DEMOCRATS IN CAUCUS.
The Duration of the Tariff Debate
Under Consideration.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The Democratic
members of the House met in caucus to-
night to consider the length of time during
which the debate on the tariff bill shall con-
tinue. The caucus was well attended, 10
members being present, including Messrs.
Carlilse and Randall. The proceedings
were confined to expressions of opinion as
to the length of time to be allowed
for tariff debate. There appeared to be
a feeling in some quarters that it
would be unwise to adopt any cast iron
rule which might deprive the more inn
portant committees-sucha as the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors-of the privilege of
taking advantage of any intervals in the
tariff debate TO press their favorite meas
ures to the point of action.
NO SPIRIT OF CONTROVERSY.
There was, however, no spirit of contro-
versy developed, and a very moderate tone
characterized all the speeches on the sub
lect. 1t was generally admitted that the
Republican minority should be afforded the
fullest and freest opportunity to discuss and
amend the pending bill, and the caucus
closed by adopting the following resolutio
RESOLVED. That the Democratic members of
the Ways and Means Committee be requested
to confer with their associates on the commit
tee and endeavor to reach an agreement as to
the time during which the debate on the tariff
bill shall continue.
1t is the understanding that another eau
Gus will be held after the Democrats Of the
Ways and Means Committee shall have as
certained the feeling of their Republican
associates in the matter, at which the def
mite order of business will be arranged

The First Three Matters that Came
Up for Consideration.
WASHINGTON, April 1s.-In the Senate
to-day among the petitions presented and
referred was one by Mr.. Brown and signed

MEN FOR CHIEF JUSTICE.
Minister Phelps and Mr.. Fuller Seem
to Have the Call.


WASHINGTON, April 1S.--The President
has not determined yet who he will appoint
Chief Justice. During the past few days
he has talked good deal about Minister
Phelps in this connection. Mr. Edmunds
brought Mr.. Phelps before the Presidents
mind the other day by saying that he hoped
the President would see his way clear to
appoint Mr.. Phelps Chief Justice. Mr..
Edmunds intimated that there would be no
doubt about the confirmation of his old law
preceptor. Since this the President has
spoken Of Mr. Phelps to several Democratic
Senators, who called to advise the appoint
ment of Senator Gray. The President said
to them that he thought Mr.
Gray was needed in the Senate,
where he has already taken a high place,
and place which raw man could not
possibly fill incidentally the President has
said that Mr. Phelps was under considera-
tion. From these remarks the Senators in
question have inferred that Mr.. Phelps is
to be appointed, but while this is possible,
and even probable, it will not become a
certainty until at least the President has
had some conversation with Mr.. Phelps
Mr.. Phelps will arrive here tomorrow to
be the guest of Secretary Bayard during
his stay here. Meanwhile, it is understood,
that the President is still looking westward
for a Chief Justice, and that Melville w.
Fuller, of Chicago, is still a probable ap-
pOintee

IRELAND'S STRUGGLE.
Speeches by Chamberlain and Hart
ington on the Outcome.

lllB LOA Oil bl4O PobCOAAC'
LONDON, April 1S--Joseph Chamberlain
spoke tonight at conversations Of the
Birmingham Radical Union. He ridiculed
the notion of the Gladstonians that his
sojourn in America had rarity converted
him to their policy On the contrary, he
had found very few persons indeed in
America who approved Gladstone's policy.
II the American democracy had to deal
with the Irish question they would make
short work of the monstrouS pretentions OF
the national league, and they would not allow
the sacred name of liberty to be prostituted
to the purposes of anarchy and crime. The
Americans allowed no sentimental consider
ations whatever to stand in the way of the
laws made by the ma joritY of the country
Never, in his opinion, had the position of
the DnionlstS been stronger than now. For
the first time since the passing of the crimes
act he would be willing, without the slight
est hesitation, to appeal to the country with
certainty that they would go back with n
majority as great or greater than they now
possess

the arguments against Mr. GladstoneS
policy, said he was unable to predict the re-
suit of the Irish struggle but he was conf
dent that the problem would not be solved
by the compromise of 1886 Ireland could
not be dealt with as a colony. The
decision rested with the Democracy.
If they were weak and weary of the
struggle, Ireland might obtain independ-
ence. If they were strong and had the
spirit of their kinsmen across the Atlantic,
they would not permit Ireland to be separ-
ated
