WAsuINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE death Of four mem
ber~ of the House of Representatives since the be-
ginning of the holiday season, ana the serious i'll
ness of others has directed attention again 10 the
important question whether there are not local
causes which render Washington unhealthy as a
place of residence. The rate Of mortality
here during the Winter months Is generally
high. but it is due to the numerous
deaths among the negro population, from exposure
and insufficient food unwholcsome food, and TO a
disregard of the commonest sanitary laws. Inc
mortality among the white population alone Is not
great. only about ouo-thrd as great as among the
co.ored people and only little more than one-haIf
as great as among the total population.
One cause of sickness among Congressman Is I'M
ouesti0nably the change of climate and ways Of
living People coming from the South find the cir
mate of such a Winter rs this very trying and the
more so because many of them are not accustomed

lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE.

MFAsUHE-A RESOLUTION To RECOGNIZE IT As
sUcH.
by TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WAsHINGIoN. Jan. 1.-THE Republicans Of the
Senate held "A caucus yesterday for the purpose OF
considering the order of business during the re-
maindcr of the session and to discuss the financial
question The latter subject naturally received the
most attention.
The success Of resumption under laws passed by
Republican Congresses, which laws We're distinct
lively Republican measures, has caused the Mem
bers of that party to consider whether some autAou-
tative public expression of the position of the party
toward financial issues should not be made The
sentiment seemed TO be unanimous among the
Eenators present in the caucus yesterday that some
measure ought 10 be adopted; and a commit
tee of which Senator Edmunds is the chairman.
was appointed to prepare a resolution to be sub
mitted to a subsequent meeting This resolution
will probably direct attention to the steps by which
resumption has been accomplished, showing that
every one of them was a distinctively Republican
measure, passed by Congress in spite Of Democratic
opposition and carried into successful operation by
Republican Administrations.
There are rumors this evening that some of the
Senators called attention the fact that Secretary
Sherman is receiving IN very large measure from
he business men of the country, and from ire
people generally the credit of having pre-
pared the Resumption Act and OF having carried
it into operation. Attention Is said 70 have
been called to the history Of that act differences
existing in the Senate in 1s74-'75 on the
financial question are SAID to have been referred TO-,
and the difficulty Of harmonlzng the conflicting
elements of the party have been recalled. The
danger of division of the party on the currency
question in Is73l75 led to the holding of a very
important caucus in which the whole question was
fully discussed and a committee, consisting Of
M,ssrs. Edmunds, Morrill,, Logan, Allisou Sargent,
Dorsey, Sherman. West, Window and Jones,
OF Nevada, was appointed. with instructions
TO prepare a bin providing for resumption
upon which the dscOrdant elements OF the
party could unite. Concessions were made on bolh
sides and II Is now asserted by n member OF that
committee that Secretary sherman opposed hXlng
any specific time for resumption, and voted against
the date which finally Incorporated III the BILL
He subsequently reported II from the Committee on
Finance bv the instruction of that committee.
These facts were recalled by Republican senators
at this time not for the purpose of detractlng
from the credit due Mr. sherman for his part III
bringing about resumption but 10 snow that the re-
turn 10 specie payments has been effected by the
Republican party and not by any one or two men,
bers Of II.
The committee appointed to prepare resolution
will report 10 an adjourned meeting OF the caucus
TO be held within few days.
