Dec. 9.-Ths probablll. ties are that this week in the senate will be given up largsiyto caucualng by all parties and that the senate daily sessions will be brief. with little effort at legisla- tion. The introduction of bills will be continued. though no work of consequence can be done until the committoos are illi- ed. There is nothing on the calendar or cspt two speeches. one by Senator Mor- gan. announced for today, on the Bering sea question. and the other by Senator Culicm on his Monroe doctrine resolu- tion. it is un erstood that Senator Mor- gan will pay h s respects to Embassador Pauncefote nnd' rd Salisbury. The Republican caucus otmmlttse of the sonata will hold its first formal most- scnntc, for . question of of the various committees. W lug has been final- ly agreed upon, it looks now as if the chairmanship of the more important com- mittees would be assigned as follows: Agriculture. Proctor; appropriations. Allison; coast defense, Squire: census, Chandler; commerce. Frye; District of Columbia, McMillan; finance. Merrill; fisheries. Perkins; foreign relations. Shore man; immigration, Lodge; Indian affairs, Pottigrew: interstate commerce. Cullcm; judiciary, Hoar: military affairs. ilawioy; naval affairs, Cameron; postoillccs and post roads. Woicott; printing. ilalc: priv- ileges and elections. Mitchell of Oregon; public buildings and grounds. Quay; rov latlous with Canada. Carter; rules, Ald- rich; territories, Davis. Chairmanship fipeculatlon. A majority of those assignments go to the senators whose names are mentioned by virtue of seniority, but there are some exceptions: made necessary by the probac bllity of senior members receiving other assignments. Senator Plait is for instance senior Republican on lndian affairs and revision of the laws. and could have his choice of the chairmanship of these com- mittees but for the probability of his be— . lug given a place on the finance commit- tee, ln which event he worrld surrender his place at the hand of Indian affairs to Senator Pettlgrew and on territories to Senator Davis and probably become chair. man of either patents or revision of the larva. Senator Mitchell will have his choice of the chairmanship of either priv- llegos and elections or postofllces and post roads. but will choose the first and will thus advance \V'olcott to the head of post- ofliccs and post roads. On the other hand, Senator Tollor is at the head of the Republican membership of no committee, and one of the problems with which the caucus committee has to deal is thatof furnishing him with an ac- ceptable committee. Senator Chandler is not a member of the census committee, but as tho exising members of the com‘ mittco' all get other chalrmnnsbips he is enabled to take the place at the bond of this committee. Senator llnio secures printing because the Republican member ship is cptlrcly vacant. Among the important chuirmnnsblps concerning which there is no certainty as yet are those of contingent oxpcnscs, claims. education and labor, enrolled bills, library, Pacific railroads. patents. pon- rslons. railroads and revision of the laws. Senator Mitchell. as chairman of the caucus committee. has been devoting birn‘ slolf to procuring data for the guidance of thocornmfttco's deliberations. He finds that tbcrcuro to standing and H soloct committees. At present tho Democrats control no of the committees. the Repub- lican ‘J and the l‘oprrllsts b. There are 15 new Republican senators who have no committee assignments. . the event oi the Republicans being nllowr-d to organize they will have n chairmanship for‘ each Republican senator, with one to spare even after the limb scillifnl’s shall take their seats. H The House Programme. The house programme this week is s dreary waste. Until the committees are appointed the machinery of the house is blocked, and nothing can be done save by unanimous consent. Any nomination that might be presented—and it is in this form that the sensations that agitate the lower branch of congress are usrmliy sprung— would go down before a single objection. For this reason no attempt will be made to do anything until Speaker Rood an- nounces his corrrmlttocs, which he now ox posts to have ready at the end of the week. There probably will be but three brief ses- sions this week. When the house meetr today, an adjournment will be taken un- til Wednesday orl'l‘hursday. and from that date until Saturday. when the commit tocs will be announced. The indications are that practically nothing can be done in the way of consid- eration of actual legislation until niterthc holidays. HoWover, the congressional hope pera are filling up preparatory to tbt grinding that will follow later. Last weal; several hundred bills were introrirrced, and it is probable that fully as many will be started on their journey to the statute books this week. ‘ As the president is absent on his bunt lug trip there is no probability that tbr reply of Lord Salisbury to Secretary 01- ney's note regarding the Venezuelan boundary dispute. in which congress is so deeply interested, will be sent to the house this week. There may be an at ‘tempt through a resolution to procure from Secretary Olney the letter sent by him to thcyEngllsh premier last July anr’ Lord Sallsbury's reply, but should such can attempt be made it will unquestiona bly provo abortive. The adoption of such a resolution would require unnulmour' consent, and there is no doubt that some friend of the administration will object 9 it as looking in deference to the presl dent in his absence, and the fact that Mr. Cleveland in his message advised congress that he Would send the reply with nape olal message would doubtless be taken or an additional reason why it would not be good taste to make a demand on the exec utlv‘e department of the government un- til it manifested at less .rr dlspmltlomtt send to congress the corrupbndence. Senator Elli-s Gives a‘ Dinner. Senator Elklns gave a dinner last night to a number of members of the Republic an national committee. There also were present other prominent politicians of the party.

Our represartatlve last week called on a s among the gentlemen present there were gentleman of Boston. whose case is of friends of all candidates. During a the I ouaslou of party measures Chairman Cur,- I tsr took occasion to say that he did not think it wise for the Republicans to be too confident. Although it was apparent that victory was in the air, ho said that there were reasons why it was not wall to be optimistic to a degree of carelessness. He thought the grave questions before the court might well cause the Republic- ans to pause and reflect. The president had placed himself squarely in favor of retiring the credit money of the country. It was possible that the financial centers of the country agreed with him. There was no doubt that a course of that kind, if pursued, would make Pcpulistic votes. Mr. Carter called attention to what he styled the remarkable growth of the Pop- ulist vote. He said that it had increased 240 lingual: during the past thrce years. This great gr tb had not been developed in the national future. as there ware less Populists in the house now than in the Fifty-second congress. but the vote in the different elections showed a Populist- lc increase. which it was well for the lie- publicans to take into consideration. Mr. Carter was charged with being a pessimist. and different members of the committee said that with a platform enun- ciatlng straight Republican principles tberocould be no doubt of victory with any of the excellent men who were men- tioned for the nomination to flood the ticket. The Venezuelan Question. Information has been received at the Venezuelan lcgntiorr here of the mutants of the note, which. it is reported. has been received by the German minister at Cara- cas for delivery to President Crospo. in which Great Britain demands 860.000 for the arrest by Vorrczrrelnns of ”English- men in English territory.“ Word comes from Venezuela as to the excitement and patriotic enthusiasm over the boundary controversy with Great llrlt- nin.‘ At Puerto Cabolio a public meeting has been held and subscriptions opened for the purchase of a torpedo boat for the defense of the harbor. At. the city of Bol- ivar another subscription is. being re- ceived by the Central bank. citizens of all parts of the republic agreeing to contrib- rrto a stated sum weekly. At Caracas the capital of Venezuela, nconvcntion is to be hold—probably this month—to consider the question of defense. In the big street parade. which will be a feature of the meeting, each state delegation will carry the coat of arms of the state. and at the head of the parade the coat of arms of Venezuela will be borne. The movement was started by the Con- tral Society For the Propagation of the? Defense of Venezuelan Territory. but has apparently secured official approval. a members of President Crespo's cabinet and tho governors of the several states of Venezuela give it full lndorsomcnt.

The party consisted of seven men and a hey, all mounted and heavily armed. two of them carrying cavalry carbines that fit the identical bullet which brought Morrlli and his daughter to their untlmo ly end. The Indians claim to have been hunting in the mountains, near Fort Thomas. and the 50 miles from these mountains to the Gila Bonita valley in which lilorrill and his daughter were kill:l cd is only a step for these wily Apaches. They are being held under guard at San Carlos for further investigation. but there is very litilo doubt that Colonel Bell h the true nrurdcrors. .
