The Struggle May be Carried Into the
Council Chamber Tonight.

Alderman Miller furnished the meeting
room for the Republican members Of the
City Council last evening who went to the
"secret" caucus for the selection of candi-
dates for city offices to be voted for at
the City Council meeting this evening.
Each member was sworn to secrecy be-
fore beng allowed to participate.
There was little or no contention over
the present incumbents, with the cxcep-
ton OF City Auditor, City Solicitor and
Highway Commissioner.
II transpired during the day that Phillip
c. Sheldon and Charles F. Burnham were
the contestants for the position OF Audi
tor and that the struggle was pretty Bit
ter. Sheldon was accused by the friends
Carroll, and the other side retorted that
Burnham and his friends Joined the Third
party and We're not entitled to be consld-
cred in n Republican caucus. IL il said
that Burnhsm pulled through, although
u bolt is threatened tonight as deal was
proposed to a certain Democrat today.

present il cumbent, Mr.. Barnefield, James
L. jerks and Judge W. w. Blodgelt. II

c.pt.
1t Is understood that the Democrats will
have to take han in the struggle this
evening in order to settle 1t as the ''secret"
caucus was unable to do IL last evening.
For Highway Commissioner, Loren O..
Ladd and William p. Allen were pitted
against each other.
The first trial resulted In a tie-up as
some members voted scattering" on ac-
count of not having heen "seen."
a long wranglo then ensued and finally
Ladd carried the caucus, although II is
feared by some that the Allen men will
prove treacherous.
The caucus lasted about three hours,
and 1t was quite acrimonious at times.

which were to he cmbodie,l in the treaty.
They cover large numbor OF subjects,
looking to the settlement 9f many pend
ing di iicuities relating To trade and coast
ing laws In the waters Of Canada and the
Tinted States.
After IL friendly conference of several
hours in whirh all matters In dispute
were discussed Mt length, Secretary Blaine
desired TO know on what authority they
were basing their negotiations. and
whether the home government WAS In
favor or assentcd to IL. 1t was then dis
covered that they had no authority in the
premises. The secretary at once informed
them that negotiations Of the character
proposed unless they had the authority Of
the home government would be waste of
time and useless.
The British minister here interposcd and
assured Secretary Blaine that there would
he no difficulty in securing full authority
from the English premier, Lor,, Salisbury.
The secretary maintained that this au-
thorit ,s,yas essential before any further
steps were taken. Accordingly the nogo-
fiations came 10 "A sudden termination.
One of the CanaliaE ministers before his
departure said To a member of congress
that he did not see that they gained any
thing by coming to Washington. and

tions, Ii can be asse rted without question

The spectators were as much excited as
the principals, and the netting was furi-

several Of the most savage rounds on rec
ord being fought, with honors apparently
about even. The audience lost all pru-
