largest elephant now in captivity, on
Monday afternoon had terrific encoun-
ter with the Nubian lion Prince, at the
winter quarters of Forepaugh's MENACE

MR.. L0GANS OLD PLACE.
HE RESUMES HIS FORMER POSITION
ON MILITARY AFFAIRS.
sherman Resigns the Caucus Chairman
ship in Favor of Standardization
tiaI Appointees Confirmed Unless
they Show bad Records.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL. - Republican
Senators met in caucus at II o'clock to-
day and continued in session until 2
o'clock. Senator Sherman resigned his
position as chairman of the caucus and Ed
munds was unanimously elected to that
place. This action was due to the fact
that no Senator has ever been chairman of
the caucus and presiding officer of the
Senate at the same time and Senator
Sherman felt it incumbent upon him not
to depart from the line of precedent
The action of the caucus committee in the
arrangement of chairmanships of the Sen
ate committees, named for Senator Sew
ell, that of the joint committee on the IL
brary, and Senator Logan was given his
old place on military affairs. Nearly all
the time was devoted to discussion of the
line of policy to be adopted towards the
presidential appointments. No formal &C
ton was taken and none was proposed.
The Senators expressed their views freely
and were found to be nearly unanimous
against any general policy of opposition,
hut in favor of treating each nomination
on It's merits. The cacus adjourned with
out day and Senators who were present
express their opinion that no adverse gen
eral policy is likely to be adopted at
present. Unless bad character or often
sive craftsmanship is shown where Republi-
cans were discharged during their term of
office, the new nominations are not likely
to be rejected; and, offensive partisanship
being shown, the incunibents must not be
offensive partisans. Pillsbury of Boston
will most likely be rejected. Some par
tisan Senators advocate the discussing of
nominations openly, but probably this
will not be done as 1t will be considered rs
lowering senatorial dignity.

A LONDON HOLOCAUST.
FOURTEEN PERSONS SACRIFICED
ALIVE IN DEVOURlNG FLAMES.
One More Tenement House Calamity
Frantic victims Ignore the Fires Es-
capes in Theft writhing Agony
Dashed to Death.

LONDON, Dec. 13.-At Plymouth to-day
a tenement house on Love street in a low
and squalid neighborhood took fire and
terrible calamity resulted. The flames
burned fiercely and when at last subdued
twelve bodies were found in the ruins
Two others are missing, and in all proba-
bility they too were burned. One unfor-
tunate victim was dashed to pieces by
jumping from a window to the street.
Several occupants, in their fright ignored
the fire escapes and throwing bedding to
the pavement, forty feet below, jumped
from the windows. A number Of these
had legs and arms broken by the fearful
leap. A narrowing incident of the calamity
was the appearance of youth who
with his little sister in his arms
hung suspended from the window some
minutes, until the flames surrounded
him and caused him to loose his hold and
fall to the ground. He had both legs
fractured. The child was also severely
injured. The fireman entered the build
ing which was roaring like a furnace, and
by heroic struggles succeeded in rescuing
several persons.

A MORMON sOUELCHER.
A New Bill Proposed by the Vermont
Senator.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Senator Ed
munds has proposed a bill for the further
suppression of Mormonsm which pro.
poses that the act of the legislature of the
State of Deseret, under which the "Church
of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints
was incorporated, shall be repealed and
annulled, and that the temporal affairs of
the church shall be managed by board OF
trustees to be appointed by the President
of the United States, with the consent OF
the Senate, and shall close up the in
stitution as rapidly as possible un
der the direction of the Secretary
of the Interior. The Acknowledgement is
directed to institute and prosecute pro
ceedings to forfeit and escheat to the
United States all of the property owned
by the Mormon church with the exception
of buildings used for public worship, anG
the Secretary of the Interior is directed tc
sell it and invest the proceeds for the bene
fit of public schools. The laws organizing
and creating perpetual emigrant funt
are also annulled, and the Attorney Gen
eral is directed to dissolve the corporation
to pay its debts, to dispose o.
the property and devote the proceeds
to the benefit of the schools. The legis
lature is forbidden to create any com
pany or association for the purpose o.
bringing migrants into the territory. Tn,
bill If passed will do more to suppress
Mormonism, it is claimed than any othe
means that can be adopted, as the churcl
is known to be a very wealthy corpora
ton, and money causes very close adhe
sion among the saints.
Bishop H. r. Faust of Salt Lake City
one of the leading lights in the Mormon
church said, Il think the concentration o
troops at Fort Douglass and Salt LAX,
City is an outrage. We have been too meel
and have been trampled under foot by tn,
United States authorities. Many intluen
tial MOrmons have been ruined and driver
from Utah on perjured testimony intro
duced in the United States court. Many
of the Mormons are not polygamsts
The United States marshals are respon
sible for all the trouble They hound tn
Mormons, arrest them on trivial charges
and either kill them or send them to tn
penitentiary. / know of many cases il
Utah where Mormons have been sho
down by United States marshals withou
cause. These cold-blooded crimes hay,
aroused the MormOns, and they are di.
posed TO strike back when attacked. They
ought to have asserted themselves lon,
ago, and think the government ought t,
appoint a committee to investigate mat
tiers out there"
