tremely slow and tedious, owing. to her
great width. The round trip from De-
troit occupied five days, although the dis
ance was only seventy miles The Shen-
ango was taken to the Detroit dry dock.

SENATE COMMITTEES.
REPUBLICANS NOW CONTROL
THEM.


Washington, Dec. 31.--The commit
tees of the Senate yesterday passed
into the control OF the Republicans.
The change in the political complex
ion Of the committees was affected by
the adoption Of resolution organizing
the committees rs agreed upon some
time ago by the Republican and Dem
ocratlc steering committees.
The pOpulists, with the exception OF
Mr.. Kyle of South Dakota, declined to
vote, and the Republicans. having
plurality Of the Senate, were thus
enabled to adopt the resolution by a
vote of 30 to %.
Mr.. Kyle voted with the Democrats
against the reorganization. A two
hours debate followed the adoption of
the resolution, the purpose of which
was mainly political. The Democrats,
under the leadership of Senator Cor
man, ably seconded by Senator Harris,
attempted to show that the reorganiz-
alton was affected by an alliance be-
tween the Republicans and P0pulists,
-cOnrending the reorganization indicated
acquiescence. He also insisted that the
Republican assumption Of control sad
died them with responsibility for legis-
lation.
The Popullsts, led by Senator Allen
Of Nebraska, and Senator Butler of
North Carolina, denied that they were
in any way responsible for the result.
The Republicans. under the leadership
OF Senator Mitchell. chairman of the
Republican steering committee. and as
aistcd by Senators Hoar Hale, Allison
and Chandler. cOmbatted the argu-
ment of the Democrats by asserting
most emphatlcally that the Populists
had even refused TO make any sug-
gestions MS to their committee assign.
mcnts, and had. as n matter of fact,
been left by the reorganization In the
positions TO which they had been as
signed under the Democratic control of
the Senate.
During the debate II was stated by
Senator Vest and corroboratcd by Sem
ator Teller that the reorganization was
made possible by the agreement to
put Mr.. Wolcott. frce-coinage man,
on the finance committee, thus making
that free-coinagc committee. That
Is the concrete of the whole matter,
and without that concession the reor-
gnnization would not have been put
through
Before the reorganization, Henry
Cabot Lodge, the senator from Massa-
chusctts, who has Il brilliant reputation
rs II historical blographer, delivered mn
address on the Monroe doctrine. Al
though temperate In language, he took
the ground that unless we insisted
that Venczuela's dispute with Great
Britain should be submitted TO friendly
arbitration. we would surrender the
essence, spirit and vital principle OF
the Monroe doctrine. which he con-
tended was rs essential 10 the safety
and welfare Of the Americans ms the
balance Of power was TO the safety and
welfare OF European nations.
