REPuBL1CAN sENA roRs IN CAUCUS.
Deciding TO Oppose the Political Legislation
In the Army BIli.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-At a we'll attended
caucus of Republican Senators this afternoon.
there was very general and harmonious inter-
change OF views concerning tho course to be
pursued by tho minority In regard TO the Army
Appropriation bill No formal action was taken.
but II was agreed that every possible effort
should be made to defeat the passage OF tho bill
in It's present shape. for the reason mainly that
the enactment OF its sixth section would. ip the
opinion OF the minority. prevent tho use OF tho
posse comitatus on election days for tho execu-
tion OF civil process OF any and all descriptions.
issued by United States authority. Several other
provisions OF the bill were also considered very
Objectionable and in need Of amendments. which
will be offered by various Republican Senator'S
Among them are tho clauses which propose
TO prohibit appointments md promotions In tho
army, until otherwise provided by law. while nt
the same tmo. the bill holds out Inducements
for the creation of additional vacancies, 10y pro-
viding that all officers hereafter retired by rca-
son OF wounds. shall bo retired upon the high
est ranks respectively held by them in the reRu-
lar or volunteer service before retirement.
A number OF Senators expressed their belief
that tho purpose OF these provisions is to pave
tho way for the appointment into the army
hereafter. OF friends OF the dominant party in
Congress. Although no propositions were for
mally adopted by the caucus several amend
monts TO the sixth section. OF which notice has
been given in the Senate, were spoken OF with
general favor; especially those submitted by
Senators Blaine and Paddock, the first provid-
ing heavy penalties against the presence Of any
person bearing deadly wenpons-either con-
cealed or diapayed-within mile OF any poll
ing place on n Federal election day. and tho
second providing that the posse comtatus
clnuse OF the act OF last year shall not be appli
cable to any troops employed in tho protection
OF life and property in the States of Nebraska
Oregon. Nevada, Kansas, and Colorado and the
Territories subject to Indian incursons. or
upon Indian reservations.
Mr.. Paddock's amendment was adopted by
the Senate unanimously last year but was
stricken off the bill by tho Committee OF Con-
ference.
From tho tenor Of tho remarks to-day 1t
seems probable that many speeches will be
made upon the Army bill by Republican Scna-
tors. anu that the debate is likely to be pro-
longed for ten days or fortnight.

Mr.. Cloyes told Of an incident that happened

5000 children are in daily attendance. In this
school there are two horizontal tubular boilers
for heating tho building, attended by n woman.
At noon one day she became frightened nj n
peculiar noise made by the boiler. and ran into
6S Suffolk street and got an engineer named
Jennings 10 come and look at the boiler. Jen.
nings found that instead of the 10 pounds oi
steam allowed by law the gauge Indicated "a
pounds. and the water gauge showed that the
boilers were dry. He hastily drew the fires,
and thereby nverted what would probably have
proved terrible catastrophe
The opinion OF the engineers present seemed
to be- that the hammer test WIS the proper one
for boiler and not the hydrostatic. which Is

srEdLING FROM MS KMPLOYER.
Arthur Jennings Betrnying n Trust that he
hnd HeId for FIneen enrs.

A wcll-dressed man, OF middle-nge and re-
spotahlc dcmcanor. stepped to the bar ycstcr-
day before Justice OterbourG. in the Tombs
Police Court when the name OF Arthur jennings
was called He had been for fifteen years an
employee Of James Lynch. Commissioner oi
Emigration who is n wool dealer at III Church
street. Jennings was charged with having. IN
his caparity'as bookkeeper and cashier Of the
establishment. collected certain rents paid to
Mr. Lynch. who Is executor for some estates.
and appropriating the money 10 his own uses.
The complainant said that Jennings had taken
from him upward OF $1,000 during the past
that between sl5. 900 and $4,000 had been ap-
prOprated in tho same way In the course OF the
fifteen years that his bOOkkeepcr had been en-
ployed by him; the only specific charges he
made however were that on March . the pris-
oner had unlawiully appropriated s9l.G6. the
property OF depOnent as executor. Francis NJ.
Ennis. another Of Mr.. Lynch's clerks, sworo
tnat on tho date. mentioned he had received
t9l.G6 from DIR. Mathews. and paid 1t over as
was customary, to Arthur jennings.
In the second complaint Mr.. Lynch alleged
that on March 10 jennings appropriated s6666.
received in the same way. and that during the
month Of December. 1873. he had fraudu emily
taken large sums, the property OF his employer.
Mr.. Ennis corroborated this. as he had done the
former complaint.
The prisoner. who was exceedingly downcast.
covering portion OF his face with his silk hat.
answered the questions put TO him in tone so
low MS TO be almost naudible TO any one eN-
ceptng the Judge. He wns AZ years of age. he
red. and lived at 2ll West Fifty ifih street.
He was a bOokkeeper by profession. and de-
clned to say whether he was guilty or not
Justice OtterbOurg held him in 81 900 bail on
the flrst complaint. and ~. 900 on tho second.
Mr. Lynch said that until very recently no had
no suspicion whatever that Jennings was de-
frauding him but detectives discovered that he
was living in far greater luxury than his salary
would admit. and yesterday he was arrested.
