WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The caucus of the

committee on membership of the Senate
committees was adopted. The following are
the changes in the chairmanships of a major
ity of the committees Foreign relations,

the committee on foreign relations Miller,

and Frye holds fourth place on the COM
merce committee. The remaining changes
are unimportant.
Senator Edmunds was not present and the
ITO my Republican brethren of the Senate
"Gentlemen-At the close of the last session,
when large number of Republican senator's
elect had no voice in the selection of a President
pro tempOre, and when none of those then in Of
fee reelected could be chosen for the place. you
did me the great honor to place me in that office.
l felt then that had your range of choice been
as great it now is another senator would have
been your choice, as he would have been mine.
Difficulties then existing are now removed 1
gladly hasten to return to your hands unembar-
rassed the disposition of the trust the senators
imposed on me- ana invite yon TO proceed to
elect another President pro tempOTe of the Sem
ate. With grateful thanks for unsought proof
of confidence shown me, and with the wish to
be relieved, Faithfully yours,
"GEO. F. EDMUNDs"
The caucus postponed action on the letter
for the reason that Senator Anthony has not
been sworn in for the present term, but it was
informally determined that when the time for
action is reached Senator Anthony will re-
ceive the nomination of the caucus for Presi-
dent of the Senate. A motion was carried
to consider the question of electing officers
of the Senate by the caucus on Thursday.

OF negotiations carried on by the govern
nent.
Andreux said the government must be
left to settle the affair themselves, but credits
could not be refused. He declared, how
ever, dissimulation existed in regard to facts
of the affair and the acts of the government.
Robot denied that voting credits would
imply approval of the entire conduct OF the
government. He thought the disavowal of
Bouree was an act OF imprudence. The gov
ernment had pursued policy of presump-
ton and infatuation, and was now glad to
fall back upon the Bourees scheme. 1t was
now impossible to advise the abandonment
of Tonquin, and a new cabinet would
disastrously affect the army. No other cab
met was ready to take the reins OF govern
ment.
Clemencean declared that nobody dreamed
of abandoning the soldiers of France in the
presence of the enemy, but operations and
negotiations could no longer be confided to
the present cabinet. A vote of confidence
would mean declaration of war with China.
The credits bill was then adopted by 318
to 146.
Ferry accepted an order of the day proposed
by Bert, that the government display the
necessary energy in defending the influence
and honor of France in Tonquin. Carried

A Band of Young Incendiaries.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 10.-About seventeen in
cendiary fires of the month past have been
traced by the police to Bennie West, Joe
Moffatt Finch and Millard, four boys about
thirteen years of age, sons of refined people,
residents of the Fourth ward, where the fires
occurred The boys have been arrested. They
had formed a Buffalo Bill organization, and
had a pirates den, where they kept dime
novels, guns and lassoes, and from which
they made raids on pantries of well-to-do
neighbors. Suspicion fell upon them because
of the frequent loss of jellies and pies and
the general braggadocio air the boys assumed.
Young Finch confesses, but the others deny

THAT TEXAS SLAVE CLAIM.
Barred by the Statute, of Limitations, and
Buried Beyond Hope, of Resurrection.

Barred by the Statute, of Limitations. and
Buried Beyond Hope of Resurrection.
Special to Pittsburg Dispatch.
Your correspondent was informed at the
Court of Claims that no suits have yet been
filed there by Texas parties to recover the
value of their slaves emancipated during the
late war. Chief-justice Waite says, with ref
erence to recent Associated Press dispatch,
if such suits are brought they will amount
to nothing, as such claims are barred by the
statute of limitations. Section 1869 of the
Revised Statutes provides that every claim
against the United States cognizable by the
Court of Claims shall be forever barred un-
less the petition setting forth statement
thereof is filed in the court or transmitted to
it by the Secretary of the Senate or the Clerk
of the House of Representatives, as provided
by law, within six years after the claim first
occurred. The claims in question occurred
toward the close of the war, nearly twenty
years ago, and are consequently outlawed by
this statute.
This removes all interest in the cases. No
matter under what provisions of law Texas
constitution is prominent lawyers say no
claim for emancipated slaves can now be re-
ceived for adjudication. These constitu-
tional provisions, whatever they are, have
no force and effect, and the rights of the
States under them, whatever they may once
have been, do not now exist

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Arrival of the Board of Trade Committee
Conference Last Night.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec 10.-The committee
from Indiana polis-Messrs. Grubbs, Lynch,
Mckay and Holstein-arrved this evening
and met the resident Indianians at the Riggs
House. The committee reports that Indian
apolis has hotel accommodations for Is, 900
to 10000 guests; that the citizens will build
hall to accommodate from 6000 to 10000
people, and will also defray the usual ex-
penses incidental to conventions, such as
printing tickets, furnishing ushers, ETC.
There is reasonable ground to hope for the
success of Indianapolis, but Philadelphia,
Chicago, Cincinnati and Saratoga are strong
competitors. Delegations arrived to-day
from Chicago and Cincinnati, and dele
cation from Philadelphia will be here to-
morrow. The Indiana delegation will issue
an address tomorrow morning, which will
be presented to the national committee by
Col. Dudley and Mayor Grubbs, who will
also fully explain the advantages of Indian
apolis before the committee. The congress-
ional delegation and committee held a con-
ference tonight to agree upon the best
means of presenting the claims of Indianap-
oils before the national committee. In ad-
dition to the members of the delegation
there were present Postmaster-general
Gresham, Hon. John G, New, Commissioner
Dudley, Capt. Ransdell and Chief Clerk
Walker of the Postoffice Department. The
matter was talked over informally, but no
conclusion reached.

MINOR MATTERS.
General Browne Endeavors to Put End
to Crying Abuse.

General Browne EndeaVors TO HuC an End
to a Crying Abuse.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-One of the abuses
that has long prevailed under the rules of the
House is the leave granted members to print
in the Congressional Record speeches that are
not delivered in many instances speeches ap-
pearing in the Record on subjects not before
Congress- and weeks after the expiration of
the session. General Browne to-day proposed
a new rule on this subject, which provides
that leave to print shall only be given at the
time when the subject proposed to be dis
cussed is before the House for consideration
and under debate and that remarks printed
under leave shall be strictly confined to such
subject and be printed before adjournment of
the session.
