LOrS as Jones, OF Nefdudt ACllOAt "o'
cott, and Stewart. There are quite as
many experienced debators and parlia-
mentsrians on the Democratic side, in
Guiding Senators Gormsn, Gray, George,
Harris, Morgan, Pugh, Vest, Vance aud
Voorhees,; but they will all range them
selves not on party lines, but on their
Individual and State views Of financial
policy.
THE FIRST BUSINESS
in order after the Senate Is called to or
der will be 10 administer the oath OF
office TO three Senators and 20 Mr.. Cox,
the Secretary OF the Senate. The Sena-
tors who will take the oath are Mr.
Perkins, who succeeds Senator Stan
ford; Mr.. Pasco, Of Florida, who has
been reelected after serving Gd interim
under a gubernatorial appointment,

qualified As soon as notice
is received from the house that It is or
ganized, the proper committee will be
appointed 10 walt upon the President
aud notify him that Congress is ready
TO receive any communication he may
care TO make. This will call for the
MESSAGE explaining the Presidents rea-
son for conVening Congress In special
session aud suggesting the legislation TO
cure the ills from which the country is
s.ferlng.

has before it. as already stated, the
privileged question OF the right TO
seats OF Senators Mantle, Of Montana,
Beckwith, OF Wyoming, and Allen, Of
Washington. Should the Republicans
insist upon a disposition Of these cases
nothing else can be done until they are
passed upon. An privileged motion
pending is Mr.. HOar's resolution touch
Ing Senator Roach's character, with
Mr.. Germans substitute, and Mr..
Chandler's resolution OF similar nature
concerning Senator Power. So far no
line OF policy eaS been defined by either
party upon these subjects and it Is
probable that 10 both the Senate and
the House thep arties will caucus dur
iug the week TO agree upon their re-
spective plans Of campaign.
