The Democrats. Silver Republicans
and PopuIists Can Control The Sen
ale Committees and Offices

Washington, March S-All parties in
the Senate devoted considerable time to-
day to the solution of the problem Of
filing the Senate committee. The Re
publican committee on the situation and
the Democratic steering committee both
held meetings. The Democrats decided
to call caucus for tomorrow afternoon
The silver Republicans and POpulists
also were in conference. No definite
conclusion was reached by either or
ganization, and none is probable on the
part OF the other parties until after thu
Democrats decide upon line Of action.
1t still looks as If the Democrats would
have no difficulty in making a coalition
with the silver Republicans and the
Populists for the control of the commit
tee, but they are in doubt whether such
combination would be wise. There is
disposition manifested on the part of
the more conservative members of both
the Republican and Democratic ranks
to allow the present organization to
stand, giving the Democrats a slight in
crease over the Republicans in the new
committee appointments.

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
1t stands as to the Vote Relatively tho
Same as in the Old Senate.

Washington, March S.--Most of the
new Senators were on the floor when
Fice-President Hobart called the Senate
to order at noon to-day. The galleries
were thronged with curious visitors. AS
soon as the blind chaplain had delivered
his invocation, Mr.. Pruden, the Presi-
dents executive clerk, appeared with the
nomination of Oscar A. James, to be
Pension Agent at Detroit, Michigan. an
appointment made necessary to fill a va
cancy. Some routine business was trans
acted and then the Senate went into
executive session.
Senator Davis, chairman of the For.
eign Relations committee, offered a reso-
luton referring back to that committee
the treaty of arbitration. At the close
of the session of Congress pending Iap-
islation which has not been acted unon
fails. In the case of the treaty how
ever, it remains as it came to the Senate
from the President, but all pending
amendments offered in the Senate or
proposed by the committee failed and
have to be reoffered
As soon as Senator Davis had offered
the motion, Senator Morgan raised the
point that this could not be done. There
was considerable discussion as to the
parliamentary status of the treaty, and
after it had been explained, the resolu.
ton Of Senator Davis was adopted with
out division.
meeting Of the Foreign Relations
committee has been called for Wednes-
day at II o'clock, at which time the
treaty will be considered. At present
there are two vacancies on the commit
tee, both on the Republican side. but It

WRIT HABEAs CORPUS GRANrBD.
Jim Pittman Released After Hearing
Before Judge DOUGLASS.

The writ of habeas corpus sued out
last Friday by Jim Pittman (colored),
who was in Jail here, having failed to
give a $4,000 bond to keep the peace, was
heard before Justice Douglas, of the
Supreme court, yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock.
Only two witnesses were put on the
stand-Deputy Sheriff Ranes, who made
the arrest, and the prisoner, Jim Pittman.
Ranes said that the charge against Pitt
man was made by his wife, Leila; that
the warrant was sworn out before Magis-
trate J. c. Fort; that he arrested and
carried Pittman before Fort and it was
decided, no witnesses being present for
the defendant, that a trial was unneces-
sary and he was thereupon bound over
in a 5000 bond to keep the peace. Pitt
man failed to give this bond and was
committed to jail
The prisoner next TESTIFIED. He said
he was simply taken before the magis-
trate and told that his wife had sworn
out a peace warrant, and that he would
have to give a bond of 5000 to keep the
peace. The defendant said he was not
told what the evidence against him was
nor asked whether he desired to give any
testimony or not. He was unable to give
the bond and was sent ON to Jail.
Mr.. w. L. Watson appeared for the
defendant and argued that the Consti-
tuition gave to every man the right, in all
criminal prosecutions, ito be informed of
the accusation against him and to con-
front the accuseTs and witnesses with
other testimony" This not having been
done he asked that the prisoner be dis
charged from further custody.
Justice Douglas took the matter under
adyisement and at O'Clock rendered his +
decision releasing the prisoner.
1t is learned, though the fact was not
brought out in the investigation, that
Pittmam's wife, whom he is charged with
threatening, is intimate with two other
men in the neighborhood and it was
through their instigation that she had her
husband arrested.

Senator Pritchard called at the White
House this afternoon and had talk with
President Mckinley about the patronage
for North Carolina. The Senator was
with the President for about half an hour
and when she came out he wore a self
satisfied smile which indicated that his
interview was everything de desired. 1t
is not liable that any North Carolina
Republican will be appointed to Office
within the next few days.
1t was said to-day that Skinner will be
treated very handsomely by the admin

that Senator Butler will not be ignored
as Mark Hanna desires the influence OF
that gentleman when the time comes to
vote ON seating the Senators appointed

Kentucky.
