Many attempts have been made to draw

Republican Caucus.
WASHINGTON, Feb. pa caucus of
Republican members of the Senate was
held this morning for the purpose of
determining the order of business in
regard to matters of general legislation
now pending. The committee appoint
cd some weeks ago reported that they
had considered the subject and il their
opinion action should be taken at this
session upon the shipping bill, the Da-
kota division bill, the pension bills, and
the bankruptcy bill. This report gave
rise TO considerable discussion, several
Senators asserting that other measures
were equally important, and should not
be overlooked. Among these, Senator
Blair strongly urged the importance of
the educational bill introduced by him.
Pending further discussion the house
adjourned, but it was agreed to hold
another caucus tomorrow.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-The only I'M
reached this morning was
that the anti-bigamy bill, taken up yes
terday afternoon when comparatively
few Senator's were in attendance, should
be laid aside today in order to take up
the naval appropriation bill, and that
during the remainder of the session
precedence shall invariably be given to
the regular appropriation bills, revenue
bills aud pension bills.
The current rumor that the caucus
this morning selected Senator Edmunds
as its choice for President pro tenn of
the Senate has no foundation. The
subject of providing for the election of
a new President pro tenn. was not even
alluded to in today's caucus.
The House Committee on Appropria-
tons today discussed a proposition of
tho Secretary Of the House to oonsol-
idate certain collection districts, and

approximation for customs districts as
are now constituted.
The majority report of the House
Committee on the improvement of the
Mississippi river was completed and

report, signed by Thomas and Ellis, and
a minority report on the outlet system,
signed by Butterworth, Holman and
HaZeltOn.
The Ways and Means Committee this
