CARVER WINS THE PIGEON MATCH.
POOR OUTLOOK FOR THE TARIFF.
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

Republicans in Caucus-A Successor to David Davis Nominated by the Sena- tors-The Representatives Discuss Ta r. IR-A Poor Outlook for the BfIl's Pas sage.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The Republican Senators held caucus this morning for the purpose of so shaping proposed legislation as to prevent an extra session of the Senate or a called session of the Forty eighth Congress, and to agree upon some Senator to act as Vice President after the 4th of March, when the term of President, Pro Fem. Davis will expire. They agreed to elect MT. Edmunds and, in order to prevent an extra session of the Senate, to give precedence to the appro- priation bills and to push them through as rapidly as possible
 caucus of Republican members was held immediately after the adjournment of the House this evening to arrange plan of pro- cedure on the tariff bills. The question of the constitutionality of the House adopting the Senate bill was raised, but the chairman did not rule upon it. It was proposed that the House non-concur in the Senate amend ments, thus throwing the Senate bill in con- ference and that the measure reported by the conference committee should be passed in the House without debate. The Pennsylva- nia members objected strenuously to the adoption of the Senate bill chiefly on account of the metal schedule. The caucus, however, adjourned without agreeing upon any definite plan of action. Mir. Haskell, of Kan sas, one of the leading Republican members of the Ways and Means committee, said shortly after the caucus that tariff bill can- not be passed by the House this session, and that it would be political suicide to call an extra session of the House for the purpose of passing such measure.
 Rerdelps testimony in the Star route cases will have the effect of prolonging the trial as the defense will put number of witnesses on the stand. It can be authoritatively stated that Stephen w. Dorsey, Thomas I. Brady and J: M. Miner will testify in their own be- half at the proper time. Other defendants may also be put on the stand, but it cannot be positively asserted.

Dartmouth SOphomOres Suspended.
 HANOVER, Feb. 22.-Thirty Dartmouth college sophotnores, comprising the entire class save five, were indefinitely suspended to-day for giving Prof. Laird tin horn sere- made Saturday night. They also snowballed his house and destroyed his fence because they believed him unnecessarily severe in the examinations of classmate who was out teaching last year and had freshman Latin to make up. The classmate failed to pass and consequently left college. Several sopho- mores were called before President Bartlett at two different times and given chance to explain, but all refused to say anything or duplicate the real offendtrs, hence the entire class save those known not to have attended the serenade were suspended. Many have left town. More are leaving and it is feared the class will be broken up, many failing to return when the ban is removed.

IutunctiOns.

Writs enjoining the New York and Connec- ticut Air Line company from further endea- voring to have the railroad commissioners ap- prove their layout for road have been serv- ed on President Olmstead, at the instance of Simeon B. Baldwin, who is counsel for the Hartford and Harlem. A siu1llar writ has been served in behalf of George A. Isbell, who owns property in Milford that he does not want crossed by railroad tracks. The proceedings were apparently for the purpose of having the Air Line show that they have 8 right to have their layout approved, matter which the commissioners do not pass upon. Mir. Baldwin claims that their transactions thus far do not give them the necessary standing, The proceedings do not interfere with the hearing at Bridgeport before the commissioners next Tuesday concerning the layout of the Air Line road with reference to crossing half @ dozen existing railroad lines. The writs are returnable to the Superior court on the first Tuesday in March.

The Successor of Chic.

French s'chic'' has been displaced by .tpschutt." The fact is worth noticing, be- cause the term chic has barely entered the language of England and the United States, when the Parisians discard it as one throws away an old hat or the daily paper of yester. day evening. The Imperial Dictionary men. tions chic, for which it asks the sound oi sheek, although the pronunciation shick is preferable for three reasons. In the first place the original word Is pronounced shiek, bsing nothing else, as Iittre intimates, thar the German Scaick, which means easy grace. or adroitness coupled with taste.
