RECORD OF CONGRESS
PROPOSITION OF DEMOCRATIC SEN
ATORs Is AGREED TO.
Details of Negotiations Regarding
Committee Places Left to q
subcommittee.

Washington, April 26.-The republican
senators in caucus have decided to accept
the proposition made by .hc opposition
for the filling of senate committees, le;sv-
ing the arrangement of details to Senator
McMillan's committees. The caucus also
considered the question of filling elective
offices of the senate. and The managing
committee was authorized to negotiate
with the opposition to the end of securing
division of these places. Both the places
of secretary and sergeant-at-arms of the
senate are vacant and the republicans
think they should be allowed to mama a
man to fill one of these places. The de-
tails of this negotiation will be left TO a
subcommittee consisting of Senators Nc
MILAN, Lodge and Spooner.
The vacancies in chairmanships to be
filed are the following: Coast defenses,
examination of the several branches Of
civil service naval affairs. privileges and
elections, public lands, territories and for
estry reservations.
OF these places 1t is practically certain
that Senator Hale will be assigned to the
head of naval affairs, Senator Chandler
to privileges and elections. Senator Hans
brough to public lands and Senator Shoup
to the territories.
Speeches favorable to the acceptance CT
the democratic proposition were made by
Senators Allen, Mcmillan, Lodge and
Spooner, and in opposition by Senators
Chandler, Wolcott and Proctor. The only
new senators who expressed themselves
were Messrs. Mason and Fairbanks, who
advocated acceptance.

Bills Pushed Through the British CO.
IumbIa Legislature.

Victoria, B. c., April 26.-There has
been much talk over Kellie's vigorous
attack in committee on the Nelson q
Fort Sheppard bill, which extended the
time for the company to survey and take
up the land grant. Kellie denounced In
strong terms the railway taking timber
off mining claims and ievying tribute on
miners to be allowed to keep their timber.
In support of this Kellie brought out a
number of affidavits of miners with COM
plants substantiating what he had said.
In reply to this the attorney general
said that If miners had any complaint OF
this kind all they had to do was to take
out legal proceedings and the courts
would soon bring the company to time II
they were acting Illegally
The Cassair Central railway aid bill on
the second reading being moved by Pre-
mier Turner, provoked great deal Of
criticism from the opposition The bill,
as stated yesterday. leases certain
amount of land to the railway for %
years, and miners going on that particu-
lar land must go halves With the COM
pany on minerals taken out. This was
the feature of the bill that caused debate.
the government saying that there was
plenty of mineral land outside the lease,
and that unless the railway were built
the country was too hard for miners 20
go in and work probably.
The second reading passed on division
by to 10, and the British Pacific bill, OK
tending the time for commencing expend-
iture required to hold the charter, passed
the second reading. The Barkerville, Ash
croft & Kamloops railway bill was read
the third time and passed, and the second
reading passed of the bill to appoint q
mining inspector.

WAR AND STATE OF BUSINESS.
Uncertainty of the situation Has Az

New York, April 25-If Turkey or
Greece had been wholly buried in the sea
the markets might have been affected less
than by the outbreak of war in Europe.
Like fire in the heart of crowded city,
1t raised the question whether a general
confiagration might spring out of it. no
this possibility, and not to the direct in
fiuence of either Turkey or Greece, upon
the worlds money or produce market was
due the excitement in grain and stocks.
As the unknown is magnified, American
markets were much more Tightly than the
European, where possibilities have been
discussed and partly discounted for
months. The uncertainty remains and
will affect the movement OF money snd
staples until 1t disappears, creating a
larger demand for American products at
higher prices. says r. c. Dun s. Co.'S, in

PROGRAM OF DEMOCRATIC CHIEFS.
Senator's Are Opposed to Long Delay
ON the Tariff HILL


Washington, April 22.-There has been
some discussion OF the probable program
of the democratic members of the finance
committee with reference to the tariff
bill, and it is learned that while their
plans are not definitely matured, they in
tend to have reasonable consideration of
the bill in committee, and they believe
they win have the support of Senator
Jones of Nevada upon any fair PROPOSE
ton they may submit. The democrats
do not want extended consideration in
committee, but desire to offer some
amendments after they see the bill, the
adoption of which they now consider
they would be more likely to secure in
committee than in open senate. 1t is said
in the senate that the democratic plan
is not to delay the bill any longer than
Is necessary, but that any senator desir-
ing to discuss it shall have an opportu-
nifty to do SO, and such record votes as
they think necessary will be made. This
policy will be pursued to the end. In
this connection 1t may be stated that
the democrats of the senate do not ap-
prove of the policy of Mr.. Bailey and
his fellow democrats in the house.
The republican members of the finance
committee of the senate have reached
an agreement either to strike out the
retroactive provision of the Dingley tariff
| bill or so to amend it as to pave the way
| for it's being stricken out in conference,
and have so notified the democratic MEM
bers of the committee The democrats
have agreed, in view of this promise, not
| to press the Vest resolution on the sub
| ject of Secretary Cages recent circular.
1t is also learned that the rates in the
metal schedule have been made close to
the present law, and the same is said OF
the cotton schedule. The chemical sched-
ule is understood to be about completed
Many changes in it in the direction OF
| reductions have been made.
