WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Tbe fact
transpired today that the Democratic
steering committee of the Senate held
meeting in this city of three hours
duration on Wednesday last. The
members who were present are Very
reticent as to what occurred. but If is
known a thorough canvass was made
OF the Democratic situation with a
view to deciding upon line of policy
In the next session.
The question of organization of the
Senate was discussed at length.
The committee did not reach a. final
conclusion on this matter but when
II adjourned there was a general nm
uerStandlng that unless future events
should make change desirable. the
committee will recommend to the Dem
ocrats in the Senate to make no move
whatever until the Republicans and
Populists shall develop their plans. 1t
appeared from the discussion that the
democratic senators are divided as to
the policy to pursue, some advocating
an active effort to retain Democratic
control of the Senate while others adj
wise surrender to the Republicans with
out a, struggle.
Wise to Wait.
The steering committee finally con-
Guided it would be wise to wait until
IT was mace pain whether the Repub-
leans would be a unit in their desire
to take control and whether the Popu-
lists would hold the ground or some
OF them would agree to assist the Re
publcanS. This the committee felt the
Democrats could afford to do, in view
of the fact that the Senate is a con-
tinuing body and the present organi-
cation holds until supplanted by an
other by the will of the Senate. In case
of the absence of the vice-preSident it
would become necessary to elect a
president pro tenn, but it is believed
that Vice-President Stevenson's pres
ence can be counted upon.
Some of the Democratic senators con-
sidered it very doubtful if the Repub-
licans can get together on plan OF
At any rate they do not
expect the Republicans to take agrees
sive steps until after the Utah sena-
tors shall come in and it shall be de-
termined what disposition shall be
made of Mr.. DupOnts claims to the
vacant seat from Delaware. There
are indications that the committee also
considered the general question of
party policy which refers to legisla-
ton which shall be proposed by the
in the Senate and House
and there are reasons for believing
that the steering committee will rec
a determined effort all along
the line to restore Democratic pres
tige in the country. One plan which
will be adopted to this END
is that of insisting upon q thorough
discussion of all questions which may
be presented. Members Of the COM
mittee therefore scout the idea of a
short session.

Bannocks May Hunt and Whites
Cannot Help Themselves.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Commis-
sioner Browning said today that the
decision of Judge Riner. upholding the
hunting rights of the Bannock Indians.
confirms the view of the interior de-
partment that it is not competent for
the state of Wyoming TO pass any law
which would modify. limit, or in any
way abridge the right of the Indians
to hunt as guaranteed by the treaty.
and the game laws of Wyoming as
against the treaty rights of these In
dams are absolutely null and void.
1t is not the purpose of the Indian
office to allow the Indians to roam
away from the reservation, but every
effort will be made to keep them at
home and make them earn their own
living. With this end in view efforts
are making to get the Indian reserva-
tion irrigated so that farm lands could
be utilized.
