WASHINGTON. May 8.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary in
functions Of secrecy imposed upon the
proceedings Of the House Democratic
caucns, to-day, it can be stated as q fact
that the report presented by the joint COM
mittee, concerning the Army Appropria-
ton bill, not only failed to obtain adoption
but was recommitted. -Four different
views were advocated by various speeches
in the CAUCUS to-day, each having sup
porters but none Q majority. These were:
First-To do nothing further in regard to
army appropriations this session, or else
to pass the bill again without any altera-
ton whatever, but accompanied with a
declaration that il the President again re-
fused to sign he mnst take the response
bility OF leaving the army without supplies.
Second-To pass the sixth section as q sep
arate measure without any change in its
provisions, and send the rest Of the bill to
the President without any other altera-
tions. Third--To modify the sixth section
in accordance with the recommendation of
the joint caucus committee, and sent it to
the President as an independent measure.
Fourth-To pass the Army Appropriation
with the modified sixth section as a part Of
it, and thus, in the event of his expected
approval, close up this entire branch OF
the controversy, both as regards politics
and supplies. 1t is understood that
the report was recommitted by twelve
majority, and that this action was
based mainly upon the argument
that the section, as amended by the
joint committee, was not sufficiently
explicit to present with desired clearness
the issue with which the President should
be confronted. naL,ely, whether or not
troops should be used In any case to pre-
serve peace at the polls. 1t is believed
that the Seuate caucus, If abruptly termin-
ated by the news of the action at the other
end of the Capitol, would have adopted the
report of the joint committee with practi-
cal unanimity. Caucuses of the Demo-
Gratis in both branches Of Congress have
been called for tomorrow, when, in all
probability, the line of policy in regard
to the bill will be definitely and finally
agreed upon. The Democratic Senators
at 8 o'clock this afternoon also went into
caucus, for the purpose Of receiving and
acting upon the report Of the joint COM
mittee concerning the Army bill, but
it is understood the session was prema-
turely terminated upon the receipt of infor-
that the House caucus had failed to
accept the report. The debate had not
proceeded sufficiently to indicate what de-
gree Of favor the report would have met
with had it been brought to a vote. The
caucus adjourned shortly after 4 o'clock.
The House Committee on Mines and
Mining met to-day, and after considering
the subject OF mines and mining generally,
determined 1t should be thoroughly looked
into, with a view OF preparing maps and
statistics, showing its vast Importance.
The Committee will ask permission to emu
pioy q special clerk.
