WASHINGTON. April /.
The caucus of Republican Senators
| Saturday resulted in no formal action.
| 1t appears from views expressed by
| Senators that while they concede that
the speech of Senator Howe, delivered
a week ago, is mainly just in its STRIFE
lures on the course of the administra-
ton, they can see 30 propriety in re-
calling past events in Louisiana and
elsewhere, and making a direct issue
with the President, and they are also
agreed that the so called civil service
| reform is a deception and a failure.
They therefore think that Republicans
should strive to strengthen The party
irrespective of what tbs President may
say or do, and they point to the late
| election in New Hampshire to show
that it resulted in favor of the Repub.
leans part from any consideration
connected with the administration.
| They are OF the opinion that it would
be better t approve of such measures
as they can in the future than to OPP
pose the past in his Southern concilia-
| ton policy, and other measures which
do not meet with Republican approx.
al; besides, to make an open
| issue with the President,
would benefit the Democratic party to
the injury of the Republican party.
They say they can do nothing, no mat
ter what, independent of the course the
President may think proper to pursue.
AT the same time they do not impule
dishonesty Of purpose TO the President.
and see some things in his admini>tra
ton to approve, but they doubt the
wisdom of much of his SO called policy.
| AS a committee of Senator's, appointed
| by a caucus heretofore, called on the
President with regard to appointments.
and failed to come to an understand
ing. 1T is considered useless again to
approach him in a similar way. as the
President acts Independently of Sena
tOrial dvice or conference. 1t Is known
that the President. on that occasion,
regarded the call as a mere personal
matter, and of no public interest, and
therefore he was not disturbed. Under
all the circumstances, b Republican
| Senators do not think IL wise to take AN
active part against the President, but
to do the most they can for the inter-
ests of their party, remembering that
the President has three more years to
serve. Jones, of Nevada, and Mitch
ell were not present at the caucus.
Conkling, Howe, Patterson and Con-
over were also absent.
The House Banking and Currency
Committee requested Secretary Sher
man to appear before them on the re-
sumption question at Q special meet
ing to he held to-day. The purpose is
to examine him very closely rs to his
alleged ability to esume specie pay
ments on the first OF January next.
The anti resumption members of the
Committee confidently assert they can
break down his testimony given be-.
| fore the Senate Finance Committee,
and make him show ny his own state
ments and admissions that resumption
is for the present hopeless. Other
Committee members are equally con-
fident that the Secretary will prove
more than a match for his i%nterroRa-
tories. A number of New York bank
| ers will also be heard during this week
on the same subject.
| Sherman saws he has made all ar.
rangements necessary for a full sup
