appointed to consider the five alternative
recommendations recently made by the bu-
reau chiefs regarding the construction
of three torpedo boats, bids for which were

bureau recommendations two boats were
to be awarded to the Columbian iron
works of Baltimore, ard in the first recon-
mendation that company was awarded all
three boats. In order to secure further and
more explicit advice on the subject Sec

SENATE REORGANIZATION
Republicans May Have Difficulty in Filling
the Finance Committee
Silver Men Want the Place of Senator
McrhersOn Some Of the Names
Most Frequently Mentioned.
REORGANIZATION

In the gossip about the reorganization Of
the Senate it is ninted that the probabilities
are very great that the republicans will
have difficulty in choosing successor on
the committee on finance to Senator Nc
Pherson. The filling of this place will, in
all probability. be the first contest which
will occur in the next Congress between
the silver men and the anti-silver men,
and the fight will be the less fierce
because fought under cover 1t is intimat ted
that the lines may be drawn so sharply
that reorganization may be delayed or even
defeated by 1t.
The Silver Mems Demand.
The silver men now have majority of
one in the committee. five Of the six men
constituting this majority being democrats.
The silver men are also in the majority in
the Senate, but will be in the minority in the
republican caucus. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, the caucus would control, and
in that event, and if left free to act un-
trammeled, there is said to be doubt an
anti-silver man would be selected for the
vacancy. The silver republicans have, 1t is
said, already given notice that the place
must be filled with man from their ranks,
and say that in case Of failure to make this
concession they will oppose reorganization
and leave the matter with the democrats,
who would in all probability fill the vacancy
with free silver man. Republican Sena-
tors have generally manifested a DISPOSE
tion to make the concession, but there are
some who are disposed to hold out against
1t, so that it is not absolutely settled that
the silver men shall have their own way
about 1t.
Names Prominently Mentioned.
The names most prominently heard in
connection with the vacancy are those of
Senator Cameron of Pennsylvania, Sena-
tor Wolcott of Colorado and Senator Platt
of Connecticut, the first two being favor
able to silver and the last opposed to it.
Senator Wolcott's name Is also mentioned
in connection with one of the vacancies in
the committee on foreign relations and it
Is considered probable that in view of Sem
ator Cameron's long service IN the Senate,
and of his attitude in favor of a protective
tariff policy, as well as of silver Mr.. VOL
colts friends may agree to a compromise
which will give the place on foreign rela-
uons to Mr. Wolcott and that on finance to
Mr.. Cameron. 1t has been suggested that
In order to make place on the committee
for Mr.. Platt the committee membership
should be increased from eleven TO thir-
teen. This would permit the appointment
of both a silver and anti-Silver advocate
by the republicans. and also the appoint
ment of another democratic member of the
committee, and the change may be made.
1t is recalled that the committee has been
increased from seven members to the pres
ent number in comparatively recent years.

A Special BOnrd to Examine All the
Designs Appointed.

DSSAAsAo hVpOhHteus
In answer to the advertisement sent out
by the Navy Department some time ago
calling for proposals for building three
torpedo boats. two classes of bids We're
received, one for building the boats under
plans prepared by the department and the
other under original plans submitted by
the bidders. Some of the bidders have
tried to persuade the Secretary Of the Navy
that their plans were better than the de-
partment's designs and, realizing that the
bureau officers might feel natural pre-
disposition for their own plans. the Sec
retary has created special board to ex-
anime all Of the designs and report upon
tt feir merits. The board will be composed
of Captain Converse. Chief Engineer Baird
of the Dolphin and Naval Constructor Han
scom. Captain Converse was selected be-
cause of his experience in torpedo boat
work, having been inspector of the Gushing
while she was under construction and
being at present in command of the torpedo
station at Newport. The board will meet
next Monday to begin its work.

officials of the naval ordnance bureau
deny the report that an accident has oc-
Cured to one of the new eight-inch rifles
at the Washington navy yard. They say
that the report evidently started under an
entire Misrepresentation of the nature of
certain experiments of the Sellers process
on an old gun that has been repeatedly
used for experimental purposes. This gun
has been taken apart and assembled sew
eral times and has been frequently in the
same condition in which it is now, with the
cylinder ring out of position. The expert
ment was to determine whether 1t was pos
sible to put a new tube in the rifle without
impairing its strength or usefulness, and
the ordnance experts at the department
say that the experiment was a success. 1t
was added that the gun is not DANA ged
and that the government has suffered no
loss whatever in the experiments.
