nal for consideration of Senate bill No. 139 to
provide for the refundng of the direct tax
levied in 1861, in which order reasonable time,
not to exceed three days, viz: Thursday, Sat
urday and Tuesday shall be allowed for debate
and amendment. and the time for the vote on
its final passage shall be fixed at 4 o'clock Tues
day.
Mr.. Cox, on calling the caucus to order,
made short speech in which he appealed
TO his Democratic colleagues to present
united front and sacrifice their individual
feelings for the sake of party harmony,
which sentiment was vociferously applaud
ed. The caucus adjourned at II 20 o'clock.
NO REPUBLICAN OBSTRUCTION EXPECTED.
There has been, of course, no conference
among the Republicans as to the course
they will adopt in view of the decision of
the caucus. 1t is not believed, however,
that they will resort to any unusual tactics
to prevent the Democrats from carrying
out the caucus decision.
Representative Cannon, of Illinois, who
is chairman of the Republican Caucus Com
mlttee, said tonight that while he did not
feel warranted in speaking for his colleagues,
he, personally, thought the Republicans
would not resortto revolutionary proceed
lngs to prevent an adjournment tomorrow.
Such course would be utterly at variance
with Republican policy in the past The
Democratic party was in the majority, and
he was willing to go before the country on
the question whether the methods of the
past week SHOULD be approved or not. If
the country was willing to be dominated by
a small determined faction from the South,
well and good 1t Is the general under
standing that the Democratic members will
abide by the decision of the caucus.

DAKOTA'S ADMISSION.
MIR. Springer Said to Have Sent Out a
Political Ukase.

MIR. Springer Said to Have Sent Out q
Political Ukase.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Senate this
afternoon resumed consideration Of the bill
to provide the admission of the State of
Dakota and for the organization of the
Territory of North Dakota and was ad-
dressed by Mr.. Davis, after suggestion by
Mr.. Platt (who had charge of it, that he
hoped to have it disposed of tomorrow.
Mr.. Davis devoted a considerable portion Of
his remarks to replying to the speech Of
Mr. Butler of Yesterday The Senator from
the opinion, he said that the admission of
State was purely within the discretion of
Congress. He (Mr. Davis denied that
proposition. He denied it from the light Of
tho law, and had denied it. III all its length
and breadth, from the light of history
DAKoTAs ATTITUDE.
AS to the claim of the Senator from South
Carolina that there was great opposition in
Dakota to the bill, he Mr. Davis asked
why. if that were the case no petitions of
dissent had come to the Senate from Dakota
He sent up to the clerks desk and had read
the resolutions of the Democratic Conven-
ton in Dakota in favor of division of the
Territory and of the admission of the south
ern half as a State. As TO the pro
ceedings of the Aberdeen Convention in
December 1887, which Mr.. Butler had re-
ferred to as proof of the opposition
to the division of the Territory, he read ex-
tracts of letter from Mr.. Springer, chair
man of the House Committee on Terrific
ries, which bespoke Of as "a pronuncia-
mento" and ''ukase, stating that those who
were waiting for division Of the Territory
might well postpone realization of their
hopes until more convenient season."
which Mr.. Davis supposed might
refer to some time after the next
Presidential election. Was it any wonder,
he asked, that with such letter as that
read to the Aberdeen convention the people
who had met there had abandoned hope Of
division and had made up their minds to
take what they could getl
Mr. Turpie obtained the floor, and the bill
was laid aside till 10 morrow.
