MILITARY MAYS LACKING. Dispatch From Sofia Says Bulgaria Is Waiting for Servia's Heply to the Powers. London, March li.?Diplomacy with reference to the Halkan situa? tion again is at a standstill, and there is an almost complete absence of mili? tary news. According to a Sofia dispatch, Bul? garia is waiting for Servia's reply, and the aiins reply to the powers respect? ing mediation will not he delivered until Wednesday. The belief is current in European capitals that the allies are purpose? ly delaying matters in expectation of the speedy fal' of Adrianople and Scutari, which would place them in a more favorable position for tho pro? posed negotiations. A strong military censorship again has been placed on Constantinople newspapers which tire forbidden to publish changes in the army or any rumors concerning the position of the ministry. An Athens dispatch to The Daily Telegraph expresses the belief that the fall of Scutari is imminent and that the allies will avoid peace nego? tiations until that time. A special dispatch from (Vttenje reports another unsuccessful sortie by the Turks in an effort to raise the sa ge of Scutari. FEAR MASSACRE AT SCUTARI.

The writer says that Servian OfR cers at the port of Durasso boasted of the extermination of the Moslem Al? banian tribe of Lyuama.

When we had overpowered them WC made them all pass under the sword. I assure you itiat not one of the tribe ?amain*. The Monte? negrin i reasoni was: that the tribes? men wer. animals?savage h? asts." The hading B ilgrade newspaper is quoted by tiie waiter as recommend? ing that no quarter be given to the civilian Inhabitants ol Scutari ami that the town be leveled to the ground.

March 10.?-Organiza? tion work In the senate today held the attention of Democrats and Republi? cans. A Republican caucus had been called to name candidates to receive the complimentary vote of the Re? publican senators for elective posi? tions. The Democratic steering com? mittee, of which Senator Kern is chairman, began work early upon the arrangement of the Democratic mem? bership on the large committees. The Democratic committee assignments were not completed today. The Re? publican membership of the commit? tee has already been arranged by the Republican steering committee and is ready for submission of the Demo i rata The Democratic steering committee today granted the request of the Re? publican caucus for BUCh an increase of membership o* ?he Important com? mittees as will a\ ?:d th necessity of r imoving any of the Republicans. Finance, foreign relations and ju? diciary were enlarged from 16 to 17 members and the committee on rules from eight to ten members. These (hange? will als?) give the Democrats Increased re present at ion. The Democratic steering committee also decided to create a new commit? tee on banking and currency, of 12 members to take over part of the work of the finance committee. The general understanding Is that Senator Stone of Missouri will be chairman. Republican senators in caucus to? day decided to cast their complimen? tary vote for officers who have con? ducted senate affairs under Republi? can control, They will support Sena? tor Gallinger for president pro tern. The only elective office which will be given to the Republicans probably will be the assistant doorkeeper. Carl A. Loeffler wad elected by the caucus for that position, which is in the na? ture of .i confidential clerkship to the minority membership. TOLLMAN HEADS APPROPRIA? TION. Though Senate Assignments are Not Yet Settled, That Seems His Most UUel) Berth. Washington, March 10.?After al? most a week's work on the part of the senate 'steering committee, it is understood that in all probability an? nouncements may be made tomorrow regarding committee asslngmenta No decision has yet been reached as to the placing of Senator Simmons at the head of the committee on finance and this may make it necessary to caucus for a day or two longer. Senator Tlllman will either go to the appropriations or naval affairs, with the prospects at this time favor? ing the former. Senator Martin will take appropriations if Senator Till man goes to naval affairs, if not lie will head commerce. These commit? tees on finance, naval affairs and ap? propriations and commerce have not been easy to dispose of but those in authority believe u<?w that the way is paved for a satisfactory disposition of the matter.
