/ WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Repub-
/ lican Senators in caucus, this morning,
with two exceptions, pledged themselves to
/ vote for taking up the FTelinghuysen resO-
| luton, and to remain in Washington and
| vote for its adoption, when modified so as
! to simply declare the Senste's approval of
| the Presidents action in protecting the ex-
| isting government Of Louisiana from do
nestle violence. The two Senators who
did not pledge themselves to adopt the
programme were Messrs. Chistiancy and
Robertson.
The Republican Senators agreed to re-
frain from discus sing the caucus Louisiana
resolution in the Senate, and have also de-
termlned 10 vote against any recess or ad-
jOurnment, except over Sunday, until the
final vote shall be taken. This course will
in all probability insure the termination
Of the session within the next five or six
days, and many persons think it will close
by Wednesday.
What the Democratic Senators VIII
DO About the Louisiana Resolution.
The Democratic Senators were in caucus
this morning, and in anticipation of the
action Of the Republican majority, de-
temined on the method of their OppOsi-
ton. 1t was decided to raise the point of
order on the resolution, and if Overruled.
to interpose sundry djlatory motions, and
thereafter to debate it to the fullest extent,
should remain. Estimates Of the extent to
which the session will be thus prolonged,
vary from one to three weeks.
The i, thai .,,,,-,- o,,,.-,1sz
ton this evening unanimously determined
not to make any agreement to accede to
any proposition fixing a definite time for
taking the vote on the Louisiana question.
They also decided not to make any merely |
factious opposition, but to insist upon their
right to fully debate the pending resolution |
in the Senate.
