sHERMAN's RESOLUTIONS.
The Democrat Senators IN Caucus &
Decide What Plan 10 Adopt in
Regard to them.

The democratic senators held . caucus
after the adjournment Of the Senate today,
for the purpose of deciding upon the policy
to be adopted in reference to Senator Sher.
mans resolution calling for an investigation
Of the alleged outrages in Virginia and Mis-
sissippi The session lasted three hours.
1t was decided that the party sctions be gov
erned by circumstances. II the republican
senators in their remarks should threat the
alleged outrages ~ ascertained and
proved facts, should refer to specific
acts of violence and intimidation and
should attempt to charge the democratic party
with the responsibility for such acts. would,
in the opinion of the caucus be proper and
expedient for the democratic senators to &C.
cept the issue and enter actively into the de-
bates. This it was conceded would probably
lead to heated political CONTROVERSY, if,
however, the republicans should not directly
contend for the issue. if they should con-
fine to the general allegation of local dis
order and violence and did not assert that the
democratic party fostered and encouraged the
the spirit which gave rise to such dirturb-
ance il was decided to let the republicans
have the debate mainly to themselves.

Some of the democratic papers represent
that the republican party is not in favor
of paying the national debt. Let US see
II there is any truth In such An assertion.
The best way to ascertain is to find what
the party has done IN regard to this matter.
II appears that the total debt Of the United
States. less cash in the Treasury at the
maximum point, August 81. 1865, was
o., 1856. 431 Bills. On June 80. 1888. it
was 81 .55i ,091. 207 .4S, showing n reduc-
ton in the debt. including accrued inter-
est. less cash in the Treasury. of $780,
$40. $685.. With such n record as that to
point to, the republican party can endure
with perfect equanimity the rockies asser-
tons of demagogues that it is not in favor
Of paying the debt. What 1t has done it
will continue to do--pay the debt as fast
as 1t Is expedient TO do so.

The democratic free traders are making
much Of the cut-down Of prices taking
place at some factories in this country, at
tributing IL TO the protective tariff. But
they forget to notice that in free trade
England prices have been 50 reduced that
strikes Of workingmen Of great proper

things occur in England. the paradise Of

sober senses talk of free trade as . reme-

In the cotton industry wages are from so

wish to adopt free trade and have prices

VINEYARD HAVEN, Jan. %.
Up to this morning no additional bodies
from the City of Columbus have been found
on the shores of the island. About $50 cases
of boots and shoes and a number Of packages
of other merchandise have been picked up

New LONDON, Conn.,, Jan. 20.
Wrecker Scott has returned from the
vey of the hull under water. He found q
hole forward, twenty feet from the
stern and several smaller holes forward and
aft also perpendicular crack near the fore
mast, while on the bottom were fragments of
Jagged rocks evidently broken from larger
boulders on which the ship struck.
After completing the survey of the star
board side along the bottom, Scott came up
and made an attempt to examine the deck.
He went under at the forward hatch where
he found the deck uninjured, when he was
caught in the crest of an immense breaker
and hurled feet foremost into the air asd
overheard.
Saturday the wind blew fresh from the
northwest, but the sea was moderate, weather
clear, and Scott was able to remain two
hours under water and complete the survey.
He went down well aft on the port side and
examined along the bottom. He found por-
tions of the sm0kestack and machinery, lines,
sails and other wreckage strewed along the
port quarter by the main rigging. If any
bodies were there it would be impossible to
discover them without clearing away the
wreckage.
There was no material injury to the hull
aft of the boilers, near the bottom, but there
were numerous cracks and several holes for
ward. There was an extensive crack under
the foremost which Scott thinks may be q
continua tioA of the one mentioned above
which he found on the starboard side and if
his deductions are correct the vessel has
broken in two.

credi, for great humanity, generosity aad
kindness in the treatment of the survivors of

LONG ISLAND MURDERS.
Theory That a Man is Crazed by the
Tragedies.

JAMAICA, l.. l., Jan. %.
The examination OF Edward /. Tappan,
charged with being implicated in the Maybee
murder, was begun in the town hall this
morning. Since the arrest of the negro,
Rugg, charged with committing the Sprague
outrage, on Friday, and the discovery of
evidence circumstantially connecting him
with the Townsend assault and the Maybee
murder there has been a growing sentiment
that Edmund Happens confession is that of
man driven crazy BY bounding detectives and
little reliance can be placed II his state
ments. The authorities believe both Tap
pans and Rugg we're concerned in the Town
send and Maybee affair and are working to
establish that theory. Excitement was high
in the court room when Tappen was brought
in handcuffed. He was crying bitterly and
looked carew orn and haggard.

A large number of deputy sheriffs and
constables have been ordered to Hicksville
