WASHINGTON, February pa caucus OF
Republican senators was held this morning
for the purpose OF determining the order
OF business in regard TO matters OF general
legislation now pending. The caucus com
mittee appointed some weeks since report
ed that they had considered the subject,
and I'll It in their opinion action should be
taken at this session upon the shipping
bill. Dakota division bill. pension bills,
and bankruptcy bill. This report gave
rise to considerable discussion, seye-
raj senators asserting that other mea-
sures are equally important, and
should not be overlooked. Among these
Senator Blair strongly urged the import
ance of the educational bill introduced by
him. Pending further discussion the
House adjournment arrived, aud IL was
agreed 10 hold another caucus tomorrow.
The only understanding reached was that
the anti-bigamy bill, which was taken NJ
Yesterday when comparatively few senators
were in attendance, should be laid aside
to-day, in order 10 take up the naval APP
preparation bill, and that during the re
mainder OF the session precedence shall in
yariably be given regular annual appro
priation bills, revenue bills, and pension
| bills.
