WASHINGTON, March l4-The democratic
caucus finished its lsbors to-day, so far as
the reorganization of the committees Of the
Senate is concerned. The session OF the
caucus was not 80 long as was anticipated,
despite the fact that there was some dis
cussion on the subject of the reorganization
of the elective officers Of the Senate. There
was a prevailing sentiment in favor Of
speedy reorganization of the clerical
and executive force of the Senate,
and the sentiment took tangible shape
Immediately after the adjournment Of
the caucus, when the caucus committee
met in Senator Ransoms room for the
purpose Of considering the subject Up to
this time the committee has been 80 busiIy
engaged with the revision OF the committee
lists that the other matter has been referred
to only in an informal manner. This i'm
is now, however, well under way, and it is
probable that by this time next week, If
not earlier. the elective officers of the Senate
will have been changed. 1t will be seen
that the committee provided chairmanships
for Senators PETER and Kyle. the populist
members, and permitted Mr.. Stewart to re-
tain the craftsmanship of the committee on
mines and mining, which he held under the
republican organization. There was some
debate over this action and some
opposition, but the Influence of the
committee prevailed aud the silver
senator from Nevada will not be
disturbed either upon the standing or select
committees. Places were found as chairman
for all the new democratic senators. The
republicans are given eleven committees,
just as they gave the democrats.
