REBUKE "BROTHER JOSEPH"
Democratic Senators Fail to
Make Him Secretary.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

From The Tribune Bureau.
Washington, March s.-What might be
construed as rebuke to Joseph Wilson,
brother of the President. was admins
tered to-day by the Democratic caucus
of the Senate. which nominated James
". Baker, Of North Carolina, assistant
librarian, to be secretary Of the Senate.
Brother Joseph whose cause was
promoted by Senator Lea, was one or
the earliest contestants to enter the race
for the place but on the first ballot he
received only Of the rs ballots cast. Baker
received %, and ex-senator Obadiah Gard
ner and John W. Keller. of New York
the latter Senator O'Gorman's candidate
two each.
The nine votes cast for Joseph Wilson
were considered an excellent showing
under the circumstances. as the tide
of enthusiasm for the brother OF
the President has never set In strong
Is. When he appeared In the Senate
lobby some time ago Il was obvious that
the Democrats did not like the idea OF
giving the entree to a member OF the
Wilson family.
BY far the greater part OF the task OF
reorganizing the Scnate-the selection OF
standing committeeS-remains untouched.
This will probably not be completed untll
the latter part of next week. IL was saIn
to-day there would be no division OF the
Finance Committee by the creation OF a
committee on banking and currency. IL

much of the revenue to. be lost through
substantial cuts in existing duties
