WASHINGTON. Dec. 9. Ths republican
caucus committee of the senate was In ses
sion for three hours today , but adjourned
until tomorrow without completing It ? assign
ment of co'nmlttee membership. The work
accomplished Is only tentative , but so far as
It has progressed It has corresponded with
the cast of chairmanships sent out by the
Associated press last night. It Is said that
Senator Teller will be chairman of the com
mittee of claims , Senator Hansbrough on li
brary , Senator Galllnger of pensions , and
Senator Shoup of patents. There has been
an exchange of places by which Senator
Cameron takes a membership place on foreign
relations and Senator \Volcott the place on
finance , which was conceded to Mr. Cameron
before he announced bis Intentions not to
stand for re-election to the senate. There Is
a probability that this committee will be In
creased by the addition of only one member.
This Increase la to be made to give the re
publicans an opportunity to put a silver man
and an anti-silver man on the committee.
Senator Jones of Nevada Is to be allowed t&
retain his place , but nr a populist and not as
a republican , as heretofore. This arrange
ment will give the republicans six members ,
the democrats five and the populists one. On
financial questions the committee will stand
7 to G In favor of silver.
It Is about settled that the appropriations
committee also will be Increased from nine
to eleven member ! . This will enable Sen
ator Ilrlce to retain his place on the commit
tee , and will give the republicans two ap
pointments there. Senator I'ettlgrcw will re
ceive one of these and the other will go
either to Senator Quay or to a Pacific coast
man. The populists probably will retain
their present chairmanships so far as they
have them , Stewart remaining at the head of
mines and mining , Allen of forest reserva
tions and Peffer of the committee to examine
several branches of the civil service. It Is
possible that Kyle may bo transferred to a
less Important committee than education and
labor. Duller will be given a minor com
mittee. and Senator Jones of Arkansas will
bo restored to his old place at the head of
the committee on contingent expenses.

WASHINGTON , Die. 9. The populist sen
ators have changed their former decision
concerning the organization of the senate ,
and have now agreed among themselves to
Interpose uo objections to the republicans
taking control. They will act together and
will withdraw as a bcdy and allow the re
publicans to elect their candidates for the
senate offices. They may possibly nominate
a candidate for president pro tempore. but
they will not press bis claims nor continue
his candidacy so as to materially delay or
ganization.
The six memb3rs of the democratic sena
torial committee also held a meeting today
for the consideration of the situation , but
decided not to attempt to outline any definite
plan of action until the committee should be
filled.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9. The report of
IMst Assistant Surgeon Stltt , who accompa
nied the Nicaragua ! ) canal expedition In Its
trip of Inspection last summer upon the- cli
matic ! Condition of tlis country through
which the proposed canal would pass , has
Just been published. Generally speaking , thp
surgeon finds that there climatic condltlcns
an much moro favorable than has been sup
posed. For instanc % ha shows that Grey-
town , the eastern terminus , the mean av-
erag edally temperature rarely e.\ceds 80
drgr9es or falls b2low 75 , and yellow fever U
unknown there , although there are n rnlclons
fevers of the hemorrhage type. The abso
lute flatness of the country , with a very nb-
scrbant sandy soil , freely traverssd by winds
from every quarter , prevents any accumu
lation of malarial deposits. On the western
side the malarial affections predominate and
the fever resulting , often mistaken for yel
low fever , has ne high a mortality rate as
yellow fjver , nbout 75 per cnt. Typhoid
la unknown , kidney diseases arc rare and
the climate tends to the cure of catarrh.
Pythlsls , Is quite common , as wall as skin
disease. Snakes are not plentiful. Black
ante are ferocious , mosquitoes art worse than
In the United States only because of their
greater number anil gnats , horseflies and
ticks are plentiful. Not n single day was
lost by any of the' party on account of sick
ness.
While the cuttingof the canal may be a
caurci of dls.'ase for a time , the ultimate
effect of the construction would ba beneficial.

The s'rength which Sounders developed
slnco the caucus two wieks f.so was
almost entirely due to thf vigorous Hqht
that was made In his bhalf by the
franchlsed corporations. Two weeks ugo the

favor of Kennanl. Hut since then the water
works company ! the street railway company
the Dnrber Asphalt company and other loca
corporation Intsroils. Including one or two
of the rallroadi , have exerted every effort
In their power to Insure Saunders' election.
The fight resolved Itself Into n contest be
tween the corporations and their opponents
and , ns has been the case In previous years ,
the corporations won In n walk.
Ths friendship of the corporations for
Sannders Is readily understood by any one-
who has been a close observer of his ooun-
cllmanlc career. As th3 Interests of the
incoming mayor nro very closely Identified
with those of the corporations , it Is admitted
that the selection of Sounders also meets
with Broatch's approval. "With Saunders In
the chair wo will have overytning our way , "
remarked one of the combine In a burst ol
confidence yeiiterilay , and no one has
the temerity to dispute the assertion.

Moses n. Trauernuin , as one of the depou- !
ors In the defunct Nebraska Savings and Ex
change bank , has Hied an application In the
district court for the removal of William K.
hotter as receiver of the bank. It Is alleged
that Potter Is too deeply Interested in the
tank to sufficiently look after the Interests
of the depositors.
Potter was at the time of the failure cashier
'or ' the bank aud was also a dlrsctor and
stockholder. It Is held therefore that he
vould protect the Interests of the stockholders
and directors rather than these of the doposl-
ors. The further point Is made that the en-
