A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Two Questions Considered by the
Senators

C6ndJOIS.
WASHINGTON. March 27.-The republican
senators held well-attended caucus to-day
prior to the meeting of the Senate Two
subjects were under consideration. One
was with reference to putting all clerks on
the annual list, payment to be made out of
the contingent fund. There was general
sentiment in favor of doing this. but the ques-
tion of its legality being raised, no conclusion
was reached. 1t is inferred from what was
said that the legal doubt will be sufficient
t. defeat the scheme, although that is not
absolutely certain. The other subject was
"Shall Senator Coke's speech on the south
ern election outrages be answered ~ The
conclusion, while not formally expressed,
was that there should be no further discus
sion of the subject at this session.
THE QUESTIONS DISPOSED OF.
After the adjournment of the Senate the
republican caucus resumed its sittings and
disposed of two questions under considera-
tion. 1t was decided that the employment
of clerks which would result in
an overdraft upon the contingent fund
was illegal, and, therefore, the scheme to
make all the committee clerks annual clerks
will fail. A resolution was adopted, how
ever, to give Senator Vance a personal clerk
He has lost one eye and the sight of
the other is failing, and his republican
colleagues deemed it only just that he should
be spared the necessity of using his remain
ing eve to conduct his official correspond
ence. 1t was also finally decided not to
continue the debate on the southern cleo
tion outrag9s. The general opinion so far
expressed was that the Senate might reas-
onably expect to be able to adjourn
Wednesday or Thu sday of next week.

tion of 10 per cant. is held back until the

penalties Action upon the application is
likely to be taken in a day or
two. The contractors have pleaded In ex-

REMOVAL OF A POSTMASTER.
President Harrison Establishes New
Precedent.


Precedent.
SCRANTON, PA, March 2.-Daniel w.
Connolly, who was appointed postmaster
of Scranton, in May. 1885, and commits
stoned by the President and then confirmed
by the Senate in January, 1886, and re-
commissioned for four years, has been re-
moved on charges of incompetency,
preferred by Congressman Scranton, to
President Harrison. The Postmaster Gen
eral, it seems, was not at all sanguine of
he congres, ,nan'S success in having the
postmaster removed. but said he would lay
the matter before the President at the cabi
net meeting, that this was the first case of
the kind that had been brought to the notice
of the administration and would be of wide
interest as a test case, and that he was
doubtful as to whether the President would
comply with Congressman Scranton's re-
quest. The President, however, sustained
the member from this district, fixing this
precedent. 1t is claimed here that charges
made by a member of congress over his sig
nature concerning an official in his district
are sufficient cause for removal.
