CAPITOL NoTEs-A Republican caucus
was held in the Senate Chamber yesterday
afternoon after adjournment of the Legisla-
ture, the bookkeeping at which was conducted
upon principles antagonistic to the proverbial
curiosity of reporters. None but regular Re-
publican members of the Assembly were per-
mitted inside, and they wouldn't leak after
they got outside. 1t can be remarked with
safety, however, that it was agreed that the
military bill and those upon the subject of
revenue and taxation should not be treated
as party questions 1t is also alleged that
the subject Of patronage OF certain State
/ officers was discussed and that change in
the officers of the State Library was agreed
upon.
THE STORM. = Yesterday morning was
ushered in with gale that filed the streets
with clouds of dust, compelling all who could
to desert the streets. No damage was done,
though more disagreeable blustery, dusty
day was never witnessed here. By the mid
| die of the afternoon few scattering drops
of rain gave unmistakable indications that
the longed-for change was at hand. By night
/ the wind had become quiet, and a warm,
/ gentle rain was falling, and still continues
All along the line of railroad in the mountains
snow was falling all night.
