WASHINGTON, April /.
The caucus of Republican Senators Saturday
resulted in no formal action. 1t appears from
views expressed by Senators that while they
concede the speech of Senator Howe, delivered
a week ago, is mainly just in its structures on
the course of the administration, they can see
no propriety in recalling past events in Louisi-
ana and elsewhere. aud making direct issue
With the President, and they are also agreed
that the so called civil service reform is de-
ception and failure. They therefore, think
that Republicans should strive t. strengthen
the party irrespective of what the Pres. dent
m y say or do, and they point 60 the late elec.
ton in New Ham pshire to show that it resulted
in favor of the Rel ublicans apart from any
consideration connected with the ADMINISTERS.

meeting to be held to-day. The purpose is t.
examine him very closely as to his alleged abil

January next. The ant-resumpticn members
OF the Committee confidently assert they car

ate Finance Committee and make him show by

Sherman says he has made all Arrangement
necessary for a full supply of what silver bal
lion he may need in carrying out the provision,
| OF the Silver bill, and that he has also secured
the lowest going rates without being obliged t.
have recourse 70 the Pacific slope. He also say
he takes especial pleasure in having been abb,
to do this, because the owners of silver in Ne

bill, put mp the price of bullion higher thar

ment to Asia, even with freight included from
the full cost.
