Minority Of Republicans Dis

Gives Balance Of Power on Two
Important G Committees to
Silver Men.
cpecial Session Of the Senate
i Ended by Adjournment
to Monday.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Re.
publican caucus committee Of the sen-
ate held only q brief session during the
day and adjourned. There is dissatis-
faction on the part Of some senators
with the prospect of continuing the
present division Of the parties in the
committees, and in conversation they
manifested disposition to hold out for
q more definite arrangement. Those
who represent this element contend
that if the Republican party is to he
required to continue the responsibility
for the organization, it is only fair that
they should be given control OF the
more important committees, and they
instance the committees on finance and
OH appropriations. As the committees
now stand they are silver committees.
six out Of the eleven members OF each
of them being either Democrats or Sill
yer Republicans. The silver Repnb-
licans hold the balance of power in
both committees. The more conserva-3
tive Republicans hold, however, that it
is impracticable to secure any better
arrangement than the one proposed.
