WHITE METAL WINS,
Republicans Finally Agree
Upon a Basis for a Sill
YER Bill.
Treasury Notes to Be Issued
in Payment for Silver
Bullion.
President Harrison Has the
Bill Giving Oklahoma Ter
ritorial Government.
Representatives Rail Against
the Entertainments of
the Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-The caucus
of the Republican members of the house
tonight was more harmonious than any
of those that have taken place recently.
Mr.. Henderson. of Illinois, presided.
The silver question was brought up by
Mr.. COnger, of Iowa, who stated
that the subcommittee of the
caucus committees Of the senate
and house had come to az agree
ment which had been approved by the
caucus committee of the house. The
caucus committee, he said, had pre-
pared bill which covered all the
amendments agreed to. The bill pro-
vlded for the purchase of 100000
ounces OF silver bullion per month. and
that the bullion certificates should be
redeemable in lawful money of the
United States by the secretary of the
treasury, but no greater or lesser
amount of notes shall be outstanding at
any time than the cost of the silver
bullion in the treasury; provided that
the secretary may at his discretion eX-
change for such silver bullion notes an
amount of bullion which shall be equal
in value at market price on the day of the
exchange of the notes. The bill allows
the secretary to purchase both foreign
and domestic bullion. 1t also repeats
provisions of the present law which re-
quires the coinage of not less than
100000 each month. Section 523-R.
S., and section 4. of the national bauk
ing law, In relation to money now held
in the treasury, are incorporated in the
bill. Alter discussion of an hour or
so the caucus committee bill was agreed
to, with only six dissenting votes. The
matter of pensions was also taken up,
and after short discussion the caucus
Endorsed the Morrill, service pen
sion bill. This bill grants pension of
IS per month to soldiers who served
ninety days in the war of the Rebellion
and who have reached the age of sixty
two years. The question of passing
some national election law was brought
forward. and Mr.. Lodge, of Massachu-
sets, urged the adoption by the caucus
of his bill. placing the election of repre-
sentativeS in congress under national
control. Mr.. Lodge was followed by
Mr.. Rowell, Of Illinois, the chairman OF
the elections committee, who argued in
favor of the improvement OF the super
visor system as means of correcting
election evils. After further discussion,
and without coming to any conclusion
on the subject, the caucus adjourned
until next Tuesday night.

JEALOUS OF TIRE SENATE. .

Representatives Vent Their
Spleen on the Upper Crust.
WASHINGTON. April 23.-The house
occupied the day in discussing the leg
islative, executive and judicial appro-
priati0n bill, the pending question being
on the motion to strike out the clause
providing clerks for senators. A long
discussion ensued as to the relative
rights and privileges of the two houses
of congress, without reference to the
pending bill. Mr.. Butterworth said
that nine out of every ten representa-
tives favored clerks for members of
both houses, but were afraid to vote for
it, when the yea and nay vote was
called. Mr.. Butterworth said if he had
a clerk he would be worth SO, 900 a
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, said
was usurping the power of the house,
was becoming the moulder of public
opinion. The senate discussed public
matters in public before the nation, and
so long as it continued to do this and
the house continued to conduct it's
business without proper debate, the SEN
ate would become the true representa-
tive of the people. The house, he said,
was abdicatlng its power day by day.
After further discussion, the motion to
strike out was lost-S5 to 81. Mr.. Kelley,
of Kansas, started a general debate as
to persecution of Republican posumas-
tiers and outrages in the South. This
continued until o'clock, when the
house adjourned.

BAYOU SARA, La, April 23.-Seven
creVasses are reported to-day between
this place and Waterloo. This makes
nine on the Pointe Coupee front. The
devastation in that and the southwest
ern parish will be terrible. The Stella
Wilde, arriving from above this morn
ing, brought in a large lot of people and
stock from the other side. She had
to run up Bayou Sara and land them at
lower ST. FranciSville. The rains con-
tinue, and last night it poured down in
torrents, causing freshetin the bayou,
and a rise of five inches in the
town, This extra rise on top of what
we already had causes additional losses,
Our merchants had large amount of
goods damaged. The effect of the Gre
vases caused a decline here to-day OF
twelve inches, which affords great re-
lief, and leaves some of the stores on
Front street free Of water. A freshet in
Alexandria creek last night washed
away the trestle, and now we are with
out mail communication. Two breaks
are reported on Old river, one of which
is on Coyle's place. The Dacotah passed
up this evening. The Parg0ud left this
morning for Nor gansea. At this writ
ing another rain has set in.

one of them ever knew Mr.. Anderson
to drink OF get drunk. As for abusing
his wife, that is the very last thing he
would think Of. About six weeks ago
she left him. When he first came to
live with US, he and his wife were
separated, but they came together
in very short time, and they were APP
parently happy when the last separation
occurred. What the cause of it was no
ore knows, but you can rest assured it
was not through any abuse of Joe's."
Buchan Surrenders.
Shortly before o'clock this morning
George r. Buchan, accompanied by At
torney Ben Davenport, of the law firm
of Davenport & Than, walked uncon-
cernedly into police headquarters to
surrender himself, but Capt. Helm had
stepped out for few moments. and
there was no officer there. Buchan and
his attorney started for the lookup, but
on the way over met the captain, who
accompanied them to the station.
"Needham, this is our man." exclaimed
the captain as the party halted in front
OF the railing. No one would have rec
ognlZed in the Well-dreSsed young
fellow the description sent out by
the police. and the jailer at first
thought the officer was joking. The
prisoner was searched, but the only
weapon found on him was a small
pocket knife. By the advice of his
counsel he refused TO talk to the news
paper men. Mr.. Davenport. however,
made the following statement: 1--WE
have surrendered. and our defense will
be Seif-defenSe. Anderson commenced
the assault, and the shooting by
Buchan was done to save his own. life.
Several days ago Anderson threatened
to kill Buchan on sight, and when The
men met last night Buchan had every
reason to believe the threat was about
to be carried into execution. Anderson
fired five shots from his revolver,
and Buchan fired three. two of
which took effect. | claim that
Buchan was perfectly justified in doing
what he did, and no jury i'll the world

New ORLEANS, April 2s.--Several
dispatches have passed between Gen.
Comstock and Capt. Kingman, who is at
Bayou Sera, among them one notifying
Kingman that $4,000 additional has
been allotted by the Mississippi river
commission. This allotment enabled
the government engineer to send
a boat load of material to the
lower coast to be used in
closing crevasses on the east bank
of the river between St. Sophie and
Pointe-a-la-Roche. Supt. Spellman. of
the Shell Beach railroad, says there are
to-day eleven breaks from ID to 80 feet
wide and from to feet deep along
that beach, and that all can be closed by
prompt action. The crevasSe on Con-
gresham WilkinSOn's Myrtle grove
plantation, thirty-tiye miles below this
city on the right bank, is now 700 feet
wide and feet deep. No effort will be
made to close it until9thG river declines.
The northwest wind which blew strong
again last night drove i'll the gulf water
and again overlooked the Louisville d
Nashville road, this time near Michoo
station, fourteen miles from this city,
and all the trains have been abandoned.
Capt. John Kilkenny, general passen-
ger agedt of the road, said that only a
small portion of the track WIS over
flowed, and very likely the trains could
pass over it all right, but it was deemed
ineXpedient to take any risks, as a
change i'll the course of the wind will
probably cause the water to recede
again in a dav or so. The wind last
night again caused the lake water to
encrOach upon the rear of the city, north
of ClaibOurne street, and some trouble
is experienced by water from the canal
flowing over the banks Of the old basin
on both sides between johnson and
Calves streets, but not sufficient to do
any great damage. The rear Of the
Seventh ward up to Roman street, from
ElySian fields to st. Bernard street, and
the entire rear of the Eighth ward are
flooded, and the water is rapidly rising.
The Texas 81 Pacific railroad officers
in this city received a dispatch
this afternoon from Capt John A.
Grant, reporting a break in the levee on
the right bank Of the Mississippi, twelve
miles above Port Allen. This will stop
traffic to the bayou Grasse Tete settle
ment and flood the country between
Melville and West Baton Rouge in

mated passenger and freight arrange
ments with the Southern Pacific and
