SENATE REORGANIZATION.
Regarded as Practically Settled Tha,
the Republicans shull Do 1t.


Regarded as Practically Settled That
the Republicans Shall Dol
1t is now regarded by the members of the
steering committees of both parties as
practically settled that the republicans are
to reorganize the committees of the Sem
ate as soon as the Fifty-fourth Congress
assemblies. This was matter Of serious
doubt when Congress adjourned on the 4th
of March, but it was expected to be settled
some time during the recess between the
chosen leaders on both sides. The repub-
licans have not contemplated any sort Of
compact with those Senators who We're
elected as populists, and therefore their
ability to organize the committees was left
dependent upon their getting the support
of the silver Senators and the consent of
the democrats.
The democratic leaders are willing that
there should be a reorganization, provided
1t Is done in manner which they consider
fair, and 1t is understood that the silver
Senators are assured of being taken care
of as they desire. On this plan a general
understanding has been reached, without
going into details. 1t Is said that silver
majority, will still be maintained in the
finance committee. and that there will
probably be a distribution of the aappro
priation bills among several committees.
Senator Don Cameron will probably go on
this committee. The der.pcrats will prob
ably receive more consideration in the dis
tribution of honors than they would If
there were a clear republican ma jority,
but, on the whole, the coFm1ttee organiza-
ton will be relinquished tp the republicans.

Effect of the News From the Far
East. ~ -
NEW YORK, March 30.-The rise in silver
today Is due to the granting of an armis-
tice and the renewed hope of declaration
of peace between China and Japan on terms
which will compel China to pay heavy
indemnity, thereby requiring her to come
into the market as a buyer Of silver. 1t is
expected also that with the close of the war
a revival Of trade in the east will take place.
which will make an increased demand for
silver.
The Evening Post says: 1.-THE days most
noteworthy movement in any market was
the sudden and violent advance in silver
bullion. Nearly all of this rise of 3-4 pence
per ounce was made in London before our
market opened and was a plain result Of
the days news from Japan Confidence in
q demand for silver, as an outcome of
peace between the contending oriental
nations, must be based chiefly on expecta-
ton Of large indemnity award by China
to be paid in silver"

by q well-built brick building and stable.
and the bidder submits that the house
could be turned into an engine house BY
the construction of solid floor on the
street grade. bringing it all within the
limits Of the appropriation.
The appropriation for engine house No.
2 site and building, was but SIS 900. and
SO far the Commissioners have failed in
their efforts to secure site at a price
which would leave sufficient for the ereo-
tion Of a suitable house. It would not seem
that the bids opened today are likely to
help them very much. and it il not at all
unlikely that 1t will be necessary to ad-
yertise for bids for q third time.

Mr. Cleveland has managed to Impress
some of the shrewdest politicians of his
party with the idea that he wants another
nomination. AS strange as 1t may seem
this idea is not one held alone by idle gos-
sipers, but is seriously entertained by
many of the leading men. German. as
practical politician as he is, is quoted as
expressing the firm conviction that Cleve-
land intends to be candidate, and there
are others, as active as is the Maryland
Senator in the management of the party's
affairs, who express similar opinion.
They attribute to Mr. Cleveland feeling
that he has mission stitl unfulfilied. and
the belief on his part that once. more be-
fore the people he can get a complete vic

designs is correct, 1t is that arrived at by
some of the Oldest politicians in the party,

1t Is intimated that in furtherance of his

with the proposition to reorganize the de-

to serve him.. 1t is said that he would like

Paris Newspapers on the Utterances
of Sir Edward Grey.
PARIS, March 3O.-Most Of the French
newspapers today agree that NJ. Hanotaux.
the minister Of foreign affairs, must reply
to the utterances of Sir Edward Grey, the
parliamentary secretary for foreign affairs,
in the British house Of commons on Thurs
day night, with energetic protests.
Newspapers take the view that Sir Ed
ward Grey's statement was simply 'swag-
GER" arising from the fear that the gov
ernment would find itself in the minority
unless it makes a patriotic display.
The Figaro says: 1.-The quay d'orsay, the
French foreign office, will again show that
it knows how, without losing it's temper, to
put the British foreign office In its proper
place.
