COMPLETE TUE COMMITTEES.

Washington. December 1s.--rhe greater
portion Of the time Of the caucus of the
republican senators today was devoted
TO discussion on the Venezuelan ques-
ton. This matter was brought up I'm con

Of his suggestion that ths'senate should

ado arm for the holidays untu the commit

the necessity should arise.
A large number OF speeches We're made
after which Il was announced as the
sentiment of the caucus that there should
be no adjournment until the committees
We're perfected.
Senator Mitchell. as chairman OF the
caucus committee, was authorized 10 pre-
sent this view TO the democratic senators
and impress upon them the necessity for
speedy action In making their committee
assignments.
Among those who made speeches were
Senators Lodge Teller, Chandler. Flat
and Frye. All spoke OF the situation as
grave.
Senator Lodge dwelt upon the necessity
for having the foreign relations commit

Senator Teller presented the view that
the problem which was under discussion
was too serious FOR fastening action In
any way and intimated that n delay until
after tho holidays would do no great
harm.
The opinion was general, however. thai
congress should be prepared for and make

That /. an interesting fight which has
been in progress in the conservative old
senate In which the newer and younger
element is seeking to divide the appropri-
alton bills among the committees in
stead of referring all appropriation mea-
snres 70 one committee.
The house adopted this reform only a
few years since and It works admirably.
The main point In favor of this distriou-
ton of the various appropriation mea-
sures is the expedition Of business which
il insures The Old plan OF having an
appropriation committee, which passed
upon all the appropriations for the gov
eminent, worked well enough when the
country was smaller and the items fewer

committee and the bills came in TOO
