COMMIITEE on COMMITTEES
The Republicans Accept the Proposition
ofthc Democrats.

of tho Democrats.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Repub-
ncan Committee Oh Committees OF the
senate to-day agreed unanimously to
accept, 50 far as it is empowered 10 90
so. the proposition made by the Demo
Gratis for the organization OF Senate COM
mlttees. It was also decided 10 report
this conclusion to the Republican Sena-
torial caucus. Accordingly caucus Will
be held at 10 o'clock Monday morning.
The proposition which the committee
has agreed TO accept is the one outlined
In these dispatches last night. 1t pro-
Vides that the Republicans shall I'LL al
the committee places which were filled
by Republican Senators during the last
Congress, including the craftsmanship va
Gated by the Republicans ana that they
should be given the additional place on
the Appropriations Committee vacated by
a Democrat, and that the membership
Of the Committee on POst-oiiices and
Post-roads should be increased from nine
TO ten in order TO give the Democrats an
additional place on that committee.
This arrangement will result in leaving
the Republican Senators at the head OF
all the important Senate committees, but
a majority of the membership OF many
OF them will be anti-Republican.
There are indications that the COM
mittecs recommendation will not be re-
ceived with favor by all the Republican
Senators.
Some of them think II would have been
possible for the Republicans 10 secure
the cooperation OF enough Populists 10
organize all the committees securing a
majority of the membership. as well as
the chairmanships. and this possibility
will undoubtedly be pressed upon the at
tention of the caucus, and the adoption
of the plan urged In preference TO mat
recommended by the committee.
The committee, however, Will take the
position that the plan outlined Is preIera-
BILE on the eve of the presentation or the
tariff bill TO the Senate. when hSht on
The organization Of the committees would
be unfortunate.
