Not to Be Disturbed Until Congress
Meets in Regular Session
Next December.
MEANTIME
TO CONTROL COMMITTEES.
Credentials of Senatorial Appontees TO Be Referred and
Not to Be Called Up for the Present-DaviS
Holds His Chairmanship.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-There will
probably be few vacant seats on the
Republican side of the chamber when
the senate meets at noon tomorrow
There will be none if the admonition of
the Republican steering committee is
observed; for notices were sent by the
committee today to all the Republican
senators, asking them to be in their
seats promptly upon convening tomor-
row. The purpose Of the notice could
only be surmised by it's recipients.
They concluded, however, that it was
connected in some way with the or
ganiZation Of the senate, or with pos
sible efforts that might be made to
seat the gentlemen who have been ap-
pointed to the senate to fill the Vacan-
cies from the states of Oregon, Ken
lucky and Florida. 1t is understood
that the credentials of some of these
appointees will be presented tomor-
row. A rumor has also been current
during the day attributing to the Dem
ocrats, silver Republicans and Popu-
lists an intention to try to secure con-
troll of the senate at a very early day.
If the notices grew out of either Of
these contingencies, circumstances
which transpired after they were sent
out will probably render them unneces-
sary.
The day was again crowded with con-
ferences by the leaders of the various
parties, and when night arrived 1t was
pretty definitely understood on all
sides that the contest over organiza-
ton which had been threatening for
several days should not take place;
that the present situation should be
maintained; that the Republicans
should retain the control Of the COM
mittees and the Democrats of the gen.
eral Offices. The formal agreement to
this effect may be postponed for a few

ATHENS, March 9.-There is intense
anxiety here relative to the action tho
powers will decide to adopt in the face
OF the reply of the Greek government
to their demands for evacuation "A
Crete by the Greek troops. and the
withdrawal of the Greek fleet from
the Cretan waters, Greece being wiIll
ing to give in as to the fleet, but hold{
ing that her troops should be allowed
to remain and be used by the powers
to restore order. In any case, 1t is moi
believed here that the proposed block

ATHENS, March 9.-It Is reported
that the Turkish minister has asked

danger.
DR.. Temple. archbishop Of Canter-
bury, has sent q dispatch to the Metro-
politan of Athens, in which he says
land IS praying earnestly to Almighty
God to give the Cretans liberty, justice
and peace.
The reserves continue to arrive from
the provinces and the greatest en-
thusiasm Is displayed. The full text
or the Greek reply to the powers waa
not published in the Athens papers
until this evening. 1t Is generally ap-
proved.

RUIZ's WIDOW.
She Says Her Husband Was Murde r.
ed by Spaniards.

NEW YORK, March 9.-Among the
passengers arriving ON board the Ward
line steamer Seneca, from Havana, to-
day, was Mrs. Rita Lescarel de Ruiz,
widow of DR.. Ruiz, who died in prison
in Cuba. She was accompanied by her
five children, ranging in age from three
to thirteen years Mrs. Ruiz speaks
no English. Mrs. Ruiz said that she
had nothing to add to what she had al
ready said in relation to the murder Of
her husband or his treatment as an
American citizen by the Spanish gov
ernment.
HE was foully murdered" she said,
"and will take such action as / may
be advised by my friends. 1 want to
thank the American people for the ex-
pressions of sympathy l have received
and cannot say too much Of my heart
felt thanks at the kindness of Consul
General Lee. For the present l will be
in this city with friends
Mrs. RuiZ's appearance and manner
indicate that she is in high state OF
nervousness, and in need of much care
before regaining her usual strength
and health. 1t is likely that her case
will be placed before the administra
tion at Washington as soon as possible,
in the form of a demand for indemnity
from the Spanish government.

days, but the preliminaries were agreed
upon by the representative men Of all
parties today, and it looks now as if
there would be no obstacles to the
consummation of the agreemnt. This
agreement is to be binding during the
present special session of the senate
and the coming extra session of con-
gress, it being understood that hostil-
tiles will break out again next Decem-
ber, when congress will convene In
regular session.
The compact provides for the appoint
ment Of new senators to fill the vacan-
cies caused by the retirement of their
predecessors and that Republicans
shall be appointed in the places of retir-
ing Republicans, and Democrats in the
places of retiring Democrats This Will
give the Republicans the opportunity
to fill all the vacant chatrmanShdpS.
The most important Of these are on
the committees on foreign relations,
naval affairs, privileges and elections,
and public lands. Senator Davis has
already been placed at the head Of the
foreign committee. 1t is understood
that Senator Shoup will succeed Mr..
Davis as chairman of territories, and
that Senator Hansbrough will go to
public lands and it Is probable that
Senator Hale will take naval affairs
and Senator Chandler privileges and
elections. The two vacancies on the
france committee, occasioned by the
retirement of Senators Sherman and
Voorhees,, will be filled by the appoint
ment Of a gold Republican to succeed
Sherman and a silver Democrat to take
voorhees,. place.
The agreement also provides for the
reference of the credentials Of each
of the senatorial appointees to the COM
mittee on privileges and elections,
where, it is understood, they will not
be disturbed until the regular session
in December. There are some mem
bers of the senate of all factions who
oppose this programme, but the conser-
vatives who generally control, appear
to favor it.

his words, spoken in measured and emphatic
tones, never fail to impress his hearers The
senator is a native of St Louis and is only
3S years old. His parents were poor, and
young Heitfeld, after brief study in the
grammar schools Of ST.. Louis, started out

The Gordon of Turkish troops drawn
around Akroturi has been re-attacked

There was renewed fighting last even

of the engagement is not known, but
the Greek flag was no longer visible
this morning above the insurgents po-
sition.
Advices received here from Hierape-
tria say that owing to the refusal of
the Mussulmans to surrender the fort
there, the insurgents attacked it,
whereupon the Italian cruiser shelled
the insurgents
Fighting between the insurgents and

the foreign consuls at Gambia that the

The insurgents at Candamo on hear
ing that autonomy would be granted

sui, Sir Alfred Biltiotti, inviting him to

All the Greek subjects at Retfmo
