WASHINGTON, March 9.-The work of arranging the senate committees, or at least the majority membership, was completed this afternoon by the republican caucus committee. Their report will be made to the caucus at 12:30 p. m. next Monday. It is understood that in filling the vacant chairmanships the precedent has been followed. It is believed Senator Mitchell will be chairman of the committee on railroads. The democrats are said to be satisfied with the arrangement and division of membership, but they evidently find it more difficult to place their men, as they have not yet completed the work. They will not hold their caucus until after the republicans, probably not before Tuesday.
