Washington. March . There will
prolrftbly be few vai-ant seats on the
republican side of the Hiamber at noon
tomormw. .There will be none, If the
admonition of the republican advisory
oommittee Is olmerved. t"T notices
were sent by the committee to
day to all republican senator.
asking them to be In their seat
promptly upon convening tomorrow.
The purpose of the notice can only be
surmised by Its recipients. They con
cluded. hrwevcr, that H w-as connected
In some nay with the organisation of
the senate or with possible effort to
be made to seat those who had been
appointed to the senate to fill vacancies
from Oregon. Kentucky and Florida.
The day was generally crowded by
conferences of the leaders of the va
rious parties and when night arrived
it waa pretty generally understood on
all sides that the contest of organisa
tion which had been threatened for sev
eral days should not take place, and
the situation should be maintained as
at present the republicans ahould con
trol the commltteesi ami the democrats
the general offices. Although formal
agreement to this may be postponed,
for a few days, plans were agreed upon
by the republicans of all parties to
day, and It rooks now as If there would
be no obstacles to the consummation
of the agreement. This agreement Is
to bo binding only during the present
session, and the coming extra sesMon
of congress. It being understood that
hostilities will break out again next
December when congress convenes In
regular session.
Senator Davis has already been
placed at the head of thf foreign re
lations committee. It Is understood
Shoup win suoceed Davis as chairman
of the territories, and Hansbrough will
go to the public lands, and it is proba
ble that Hale will take the naval af
fairs and Chandler privileges and elec
tions. Two vacancies on the finance
committee, occasioned by the retire
ment of Sherman and Voorhees, will be
filled by appointment of a gold repub
can to succeed Sherman and a silver
democrat to take Voorhees' place. The
agreement also provides for a reference
of each of the senatorial appointees to
the committee of privileges and elec
tion, where It is understood they will
not be disturbed until the regular ses
sion in Ueeember. There are senne
members of all the factions who oppose
this program, but the conservatives
generally appear to favor it.
NOMINATIONS.
Washington. Marrh .9 All the officers
or me new cabinet have Indicated a
purMse to go very slowly In changes
In the personel cf their departments.
This is not very cheerful news to office-
seekers, and to add to their discom
fort It Is Intimated in some quarters
that there are to be very few changes,
save where an incumbent Insists upon
immediate relief, for some time to
come. The statement is made today
that a prominent assistant secretary of
one of the executive departments had
been asked to remain In his place for
five months.
It is expected that tomorrow John
Hay will be nominated ambassador to
Paris, and there may be a few other
nominations. Including General Powell
Clayton, of Arkansas, as minister to
Mexico. One of the most prominent
missions the president will nave to fill
will be that of minister to Sialn. In
view of the Cuban Insurrection this
post demands great exercise of tact
and skill, and the indications are that
McKlnley will go alow In changing our
minister there. The post seems not
to" be In great demand, and tt Is certain
that up to Sunday McKlnlehad no
one In mind for It. MoKlnley settled
on J. H. Brlgham, of Ohio, for assist
ant secretary of agriculture, and the
nomination doubtless will be sent to
the senate within a few days. Brlg
ham Is master of the National Orange,
and Is an old friend of the president.
STEERING COMMITTEES.
Washington, March t. Senator Alli
son, chairman of the republican caucus,
narneil the remaining member of th"
republican steering committee today
They are as follows: Allison. Cullom
Ijavla, Kewall and Carter.
The democratic senators were In cau
cim today considering the advisability
of forming a coalition with the silver
republican and populist for control of
the senate. The following steering com
m!ttee wias appointed: Oorman, Cock
re, Harris, WalthaJI, Jon of Arkan
a. Whlt, Murphy. Faulkner. Smith.
Faulkner and Smith take the places
vacated by Hla:kburn and Prtee. The
others are re-inol rrt ed.
There waa some discussion In the cau
cus on the question of eligibility of
the gentlemen appointed to seats In
the senate by governors of Oregon
Kentucky and Florida. The opinion
was generally expressed that the Flor
ida appointee was the only one of the
three who. In the light of precedents,
was entitled to recognttton. Kyle Ium
so far failed to Join the populists In
the conferences. If he continue to re
main away his course will probably
have an Influence against the coal I
Hon of populists, silver republicans and
democrats which has been under con
sideratlon.
MITCHELL FOR JUDGE.
Washington. March . The published
account that ex-Senator Mitchell of Or
egon would be a candidate for circuit
Judge of the ninth circuit, to succeed
Judge McKenna. baa brought out other
name. Every state In the circuit has
candidates. Among those .whose claims
are being pushed are Judge Hanford.
B. 8. Grosscup and Justice Moore.
Washington; Judges Hunt and Sanders,
Montana: William B. Heyburn, Idaho.
It Is Intimated that Judge Morrow, of
California, and ex-Senator Allen of
Washington, also will be pressed. The
best Information obtainable is that
soxne man from San Francisco is to be
named.
SCOVILLE TO BE RELEASED.
Washnlgton, March . Conaul Gene
ral Lee today cabled the state depart
ment that Sylvester Scovllle will be
released. This action is the result of
the strong" representations thla govern
ment made in his behalf, on the ground
that he waa in Cuba solely by news
paper capacity and in no sense a com
batant or abettor of the' Insurrection.
SENSATIONAL JOURNALISM. -
Will
Not Be Endured y California's
Senate Editor Arrested.
Sacramento, Cal., March 9. The sen
ate today ordered that A. M. Law
rence, managing editor of the San
Francisco Examiner, be imprisoned un
til he answers certain questions put
to him by the senate committee.
The Examiner recently published a
sensational story to the effect that the
members of the legislature had been
bribed to vote for a bill making pos
sible the transfer of civil suits from
one court to another when affidavit
Is made that the JuJe who Is to hear
the case is prejudiced. Both the senate
and house appointed committees to In
vestigate the charges. Lawrence and
two of the Examiner's reporters re
fused to divulge their source of Infor
mation, that members of the legisla
ture had been bribed, claiming that tne
Information had been given under a
pledge of secrecy. Today Managing
Editor Lawrence was ordered Impris
oned. The charge of contempt against Al.
Murphy, one of the reporters, wtbs with
drawn today. The case of L. Levlngs,
another reporter, is still to be decided.
The L Levlngs referred to In the
above dispatch formerly resided In this
city; In fact, he might be called an
Astorian. When here he lived with
his parents at the corner of Fifteenth
and Exchange streets. His parents
have since removed to California. His
brother. Will, Is working on the San

Union Pacific Officials Say That the
Announcement la Premature That
Road Controls Short Line.
Omaha. March . Consternation was
caused this morning by the receipt of
a rumor from Rait Lake City to tha
effect that It was definitely known that
the Ogden gateway to Utah, Idaho,
Montana and Oregon territory, nam
controlled by the Union Pacific, would
be opened to other railroads soon after
the Short Line commenced to traaaawft
business on Its own account The newt
wa most Joyfully received by the Bnr-
llngton, Rock Island and Missouri Pa
cific roads.
General Manager Dickinson, of the
Union Pacific, gaid: "I have no other
information on the matter. Even should
the action be taken later, the aanouncav
ment at at this time, while the Oregon
Short Line is a part of the Union Pa
cific system. Is premature, to say tfe
least."
General Passenger Agent Lomax. of
the Union Pacific, said:
'I doubt if the policy of the road
on that point has yet been considered.'
(The Short Line passes into Inde
pendent operation on the 15th of March.

democratic mayoralty nomination. The
announcement was made at a formal
meeting of democratic leaders. He bit
