SECOND DEATH
 TIES THE HOUSE
Republicans and Democrats Each Have 214 Members.
5 INDEPENDENTS DOUBTFUL

Senate to Adjourn Wednesday Until
 Extraordinary Session and Will De-
 vote Time Until Then to Considering
 Nominations by President - Bryan's
 $15,ooo,ooo Treaty With Colombia Not
 Likely to Be Ratified.
 The special session of the senate will adjourn not later than Wednesday. It has accomplished the principal object for which it was called-namely, the revision of its rules, so that hereafter no such exhibition of dilatory tactics and interference with the wishes of the V. ptly dominant majority of the upper house may be re-enacted.
 The other object of it's assembling the ratification of the Bryan treaty with the republic of Colombia, where by the United States engages to pay $15,O00,OO0 to that nation, will not be gained. The senate has a majority fa- vorable to the ratification of the treaty. but the two-thirds majority necessary to the complete acceptance of the pact into the organic law of the United SCaCeS IS lacKlng.
 Death Brings Equality.
 The senate has fewer nominations to consider than is usual following on the induction of new administration. The 2,0O0 and more of nominations which failed of action in the closing hours of the Sixty-fourth congress were not re- newed for the exception of very few, h. Io.. tion of Dr. Cary T. Grayson, U. S. N, the presidents aid and family physi- clan, from the rank of lieutenant com- mander to that of rear admiral in the medic ll corps of the navy.
 With the reassembling of congress in extraordinary session only five weeks distant the greatest interest is develop ing in the probable complexion and control of the next house.
 The announcement of the sudden death of Representative Cyrus Sullo- way of New Hampshire, Republican, again ties the big parties in the house.
 Each has PA certain adherents. The independent group remains the same, five doubtful quantities, with chances favoring the lineup of three of the so called independents with the Republic ans on questions of organization and the positive certainty of the alliance of the remaining two with the Democrats
 Independents Aligning Themselves.
 Representative Schal1, the Minnesota, Progressive, cleared the situation some what by announcing tht he would not hold out as an independent or go into any little group of willful men" will ing to halt the organization of the house until they can win for them selves extraordinary consideration in the way of committee places and pat ronage.
 This is accepted at once to mean that Schan will affiliate with the Republic ans. Representative Fuller of Massa- chusetts will without doubt vote with the Republicans on organization, 1t Is asser-ed by raen who know him. Rep resentative Martin, the Louisiana Pro gressi Ie, is still reckoned in the doubt full column.
 Governor Whitman's announced in tention to call a special election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Representative Conry, Democrat, of New York city, it is expected, will re- suit in a similar action by the governor of New Hampshire to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Representative Sulloway.
