noon by Chairman Thomas Gahan cf
the democratic central committees. who
introduced Charles $. Thornton an tenn
porary chairman. Ex-Governor Altgeld
was not present. hut IL was well known
that he was to dominate the gathering.
The slate included Carter Harrison for
mayor. A long wrangle took place In
the committee on resolutions over the
financial plank. The platform as pre-
sented by the committee made no direct
reference TO free silver coinage. but as
cribed the prevailing business depres-
sion to the present monetary system.
which IL condemned. and ended by
lauding William J. Bryan and ex-Gov-
ernor Altgeld. Municipal reform was
advocated. The resolutions commit the
party to franchise compensation and
the anti-department store movement.

nation by his chief ex-rival. A. $
Trude. and the nomination was made

and the senate. 1t is known that two
schedules have been submitted TO the
members of the finance committee. one
being the chemical schedule. Without
making a close examination, II is un-
derstood that senators think that the
rates are In some cases higher than the
law Of 1890. As soon as the new bill Is
presented the republican members OF
the finance committee will begin con-
sideration OF IL even before Il passes
the house In order TO have II brought
before the senate at an early day.
There was some talk at one time that
the republican members OF the finance
committee would be consulted by the
ways and means committee while the
latter was at work on the tariff In .oi :
der that a measure might be framed
which would require as little amendment
by the senate as possible. This has not
been done nor was IL expected by the
senators.
Al present the only definite part OF
the programme of the republican SEN
ators is to bring the tariff bill before
the senate as soon as possible and press
II with all possible speed. ..t

Washington, March 1l.-Affairs at the
white house are fast assuming their
normal aspect and there Is a marked
falling of of the crowds of public men
and OF the general visitors. There was
comparative quiet to-day In Secretary
Porters Office and In the rooms.
so that the president was able to give
considerable time to public business.
Among the callers to-day were Sem
ators Morrill, Of Vermont. Cullom and
Mason OF Illinois. Platt OF Connecticut,
White Of California. Spooner Of Wis
consin. Stewart Of Nevada, Clarke and

President McKinley's nominations OF
the four ambassadors which have been
anxiously awaited for some days are To

dor to Germany. Ex-Governor Merriam

Washington. March 1.-THE republic
can committee OF the senate held a
meeting this morning. Besides the full
membership OF the committee there
we're present the new republican sena-
tors. Foraker. Penrose, wellington.
Platt, Mason. Spooner. Fairbanks and
Hanna. The conference with the new
senators was for the purpose OF ad-
vising them of the difficulties In the
way OF filling committee assignments.
Al present none OF the new senators
will have committee places, and II there
Is no reorganization they will be with
out places. The situation was explain
ed by members Of the committee as be-
ing one OF considerable Importance
The democrats insisted that in making
up the committees all the silver repub-
licans and populists should be included
In the majority assignments. and all
the minority places conceded TO the
democrats. The republicans, said one
or the committee to the senators,
must give places to silver republicans
and populists who would not act with
them, but on the other hand would be
likely to vote with the democrats in
committee and in the senate on many
OF the questions to come before that
body. Nor was there the slightest un-
derstandng that the silver republicans
and populists would support the party
ostensibly In control on a single propo-
sition.
There was entire agreement and har-
mony on the part Of those who partici-
lated In the conference to-day, the new
senators recognizing the difficulty that
exists In the situation. While no defi-
mite conclusion was reached 1t Is prob
able that for the present nothing will
be done and the committees will remain
untitled. Meanwhile the republican
committee will have a further confer
ence with the democratic committee.
As result of the several conferences
which have been held, net only by
republicans but by the democrats, il
may be definitely said that the men
who have been appointed by the gov
ernors In states where Legislatures have
had an opportunity to elect will not be
admitted. The republican managers
say that u would be o frIlitless waste
Of time to bring the cases before the
senate. as even after q debate, Of which
no one could predict the ending. 1t IL
not at all likely that q favorable vote
could be expected The men who come
to Washington with appointments from
the governors will be advised that time
cannot ue given to the discussion of
their cases and that the legislatures
which have failed to elect must be re-
sponslble for the vacancies In the SEN
ate's representation.
