Come.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., April 9.-tSpe-
cial )-Neither the Senate nor House De-
ing in session to-day. the Capitol was
very dull, and the newsgatherers had
% depend upon a stray senator or con-
gresham. or the Senate Committee on
Finance. which was wrestling with the
tariff bill. for any information TO base
reports on. The attempt Of the Repubh-
cans to reorgan.ze the committees OF
the Senate has brought out some very
interesting developments regarding the
alleged continuous character of that
body. Some contend that the Senate is
always in existence. and that ii is q
never-dying body; while others argue
that it expires with every Congress. just
Is the House does. The latter is the
Republican contention. and II 1t pre-
walls. IL will involve a complete reor-
ganization of all the committees. On
the other hand, the Democratic steering
committee will insist on reorganization,
as far as vacancies are concerned, but
that every existing vacancy shall be
filled by senator of the same polit-
It. -l 1S
The Republicans are considerably en-
barrassed in their efforts TO proceed TO
the reorganization of the committees b.
an implied pledge made 10 Senator Kyle
Populis) during his canvass for re-elec-
ton in South Dakota. 1t is claimed that
Mr.. Kyle was induced TO cooperate with
the Republicans and that Republicans
In the Legislature were induced 10 vote
for him by the promise that. II Senator
KYLE was reelected. he should have Pet
tigrew's place chairman OF the COM
mittee on Indian Affairs. and also go on
the Committee on Appropriations In
place of Pettigrew.
No visible progress has been made to-
ward carrying this pretty and pic
turesque deal into effect and the two
Populists who are disposed To affiliate
with the Republicans in this enterprise
are correspondingly disappointed. Some
doubt is now expressed as TO whether
Mr.. Kyle will vote with the Republicans
at all; certainly not, 1T seems. unless the
implied pledges made him in advance
are fully carried out.
WALKER IN HOT WATER.
General James A. Walker is in hot
water over the United States marshal
GINA 1t has been generally Believed
that he had slated Mr.. Henry Mccoy,
of Bristol, for the place. but the APP
pearance of eX-CongresSman Henry Nj.
Bowen here has lent new phase to the
situation. Mr.. Bowen, who is very
amiable gentleman. was to-day rein
forced by ex-State Senator j. 5. Giles
pie. his brother-in-law, of Tazewell
county one of the most prominent and
Virginia Together. they corralled Gene
raj Walker and the trio repaired to
room in the Metropolitan, where the
marshalship and the patronage situa-
ton in the State in general were ear
nestly discussed, but with what result
is not known.
s. Brown Allen Is also a candidate for
this position, and he is said to have the
all-powerful influence of majority of
the State Executive Committed which
makes the contest still more interesting.
and Il will bring into play all General
Walkers well-known conversational
and argumentative abilities before IL is
ended.
Another arrived is x-Republican-Con-
gresham William Il. Gaines, of Burke
Vile Nottoway county, Va. Mr.. Gaines
has some fond recollections of Washing
ton. and he would like to return here
but does not see his way clear. He
does not want a foreign mission or
big consulate but he would be willing
10 accept the SUPPLEMENTARY OF the
Dead-Letter Office In the Post-Oihce De-
partment. There are probably a score OF
applicants for this and similar places,
and the influence will have to be power
full to secure any OF them.
