The Republican Caucus-The Potter RcsO-
lutiOns to be Resisted to the Bitter

WASHINGTON, May 15.-To-day's caucus
was the first held by the Republicans touch
ing the pending business before the House
The action taken by Mr. Hale, in offering his
although had after consultation with few
leading Republican Representatives. did not
commit anybody.
The situation was considered grave enough
to require caucus deliberation. Nearly one
hundred members were present, and the pres
ence OF Gen. Butler, who had voted with the
Democrats, was particularly noted.
The caucus was called to order by Mr. Hale,
and, on motion Of Mr.. Brown, of Iowa, a com
mittee on resolutions, consisting of nine
members, was ordered, Mr.. Hale appointed
the following: Brown OF Iowa, chairman
Reed of Maine, Claiin of Massachusetts,
Garfield of Ohio, Phillips of Kansas, Cannon
Iowa, and Mitchell Of Pennsylvania. y
After the committee had retired a discus
sion sprang up In the caucus on the propriety
OF inviting the Democrats to permit amend
ments and debate the question. The amend
ment OF Mr.. Hale was also discussed, to-
gether with the amount of responsibility as
sumed in hindering the business of legisla-
tion before Congress.
The committee on resolutions, after nearly
an hours absence, submitted the following:
ReSOtped, That the resolution now pending
IN the House Is an attempt, in form uniusti-
fable and illegal, to reopen the question of
the presidential title-a question solemnly
settled by the Forty~fourth Congress, which
iutionary and destructiVe to Of f. the good order
business, prosperity and peace of the country.
Resolred, That the effort of the Democratic
majority to force upon the House, without
opportunity for amendment or debate, a
measure OF such revolutionary character,
which has not been recommended or con
sidered by any of its committees but has
been devised by individuals for private party
ends, should be resisted by ali the means
which are authorized by the rules of the
House.
The resolutions were received very enthu-
Ssiastically and with prolonged applause.
