ORGANIZATION OF SENATE.


All qut sttons concerning the preliminary
organizatio. of the Senate we're finally adj
justed yesterday afternoon and last night
as a result OF several conferences between
Lieutenant Governor Gilbert and a num-
Der OF the prominent senators. The out
come is that the following slate. which has
heretofore been unofficially forecasted. is
now announced as the programme which
will be carried out at to-nights caucus:
President Pro Tenn. L. Matson, In
dianapolis.
Caucus Chairman-E. A. Dausman,
Goshen.
Joint Caucus Chairman--w. A. Kittinger.
Anderson.
ecretary-Harmon L. Hutson. Indian
apolis.
Assistant-Fred Snyder, Angola.
Doorkeeper-Clemar PelZer, Boonville.
Senator Kittinger, who has been candi-
date for caucus chairman, last evening
withdrew and he will be made the Sen
ates choice for chairman of the Joint
caucus which will nominate Senator Fair
banks for reelection. 1t is established
precedent that the chairman of this joint
caucus shall be a member OF the Senate.
AS result OF these arrangements every
thing is in order for a harmonious caucus
and opening OF the session. Every member
OF the majority is well pleased with the
programme and the Senate will start off
under the most suspicious conditions.
One of the best features Cf the opening
IS that the committee on rules will be ready
TO report the first day. and for the first
time In its history the Senate will be able
TO get down to actual work on the second
day or the session. The Republican MEM
bers of the committee on rules are Sena-
tors f. Il. Matson, Indianapolis; a. ID. o.
born, New Castle: Fremont Goodwine, Will
Transport. and L. A. Dausman, Goshen
This committee was named by Lieutenant
Governor Gilbert shortly after the major
ity caucus, held here several weeks ago,
and it's work is almost concluded. The
committee took the old rules a basis,
but has made many changes. The old rules.
apparently, have not been changed for
forty or fifty years, as they included sew
eral regulations that have long been OBJ
solete. For instance, one rule provided
that IL shall be the duty of the principal
doorkeeper TO see that the fires of the Sen
ate chamber are kept going. Examinations
and additions have been made, and the
new rules will be in every sense up to date
and adapted to the most expeditions trans
action of business The arrangement OF
committees has also been changed in sew
erai respects. some of the old committees
being done away with and some new ones
created.
The qualifications committee. composed
OF Senators Wood, Ball and Gochenour, did
not have a meeting yesterday, but the
members will get together at O'Clock this
morning to go over the list of Senate en-
plOyes.

Washington. Jan. 9.-The rivalry be-
tween Emperor William and his uncle,
King Edward to have the first CALI on
the confidence of President Roosevelt is
creating some interesting gossip In con-
nectiol. with the announcement that the
emperor is sending Baron Won SternberS,
now Germany's diplomatic representative
at Calcutta to take charge Of the German
embassy at Washington in place of DR..
Won Holleben.
Whtn Lord Pauncefote. the British am
bassador. died last year, King Edward
appointed to succeed him Sir Michael
Herbert who for many years has been A
personal friend of Theodore Roosevelt.
When the latter was only civil service
commissioner and when Sir Micheal was
one of the secretaries Of the British lega-
ton here. they became very chumIny.
Thei, tastes for outdoor exercise were the
same and together they used to take long
walks. or horseback rides and go on
hurting trips in the west This old
friendship accounts for the marked close
social relations that row exist between
the presidents family and Ambassador
Herhert's family.
DR.. Won Helleben has not been popular
In Washington. His successor Baron Won
Sternberg. like Herbert is an old chum OF
Roosevelts and like Herbert he was for,
merry a legation secretary here. during
the year prior to the outbreak Of the
Spanish war Roosevelt. then assistant
secretary of the navy, General Wood, Won
Sternberg and Herbert were almost insep-
arabic friends. All being fond of athletic
exercise they used to ride and walk to-
gether nearly every day. There was
much rivalry as who could Guido the
other. First one then another in turn
would lay out the ride walk for the day
each trying to find the most difficult ano
toughest country possible over which tc
lead the rest in a test Of endurance. Nor
Sternberg won the admiration of Roose-
welt by frequently leading the party over
the most difficult trails that could be
found about Washington. Recently vor
Sternberg was a personal guest or the
presidents at the White House where HI
was received as one Of the family. The
two greatest European powers will nov
be represented at Washington by mel
who are personal friends Of the chic
executive. The wives OF Won Sternoert
and Herbert are American girls.
