SENATE COMMITTEES.
Democratic List Which Was Held Up
Till Tomorrow.

Washington, April 27.-Through the
objection of Senator Cummins, the Sc
lection of senate committee was post
poned today until tomorrow.
The Iowa senator asked that the
resolution making the appointment go
over to enable the progressiveS a
chance to prepare for the conflict
which they expect will be precipitated
when they present their final demand
for addition of Senators La Toilette
and Bristow for membership on the
committee on interstate commerce
and finance respectively. Although
Senator Gallinger, chairman of the
Republican committee wanted to pro-
coed today there was no alternative
when Mr.. Cummins asked that the
resolution go over under the senate
rule.
In the contest tomorrow it is ex-
pected the Democrat senator's will
support the right of the majority of
the Republicans to name their COM
mittees. There was only one jar in
the Democratic caucus today. Sena-
tor NewlandS complained of the fail
ure of the steering committee to recog-
nize his claims to a place on the fin
ance committee.
