The Democrats in Close Consultation Over
Committees and Places.

WAsHISGToN, March THE Democratic
members of the Senate went into caucus
this morning, few minutes after 10
O'Clock, and remained in secret session till
long after noon, discussing the question of
organization 1t will be impossible to get
anything like definite idea of the situa-
ton till later in the day, rs there is every
probability of lengthy session. Up to
i. IN. absolutely nothing had been accom-
plshed beyond the expression of indi-
vidual views.
The programme cOntemplates the reor-
ganigatinn of the committees first, al
though it is given out OH good authority
that before the caucus is over it will dis
pose Of the elective offices, The time of
the caucus 50 far had been devoted to the
consideration Of the committee changes
and chairmgnships.
The Republicans concluded their COM
mittee meeting last night without arriving
at definite selection, for the reason that
they were all at sea aud will be in that
condition until the majority notifies them
what they have decided upon.
The retiring chulrmen Of various conf
mittccs will, however, be given the rank
ing place on the committees, and the
oldest members in point Of service will be
dropped. The chief contest will be among
those Senators who will be entitled to
chairmanships Of the minor committees.

From 500 to LOO Lives Lost On the
Louisiana Coast.
New ORLEANS. Oct. 6.-The reports
from Point a la Hache and vicinity
put the death up to eighty persons.
Searching parties in the vicinity Of
Grand Prairie found fifty-seven bodies,
some buried beneath the debris of the
wrecked houses and others high and
dry on the land where the receiving
waters had dropped them. They were
nearly all Austrian colonists who had
a large settlement Mt this point The
men were engaged in the oyster in
dustry.
The appeal for aid from the storm
stricken country has met with a ready
response and large shipments of sup
plies have gone by rail to Point a Ia
Hache and Bellaire. Mr.. John Dymond,
one OF the largest sugar planters in the
unfortunate section, sent the steamer
Neptune to the above points loaded to
the guards with -four, meats and other
supplies. These places will be made
distributing points and other ship
ments will be made.
The marine quarantine station near
the Rigolets came in for share of the
general loss, and was battered up Sc
verely by the hurricane.
The heaviest crop loss will be on the
orange crop. It is estimated that fully
SO per cent. of the fruit has been blown
from the trees, and is lying on the
ground, too green to ship and unfit for
use, and will prove dead loss to the
growers.

They Will Not Make . Demand for nm
increase of Wages Until Times Grow
BETTER.
MACON, Mo-, Oct. 6.-The 700 coal
miners at Ardmore have decided not
TO make any demand for an increase
In wages this winter until the finan-
cial situation gets better. The finan-
cial depression of the country has
caused the demand for coal to be
light. The Ardmore miners have not
been receiving steady work at fifty
cents, and what they want now is
steady work at fifty cents. but the small
demand. for coal will probably not
justify regular work even at that
amount at present. Last summer the
Ardmore miners went out in sympathy
with the Kansas strikers, but the
bevier miners refuse to join them, and
the former soon went back to work
Ardmore miners are now apparently
retaliating by refusing to join the
Bevier men in their demands. At
Bevier the 1000 miners are just as firm
in their demands as the operators are
IN refusing to pay the increase.
