It might be thought that this nnuouuco-

WASHINGTON D C , March 11 The com
mittee of the democratic caucus , which has
for the past week been dealing with the
problem of levising the committees of the
senate and assigning chalrmanbhips to the
proper members , has practically finished its
woik Mr Gorman thinks that the party
caucus cannot tic held earliei than Tuesdaj ,
and it is not improbable that on that morn
ing the committee w ill make its final report
The committee declines to give out im\ in
formation relative to the results of its numer
ous conferences , but it is known that there
lias bacn uo violent fractures of the tra
ditions of the senate hi wnich the lanking
minontj senator becomes chairman Manj
changes have , however , been made ncces-
sarj , as one of the members of the committee
said , b.\ reason of the entrance into the ben-
ate of the new dcmociatic members of the
northwest states A glance at the commit
tee list of the last senate shows how difficult
it lias been to bring about a result satisfac
tory to all There me forti stand ing com
mittccs of the bonate and out of this number
the ranking democratic senators entitled to
the chairmanship of thirty one of these
committees come from southern state's and
but nine from the north In the select com
mittees the same preponderance from the
south seems to exist , there bum ? eight
flora that section and but one Irom
UK noi th The selection of democratic sen
ators from Wisconsin North Dakota , Wj-
oming ana California lias compelled the
committee to make u shifting of membership
and , lu a number of cases , of chairmanships ,
so as to ghe those men from the north theii
share of tiie good places Of course in this
large list of southern ranking members the
name of the same soiiatur appeals in manj
cases , on various committees , the members

however , it is understood that there has
been verj little variation from the usages of
the senate in making the appointment of
chairman to the imjiortaut committees of
the senate , although the general make-up of
the committee appears to ha\e xerj ma

The committee will hold another meeting
