WASHINGTON NEWS.

The republican senators held a caucus this
afternoon to further discuss the formation of
the committees. The subject was talked
over at length but nothing was decided. In
cidentally treaties were mentioned and the
question asked whether they had better be
considered during the present session. No
one advocated that course and no one op-
posed. 1t was finally left to the caucus COM
mittee to determine.
First Assistant Postmaster General Crosby
was the first bureau officer to tender his
resignation to President Cleveland. His
resignation was rendered verbally March 9TH
and formally in writing on the day following.
Crosby expressed his willingness to remain
in office long enough to induct his successor
into the duties of the position. His offer was
accepted.
President Cleveland will continue the
practice of having cabinet meetings on Tues
days and Fridays each week and the first
meeting of the new cabinet will be held to-
morrow.
The offices of the various cabinet officials
were besieged all day with crowds of people
who called either to congratulate the in
cumbents on their accession to office or to
further aspirations of office seekers. Gen.
erals Sheridan and Hancock and Chairman
Barnum of democratic national committee
were among the callers.
The number of applications for postmasters
received today at the postoffice department
has never been equalled in any previous day
and the first assistant postmaster general
found it necessary TO detail a special force of
employees to file the applications. When
aspirants presented their claims in person
they were informed that they must file their
applications and await consideration in the
regular order The commissions of 6s Pres
idental postmasters expire during the pres
ent month and over 250 of such commissions
will expire before the beginning of the Eext
session of Congress.
No changes has yet been made at the White
House and it is not believed there will be
more than two or three.

When such resolutions were introduced they

A STRANGE CASE.
Ii Cannot be Decided Whether a Woman
is Living OF Dead.

MoUsT CLEMENS, Mich, Mar. ..
week ago Mrs. Charles Bollenson, a
woman of seventy years, suddenly expired,
it was supposed, of heart disease. Her death
was announced and the funeral took place.
Tuesday, the Efe-like appearance of the
body excited much comment, which in
creased rather than diminished after burial.
Finally, the interest grew so intense that il
was thought best to disinter the body. This
was accomplished Thursday afternoon. the
body having been in the grave two days and
two nights. 1t still bore some life-like ap-
pearance. 1t was placed in room in which
the temperature has been kept steadily at 70
degrees Not the slightest indication of de-
composition is apparent, and physicians de-
clare themselves unable to determine whether
Mrs Bollenson is alive or dead. The case
has created much excitement,

RDSSA LOSING GROUND.
Trouble Between the Two Parties of the
lrisn Agitators.

PARIS. March Q.
1t is alleged thar the reported split in the
ranks of the Irish revolutionists party be-
tween the Flannery and Rossa factions had
its origin in dispute about money. The
Flannery party insist that they shall have the
disbursement of all European collections
without any reference to America, while the
Rossa following takes the ground that the
donations to the cause should go into one
fund.
Itis believed here that Rosa is losing in
fuence, and it is thought that this is largely
owing to the general discharge of Irish en-
playees by English firms, because of the
general fear and distrust of Irishmen pro.
duced by the dynamite outrage in London.
