FISH TALK ON THE SLY
EVEN THE DEMOCRATS VOTE TO
CLOSE THE DOORS.

There Was Only One Majority Against
Doing the Work Under the Sunlight
of Public Scrutiny Evarts and
Edmunds Trying to Gain Support for
a Remarkable Doctrine.
WASHINGTON, April "a caucus of the
Democratic Senators was held this morning
to hear Senator Morgan upon the fishery
treaty. 1t was not very well attended.
Senator Morgan discussed for half an hour
the treaty in its political and economical
bearings and the action upon it of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. The question
of considering it in open session came up
and was decided adversely by one ma ajority.
The sentiment of the caucus, though not
formulated in a resolution, was favorable
to immediate consideration of the treaty
and the best exertions of the Democrats for
its ratification.
WHAT WILL BE MADE PUBLIC.
The treaty will be considered by the SEN
ate in executive session, but in all proba-
bility the official stenographer of the Senate
will be present and will report the proceed
ings in full. Then the Senate will publish
so much of the report as it thinks proper to
make public. The Republican Senators, ex-
cept Mr.. Riddleberger, are practically in
favor of this course, and so are the Demo
Gratis, although it is regarded on both sides
as compromise.
WISHES OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
The President and Secretary Bayard both
desire the immediate consideration of the
treaty in open session. Their wishes had
great weight with the Senate Democrats
They induced the determination to insist
but the Democratic Senators are still so
bound by tradition that majority of the
caucus would not agree to consideration in
open session. Possibly new caucus would
have been called which might have de
termined to insist upon open sessions, but
for the fact that when the Senate met Mr.
Hoar presented the Republican proposition
in the compromise described above
Mr.. Edmunds is writing the adverse ma
jority report of the Committee on Foreign
Relations on the treaty, and Mr. Morgan is
writingat the favorable minority report. The
Republicans will solidly support the former
and the Democrats will solidly support the
latter.
A REMARKABLE DOCTRINE.
Messrs. Edmunds and Evarts are trying
to commit the Republicans to a declaration
that the President had no right to appoint
President Angel and William L. Putnam
as negotiators of the treaty without the ad-
vice and consent of the Senate They con-
tend that the President can only negotiate
treaties through agents confirmed by the
Senate, and that if the Senate is not in
session he can only negotiate treaty
through the Secretary of State or some
other officer of the government, but they
have not been able as yet to get their col
leagues to agree with them to this remark
able doctrine. The consideration of the
fisheries treaty will probably begin next
week

PUsTULEs ON HIS NECK.

Emperor Frederick Evidently Grow
ing Worse His Feet Swelling.
BERLIN, April 19.-The Emperor felt
more tired than usual last evening and re-
tired to rest before o'clock. 1t is believed
that the growths hitherto confined to the
larynx have extended into the trachea.
This morning the Emperor's respiration
was much faster and his fever had consider
ably increased. The Emperor passed fair
night under the circumstances According
TO trustworthy information the grayest
fears are entertained of speedy fatal end
ing of the Emperor's disease 1t appears
from his present condition that death will
ensue within week.
IN BED ALL DAY.
The Emperor did not leave his bed to-day
and the accounts current of his sutferings
are distressing. He said to Chaplain Egel
You pray for my preservation; rather
pray for my release" He perseveres in
transacting business and does not cease
writing. The Empress Is often summoned
to declpher almost illegible characters and
save him from the annoyance of rewriting
them. As a result Of the family negotia-
tions, jointure of l2 900, 900 marks is Sc
cured to the Empress, and Prince Henry
inneritS 100000 marks upon the Emper-
or's death.
FELT BETTER.
This morning Emperor Frederick wrote
on a slip of paper that he felt much better
He ate fairly good breakfast and wanted
to get up, but the doctor would not let
him. The fact that the doctors can
not find evidence of disease of the
are not affected The results OF
the operation of tracheotomy render it diff
ticult to discover symptoms of lung disease.
The intermitting fever and quick respira-
ton are symptoms strongly in favor of Dr.
Mackenzie's belief that the Emperor is suf-
fering from blood poisoning. There
is large crowd continuously
watching the castle. By special wish of the
Emperor the public were permitted to come
to:the iron railing of the first court yards,
where this afternoon, for the first
time, official bulletins we're fixed. The
doctors on leaving the palace were
eagerly piled with questions. Empress Au-
gusta arrived at the palace at midday and
remained at the Emperor's bedside for half
an hour. The other members of the family
visited him toward evening, when he felt
fairly comfortable, and read and worked and
slept little.
The doctors held consultation at 9:30
o'clock tonight, and agreed that the EN-
peror was better. The discharge which oc-
CURED this afternoon gave him much relief.
The patients breathing is free and almost
normal. 1t tends, however, to prove that DR..
Mackenzie's diagnosis of an abscess in the
trachea was correct. The progress of the
pyaemia, the symptoms of which are very
slight, shows no signs of increasing.
ALARMING DEVELOPMENTS.
LONDON, April 90, 3 A. M-The Chron-
icte's Berlin correspondent says: There
were rumors at midnight that the EN-.
peror's feet were swelling, that pustules had
begun to appear on his neck and that there
was much discharge from his throat"

came treasurer of a fund.
Mr.. Dillon, In speech at Letterkenny,
referred to the language of the Judge In
sentencing Blame, and said there had not
been such a display of ruff1anism on the
Irish bench since the days Of Norbury. The
Judges speech was such as might have been
delivered before an Orange lodge. Such
things could not last. The insults to Blame
were insults TO his electors. He (Mr. Dillon

WASHINGTON, April 19.--Secretary Fair

the terms of the circular Of April II will
be the same as last year, except that the
names Of those offering bonds will be sup

many bond holders do not care to have the
fact of their willingness to part with their

be used against business man, and he had
therefore decided to treat the names in each
