HARR1sBURa.. April 8.-The Democra-
tic members Of the Senafesand House
held o caucus, this morning, at which
important action was taken. It was
agreed that the Democrats of both

appropriation bill, and the bill for the
increase OF the debt Of Philadelphia,
until the Republican majority in the
House agreed to pass y fur apportion-
ment bill for'the city. This action may
endanger the centenn nial bill, which
needs only to pass the House, having
gone through sll other preliminary
stages in both houses, but partisan
action OF Democrats may possibly have
the effect of centennial party measures,
in which case there weuld be enough
Republican votes in the House to pass it
without the aid of the Democrats.
