SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
The Republicans Will Meet and Agree
Upon Future Program.

upon Future Program.
WASHINGTON. Jan. "A caucus of
Republican senators will be held next
Monday, perhaps at the residence of
one of the senators, and, perhaps at the
senate chamber. The meeting place has
not been agreed upon, The object of
the caucus is to agree upon a program
for the week and to consider one or two
proposed amendments to the new rule
now pending. The new rule if agreed to
in its present form. will cut off the vote
on almost all amendments after the pre-
vious question has been ordered. I'm
der'it, it will be possible to take only
four votes on amendments.
A number Of amen tments have been
prepared to be reported from the cleo
tions committee and in order to insure
a vote ON them an amendment to the
rule will probably be offered providing
that after the previous question has
been ordered a vote may be taken on
amendments reported from standing
committees. Senator Aldrich says that
he will be willing TO vote for such an
amendment and for an amendment pro-
viding for a vote on a reasonable "
number of amendments offered by in
diyiduals.
1t was a subject of current comment
on the floor of the senate Wednesday af-
ternoon that Vice President Morton
was considering the possibility of pre-
siding when the debate is closed on the
proposed new rule. The vice president
has said that he is unwilling to do any
thing that would seem partisan unless
it is absolutely necessary, but that he
does not see how he can absent himself
from the chamber at this time without
incurIing still more bitter criticism.

right handily. He said:
Il am authorized to go before the

over the news of his death than the

broke down the barrier which prevent
ed their performing clerical work for
the government. This occurred during
the war when the regular clerks were
disappearing to enlist In the army, and
it looked as if there was not going to be
men enough to go around, Then it was
that the chivalric Gen. Spinner sug-
gested to President Lincoln that an OPP
portunity be given women to take the
mems places where possible. 1t is as
tonishing when we look at it to think of
the opposition this idea met with. But
Spinner gained his point, and the entree
of women into the government service
may be looked upon as a war measure :"
just as Ben. Buffers suggestion to
make the "darlies contraband.
Gen. Spinner was born in New York

Gen. Spinner retired to private life
July 1, 1876. When he did so all the
wealth in the United States treasury

that deficiency was discovered
amounting to one cent. To account for
this memorable recounting took place,
requiring days upon days, until the
missing cent was found and the general

BERLIN, Jan 2.-The Tageblatt of
this city publishes "a letter from a corre-
spondent in Zanzibar, dated Dec. 5. The
letter states that l1Inin Pasha recently
sent Lieutenants Ianghad and Buelow
at the head of a body of troops to
Urambo, where they fought battle
with the Watula tribe, defeating the
latter with severe loss.
The Watula tribe subsequently joined
forces with the Waniamwesi tribe, and
again attacked the German troops. An
other severe engagement followed, with
the result that the Watulas were again
defeated This second defeat was part
ly due te the fact that the Watulas were
deserted soon after the engagement by
the Waniamwesi. The German forces
lost three killed and had nine men
wounded. Lieut.. Sigel, Of the German
force, was wounded in the head. The
Watulas escaped with difficulty.

PREMATURE EXPLOSION.
Four Men Instantly Killed and -Four
Others Seriously Injured.

ObHeFh SeTlOuSIy tnJuFcus
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Jan. "A special
dispatch to The Herald from Leroy,
N. Y, says: The most horrible accident
that ever happened in this vicinity oc-
CURED near the village of Stafford, four
miles west of here Wednesday after
noon. Andrew Hunt and three Hun
garian laborers were instantly killed.
-Four others received injuries which it
is believed will result fatally. Daniel
Sullivan, the foreman, had his fingers
blown from one hand, his face filled
with powder, and his eyesight probably
ruined, and he is otherwise terribly in
injured.
The accident happened on the Lehigh
extension where tine men were engaged
in blasting the frozen earth. A blast
had been fired and another one had
been placed near the place where the
other one had been. The men
were placing the charge when suddenly
there was terrible explosion, which
tore up the rocks and earth and hurled
death dealing missiles through the air
1t is thought that some of the fire from
the first explosion remained in the
ground and ignited the powder placed
for the second one. 1t is thought that
three of the injured men will die.

Chamberlain's View of the Trouble.

BIRMINGHAM Jan. 2--Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain in a speech Wednesday
night, said that after the disasters of
the Unionist detection and the Parnell
disgrace, it was to be hoped that the
Liberals would admit their mistake and
again march shoulder to shoulder in
the ancient wars of Liberalism. The
Liberals now knew that Parnell had
fooled Gladstone to tie top of his bent.
A compromise was possible at Boulogne
if Healy would fall on Parnells neck
and weep, and O'Brien black Parnell s
shoes.
