the testi-
mony of the captain and lieutenant of the
seiziDg vessel, the United States ship Mohi-
can. The decision completely fabber-
gasted local ssalers, who were led to believe
that the court admitted the plea and would
merely condemn in costs, holding that the
law had not been violated.

MGLYNNs RECONCILIATION.
Rev. DR.. Burtsell Explains Eis Con-

ueosion With the Case.
New YoRK, Jan. 5.-Kev. DIR. Burtsell
gave out this afternoon the following state
ment in regard to the Satolli-McGlynn in-
cident:
1t seems to me to De due on my part TO Mgr
SAtolii TO say a few words In reference Co the
way in which ne became connected with the
case of Rev. Dr.. McGynn, In 1888 he came
as a representative OF Pope Leo XIII.
TO the formal organization Of the Catholic
University at Washington On HIS return Il ON
Rome lie staid some days at Archbishop Corri-
gan residence, whence with the archbishop's
knowledge and consent he telegraphed to
Cooper Institute, asking Or. McGlynn TO favor
him with meeting. Dr. McGlynn was absent
on lecture tour, but when he received the tel
egram he sent it to me from Vermont, asking
me to call on Mgr. Satolli in his name to ex-
press his regrets at not being able to see him
in person and to say that he would
give immediate attention to whatever the
the letter Mgr Satolli had left for Europe, and
Immediately wrote TO him explaining these
circumstances. At that time I did not know
whether Mgr. Satolli had any power to act in
the case. On his arrival here last autumn ae
ablegate of the pope, and specifically
on his coming to New Y York for the conference
of archbishops, on Nov. l6. called upon him,
reminding him OF his former telegram and OF
my letter He remembered both aud imme-
diately stated that he had beeu cQsnmissioned
TO inquire into the matter. When rbrought be-
loIo ulil SOue important lnCtb Do hAlu no WOuiu
ask the holy SOC to grant him all the power
necessary to settle the case. Meanwhile
all the necessary statements ana documents
were brought TO him for his consideration.
The public has been informed of the happy
solution. 1t surprises me that any one should
expect to ascertain the full details of the settle
nsnt to the case till Mgr Satolli's report should
have reached the holy father. in whose name he
acted. Any news given here would be likely to
be cabled to Rome, and the respect due to the
supreme pontin oould not have been probably
maintained. II. l.. BURTKLL

Ex-senator Camden to Reopen the
Old War BY Opposing Him.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The announced
candidacy OF ex-senator Camden Of West
Virginia for the succession to Senator
Faulkner. it is said here. threatens to renew
the fsctional warning among the democrats
OF that state, which was brought to an
end by the election OF Senator
Faulkner in 1887. At that time
MIR. Camden was q candidate for
e-election, but was so strongly opposed in
his own party that disruption was threat
ened. Senator Faulkner's election was the
result of compromise, but it was not until
several years had elapsed that the two fac
tions were apparently harmonized. This
condition OF things, it is asserted, was due
10 the labors of Senator Faulkner, and it
was while the party was thus united that
the democratic victories Of 1890 and 1899
were won.
