WASHINGTON, Jan. o. 1878.
THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS FAILURE-THE
PROBABILITIES REGARDING THE PROPOSED
LOUISIANA COMPROMISE
There was to have been q republican caucus to.
night, and there was, IN fact, small assemblage
at the Capitol; but the most influential and i'm
portant members OF the party preferred Mrs. At
torney General williams evening reception,
toward which pretty much all the carriages In
town began 10 roll at about nine O'Clock. IL was
q very brilliant affair, and offered reasonable
excuse to Congressman who did not care 10 ride
up to the Capitol to bind themselves to agree TO
southern policy dictated by Southern carpet.
ba0gers with the sole purpose OF keeping the
carpet-baggers in their places. The caucus was
therefore Q failure. There was some lively
discussion. for even those who assembled were
not agreed, and 1t Is fair to conclude that the
absentees are not jealous friends OF q vigorous
policy" II only there could be. in any Southern
State, half dozen murders, IL would help the
''policy" amazingly.
Senator Morton had in his possession to-day, for
consideration, the plan OF settlement forwarded
from Louisiana 1t meets with the approval OF
the best men here, and Will probably be brou ght

Committee on Elections, and he will not get into

SENATOR sHEEMAN's DENUNc1ATIoN OF THE
SOUTH.
The day has been very dull. In the House IT was
"private bill day." In the Senate Mr.. Sherman
occupied large part OF the session with speech
on Louisiana arars in which he made a weak but
violent argument in favor OF the dispersion Of the
Legislature. He hesitated about approving Sheri.
dams despatch. but IN furious burst, in which he
called the White Leaguers "scoundres," he
finally declared that 1t was good enough for them.
The administration Senators are all bloody-minded
and full OF fury. They have not yet discovered
that the war is over, and some OF them are very
ready to begin 1t all over again.

MORNING DRESSES

Pale blue and rose cashmeres are made
into elaborate princesse dresses for bouse
and morning wear. In some models the
front is of pale blue silk, with a iabot its
entire length made of white thread lace
The back of the dress is of cashmere made
in Gabrielle fashion, with the upper part
of the skirt in panier puffs, while the low
er part has knife pleatings of silk in which
white lace is laid. A second, of pale blue.
has pyramids of knife pleating made of
blue and white striped silk, laid in pleats
that shoN the blue on top with white be-
meath as sort of facing.
FRENCH CAatBRIC COSTUMES.
The prettiest imported dresses of wash
ing goods are made of fine French cam
brlcs that represent the checks and plaids
OF Scotch ginghams. Sometimes two
colors are used in these. Thus dress Of
blue and white cambria ofsmall, irregular
checks has vest, sleeves, and inside
rutfies of pink-checked cambria There
are first scalloped blue ruffies needle
worked on each edge, and just beneath
these, as if lining them, are the pink
ruffies. This makes pretty dress for
country use. Blue and brown are put to-
gether in the same way, also blue and
buff, or buff with brown For brunettes
are checked cambrics combining rose,
black and white
PRINCES AND MARABoUT TRIMMING
The fringes so fashionably used for
trimming silk sacques, and costumes are
made of silk braid or tape, crimped, or
else merely tied in loops, from which de-
pend balls or tassels of sewing silk.
Elaborate fringes, made of clusters of the
crimp braid resting on thick silk fringe,
cost as high as 1926 yard. The newest
design has loops of halfinch braid not
crimped, but holding tassels. This costs
1918. The price of plain tape fringe of
ordinary width is S1-25; light fringes for
grenadine are made of very narrow tape
well crimped, and cost only 80 cents a
yard.
The novelty Of the season for trimming
silks is called the marabout ruche This
is thick band of crimped tape-ends, re-
sembling feathers in effect 1t costs from
S1.75 to 3.25, according to width. 1t is
most stylish when made entirely of the
braid, but there are some very pretty
ruches made partly of the braid and partly
of sewing silk; these resemble old-fash-
