The young buck with alight mus
tache, from Sioux City, who has
been running a saloon in the Noun
sey building, west Of the CONNER
cial House, for the past few weeks,
contrary to law, rather suddenly
terminated his enterprise last Mon
day afternoon. Quite a crowd gath
cred in his establishment to sample
a new supply of rot-gut he had
brought up from the city that morn
ing. The samples proved to be a
wild sort of stuff, and the crowd got
noisy and finally inaugurated a reg
lar old "Donny-brook" knock down,
and the crimson liquid flowed free
ly from the mugs of a number. The
light haired youth got terribly fright
ened at the first show of blood, and
deserted his ranch and run like a
steer in the corn for Sioux City.
The last seen of him was about a
mile down the railroad track run
ming like a raoe-horse. After the
proprietor had deserted the estab-
lishment, the crowd had it all their
own way and everlastingly demol-
ished everything in the shape of
glassware in the room. Only one
arrest was the result Of the melee,
and that was John McGraw for strik-
ing Morris Harrington. He was ia
ken before Justice Smythe and fin
ed. 1t is hoped by all good citizens
that this young blood from Sioux
City may never set foot in u city
again until he undergoes a thorough
reformation. The establishment he
has been running has been a dis
grace to the city.

WASHINGTON, December ll.-At II
o'clock to-day Sherman resigned the
position as Chairman Of the Caucus and
Edmunds was electsd to that place.
This action was due TO the fact that no
Senator had ever been Chairman Of the
Caucus and presiding officer OF the Sem

it incumbent on him not to depart from
the line Of precedent.
The action of the Caucus Committee
on deciding to tender to Senator Sewall

old place on the Committee Of Military
Affairs was ratified. Nearly all Of the
time Of the session was devoted to the

The Senators expressed their views
freely and were found to be practically
unanimous against the adoption OF any
general policy of opposition, but were
agreed On the advissblity Of treating
each nomination apon its merits. Opin-

scented to that good men appointed to
office because they were Democrats
should be confirmed, except in cases
where their predeces sors were removed
on unfounded charges brought for the
purpose of making pretexts for the cre-
alton Of vacancies. Iu such cases II was
urged that the nomination should be
held up to give the removed officials an

An Exninnatinn

Mr.. George 4 Harrison, the plumber
and engineer at the Hammam baths,
called at the HERALD office last night to
explain how the complaint came before
the City Council about a nuisance at the
Hammam baths. He states that man
wanted to put in a steam blower to blow
out the fiues of the boiler instead Of
cleaning them in the old fashioned way.
When it was placed in position he tried
it, and blew ont the ashes and SCOT in a
furious manner, and the wind blew them
all over The clothes that were drying in
the yard Of Mr.. Seisna, the laundryman.
II was this thoughtless act which caused
the complaint Of nuisance.
Since that time Mr.. Harrison has had
charge OF the engine and blows out the
hues in the night, or early in the morn
ing, when the clothes from the laundry
are not exposed. This arrangement Is
satisfactory to Mr.. Seisna and he has no
further complaint TO make about nui-
sance. so the question seems TO be settled
amicably.
