WASHINGTON , May 3 1 a. m.
The republican senate caucus comml- *
; ee counted their chickens before
they were hatched when they ex
pected to have a report ready to
day. All was settled with the excep
tion of the question as to what nom
inations , if any , should be taken up
n the executive session. It was
ihought that Garfield would nettle
his question and on this thought a
member of the csmmittee incautious-
y stated on Sunday that a ieport
would be made to the caucus to-day.
[ t now appears that to the deadlock
.a the senate has been added a dead
lock in the caucui. The _ decision to
; ake up the "Ohinesj treaties remains
unshaken , but then , if anything ehe
is to follow , what shall it be ?
Conkllng hasbeen consulied and ru
mor says that he is willing to let the
Robertson nomination go over ( ill
winter and proceed with other , nomi
nations , although he is now ready for
all. Garfield wants all of the nomina
tions disposed of , and makes no conces
sions. Here is a hitch between the
administration , and Conkllng'a friends.
The general opinion is that neither
wish to have the issue tried just now
In the senate , and it is thought that
the committee will make no report ,
but let the caucus as a whole find ita
way out. _ _ _

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Considerable interest is felt in arm ?
circles on the subject of the proposed
geographical reorganization of , mil
Itary commands. The pres
ident has had the matter
nnder consideration for some weeks
and has sent for Gen. Sheridan to
hear bis opinion. The plan submit
ted ta the president is understood to
favor two dimensions only , one of the
cast and one of the Paeific , the form
er under General Sheridan , add th'o
latter nnder General Hancock , who
is senior major general , * and
the other major generals to.be .
given departments according "to
their rank , the department in which
Texas , and Mexico will be included )
is considered to be the most import
ant just now , and its importance will
no doubt increase with the progr'et a of
our railroad into Mexico. General
Scbofield would be assigned to this
department. Ganeral McDowell will
probably come to the extreme eas't
command of the department. It is
believed the now organization will be
promulgated during the present week.
THE CARBONATE STATESMAN.
AN ELABORATE OPINION ON THE WIND
WAH.
NEW YORK , May 2. Senator * Hill ,
of Colorado , said at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel yesterday , "I read this moraine
that I had been appointed , aa one .of
the committee of safety , as it has'
been called , to represent the senate.
It is news to me , but as I have not'
seen any of the members of 'the com
mittee I have no objections to apaak
as an individual. Republican senators'
have , as is well known , held all
through the dead Jock that it was
only right that the majority" should
rule ; they hold to this still , Imt the
time has now come whuu public bull-
ness of the country demands that the
republican party Ehpnld do what it can
to dispose of it. There are
several nominations to confirm
co that vacancies can bo filled and
pnbllq business be properly cared for , ,
but the most important matter is. the
Chinese treaty.Vith those facts' be
fore us no doubt , the committee * will
advise going into executive session to
dispose of the moat pressing business
and then returning to the original dtp
mand , namely , reorganization of the
the donate. "
' 'Do yon not think that the senators
are getting weary of the situation and
' ' " ' '
want to'go'home ?
"I do.not believe there is one republican -
lican senator who would declare for
any sort of compromise or who would
not be willing to remain in Washing
ton ail summer Ia order that the
majority should rule , if it were not
tha'.tbe nation's interests will suffer if
part of the business is attended to. "
"If the senate goes feta executive
session , will it he considered practical
abandonment of SenatorMahonel'1
"I do not think so , because Mr.
Vfahone must see that the republican
jarty is desirous of supporting him to
he utmost limit , bosausn ha is the
eader of the liberal movement in the
south , but ho cannot expect the inter
ests of thegovernment to ISB neglect
ed. "
"But if you onca go into executive
session wilt riot the democrats go
lome , thus preventing reorganiza
tion ? "
"That of course is to be feared , but
if it should happen that the'renate is
not organized before December , I do
not think it will materially affect the
success of the Mahone movement in
Virginia. " „ -
Senator Hill said he thought it'waa
probable that the situation would.be
changed in a few dsys and that the
nomination of Stanley Matthews
would be confirmed. Regarding
others he did u-it'cire to express his
opinion.
