Washington, Feb 3.-The democratic senators perfected today what they believe to be a compact organization to defeat the Santo Domingo treaty and place the minority in a position to compel a strict party vote on other questions likely to arise during the present session. Two resolutions were adopted at a caucus continuing five hours, which the democrats assert not only will dispose of the Dominican treaty, but will furnish the precedent for demanding a united party vote on all questions that may be considered partisan in their character, when two thirds of the democratic senators so decide.
 The resolutions follow:
 Resolved that the senate ought not to advise and consent to the treaty between the United States and the re- public of Santo Domingo, now pend ing before the senate.
 Resolved, that if two thirds of the caucus shall vote in favor of the fore going resolutions, it shall be the duty of every democratic senator to vote treaty.
 Those who were absent from the caucus were MessFs.- Berry, Clark of Montana, Gearin, McLaurin and Stone, all out of the city. Patterson with drew before the vote was taken. MT Teller voted for the first resolution and was excused from voting on the second. and Messrs. McEnery and explanation. The first resolution was
