Ileorcmtiliation of Committees Con Iderel hjr All the Parties. WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. Three caucusc3 were held in the Senate end of the Capitol to-day. They were under the auspices, respectively, of the Republican, the Democratic and the Independent senators, the last-naned including the Silver Republicans and tho Populists, and each considered the reorganization of the Senate committees. In each Instance the detail work was referretl to special committee. Senator Allison was empowered by the Republican caucus to select a committee of nine to confer with the opposition and make the apportionment of members. There was a suggestion that the Republican representation on committees should be in proportion to the Republican membership of the Senate, and In reply to a Question Senator Allison said the Republicans numbered about five-eighths of tho entire Senate. After some discussion the suggestion was abandoned because of the entct mat suca a demand In the Senate would have upon the House, where the Republicans hive proportionately a much fmaller majority. There v.as, however, a general understanding that the Republicans should have a clear majority on all committees. Senator Iale moved a committee on lncular possessions of the United States and on the suggestion of Senator Lodge agreed to amend his' motion so as to provide for two new committees, one to cover Cuba and the clher to include affairs of Porto Rico and the Philippines. The motion was referred to the proposed committee on committees, but no disposition was made of a suggestion, made sotto voce, by Senator Mason, that he. Senator Hoar and Senator Hale should be given places on the proposed Philippines committee. The conference really delegated the whole subject to the committee on committees, which Senator Allison promised to appoint promptly. The Democrats transacted no business beyond the selection of Senator Jones, of Arkansas as chairman of the caucus, to succeed Senator Turpie, and the authorization of the chairman to appoint a committee to confer with the Republican committee on the reorganization of the standing committees. The Independents agreed to act with the Democrats In the organization of the Senate and Senator Pettlgrew was appointed to act as a member of the minority committee on committees. This conference was attended by all the Silver Republican and Fopulist senators, of whom there are eight. WITHDRAWAL OF TllOOrS. Redaction of Slllltary Force In Cnba Ordered by Mr. Root.

Financial Condition! In Porto Rico OliCBed. WASHINGTON. Dec 5.-The Cabinet meeting to-day was largely devoted to a discussion of the financial conditions in Porto Rico. A letter was recently received ty Secretary Gage from prominent business men in the island calling attention to the great fluctuations in the price of .the Spanish peso, which is yet the money of the Island. At times when the Island is shipping its products, which principally como to the United States, American money Is quite plentiful and the exchange value of the peso la correspondingly high. At such times the peso is worth 62 cents, or even more in American money. It frequently happens, however, that the exchange value drops to M cents and even lower. The petitioners ask this government to take such measures as will establish a more uniform value for the peso and thus protect the best interests of all concein-d. it is said that there are only about 5..V1J.500 of these pesos in existence on the Island. Although this amount is small, it is utflcient to disturb the financial situation cf the island and yet it Is not In the power of the executive department of the government to afford any relief. It is said no remedy can be applied except through Congress. The attention of Congress wl'l likely be called to this matter when Ihe subject of a future government for Porto Itlco is under discussion. Patents Awarded Indlanlnns. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.

Harrison, the son of ex-President Harrison, was appointed a major In the inspector general's department at the outbreak of our war with Spain the carpers In newspaper circles greeted the appointment with the usual sneer about the p eferment being based on favoritism and other unworthy motives, but events have more than Justllled the appointment. From the beginning of his service Major Harrison has been one of the most useful and valued olllcers in the army. He was first assigned to duty as provost marshal on the staff of General Lee at Jacksonville, Fla. Here his energy and ability and his stiict enforcement of army rules and regulations gave Jacksonville the enviable record of being the best conducted camp in the South during the war. At the close of his service at this point the newspapers of Jacksonville spoke in the highest terms of Major Harrison's work In preseving law and order in the camp and his marked ability as an executive officer. The Common Council of the city also passed resolutions expressive of the public appreciation of Major Harrison's excellent administration and petitioned the President to appoint him a lieutenant colonel. "He has exhibited." they said, "the qualities of a true soldier and an able commander." He was also stationed at Savannah, Ga., and received a similar high compliment from the Common Council of that city, which was all the more noticeable because Major Harrison comes from Republican stock. At the close of the war Major Harrison was sent to Havana, and rendered distinguished service In establishing the new and better order of things in that city. Later he was assigned to duty as chief of the military police in the province of Santiago, where ie performed valuable service in the capture of brigands who Infested that region. The mayor and Town Council of Marianao were so impressed with the high character Vila rn.rr Itiot th.v rt n f"rl 11 1 i w 4 n Ilia 4 i J A?tv. . v.. expressive of their esteem and gratitude.

In August of the present year Major Harrison was stricken with yellow fever at Santiago, and fo- a time his life was despalied of. Happily, he recovered from the attack and is now In this country on a well-deserved furlough.

Eaton, amid the great excitement, tried to remount but found that his tiro was riat, and before he got another wheel he was four laps in tho rear. The matter was taken to the referee by Eaton, who, after several hours' consideration, ruled that the Eaton-Waithour team should take its place with the leaders. This put the team back only one lap, the one by which it was leading at the time the spill occurred, and the decision was received with general protest on the part of all the riders. At midnight the leaders were eishty-three miles ahead of the record. Tho hiKhest inI dividual score at midnight was held by Turville w-as second, with WJ miles 6 laps.

DEATH OF M. L. HAYWARD

NEBRASKA'S IlECEXTLY ELECTED SENATOR DIES OF PARALYSIS. Vacancy Created for Bryan or Some Other Popoerat Oldest Iledemptorlnt Father Dead NEBRASKA, CITY, Neb., Dec. S.-United States Senator Hayward died at 6:10 o'clock this morning. Monroe L. Hayward was fifty-nine years old and -had lived in Nebraska City for thirty-two years. Although a lawyer by profession, he made his wealth largely through Investments In lands in Nebraska and Kansas. Ills election to the United States Senate was his first appearance in national politics. He was defeated for Governor by Poynter, two years ago, reducing the fusion majority from eighteen thousand to three thousand. When the last Legislature was found to be Republican Mr. Hayward announced his candidacy for the United States Senate, and the fight which followed was one of the bitterest In the history of the State. The long-drawn-out caucus deadlock rinally resulted in his election, but soon afterwards he was stricken with paralysis, while addressing a political meeting. Senator Hayward was a veteran of the civil war, serving in the Twenty-second Regiment of New York Volunteers, and later in the Fifth Cavalry. He mar ried Miss Jennie Pelton, of Putnam county, New York, in 1S70, and his widow and two eons survive him. Governor Poynter will probably appoint a Populist to the vacancy in the Senate. Rev.

The Cost of Ynchta. New York Commercial Advertiser.

T AFFAIRS AT PRETORIA. Conditions Pictured In Letters by Consul and Mrs. Macrnni. EAST LIVERPOOL, O., Dec. 5.-Letters received this week from Chas. E. Macrum, United States consul at Pretoria, who has resigned his position, by his friends In this city, his home, are of interest in view of the recent dispatches from Washington regarding his experience In the ? Transvaal as representative during the ! war. Letters from his wife also give a graphic picture of the condition of affairs in Kruger's capital. Consul Macrum writes: "We are In 'the midst of it. The shooting has commenced. General Cronje has taken the railroad at Mafeklng, blown uj some trains and taken some prisoners, ammunition, etc. The Boers want to make a good fight of it, and will be a mighty hard lot to beat. The British who have not been granted permits to stay here have been ordered out by K Wednesday, and the Lord help those who are not gone at that time. I suppose they will all go on time. The government has provided for their transportation if unable to pay. We will be cared for. so you need not worry. The government is more friendly to me now than before, even since I took over the British interests. Mrs. Macrum say3: "You thought it terrible during the Spanifh-American -war. Well, you know nothing about it. I cannot describe affairs here. Every citizen between the ages of sixteen and sixty has sone to the front, and new there is nothing for these women in the S. A R. to do but to sit and await devel ipments. On the Boer side there will be no backing down. There is a preat deal of distress, especially in Johannesburg. Everybody here would like to be an American citizen. Mr. Gordon says he has been offersd as high as $2,300 for n American transport. Mr. Macrum is working day and night. "Mr. Blake, an American, has been made colonel an- has gone to the front In command of a corps of Irish-Americans. He is bitter against the English. "We ara not at all anxious as to our own safety, although we may have great hardships, none can tell how great.. Yet we intend to stay right here and see it all, unless ordered out, which Is not at all probable. "The Americans are getting fair treatment as far t we can learn. Mr. Macrum has been given charge of the British Interests, but, as they have almost all gone, I hope it will not add much to his work, as he has not ; minute to himself now. "I can tul you there are a lot of sad homes In the Transvaal at present. It makes one turn faint to think of the future and what It may have In store for them. Just now it seems as though both sides mean to fight to the bitter end." RAILWAY RATE WAR. New England Tariff Sheet Has Precipitated Trouble. CHICAGO. Dec. 5. The Tribune to-morrow will say: "The publication of the New England rate sheet, which eliminates rates to the Pacific coast via the Northwestern, Hock Island and Milwaukee & St. Paul roads, has started the expected differential rate war. The rates quoted by the Boston & Maine and the Fltchburg roads have been forced down to a figure which is now less than the through rate from Chicago to the coast. All the second-class business ticketed from New England by the above line Is routed via the Santa Fe and via the Chicago & Alton and the Missouri Pacific roads. The Northwestern, Burlington, Rock Island and Milwaukee & St. Paul roads are receiving their support from the Boston & Albany, and while the Boston & Albany is not permitted to be a party to the publication of the cut rates which are now In effect from New England, they are meeting the competition of the Hoosac Tunnel and the Boston & Maine roads, and sending their business over these lines. "A number of railroad officials say the Vanderbllt lines, as well as the Pennsylvania, will take a hand in this fight willingly and torever dispose of the dirterentlal question. It is admitted by all the California lines west of Chicago that serious reductions in rates are being made and each line Is trying to protect itself against the other by offering free tourist accommodations and as high as $15 cut In the rates. The Illinois Central, it Is understood, has entered the field for active competition and is receiving the support of the Southern Pacific Company, and can be counted upon as being in the future an important factor In transcontinental trafne. inasmuch as It can give the Southern Paclflc Its long haul on business delivered by New Orleans, and in consideration for this will get the support of the Southern Paclflc In return business through Canada to Omaha, to which point it has recently been completed. In fact. It Is stated the Illinois Central Is already ticketing return business which goes to Southern California and which will return in the spring through San Francisco and Omaha."
