THE KELLOGG GOVERNMENT NOT TO BE RE-
COGNIZED.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-The caucus failed
to meet this evening on account Of the pro-
longed session of the Senate.
| The Star says of this mornings caucus:
The discussion developed a lack of harmony
among the Senators as to the course which
should be pursued relative to the present
State Government of Louisiana, and it NAV
now be predicted with tolerable certainty
| that majority will not be obtained in the
Senate to recognize said Government as the
| legal Government of the State"

eight inches dumped into fve-foot gauge
road, involving transhipment within sixty
miles of New Orleans and charged with the
expense OF an unnecessary transit of the
river.

numbered with this and other jobs Senator
West insists upon making it the simplest
highway possible from the Atlantic to the Pa
cihc. The matter comes up again in COM
mittee February 1st.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The House adj
ourned on motion of Mr.. Ward, Republican,

exhausted their tactics for delay. 1t may be
stated there is no intention to pass the bill

terry clause would defeat it in the Senate The
bill is dead for the session.
