DISCUSSING THE VETO.
The Democrats Preparing for An
other Breakdown.
Plans of the President and the Rspubli-
cans.

WASHINGTON, June 23.--A caucus of Demo
cratic Senators was held this afternoon to con-
slider the line of policy concerning the veto of
the judicial expenses bill, and also the queS-
ton of adjournment. Bayard, Thurman, Hill,
Butler and Hampton took the ground that it
would be utterly unjustihable and indefensible
to adjourn without providing for the support
of every branch of the public service. 1t was
unanimously agreed, however, that no money
should be appropriated for the payment of
deputy marShalS of elections. Vest and Wal
lace spoke in favor of adjournment without
further attempt to pass the bill. A resolution
favoring adjournment without passing another
appropriation bill was rejected overwhelming
ly. A resolution was adopted directing
the drafting of a bill to be passed be-
fore adjournment in such terms as will obviate
the objections of the President and secure its
enactment into law. The committee hold
meeting tomorrow to prepare a bill.
The President says if Congress sends him
journ upon his vetoing it he will convene them
the next day, but if they should a third time
send him a bill and adjourn he will not re-
convene them and thus will throw the respon-
sibility of closing the courts on the Democrat
ic party.
A conference of leading Republicans held
to-day for the purpose of discussing with a
view of harmonizing the action of the
minority in case resolution providing for an
adjournment sine die be introduced before the
judicial bill is finally disposed Of 1t was
pose any such resolution by voting against it,
and that they should pursue the same course if
an attempt to extend the appropriations for
Judicial expenses be made, but in either case
resort to parliamentary tactics to defeat the
plans of the majority.

EUROPE.
The Bonapartists Embarrassed by
the Princes Death.
Seeking Leader in Prince Charles Ma
poleon.

LONDON, June 23-A Paris dispatch says:
The embarrassment of the Bonapartsts is in
creasingly manifest. Cassagnac is reproached
with indiscretion in putting forward the claim
of Prince Victor Bonaparte to the Imperial
succession. In the Sunday issue of the Pays
M. de Cassagnac admits that nothing is Off
cially decided, though perhaps a decision may
be made in few days. 1t is believed M. Rou-
her affected ignorance of will in favor of
Prince Victor, the eldest son of Jerome, be-
cause he considered its validity doubtful unless
Jerome consents to waive his claims. Jerome
is very reticent since his arrival in Paris, and
is apparently awaiting the action of M. Rou.
her. 1t is not believed that Jerome will agree
to be pretender himself or permit his son to
become one. In event of Victor endeavoring
to temporize in not distinctly accepting the po-
sition, the Bonapartists will probably fall back
on Prince Charles Napoleon, the President of
the Corsican Council. Gen. Prince Charles is
40 years of age, has no sons, or royal connec-
lions, and is much less eligible candidate
than Victor.
German Court will go into mourning one
week for the French Prince Imperial.
