REPUBLICANS FEEL CONCERN
Tariff Bill Will Pass the Senate When the
Opposition Gets Ready.

Washington, March 1.-THE Republi-
can caucus committee of the senate was
in session again today considering the
| organization Of the senate. The COM
mittee IS yet quite a distance from an
agreement, and it may be decided to
make no attempt to organize the COM
mittees for the present.
The tariff situation is giving the Re-
publ;cans some concern. They feel sure
that the tariff biz can pass but it is now
believed that the debate is going to be
extended in the senate. II is known that
the intention Of the Democrats is 70 talk
on every subject IN the bill. The delay
is regarded by some Democrats as good
party policy. After the schedules of the
bill become known 1t is believed there
will be great increase of importations
in order 10 take advantage of duties I'M
der the lower rates now existing.
After the new bill goes into effect there
eral months and consequent falling off
in receipts and the bin which was de-
signed 20 Increase the revenues, they
say, as matter OF fact will show a de-
crease. This vew is taken by quite a
number OF Democrats, who say that Il
is their policy to have the bill passed.

Washington, March 1.-THE Republi-
| can committee on the situation in the
| senate held meeting this afternoon.
| BESIDES the full membership of the COM
| mittee, there were present the new Re
| publican senator's, Foraker. Penrose.
! Wellington, Plat, Mason, Spooner. Fair
banks and Hanna.
| The conference with the new senators
was for the purpose of advising them OF
the difficulties in the way Of filling COM
| mittee assignments. AT present, none OF
| the new senators will have committee
places, and if there Is no reorganization
they will be without places. The situa-
ton was explained by members Of the
committee as being one of considera bic
Importance. The Democrats insisted that
III making up the committees all the sill
yer Republicans and Populists should be
included in the majority assignments,
and all the minority places conceded to
the Democrats. The Republicans, said
one OF the committee TO the senator's,
must give place 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. Nor was there the slight
es. understanding that the silver Repub-
leans or Populsts would support the
party ostensibly in control on single
proposition.
There was entire agreement and har-
mony on the part Of ali who participated
in the conference today, the new sena-
tors recognizing the difficulty that ex-
;sts in the situation. While no definite
conclusion was reached, it is probable
tina. for the present nothing will be done
and the committees will remain untitled.
Meanwhile the Republican committee
will have a further conference with the
Democratic committee.
AS result of the several conferences
which have been held, not only by the
Republicans but by the Democrats, IL
may be definitely said that the men who
have been appointed by the governors
in states where legislatures have had no
opportunity 10 elect. will not be admit
ed. The Republican managers say that
il would Le fruitlesS waste of time to
bring the cases before the senate as,
evne after debate, Of which no one
could predict the end, it is not at all
likely that favorable vote could be ex-
pected. The men who come to Wash
ington with appointments from the gov
errors will be advised that time cannot
De given ID discussion of their cases and
that the legislatures which have failed 10
elect must be responsible for the vacan-
cies IT. the states representation.
