From Our spectd Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. G., December IS The
two caucuscs held by the Republican Sem
ators to-day definitely settle the question
as to whether there is to be reorganization
OF the Senate officers and employees. At
the morning caucus Gen. Anson McCook
was nominated for Secretary. Malone was
in this caucus, but did not have anything
to cay. There were four candidates sug-
gested, Geo. G. Gorham, ex Clerk Nc
Pherson, Of the House, Gen. McCook and
a man named Ramsdell, from Indiana.
As soon as icCook wes declared the choice
OF the caucus Malone left the room, aud, 1t
Is understood, expressed himself as very
much displeased. he said to friend that
he had been invited into the Republican
household aud then kicked out. He at
once sought Senator Riddleberger, with
whom he had long conference. It is not
believed that either Malone or Riddle
berger will be present when the resolution
comes up for passage.
James R. Young, a brother Of John Rus
sell Young, the present Minister to China,
was nominated for Executive Clerk.
Charlie, johnson, Of Minnesota, wss the
choice for Chief Clerk, and Mr.. Cansdy, Of
North Carolina, will be Col. Dick Brighi's
successor as Sergeant-at.Arms. The reso-
luton will probably be presented on Mon
day and acted upon on Tuesday. Whether
or not Malone and Riddlebergeryote with
the Republicans, the latter will, have one
majority without them. Don Cameron,
who 10 In Europe, is not paired on the re-
organization, and should one other Repub-
lican Senator be absent without being
paired on the vote on the resolution 1t will
be a tie. However 1t is not thought there
will be any absentees.
As before stated in these dispatches
there are five West yirginians in the
present organization ol the Senate en-
ployes whose heads will surely be chop.
ped of.
There was strong disposition among
the Republican Senators to retain Col.
Bright as Sergeantat.Arms, but these
who fsyored this were largely In the mi.

but all the passengers and employees on the

The boat Ia q wreck. 1t w9s valued at

| City leit its clip at 1l:35 A. NJ starting for
Long Island City. It had goIo barely
twice its own length, heading up the
stream, when flames were seen bursting
through the deck above the boiler. Pilot
Nelson promptly reversed the engine and
backed into the slip again, but so rapid
was the speed OF the flames that before 1t
reached the bridge the cabins were flames
from end to end. In a desperate jump for
the bnlkhead Of the Terry slip to save him
sell, the pilot dislocatei his
shoulder, but fell out Of reach Of
the flames. The engineer, Samuel Tracy,
ran through the flames and
reached the deck with his clothing
ablaze. The shirt was burned from his
body and his hair was ainged. James
Keil, the fireman, finding Grape to the deck

gers Hughit', oil the Neithwessern, and
Clark, Of the Union Pacific Railroads, ar
rived here from New York this morning
Mr.. Hushi!t stated to the representative Of
the Associated Press that the Northwestern
Company had been informally notified Of
the existence OF triple alliance between
the Union Pacific, Rock Island and St.
Paul roads, but the terms Of the compact,
which has been signed, hes not been out
lined.
An informal notice has also been given
to the Northwestern road that 1t could
enter the new a!Sociation, but on what
terms it is aleo not stated. The policy Of
the Northwestern was ss had been from
the outset for the peaceful adjustment Of
any differences on the Union Pacific bust
ness, and any action which might be mr.
sued by the Northwestern in certain
alternative would certainly not be outlined
until the exact position OF the three roads
in the new association has been disclosed.
His deliberate view was that tho Union
Pacific could not afford to enter upon any
serious discrimination sgainst any OF lis
feeders, but 10 any event the Northwestern
is expected to be able 10 protect lis inter
este, and would certainly do 30. He could
not say that the now agreement would be
disclosed at the adjourned meeting oil the
Iowa pool next Tuesday, as 1t did not prop:
erly form part Of the business Of the old
association. II at that session the old asso.
citation was renewed, he did not under
stand that 1t came in conflict in any way
with the new arrangement, and that in the
event of renewal OF the old pool, the new
agreement would remain In abeyauce SO
long as five roads now touching at Omaha
could work together under the old plan.
Mr.. CLARK, Of the Union Pacific, and Mr..
Potter, OF the Burlington, had conference
this morning, but the new agreement was
not touched upon.
