lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE1
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Senator Wallace said to-
night that there would probably bethe usual formal
caucus of the Democratic Senators tomorrow morn
ing to consider the subject of the membership Of
the Senate committees, but that in all probability
there would be no changes, and no other subject
would be considered. Several of the Pacific coast
Senators arc anxious that their section should be
repre- sented on the Committee Commerce. 1t is
probable that they will take occasion TO make
known the fact and endeavor to secure their end at
this caucus. A rule of the Senate requires that all
committees shall be newly appointed at The begin
ming of each session. Ii has been thought that this
occasion would be seized upon by the silver men to
their efforts to secure the removal of Sena-
tor Bayard IRON the chalrInanshipof the Committee
Finance. Several Senators who were foremost
in the movement against Senator Bayard last SEES
siou have said to-day, however, that they have no
intention of renewing their efforts.

might be made in the opposite direction. They have
generally expressed unchanged views on the broad
questions of full silver reconciliation. and the re-

individual opinions.
A leading sound-money member of the Senate

carry single Southern State for the Re-

can party either practically disbanded or
hopeiessly in the minority for the immo-

What to DO in Cases ofsunstroke.

What TO DO IN Cases OfSunsIr0ke.
DR.. James, Of the New York Board OF
Health, has issued the following circular:
Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat,
aud especially II the weather is "muggy."
1t is more apt to occur on the second, third
or fourth day of heated term than OH the
first. Loss OF sleep, worry, excitement,
close sleeping rooms, debility, abuse Of
stimulants, predispose to it. 1t is more
apt to attack those working in the sun,
and especially between the hours Of
eleven o'clock in the morning and four
o'clock in the afternoon. On hot days
wear thin clothing. Have as cool sleeping
rooms as possible, Avoid loss Of sleep
and all Unnecessary fatigue. II working
indoors and where there is artificial heat,
laundries, ETC., see that the room is
well ventilated. II working in the sun
wear a light hat mot black, as it absorbs
heat), straw, ETC., and put inside OF it on
the head a wet cloth or u large green leaf;
frequently lift the hat from the head and
see that the cloth is wet Do not check
but drink what water you
need to keep it up, as perspiration pre-.
vents the body from being over heated.
Have, whenever possible, an additional
shade, as thin umbrella, when walking,
a canvas or board cover when working in
the sun. When much tatigued do not 20
to work, but be excused from work, espe-
cinlIy after II o'clock in the morning on
very hot days, il the work is in the sun.
II u feeling Of fatigue, dizziness, headache
or exhaustion occurs, cease work
Immediately, lie down in shady
and cool place; apply cold cloths
to and pour cold water over head
and neck Ii any one is overcome by the
heat send Immediately for the nearest
good physician. While waiting for the
physician give the person cool drinks of
water or cold black tea or cold coffee, if
able to swallow. Ii the skin is hot and
dry sponge with or pour cold water over
the body and limbs, and apply to the
head pounded ice, wrapped in a towel or
other cloth. II there is no ice at hand
keep cold cloth on the head, and pour
cold wafer on it, as well as on the body.
II the person is pale, very faint and pulse
feeble, let him inhale ammonia for a few
seconds, or give him a tablespoonful Of
aromatic spirits OF ammonia in two table
spoonfuls Of water with little sugar in it.

Nuen tue FOIL call Is lnuue up II AppcUIS
that the Indian territory exceeds all the
rest OF the Union in the ratio of Union
troops 10 the total Of population. The fig
ures are so startling us to prompt inquiry
of possible error; for nearly one'half OF
the entire number is too large share Of
any people TO go to war. Either all Of
the Indian tribes are included, or else the
aggregate Of troops is multiplied by ten
perhaps. An explanation is due to the
States Of Kansas, Iowa and Minnesota at
least, where the population increased very
rapidly after the war; and upon the CEN
sus Of 1860 they would appear higher in
the table Of averages. Setting these aside
MS exceptions, the table shows that
the loyal States furnished little
more than ten soldiers TO every
hundred Of population under the census
Of 1870. Colorado, then territory, leads
the column with 1881 to the hundred Of
population. OF the older States Ohio
stands at the head with ratio oil ll.0J.
Then follows Indiana with ll.73. Maine
aud New Hampshire present the same
ratio OF 1850. Connecticut comes in with
1898, and Rhode Island with 1890. Lit
tie Delaware presents the high figures OF
1867, and Vermont is close Dit with 1866.
New York ranks tenth at l0G5. Massa-
chusetts stands ut lO.43. Pennsylvania
furnished 1899 troops to every hundred Of
population, and Illinois 1920 to its popu.
lation in 1870. New Jersey falls way
down toS,0i. All the men credited to the
Southern States, except Louisiana, were
white.
The curious statistician will observe that
the total ratio Of enlistments to every hun.
dred OF population in tho whole Union in
1870, is coz, and TO each representative is
II OO5.

We published in the lNrELLIGEScER oil
the l4th, u War Department table show
ing the number Of troops furnished to the
Government by each State during the war
Of the rebellion. These figures are both
curious and interesting, but they are per
haps calculated to nislead in some par
ttculars. For instance, the whole number
OF Troops is put down at 2,G1s,VO7. There
never was that number OF troops under
arms, all told, in the Union armies, but
there were perhaps that many enIistments'
The figures counting re.enlistments are
nagnifed by frequent re'enroIIments,
Which greatly increased the cost Of the war
and postponed its contamination. AT
this period the counsels OF those who,
reasoning from the history Of our revolu'
tiouary struggle, advised that all enlist
rncnts from the beginning should be for
the whole length Of the war, will be seen to
have been wise. They deserve to be repeat
ed and written out for use il any great
conflict should ever again call for allthe
