TO CONTROL The SENATE.
Democrats. silver Republicans and
PopuIists Combine.

Washington, April 10. - The final
agreement among democrats, silver re-
publicans and populists in the senate
looking to a permanent coalition was
reached at meeting OF representatives
of those parties held in Senator Cor
mans committee room. at the capitol.
The agreement had its origin in the eff
fort 20 reorganize the senate commit
tees, but il is destined. apparently. 10
reach far beyond this situation and in
fact to the future proceedings of the
senate on all matters il not 10 the ex-
tent of shaping party policies through
out the country. There were present
at the meeting:
Democrats-Senators German. Cockreli,
walthall. Jones. of Arkansas. and Muir
ply.
Silver Republicans-Senators Cannon ard
Mantle.
Populists-Senators Allen and Pettigrew.
With reference TO the matter of the
senate organization. it was decided
that the combination should hold out
for the assignment of all the places on
committees heretofore held by demo-
Gratis. while it was agreed that the re-
publicans should have the places hither-
to filled by republicans. This will give
the republicans all the committee chair
manships vacated by the retirement of
Senators Cameron. Sherman, Dubois,
Squire, Mitchell of Oregon, and Brown,
but it will give the combination about
20 vacancies. while it allows the repub-
licans only about 30. The combination
decided against making any conees-
sions, even that provided for allowing
the republicans to fill one of the three
vacancies on the committee on appro-
priations.
The silver republicans say that their
principal incentive in entering the
coalition is to protect the finance com
mittee, which, they feared. might be-
come an anti-silver organization in case
the republicans were allowed to have
their own way in committee organiza-
ton. All intention TO interfere with
the passage of the tariff bill through
the senate through the coalition of dem
ocrats, silver republicans and populists
is denied by the parties TO the agree
