Senatorial Caucus.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December
1S.-The republican senatorial eau
Gus this morning decided senate
shall continue in session without
a holiday recess, until the tariff bill is
disposed of, letting house take a re-
cess if it desires. 1t was also decided
to hold two sessions daily, beginning
at II a. m. and p. m. This action
will probably be incorporated in a re-
solution to be introduced. There was
a large, but no complete attendance of
republican senators, and the action is
said to have been taken by consent.

Central Labor Union Meeting.

SOfIi al Ioooi OiiISii "SCIiIs'
CHICAGO, December 1S.-It's learn
ed that at a secret meeting of the
Central Labor Union Assembly, held
Sunday night. Albert Curtin deliver
ed an address on the Central organiza-
ton and Federation. He advocated
the federation plan he said had been
adopted by international union"
"In this SYSTEM" he said, "the labor
ers are organized in little groups,
from five to twenty members or more,
then there is not so much danger
from spies, little groups do
not arouse much suspicion,
and cannot be watched and controlled
easily by the police. In case of con-
fiict with capitalists the little, but
numerous groupes can act more sue
cessfully, and cause more damage to
the enemy without running so great a
risk of detection. The police have
prohibited our public meetings.; this
arouses indignation among working
men, and causes them to join our So
cieties more numerously. ut is now
the best time to spread our agitation
over the town. The spring election is
coming, and workingmen take more
interest at this time of the year than
usually. We can bring them much
easier together"
