THE SENATE COMMITTEES.
Republicans and Democrats Confer as to the
Reorganization.

Washington. April 9..The Republican
ana Democratic senators have begun Scri-
Gus efforts to reach an understanding up
on a basis of reorganization of the Sem
ate committees. the managing committees
OF both sides of the chamber being in SEES
sion. Thursday, and the subcommittee
representing both parties met in confer
cnce for the exchange of propositions,
Senators McMillin. Galiingcr. and Carter
representing the Republicans. and Sena-
tors German, Cockrell and Faulkner the
Democrats.
The Democratic conferees outlined the
position of the Democratic side Of the
chamber to be that the Democrats should
be allowed to fill the committee places
held by Democrats in the last Congress.
The Republicans proposed that the re-
organization should take place on the
basis of percentages. This did not prove
an acceptable basis of settlement to the
Democrats. whereupon the Republicans
suggested a compromise agreement.
They called attention to the tact that
the Republican plurality over the Demo-
Gratis was now nine, whereas it was only
two.at the beginning of the last session.
This. they pointed out, would require
about 30 more committee assignments
than in 1895. They suggested that the
Democrats should make concessions that
would give the Republicans a sufficient
increase of places to permit them to take
proper care of their increased number of
senators.
The Democratic senator's We're of the
disposition to recommend favorable
consideration to the caucus committee
providing an understanding could be
reached upon the allotments for the COM
mittees on finance and appropriations
The proposition was afterward brought
to the attention of the full Democratic
caucus committee, but no definite action
was taken.

THE END HAS COME.
Associated Press In Undis-
puted Control Of Field.
United Press Goes 0utof Existence as
Newsgatherer ard Distributor.
Cooperative Plan Wins The Day Over Personal
Profit System.

Washington, April 9.-The Evening Star,
Thursday said: The United Press. Wednes-
day, ceased to exist as a news-gather-
ing and Notwithstanding organization,
thus happily ending the war between The
Associated Press and the United Press,
that has been raging for nearly four
years. The United Press is in the hands
of a receiver, who is winding up its af-
fairs, its entire operation having ceased,
and its allied associations, the New Eng
land Associated Press, the New York
Associated Press, and the Southern AS
ISOLATED Press have Dissolved and pract-
cally all their members have entered into
contracts with The Associated Press.
The general public is interested in this
contest and its termination in so lar as
the subject matter involved was primarily
the question of whether the collection and
distribution of the news of the world
should be matter of private enterprise
and be conducted and the news con-
trolled by IL few men for personal pront,
or whether the news should be collected
by the newspapers and for them on CO.
operative plan.
The latter theory has proved trium-
phant in the struggle which has been
exceedingly fierce and bitter. The Asso-
ciatHd Press now counts IN us RANKS pr Ias
importance in the United States, and
with it's augmented strength will be able
TO cover the news field OF he world as mas
never been done before.

ciated Press who have borne the brunt of
the battle are: Victor s. Lawson, Chi

THE ASSAYE A TOTAL LOSS.
The Fatal Drift, Trying to Get Out Of Danger
Caused the Disaster.

Yarmouth, n. S., April 9.-Several tugs
returned here last night. from the scene
of the wrecked steamer Assaye. J. n. Hat
field, Canadian receiver of wrecks, who
has been at the wreck. says the bottom
is apparently ground out of the steamer.
She lies firmly on the rocks with the tide
ebbing and flowing in her, all the COM
partmcnts, of course, being, filled with
water. A large amount of the cargo is
being saved, but all in a badly damaged
condition.
Mr.. Hatfield says Capt. Carruthers told
him that he made out the Blonde rock
buoy and at once ordered the engines full
speed astern, though he saw no sign of
breaking waters to indicate the presence
of the rock, it being high water. Just
about the time the steamer was coming
to standstill she took bottom.
If the captain had not seen the buoy
and had gone right on, the accident
would not have happened, as taking the
speed off the steamer would cause her
to drift down on the rocks, which arc
small and lie between Seal Island and the
buoy. about three miles and a half from
the island and mile and half from the
buay.
The officers and crew were paid off
Thursday, and, today, proceeded to st
John.

The Features Of The Days Dealings in All

New York. April Q.

the market has by no means yet attained
large proportions. The market opened
with quite an upward tendency and as
prices worked upward there was a broad

number of unfayorable influences devel-

profits. This proved too much for the
market and values sagged off. closing
prices showing in most cases sharp net
losses.
There was quite a notable demand at
one time during the day for the Wander
bilt stocks. This was largely diminished
as the market gave way to depression.
