Cheerful News form Mr.. VennOr.::

MONTREAL, March ll.-Vennor writes
The winter Of 1881 Is not over yet by any
means, and nothing in my opinion could
render this more probable than the
present term Of mild weather. There are
yet at least three storm periods in this
month-namely, on the 18th, 18th or 18th
secondly on the 10th and l7th, and lastly
on the 10th and 2lst. The last two periods
will give us heavy snowialls, one Of which
is likely to be the heaviest snowfall of the
winter. This will be pretty general over a
large part OF North America, and is likely
to cross over TO Great Britain. There will
also be one more cold dip Of considerable
severity, The month will end with rain
and slush.

Anger At lhe iSixIy-ninIh Regiment Be
cause II VIII Not Turn Out 10 Escort
The Parade.
New YoRE, March ll,-A spicy time Ia
expected at the meeting Of the Irish socie-
ties tonight, on account Of the refusal Of
the sixty.ninth Regiment to participate
in the parade OF st. Patrick's Day, The
action Is bitterly denounced by many Of
the prominent members OF the Ancient
Order Of HiberniAns, and not q few OF the
rank and fls OF the regiment express the
opinion that the action OF the Board OF
Officers Is exceedingly unwlse. The Sixty
ninth has always escorted the Irish socie'
ties on their annual parade, with the ex-
Ception OF last year, when 1t was thought
best by all parties that there should be NO
military display owing to the famine in
Ireland, The reason for the refusal is
said to be the order Of Adjutant General
Townsend prohibiting the regiments OF
the National Guard TO parade for the ben.
eft ofany religious sect or organization.
Members OF the societies say that they are
not to be regarded as religious organizA'
tons In the sense Of the order, and de-
clare that q number OF snobs have joined
the regiment who do not want 10 turn out
with the societies.

To Organize or Not 10 Organizr, that Is
the Question.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Demo.
cratic caucus this morning discussed the
subject OF reorganization, the main ques.
ton being whether proceedings should
be suspended until all the vacancies are
filled. Some favored asking the Rspub.
licans to state when their side Of the cham.
ber will be full, and to name the day when
they will be willing to 20 into organiza.
tion. Other Senators maintained that the
public business ought not to wait because
Of several vacancleu, and that the Demo.
Gratis should go ahead.
Mr.. Vance proposed that the Democrats
should agree 10 pair with the four Repub.
liCan vacancies by withholding four DEM
ocratic votes, and ask the Republicans to
20 on with the organization, but o majority
OF the CAUCUS oVerruled this and decided
TO 70 right on.
Mr.. Garland and others suggested II the
Republicans would name an early day
when they will take part In the organiza.
lion, It could be 10 arranged, and the
caucus virtually agreed to 1t, This ar.
rapgement will probable be made,
fixing next Wednesday or Thurs.
day for organization. The Re.
publicans to-day claim Malone, Senator
Conkling's emphatic declaration that .
