complexion OF the committees, and SEN
tators concurred in this view. Senator
Plat of New York was the only new
Republican senator not present, but none
of the new men volunteered any sugges-
tons. The caucus adjourned 10 meet
again on Monday, when Senator Allison
Will announce his committee.
1t was pretty well understood that Ii
would be impossible for the Republicans
10 organize the senate committees on
Republican basis, and that silver Re-
pubiicans and Populists who have COM
mittee places OF importance could not
bed isturbed under present conditions.
OF course the greatest difficulty this
phase of the situation presents is that Of
filling the vacancies OF the finance COM
miJtee, from which tariff bill must
be reported. At present there are two
vacancies, one on the Democratic and
the other on the Republican side.
THE BALANCE OF POWER.
The two large parties are equally 81
vidsd, with Jones OF Nevada, Silver Re-
publican. holding the balance Of power.
The Republicans, by filing one vacancy
and giving the other 10 the Democrats.
will have no assurance of securing a re-
cancies and place Mr.. Jones with the
minority members. would cause great
opposition among the Democrats. To ar
range these difficulties, il possible. is
what the advisory committee is expect
ed TO do. Ii was also recognized in the
caucus that such men SIS Teller of Colo
RADIO and Pettigrew OF South Dakota
could not be removed from their chair
manships and places on the appropria-
tons committee any more than could

The opposition OF the three parties. which
can, by combinat ton, orgfianize the SEN
ate. For this reason the advocacy of re-
organization on wholly Republican lines
was abandoned almost as soon as
preached. The general desire seemed TO
be 10 secure such an organization as
would result in continuing the commit
tees in charge Of Republicans with such
assistance as could be secured from
other Sources
