Special to The Herald.l

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Not long after
the Utah senators were seated today,
leading Republican senators who are anx-
ious to reorganize the senate Offices got
together to devise plan of campaign.
The Republicans now have forty-four
senators. the Democrats thirty-nine and
Populists six, there still being one vacan-
cy, Delaware. 1t was the understanding
among Republicans today that the six
Populists would name their own candi-
dates for Office, and after voting for them
would leave the chamber, letting the Re
publicans and Democrats fight it out. If
this is true, the Republicans will prob
ably succeed in electing their own men.
If Wolcott, Dubois and Teller, who are
warm friends of Sergeant-at-Arms Bright
decide in caucus next Thursday that they
will not vote to reorganize the senate
officers. the Republicans would still have
forty-one votes to thirty-nine for the
Democrats, and they would elect their
own officers providing the Populists stay
out OF the fight. All now depends upon
the latter.

IN THE HOUSE.
Senate Resolution Anent Reforms
in Turkey Adopted.

WASHINGTON, Dec 27.-The house
today, after an interesting four-hour
debate, adopted the resolution passed
by the senate last week calling the
powers signatory to the treaty of Ber-
lin to enforce the reforms in Turkey
guaranteed to the Christian Armenians
and pledging the support of congress to
the president in the most vigorous ac-
ton he might take for the protection
and security eli Americans in Turkey.
The house committee had prepared
some resolutions on the same subject,
but it was deemed advisable after the
senate resolutions reached the house
today to substitute them for those pre-
pared by the committee.
Mr.. Quigg of New York, who had
charge of the bill, made an able pre-
sentation Of the case, but there was
disposition on the part of some of the
members TO go further than the reso-
lutions did, and Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa
proposed to give the Turkish minister
his passports and sever all diplomatic
relations with Turkey. His remarks
denouncing the Turkish outrages and
charging that the powers signatory to
the treaty of Berlin We're actuated from
political and other considerations in
maintaining the balance of power in
eastern Europe were received with
great enthusiasm. and at one time it
looked as if the house might be car
ried by his way of thinking.
But the counsel of Mr. Hit not
to take rash action, in the
course of which he pointed out the
consequences that might result from
severance of diplomatic relations with
friendly power that had fulfilled her
treaty obligations to us, prevailed and
the Hepburn proposition was over
whelmingly defeated.
Mr.. Bailey opposed the resolution on
the ground that it would be improper
for us to Insult" the parties to the
treaty of Berlin by intimating that
they had not carried out their obliga-
tons Mr. Turner of Georgia took a
similar view and Mr.. Grosvenor of
Ohio characterized the resolution as
incomplete, insufficient and unwor-
thy" and requested the committee to
withdraw them. They were finally
passed, however. by vote of 143 to
26 after a motion of Mr.. Bailey to send
them to the committee had been de-
feated IS to 103.

PAPERS DISCUSS 1T.
ChamberIain's Speech Delivered at
birmingham on Saturday.


birmingham on Saturday.
LONDON, Jan. 27.-The newspapers
this afternoon discussed the speech
which the secretary of state for the
colonies, Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, de
livered at Birmingham. on Saturday
evening, particularly dwelling upon his
references 10 the United States and
generally praising them.
The st. James Gazette heads its ar
ticle: Why, Come over and Help
U.s." and says:
President CIeveland's government
has very good grounds for calling on
the sultan for satisfaction. If it acts
by itself it is likely to be paralyzed by
the European concert. but if 1T agrees
to cooperate heartily with us the sit
uation will be improved If the peO-
pie of the United States are really
eager to advance the cause of civiliZa-
ton and good order, they can do so
much more effectively than by encour-
aging Venezuela to defy US"
The Westminster Gazette remarks:
Mr. Chamberlain's enthusiastic adOp-
tion of the idea of American aid for
Armenia, even if its literal realization
will not come about will nevertheless
do much good in other ways, and in
the long run his speech is the best
piece of news for the oppressed Ar
menians that we have heard for a long
time

agreement There has been consider
able effort to prevail upon them to de-
sist in this course, but the friends of
the bill did not feel assured OF success
in this direction when the senate ad-
journed today. The anti-silver Repub-
licans generally say they will make no
objection to the votes being taken at
the time suggested
The reason for the objection made by
Senator Allen on Friday was developed
today He had become satisfied that
if day should be fixed for the vote the
anti-silver men would object to the
credentials of the Utah senators, have
them referred to a committee and thus
keep the new senators out of their
seats until after the day fixed for the
vote
