REPUBLICAN, SENIORS STUMpED.
Impossible for Them to Reorgdnize the Senate Commit
tees on Purely Partisan Basis.

WASHINGTON, March "a caucus
of Republican senators was held today
to consider the reorganization Of the
senate and to name a committee to
consider the situation and report a plan
whereby the Republicans could secure
control of the important committees
of the body. Senator Allison was elect
ed chairman of the caucus to succeed
Mr.. Sherman, on motion Of Senator
Hoar and Senator Wilson was re-elect-
ed secretary. The discussion turned
upon the character of the committee TO
be appointed. Senator Cullom moved
that the usual committee on commit
tees should be appointed but after the
debate had progressed some time modi-
fled his motion so as to make it a COM
mittee on the situation to consult with
other elements in the senate and to
continue only during the present emer-
gency. The motion as modified was
agreed TO.
There We're numerous short speeches
by the older senators. The general
drift of the sentiment was against any
effort to fill the vacancies by the i'm
mediate appointment of Republicans
publican majority could be secured by
postponing the filling of the committees
until action could be secured in Oregon
and Kentucky. Senator Aldrich stated
that in all probability the governor of
Oregon would appoint a senator from
that state. The decision of the senate
in the Mantle case was referred to as
standing in the way of an appOintee be
ing seated from either Kentucky or
Oregon.
Senators Davis, Hoar and Wolcott
called attention to the Importance Of
filling the committees over which they
preside, viz: Foreign relations, judi
CARY and pOstoffices, at as early day
as practicable. These are important
committees and all of them were
seriously affected by recent retire
ments from the senate.
There was only individual reference
to other questions in the caucus. Sen

To the st. Paul Globe: desire to call the
attention of the police, through your paper
to the abuse of club privileges (which /
think they are not entirely ignorant of by
the Columbia Social club. at 3S2 Robert
street land the Young Mems Social club at
beginning those club charters we're taken for
the purpose Of evading the penalty of run
ming gambling behind doors and selling bad
liquors without a license. While there was
a saloon here, where its patrons were coIored.
the clubs, whose members are all colored
had to be a little cautious, for the saloon
people would be jealous of the trade taken
away from them, and the so-called club Of
1cials had to run their plans under the guise
Since the saloon closed these two clubs have
become places of crap games and open gam
bling, and all that goes to demoraliZe peo-
pie. 1t appears that the saloon was the only
thing they had TO watch. From the appear
ance of the wa the clubs are run it seems
that they have the police consent. little
investigation by the police will prove all said
here | wish to see something done to stop
this business in these so-called club rooms
Yours respectfully, -
A certain colored man told a report
er yesterday that he had complained
to Mayor Doran within two weeks
about these two places and the mayor
gave him no satisfaction After
wards said the man, Il was in front
of one Of those places and said to the
officer on the beat who came up, do
you know they are gambling up
there?'"

you'll get in trouble" So it seems to
me that the police have orders to let
them alone.''
The game on Seventh street Is the
closest proposition. 1t Is reported that
only those who have keys can get in
there and that the keys are limited.
Nothing but poker is played.
The raiding of the alleged gambling
house at the Smelling bridge was ap-
parently only a bluff. Mayor Doran
has been informed by letter and person
ally that gambling was going on and
the impression abroad is that he has,
in the language of the sport, decided

PIERRE, S. D., March 6.-Business
at the state house today was practi-
cally at a standstill at an early hour
this morning. All resting up from
last night. About the only matter Of
interest today is the question of appro-
priatiOns, which some estimates place
as high as $1,0OO0 600, and the final foot
ings of the general appropriation and
special bills will take it very near that
figure. The total general appropriation
is practically $S6O,O0O while the special
appropriations will carry it beyond the
100000 mark, but just how far is not
yet known. The general appropriation
carries about 100000 more than did the
bill at the '95 session, Notwithstanding
the party in power was pledged to re-
trenchment. The members are all anx-
