There was seen last night, between 10 and
IL o'clock, most magnificent display Of au-
roral light in the northern sky, surprising
anything of the kiad ever witnessed in Bal
timore for long timo. The aurora was in
the form of an, arch of varying tints, light
blue, pink, rose, yellow and soft white,
stretching from tho castern to the western
horizon, but most brilliant towards the north
west. From the arch darted up with fit
full, tremulous motion, vas; streams of chnng-
ing color, reaching to the zenith. The all
ternatlng movements of these prismatic colors
was very suggestive of the quick rising and
falling motion of the jet of fountain The
heavens were sufused with the light to such
an extent that many people thought it due to
distant confagrstiou.
Baltimore San, Aprii II.
The brilliant lights referred to in the above
paragraph wcro witnessed by number of
people in this community.

A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS MEETING.
INV Trrrcp,pu To THE TcIprSF

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The members of the
House Republican Caucus Committee held long
conference at the Capitol to-day and discussed seve
raj propositions relating to the business before Con-
gress which requires action and also the advlsibil
ity of calling n general caucus of the Republican
members Of the House, to agree if practicable upon
some plan of united action in relation to certain
measures. The most prominent subject Of discussion
to-day was the proposition to amend the rules of
the House that majority of that body will have
the power to say what particular measures reported
by committees shall receive consideration. There
was general concurrence among the members present
in favor of the proposition and the opinion was ex-
pressed that if necessary it should be pressed as
party measure. This, however, will not be decided
on till after further conference and probably not
until after general caucus to be held some day
next week. when other propositions relating to par
tcular bills which shall be urged for consideration
will also he discussed.
Although il was not formally resolved to call
caucus, 1t was the general sense OF the members
present that 1t should be done. Republican mem-
bers, pretty generally, have reached the conclusion

COLOMBIA AND THE PANAMA CANAL.

PANAMA, March 1.-The Congress OF Co
ombia began its sessions the 1st Of January. The
message OF President Nunez is long but not particular
ly interesting document The most important part Of
President Nuncz message is that in which he refers To
the nnumerabe documents which have been published
in the United States and Europe relative 10 the and
more extensive Interpretations which Americans are
disposed to give TO article 80 Of the Treaty OF ls4G The
idea OF sole American protecOrate over the Panama
Canal is acceptable TO Mr.. Nunez and he asserts
that until the advent of MI. Blaine such a
pretension never put forward by
any Secretary OF state. lie cites the Cayton-Bulwer
Treaty the projected treaty between Colombia and the
United States concerning the canal which was rejected
by the Senate Of the latter and the proposition OF Secr
tary Fish 10 the Nicaraguan Minister in 1871 all or
which place the United states Government as willing 10
enter into arrangements with the great Powers Tor
Joint proteetOrate All Of these considerations led Pres
dent Nunez to hope that the American Government
will not insist upon Mr.. Biaine's Interpretation OF the
Treaty Of 1Si6 and his idea OF American prOtectorae
over the canal
