The aenaUe republican caucus com mittee appointed to consider tho ques tion of filling rtw senate committee -aoanciea held its first meaUng today. The committee practically reached the oonuluaon that there should be no Im mediate effort to fill the committees, and that the matter should be post poned until after the paiutage uf tha tariff bill. The reason t r this con clusion nraa found In the fact that many of 'the older republican senators ara of tha opinion thai, an effort to re-arange the (xmmittee at this time wvmld have adlrvct and adverse effect upon th fortunes of the revenue bill. Senator Pettigrew today presented an amendment for the complete sur vey of all lands withdraw & froui the public domain by the executive order of February 22 last, creating forest reserves. The amendment appropriates. JIJO.OOO and pate the work l.i rhe bands of the director of the geological survey. The amendment also gives the pres ident explicit autlitr."ty to revke, mod ify or suspend any and all such exe cutive orders and proctamattons, or parts thereof, from time to time as he shall deem best for the public In terest. The president decided to take na act km in the matter of revoking or modifying the order of Mr. Clevelaid setting aside 21 forestry reserves in the West until he ascertains whether con gress will legislate on the question. It is the general understanding now that the senate will tack an amend ment to line general deflctanry appro priation bill, empowering the president to modify or revoke this order. There Is said to be a legal question as to the president's power under the existing law to make a revocation of the order uf his predeueeaor. M!r. MoKhUey Indicated to repre sentatives Lewis and Jones, of Wash ington, w ho called on him today rela tive to this subject, that he would a'.vak this 'proposed legislation. It Is not his intention to revoke the order, but to modify it by excepting from Its provisions all mdnwal lands entered or subjact to entry and all lands not strictly mineral lands. COLORADO SOLON'S.
