WAsHIYGroN Nov. 29.-The Senators Of both
parties met in caucus this morning, for the purpose
Of making some arrangement, if possible, as TO the
time when the vote should be taken on the admis-
sion Of Mcssrs. Kellogg, Butler and Eustis.
Yesterday the Republicans agreed TO the
plan Of submitting a proposition to the
Democrats that the Senate should vote on
vote on the Kellogg case tomorrow at 2 o'clock on
the Butler case at o'clock and the Eustis case
at o'clock. This proposition was considered
by the Democrats in caucus this morning. Great
diversity OF opinion was Immediately discovered to
exist among the Democratic Senators in regard to its
acceptance. majority Of them were disposed to
agree TO the proposition in good faith, with posi-
Die modification providing that the claimants ad-
mitted should all be sworn in at once Among the
minority who were unwilling TO agree 10 this. were
Senators Hill, Bayard, salisbury, Mcdonald. and
few Others. Some of them seemed to sus
pet that there a trick in the proposition. and
that if they agreed to it the Republicans would gam
some advantage which they do not now have. In
support Of the arrangement, it was urged in the
Democratccaucust hatunless this proposition should
be accepted il might happen that General Buffers
case would not be reached and that lie would not

that Judge Davis may possibly vote against General
Buffers admission, and the support Of the hide

No decision was reached in either Of the caucusses
this morning.
During the session to-day there were indications

the Republican proposition; but when this informa-

It was discovered that Senator Edmunds could no
