"The absence of the silver iiepubli can Senators from the caucus yester day brought their former party col league face to face to a situation which amounts almost to a crisis. It ii within the range of possibility that the Republicans may not be able to pass a tariir law in the next Congress. An appreciation of this fact caused the greatest amount of uneasiness yes terday, and radical means will here sorted to to insure a safe, even though narrow, majority, on the Republican Hide when the next Senate convenes at the extra session. Anxious to conciliate the erring brethren who had gone out of the par ty at St. Louis and willing to forgive them because their votes will be need ed, the Republican managers In the Senate, a stated In The Tost yester day, concluded to let by-gones be by gones, and invited the bolters to com mune once more with their old party associates In caucus.

Unfruitful, therefore, as these States would seem to be, so far as straight Re publican Senators are concerned, the are nevertheless not to be ignored in the almost frantic effort to make the Republican majority in the next Sen ate safe beyond question. Senator l'rocter, who is the personal friend and co-worker of Mark JIanna. and who is recognized as one of McKinley Sena tors upon the floor, was engaged yes terday in making inquiries as to cer tain Republicans in I tab who are friendly to the MeKinley policy and who might be aided to the Senator- ship, among them being the father of Senator Cannon. Similar Inquiries are being made regarding Republicans in oiner oiaies. . MR. HANNA'S NEW JOB. HE NOW UNDERTAKES TO SECURE THE ' NEXT SENATE CONFERS V ITH PARTY LEADERS. ticient to he grasped at as a last chance, that the olive branch would be accepted. Nothing would have been warmer than the welcome which would have been extended to these silver Republicans. The fatted calf would have been figuratively killed for the returning prodigals, and there would have been joy unconflned. The caucus met, but the prodigals returned not. They were in tbe city, but their steps did not trend in the direction of the marble room where the caucus was held. Some of them, like Senators Du bois and Cannon, were within a stone's throw of the meeting place, looking over their mornin mail in their com- 1 tnVttee rooms. They Sad held a con ference on tha night previous, and had decided that tbe Gordon knot, cut after due deliberation last spring, was not to be retied. And the most im portant development is that they are out for good." After discussing the States that elect Senators this year and showing that Kentucky and North Carolina wer9 the two States where "influence" and pressure could be best brought to get a man who would stand by the policies ofllanna, Sherman and Mc Kinley, the article continues as fol lows i 'With Republicans from these two States, and with every Senator voting for the bill which may be framed, tbe administration will be able to get that bill passed with the assistance of the vote of the Vice-President. This mar gin, however, is too narrow for com fort. It is a situation which, as the 1 astute Senator Elkins said yesterday, calls for some energetic action. Not only Senator Elkins, but half a dozen other Republican Senators were busily engaged yesterday in conferring as to the best means of meeting tbe crisis which confronts them. APPEAL TO THB NATIONAL COMMITTEE. In their dilemma these Senators have decided to appeal to tbe national committee. This means, most of all, an appeal to Mark llanna, who is to be made acquainted during his stay here with the true situation. "If there is one man who can help us," said Senator Elkins, "he is the man." The programme, as thua far discuss ed, is to have the national committee take immediate bold of the Senatorial situations in every State where tbere is the least possibility of iniluencing the legislative vote. The national committee will be ex- Sected to exercise its influence in orth Carolina. Col. Boyd, tbe na tional committeeman from that State, is now in Washington, and is busily engaged inlaying wires for Pritch ard's return, while the North Carolina "iDublican Congressmen, apprecia t. . I the critical situation, are sacri ficing their own personal interests in the hope of securing the same end. In South Dakota, which is another State in which the National Committee will be expected to exercise its potent in fluence, Senator Pettigrew, now a recalcitrant, wants to have a voice in the selection of the Senator who will succeed Senator Kyle, whose term is about to expire. The Legislature in that State will be composed of a fusion majority of Democrats, Populists, and free silver Republicans, but the condi tions there are said to be favorable enough to invite close inspection and considerable work on the part of Mark Uanna and his committee. SOMI STATES BEYOND REACH. There are some States beyond reach. Senator Elkins, in discussing the sit uation yesterday, mentioned Utah, Idaho. Colorado, and Nevada as States in which, in addition to Washington and South Dakota, some Republican gains might be made. Inquiry, how ever, shows that these four silver States are barren ground. In the Idaho Legislature there is only one McKinley Republican in the seventy members of the Legislature. If Senator Dubois (a silver Republi can, who will not go into the Republi can caucus) is not returned, which is not yet certain, the next Senator will certainly be a Populist. In Utah not a single regular Republican was elect ed to tne Legislature. A Tbree Hour' Conference at The Capi tol Yesterday The Critical Situation Fully Dlicuiaed Kentucky Begardcd aa Certain to Send a Republican Mr. Mc Kinley Formally Notified That an Kztra Seaalon of Congress Ought to be Held. Washington Post, December 10.J Mark Ifanna has now a new job on his bands. lie has undertaken to furn ish a Senate with a Republican ma jority to act with the next Republi can House in passing the tariff law which is to be the feature of Presi dent McKinley's administration. At present this Republican majority is not secured, although some of the more optimistic Republicans believe it to be in sight. The Post yesterday, in an article which attracted widespread attraction, pointed out the crisis which is con fronting the Republicans in tbe lack of sutlicient numbers to give them a safe control of tbe next Senate. Even in the debate on the Dingley bill in the Senate yesterday this topic was uppermost. Senator Hale, in the course of his remarks, intimated that it would not be wise for tbe Republi cans to attempt to legislate upon the tariff with their present minority in the Senate, but he expected that in the next Senate there would be an ef fective majority. "Where will you get it?" asked Sen ator Allen, amid some laughter. "I said 'expect,'" was the qualified reply of Mr. Hale. "We may be dis appointed, for the margin now looks to be very close, but we expect to have a majority." HANNA CONFERS WITH SENATORS. Immediately following the remark of Senator Hale and emphasizing the critical situation which The Post had fully outlined, Mark Hanna met in conference with the members of the steering committee of the Senate.

Benedict Arnold was one -of these fellows, and N. A. Dunning, former ly editor National Watchman of Washington, D. C, but now of Salis bury, this State, is another.

The man kept a saloon, but was a gocd fel low. He was recommended by half the preachers acd all the good folks of Terre Haute, for he had told them that he would abater nd abolish his saloon should he be given the letter bags. "Just prior to our visit to the White House, a slanderous column appeared in a Cincinnati paper, with a Terra Haute date line, telling of this saloon-keeper's candidacy and Voorhees' support of him. It went on to say that Voorhees and he had been 'pals' in many a roseate affair, and had a room back of the saloon, wherein they gambled, wined and dined, j "I Will pause right here to say thxt every word of this article was false, j "The day we visited Cleveland, after Toorhees had brought up the name of this man, Cleveland turned and looked out at the far Potomac.

" 'Senator,' " he said at last, " 'did you read that article about you and your candidate in a recent Cincin nati paper?' " " 'Yes, sir,' said Voorhees, his face flaming with rage; 'yes, sir. Whyl' " " 'What have you to say about itV continued Cleveland, coldly. " 'Simply that it is false in word and inference," said Voorhees. And then, his wrath fairly in the saddle, he went on: " 'And I want to say further, that any man, whether he or the commonest digger in street, who pretends to repeat that slander or any part of it as true,, is a liar; and I will deal with him cs such.

The New York Jour nal has a sketch of tbe opening day from which the following extracts are taken. When Vice-President Stevenson brought his ivory gavel down today with the slam of a horse auctioneer acd declared the Senate of the Uni ted States open for business negoti ations with the Bouse .and the Pres ident, he faced a full and brilliant audience. Some seventy of our sage Senators were in their sea's, while the galleries were full of "people and Mark Banna. But let us get down to the Senates The desks at least two dozen of them were banked with flowers. They represented, these posies, a sum equal to the hire of a prince. There is something pathetic about this flower giving. They represent the applause, th xespectof nobody. They emanate from appointive effice holder?, clerks of tbe poorer sort, who thus seek to propitiate "their Senators" and perpetnate themselves in place. And they cost poor folks a mint cf money. It illustrates what Col. William Nelson, of the Kansas Star, once said to me on the subject of gift making. "It comes simply to tLis," said the pigrammatic Col juel;"some fel low who can't affoid it rives some other fellow something he dcesn't need." Palmer was the most interesting figure to come into the Sonate. Not because he knows any more than the others, or does any more. But the old gentleman thinks that he has re cently been ranning fr the Presi dency, and this fallacy on his part makes it worth one's curious while to note how he is received by the others, especially by the silver Dem ocrats, who hold Palmer to be a traitor worthy of block and cord. Palmer was one among the first to find his seat. He was filling it full fifteen minutes before Steven son called "time." If the old gen tleman expected an ovation he was prey to a frightful setback." Pal mer's reception was what theatre people call a "frott." Harris, Cock rell, Vest, Gorman even, and all the regular, or silver Democrats either gave him the cut direct or yielded him the chilliest and briefest of nods. Palmer was left severely, al most painfully, alone. Not a man went near him, and his aged face began to redden and glow wllb. the isolation and the insult of it. At last Vilas was struck by Pal mer in his pain and neglect. Vilas is a gold cuckoo. It was such schemers as Vilas, working out the Buzzard's Bay behests of Cleveland, that tickled the aged, childish vanity of Palmer and got him to make his recent foolish rur. Vilas at lea-.t owed Palmer some attention. Vilas evidently thought so, for he journeyed over to Palmer's desk at last, on the rear row, and rather effu sively shook his hand.

It was appropriate that Senator Aldrich should be the presiding genius of the conference. Early in the campaign which has just ended, he had, with his keen foresight, anticipated the very condition which has now arisen. He then suggested to Mr. Hanna that a committee be formed with especial reference to securing a Republican majority in tbe next Senate, just as tbe Congressional Committee assisted in securing a Republican House. Mr. Aldrich's advice was disregarded on the ground that if a Republican Presi dent was elected tbe landslide would carry with it the Legislatures of the doubtful States. Yesterday it was Mr. Aidricn wnose suggestions were received with the greatest weight. The first topic of consideration was the importance of securing this much needed Republican majority. The Legislatures of four States Washing ton, South Dakota, North Carolina, and Kentucky were regarded as of fering available working ground. AN EXTRA SESSION DECIDED UPON. Having outlined the plan by which tbe Legislatures were to be captured, the steering committee took up the question of the Dingley bill. It was the sense of the committee that noth ing could be done with the measure at this session, although it was decided to solidly support all motions to take it up. None of these motions, it may be stated parenthetically, will emanate from, the Republican side. The sense of the steering committee was then formally taken as to the policy for the future, and an ei'ra session was considered wise and nec essary. Mr. Hanna was directed to convey to Mr. McKinley the judgment of the Senate, as represented by its steering committee, that an extra ses sion should be held. SOME HARD SENSE. ernment. He was in Hickory last week and this seemed to be the sole burden of his mind.
