which the report will be submitted, and the
chairman of the caucus, Senator Allison, Will
make a report to the Senate, which will be
adopted.
The assignments, far as can be learned,
all coincide with the predictions made in these
dispatches of November II. Senator Penrose
has captured the important vacancy on Finance,
made doubly important by the prospect of some
revision of the tariff schedules at the first ses-
portant place, the assignment to Appropria-
TONS falls to Senator Gallinger Senator's Fos-
ter. of Washington, Quarles and Alger are as
signed to Commerce, and Senator Mitchell goes
TO Judiciary. Senator Hansbrough secures the
vacancy Irrigation. accorded TO him because
of his authorship of the National Irrigation
bill. Senator Hanna becomes chairman of the
Interoceanic Canals. Penrose of Postoffices and
Postroads, Gallinger of the District Of Column
bia, and Dillingham; of immigration. Senator
Elkins having voluntarily withdrawn from
Postoffices and Postroads, the place goes to his
colleague. Senator Scott II is said by the
chairman Of the Committee on Committees,
Senator Hale, that the committee never for a
moment contemplated putting Senator Smoot

property OF private owners arising from the
construction OF the canal shall consist of two
persons nominated by the President of the
United States and two by the government Of
Panama, and that in case OF disagreement the
two governments shall appoint an umpire to

suls of Panama. wifi sail from New-York on

itself He believes he can reach Panama by
December Z and that ratification can be ef-
fected not later than December 10.
One Of the chief reasons for sending the trea-

be decided there whether IL shall be approved
only by the junta or whether the municipalities
shall have the privilege Of taking part in rati-
fcafion All the representatives Of Panama
