THE CAUCUS A FAILURE.
The Democrats Cannot Agree as to the
Admission of New states.

The democratic caucus last night was fall
ure. The territories question was discussed
for three hours. There were as many factions
as there could be sides to the question, and no
conclusion was reached. They adjourned
until Thursday night, but there is no reason
to expect that they can be any more
successful then. Mr.. Cox, Mr. Bland, and q
not very large minority, favored policy Of
broad iberality toward the territories. Mr..
Oates, Mr.. Springer and others wanted no
territories at all admitted, while Mr.
Holman and his followers wanted to
admit Dakota as q whole only. It ap-
pears now that the only way anything in
the interest Of the territories can be done this
session is by individuals acting without any
party caucus instructions. Those like Mr..
Cox and Mr.. Bland, who want the party to
adopt q liberal policy, will probably
join the republicans in an attempt to
to secure the admission of South Dakota. Mon
tana and Washington, but in the absence OF
any caucus agreement it will be very difficult
to get the subject before the House. Once put
to a vote there is no room to doubt that these
bills would pass. The difficulty will be to get
a vote
