Republicans Given Chairmanships on
About the Same Committees Given
the Democrats Last Session.

democratic caucus has finished It's
labors so far as the reorganization of
the committees of the Senate are
concerned. There was prevailing
sentiment in favor of speedy re-
organization Of the clerical and ex-
ecutive forces of the Senate.
Up to this time the committee has
been SO busily engaged with the re-
vision of the committee lists that
the other matter has been referred
to only in an informal manner. This
important branch of the work of the
majority is now, however, well un-
der way, and it is possible 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 chairmanshlps for Senators
PETER and Kyle, the Populists mem
bers, and permitted Mr.. Stewart to
retain the craftsmanship of the COM
mlttee of mines and mining, which
he has held under the Republican
organization. There was some de-
bate over this action and some oppo-
sition, but the influence of the COM
mittee prevailed and the silver
Senator from Nevada will not be
disturbed. Either upon the stand
ing or on the select committees were
found positions as chairman for all
the new Democratic senators. The
Republicans are given eleven COM
mittees, just the number they gave
the Democrats. The official list as
given out by Mr.. German is as fol-
