CAUCUS COMMITTEES.
COMPROMISE AGREED UPON.


WASHINGTON May 1.-The two committees
appointed respectively by the House and SEN
ate Democratic caucuses to report what course
of action should be adopted in view of the
Presidential vetoes, past and prospective, held
joint meeting this ternoon OF two ana a ha't
hours duration. In consequence OF the absence
from Washington of Senator Jones, OF Florida,
his place on the Senate committee was Tiled by
Senator Hampton, and for similar reasons hep
resentatives Bragg and Goode were to-day ap-
pointed by the chairman OF the House caucus
TO fill the places occupied heretofore by Repre-
sentatives Phelps and Tucker. The other
members of the committee named in last nights
dispatch were all present except Senator Ker-
nan, who was to-day in New York. Senator
Thurman presided. After full interchange
of views all present
AGREED UPON PROPOSITION
concerning the army bill, to be reported to
separate cauouses of the two houses tomorrow
afternoon, which it is expected will be adopted
by both of them, and thus render joint caucus
on this subject unnecessary. 1t was decided
that the terms of this proposition should not
be made public III advance of submission to
the caucus. but there are sufficient grounds
for stating it will recommend the repassage of
the army appropriation bill with the
SIXTH SECTION CHANGED
so as to apply to officers IF the army and navy,
and not to United States civil officers, thus
abolishing the principal objection raised by
the President against its approval. The argu-
ment by which this recommendation will be
supported is in brief that the President vetoed
the bill because of its alleged infringement
of the powers of the civil Off
GERS, that in reality this not
the intention, and would not be the effect of
the bill as heretofore passed, and that the
President, having in the opinion of the Demo-
cratic party, waived the opportunity to pass
upon a bill which shall present to him the sole
question whether or not the army or a portion
should be used to keep peace at the polls, will
give such bill his approval. For the purpose
Of attending the caucus the Degenerate m

adjourned over until Saturday.

A MISSING MAN.
Fears Entertained That He Has Committed
Suicide

Fears Entertained That He Has Committed
Suicide
young man named Christopher Krinn,
from DEBORAH, Iowa, was at police headquarters
yesterday in the character of Japeth in search
for his father. He stated that his father came
here ten days ago in search of work. Several
days ago he started out to Hamm's brewery to
find employment, since then nothing has been
heard of him. The old gentleman, G. Krinn, is
described az 5 feet 9 inches tall, aged 49,
wears full light beard; is German. When
he disappeared he had on grey suit of clothes.
Any information of his whereabouts COM
municated to police headquarters here or to
Krinn's family in DEBORAH, Iowa, will be CRATE
fully received.
Since writing the above, circumstances have
transpired which lead to the suspicion that the
missing man has committed suicide.
Upon arriving in this city Krinn repaired to
the residence of Mr.. Hermann DeBow, on st.
Peter street, to whom he frequently spoke in a
respondent manner of his failure to procure
work. The two being old friends, Mr.. DeBow
endeavored to relieve Krinn of his anxiety by
stating that as soon as spring business fairly
opened up there would be no difficulty III OBJ
tanning employment, all efforts in this direc-
ton, however, resulting Intellectually.
Towards the close of last week
he gave his son $50 and directed him
to proceed to Iowa and accompany Mrs. hrlnn
to this city. Believing that there was some
thing singular in such proceeding, Mr.. DeBow
suggested that Krinn had better go for his
wife himself, as the boy was hardly old enough
for sue an important mission, to which he re-
| piled that during his sons absence he might
succeed in getting work. Shortly after young
Krinn had started for Iowa the father suddenly
disappeared, since when nothing could OF
| learned of his whereabouts.
Before leaving ION Monday last) Krinn made
some inquiry as to the chances for obtainins
employment at MINNEAPOLIS. and believing tina
| he might have visited that city, Mr.. DeBov
went up on an Grand of inquiry yesterday, blu
no trace was discovered of his having ever beef
there. Mrs. Krinn arrived here yesterday after
noon, and the news of her husband 8 disappear
ance will almost drive the poor won an to tn
verge of distraction, as the bad news had bee
kept from her up to last night, in hopes tia
some word might be learned of his where

at the time of his disappearance.
