DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
The Minority Will Ask for Proper Time to
Consider the Proposed Rules.

The Minority Will Ask for Proper Time to
Consider the Proposed Rules.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-There was scarcely
time for the employees to throw open the
doors and secure a change of air In the hall
of the House tonight after the Republican
caucus adjourned before the Democratic
members began to file in to attend their
caucus. They appeared in good number,
and were presided over by Mr.. Holman.
The only subject discussed was the new
code of rules. The Democrats were at q
disadvantage in that the members were
not supplied with copies, as were the indi-
vidual Republicans to-day. So Mr.. Carlisle
was obliged TO read and explain the
rules from his private copy. Nat
urally, this was slow work, and
most Of the session of the caucus was
consumed in this way. There was little
discussion. Now and then some member
would boil over with Indignation and ex-
press himself forcibly as some particularly
obnoxious rule was read and its effect
pointed ont. Mr.. Springer thought the
rules meant that the watchmen were
gagged, the watch-dOgs chained and the
treasury thrown open to plumber; but the
general sentiment was that no matter how
obnoxious the rules are, they were asked
"OoAa NO VIII
sidered in q fair spirit. Mr.. Carlisle was
accordingly instructed to negotiate with
the majority managers for a proper and
reasonable time to consider the rules in
case they should be reported to-mor-
row, inasmuch as the Democratic members
are without copies. The Republicans will
also be requested to allow q debate of rea-
sonable length upon them when they are
called up for consideration. and if these
concessions are granted. the Democrats
will interpose no unusual obstacles to
action upon them.
A feature of the evenings proceedings
that would have been amusing if it had
not resulted in positive inconvenience was
the attitude of certain Capitol policemen,
who. acting under the orders of a stupid
superior, refused entrance to the building
to the reporters for the press, a privilege
never before denied. Moreover, they per-
sisted in this course in spite of the fact
that the chairman of the Democratic caucus
(Mr. HOlman) had courteously given orders
for their admission.

A QUEER BREACH OF PROMISE.
Capt. Bisbee, Of international Fame, Sued by
Miss Locke, New Hampshire Lass.

PROVIDENCE, r.. l., Feb. 5.-There is an
interesting breach-of-promise suit on the
docket of the Supreme Court of this city.
The defendant is Capt. Arlius M. Bisbee,
Chinese commissioner to the international
Marine Conference at Washington. which
closed recently. The plaintiff is a fine-look-
ing New Hampshire damsel named Mary I.
Locke. whose home at East harrington is in
a great state of excitement overthe alleged
unfaithfulness of the defendant in the case.
1t seems. according to Miss Locke's story,
that Bisbee was an old lover of hers beforehe
became interested in international matters.
Several years ago they were betrothed.
Then Bisbee went to China under contract
to look after Chinese ports, and when he
eturned he had apparently forgotten all
about his old sweetheart. He married
another young lady, and Miss Locke did
not know anything about it. For some
time after his marriage, he and his wife
occupied apartments at the N~arragansett
Hotel. and two children were born to them.
Soon there were signs of trouble, and about
ayear ago Captain Bisbee entered suit for
divorce on the ground of cruelty. He
alleged that Mrs. Bisbee pulled his whIs-
kers and beat him with n poker. The case
has not come to trial, but Captain Bisbee
retained his residence in this State while
engaged In international affairs in interest
of the Chinese government.
Miss Locke heard of him in Washington,
and also learned of his residence in Rhode
Island, and, through her lawyer. instituted
proceedings for breach of promise. asking
damages to the extent of 10000 A
writ was issued for the arrest of
Commissioner Bisbee whenever he
should return here. For more than
five months the Captains presence in
Rhode Island has been patiently awaited
by Sheriff McCabe. and voluminous CORE
spondence has been made with the WASH
ington officials who knew of the move
ments of the Chinese representative. To-
day, when he appeared here, he had just
stepped his foot into the hotel corridor
when he was taken in charge by the sher-
iii. He was greatly surprised. and much
more so when he heard the affidavit OF his
once fair charmer read aloud to him.
Miss Locke. it is stated, has u lot of low
letters from the Captain. which were adj
dressed TO her New Hampshire home from
various parts of the United States and also
from China. These letters. it is said. will
go q long way toward making the Captain
amenable TO the law of this State, and
touch the sympathy offs Rhode Island jury.
The Captain is a man of fifty-ive, medium
height, and of splendid address. He wears
q full irop-gray beard, and his face is of q
swarthy hue. gained by long residence in
China. During his residence here he has
made many friends. and has always been a
great ~favorite in high society circles in

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-There was little to
