Caucus of Republican Senators.


THE TWO SUBJECTS WHICH WERE UNDER CoNsID-
GRAFTON YESTERDAY.
Republican senators, in caucus yesterday
afternoon argued for long time over two
questions in which the public is not overmuch
interested.
One was: Shall the president pro tempore of
the Senate, while the Vice-President lives be
elected at each daily session of the Senate, or
is one election sufficient to make his title good
throughout an entire Congress? On this ques-
ton there was considerable disagreement and
no definite conclusion was arrived at.
The other question under discussion was the
debate ON the Hoar southern-outrage resolu-
ton. Several senators thought that Mr.. Coke's
speech ought to be answered now, and they ex-
pressed themselves as not only ready but
anxious to do it. The caucus, however, came
to no decision on the matter and it may be that
another caucus will take the subjects up on
Monday and decide them.

Wants $50, 900 for False Arrest.

v
THE SUIT OF WIN. L. ROSE AGAINST MEMBERS OF A
FIRM OF JEwELERs.
An interesting case was placed on trial before
Judge Montgomery this morning-that of VIM.
L. Rose against Geo. w. Harris and Edwin Har-
ris, for s20, 900 damages for having been ar
rested at the instance of defendants ON the 2lst
of April, 1888, and taken to the first precinct
station house. Mr.. ]. J. johnson appeared for
the complainant and Mr.. r. r. Perry for the
defendants. The jewelry establishments had
been, about the time mentioned, mo-
tilted that a diamond thief was supposed
to be in the city, and they were warned to
keep a lookout for him. 1t is alleged that the
Harrises saw Rose pass and caused his arrest at
Steinem's, 1882 Pennsylvania avenue, where he
was on business, and that when Mr.. Steinem
endorsed him (Rose) he was released and his
name was erased from the blotter. Rose also
alleges that he asked letter from the Har-
rises which they failed to give. 1t was testified
by the officers that the Harrises pointed Rose
out saying that he had been acting sus-
piciously when the detectives previously ar
rested party supposed to be diamond thief.
The defendants called Detective Raft, who
testified that they were informed Of a diamond
robbery in Baltimore and that the thief was
supposed to be in this city; that he notified a
number of jewellers to look out for the party,
the firm Of Harris 4 Shaffer among them, and
asked if such party came in to notify head
quarters. Detective Horne testified to having
arrested a supposed pennyweight thief on
call from Harris & Shaffer a short time before
and saw Rose in front of the store at ths lime.
Edwin Harris testified to one of his clerks
waiting on a customer whom he suspected, and
that Detective Horne went of with him. A
short time afterward he saw the plaintiff and
suspected that he might be connected with the
other man, and he teiephoned for an oficer
when he saw the party go in the pawn shop.
Whan Oficer Hollinpber0er resnonded he fofd
him what he had DONE and asked the officer to
20 over and see who the party was. He and
his son acted in the matter under the request
from police headquarters. On the Friday
week before the issuance of the writ, July,
1888, the complainant came in and asked for
o letter Of exoneration. Witness told him that
il would be difficult to write letter explaining
the matter, but said that he would see Mr..
Perry. Witness said that he had not proposed
TO compromise the case.
