WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Republican
Senators. in caucus to-day, decided to con-
tinue their efforts to procure the passage
of the pending resolution for the immedi-
ate election of Senate officers, by adhering
persistently to the policy and programme
heretofore pursued.
Senator Miller has leased a handsome
furnished residence on Connecticut ave-
nue. in this city, and Senator Fair is in
treaty for the purchase of u large and
costly dwelling house in the same neigh
borhood.
Senator Conkling still remains quiet on
the subject of the existing deadlock in the
Senate, but his voice will doubtless be
heard in the Republican caucus on Mon
day. If he strongly favors a maintenance
Of the deadlock he can probably control
the matter, but one of his intimate friends
said to-day that Conkling was not anxious
to postpone the opening OF the fight with
the administration and that the Senate
and the people will soon be made aware Of
that fact.
One Of Beccher's LAMBS Finds
Pastures.
New York, April A deep hush fell
on Plymouth Church yesterday, and every
ear was strained when Beecher said he
would relate an incident which he had
never spoken Of before. He remarked
playfully that he would now tell it conf
dentially. There came to me-" he said,
"a member Of my own church, the mother
of a young woman, who said her daughter
had become fascinated with the Roman
worship, and wanted to mite with that
church. ! said to her, Tell your child to
wait one year, until her mind and judg-
ment are settled, and if at the end of
that time she is drawn nearer to God
and to Heaven through that church, let
her come, and We will take her by the
hand aud carry her to the door," At the
end Of the year she was still anxious to en-
ter that church, and | sat down and wrote
a letter to an honored Catholic. priest OF
this city, and said This lamb has found
greener pastures in your fields than mine"
She Joined the Catholic Church, and is to-
day a happy Christian girl in that COM
munion. He added: / would do it again
il 1T were necessary, for when / speak OF
the unity Of all that believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ, l mean it. / don't believe
in external unity, but / believe in internal
unity. In this connection the preacher
said / would rather side in with the most
ragged, third-class cathartic that was ever
put IN the rail. if it would take me home,
than the most luxurious parlur car that
ever was built, il it would take me further
from home. There was a sensation and
the utmost stiffness when this story was
told.
The Obstruction to be Charged
Against b Dominant Party.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-Democratic Sem
ators say they have no intention or need
Of holding another caucus in regard to the
pending contest over the Senate offices.
They remark that the Democrats have no
especial interest in or responsibility for
the accumulated executive. nominations
that in regard to most of these cases they
are just as willing to see the actual in
cumbents of offices continued as to put in
new ones that if the Republicans pre-
vent the holding of executive sessions, at
which the few but important vacant offices
might be filled, the Instructions of public
business must be charged up against the
dominant majority: in short, they are
united and determined in their present
attitude, and will have no need Of further
~caucusing until the situation changes.

Mrs. Moore called upon Mrs. Sprague.
Living at the same hotel with the Moores

of their call to Mrs. Sykes, and she EN-.
bodied them in a pleasant paragraph about
Mrs. Sprague's home. Mrs. Sprague re.
ceived a copy If the paper and straightway
called upon Mrs. Moore to thank her for
the kind newspaper paragraph, as she knew
that no one else could give the information
