SENATOR'S CLEVER PLANS
Scheme Of Reorganization Talked
Over by Statesmen in Town.
Thus Avoid an Ugly Fight, but
to Elect II Finance Com mittee.

plan for Senate reorganization upon
a new and original line is being quietly dis
cussed by several Senators now III Wash
lngton.
The idea was preached a couple of weeks
ago at chance meeting of half dozeI
Senators in the Capital restaurant, and has
since been passed along for the considera-
ton of each fresh Senatorial arrival.
The origin of the scheme is the underlying
desire on the part of the conservatives and
tions to repress the silver agitation as
much as possible during the next year. To
that end 1t is proposed TO apportion the
patronage and committees or the Senate
among Republicans and Democrats accord
ing TO conference arrangement, except the
finance committee.
The proposition is TO determine the com
position or that committee by ballot, after
the rest of tile work OF reorganization shall
have been completed, the balloting TO be
strictly nom partisan in its CHARACTER. Every
Senator VIII have a chance to vote his
Individual preferences. Then, If the silver
men have majority they will have a com
mittee nodded to suit their views, and
lis creation will leave no stings or party
splits on either side.
If the silver men are not in a majority
that fact also VIII be demonstrated peace
ably and without friction.
BY the adoption OF this plan the con-
servatives hope to avoid an ugly fight which
viii involve and effect the whole machinery
of the Senate and keep both parties stirred
up through the entire session.
If victorious in the makeup of the finance
committee the silver element will have won
the battle before the country" and with
q sound money President intrenched in the
White House a theoretical advantage is all
that could be hoped for even at the end of a
prolonged and bitter struggle for points"
If the plan outlined should grow in favor
TO the stage of adoption, as seems not i'm
probable, the Republicans and Democrats
will caucus at the outset on the committees
and officers of the Senate, and refer their
separate States TO a conference for blend
ing. The project has found many friends
and few DIRECTORS thus far.
Much VIII depend on the S5tah election,
however. If the Republicans should win
the legislature in that bornin' State then
they viii have a clear majority in the
United States Senate over all, as soon as
the two new members take their seats, which
would be late in January.
If this result is foreshadowed by next
Tuesdays vote, then the whole question
Of permanent Senate reorganization may
be STAYED off as well as possible for few
weeks.
If the Republicans have clear majority
it can be set down as certain that they will
take everything due them.

MIR. HOLLAND GETS DAMAGES.


Sourt VI apPea.h [hI1lTnls ID judgment
in Suit Against Leonard Bailey.
The Court of Appeals yesterday affirmed
Judgment OF $1,000 damages i'll favor of
Milton NJ. Holland. the colored attorney,
against Leonard c. Bailey.
Mr.. Holland was several years ago presi-
dent of the Capital Savings Bank. He was
also from 1885 to 1893 in the Second Aud
itor's office in the Treasury. the latter part
of the time as chief OF division. In 1891,
when Mr.. Holland had resigned from the
bank presidency Mr.. Bailey wrote to Sepa-
tor Sherman, say wing that Mr.. Holland was
using his influence against the bank and
to the injury of the colored race. Senator
Sherman sent the letter to Mr.. Holland,
who at once brought suit.
Justice Shepard, who wrote the opinion.
says the rule is that any publication which
tends TO bring anyone into hatred, con-
tempt, or ridicule. is libel. If truth is
not proved malice is assumed. If, how
ever, the writing is in pursuance of a public
or private duty. or plainly in the interest
OF the writer, the publication becomes privi-
legged.
The court holds that the letter was cal
culated to bring disfavor upon Mr.. Hol-
land, and that as Senator Sherman had no
interest In the bank, the purpose of the let
ter was merely to ALLEVIATE him from Mr..
Holland and secure the latter's dismissal.

No Immediate Action

Secretary Herbert will take no action on
the failure of the AnImen ram Katahdin to
attain the required speed until the official
report of the trial board has been consid-
cred. 1t is likely that the Secretary will
delay disposing of the matter until Congress
meets in order to give the Bath Iron Works,
OF Bath, Maine, the contractors for the YES
sci, an opportunity to secure modification
of the explicit language Of the contract
that IL the vessel fails to make seventeen
knots she shall be rejected, instead of allow
ing her acceptance, as is customary at a
reduced price proportionate to the falling
off in speed.

lance among the neighbors' girls, and
she had no steady company. In other
respects she was worthy of the poets
concentrations. During the three years
that she has worked for Mr.. Poet she
has never asked for vacation to visit
her old home.
II never think OF the place" said
Mary, for il ! did am afraid that I

1t was through the poets own care

Mary. There is thrifty bed Of roses
in front of the poets house that is his
fad and pride. Destructive bugs and
worms, whichever they might have
been, swooped down on that bed q
week ago and threatened to destroy it.
The poet took advice and, as a conse-
quence, invested in whale oil that was
warranted to kill bugs at long range.
As he sprinkled the bushes with the
whale oil a light breeze carried the
odor OF it back to the kitchen, where
Mary was working. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Poet noticed that Mary's mind
seemed to be wool gathering while she
was serving them at luncheon. She
mixed the orders that wyre given to
her, and she made Mrs. Poet unhappy.
Before dinner was served Mary raped
at Mrs. Poets door.
