SENATE CAUCUS.
Democrats Unable to Agree or
Any Line of Policy.

Democrats Unable to Agree on
Any Line of Policy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Almost every
Democratic senator was present at the
party caucus this morning. The meet
ing was convened at 1O:3O a. M, and
when the hOnr of noon arrived, nothing
definite had been accomplished and an
adjournment was taken until immedi-
ately after the adjournment of the SEN
ate.
The resolution of Mr.. Hale (Rep.) yes
terday, which so suddenly and uneX-
pectedly brought the question of speedy
repeal of the Sherman law before the
senate. it was thought by some Demo
Gratis, placed them III position where a
conference became necessary in order
that the policy of the party might be
discussed and unanimity of action
agreed upon. AS might be expected,
with the Democrats divided upon this
subject as were the Republicans, there
was diversity of opinion, and
a vast amount of unlmpor-
tant talk was INDUCED in, with
the inevitable result of nothing

hour came around. The discussion was
decidedly animated; at times there was
tinge of sarcasm in the tones of those
| who were inclined to look upon the
attitude of the president, as defined in
his message, as being i'll opposition to
the platform of the Democratic party.
No definite proposition was advanced,
and when the caucus adjourned it was
just as much at sea as when it was
called together.
The Afternoon Caucus
was almost as unproductive of results
as the morning session. Most of the
time was consumed in the expression OF
individual views, which clearly demon
strated that each element in the party
was firmly welded to its own notions.
One senator, who occupies high posi-
tion in the finance committee and
whose leaning towards free silver is
pronounced, declared positively, "You
can set it down MS certainty that the
Sherman act will not be repealed un-
conditionally."
On the other hand some senators who
have sided with the president said
rather despondently, that while no tan
gible advance had been made toward
point where the party could be
regarded as united, they had not abau-
| doned hope that the efforts in that di-
rectlon might eventually result in sue
ce0s.

. ditional repeal proposition il gaining

SENATE, SESSION.
Senators Heard the Journal Read
and Adjourned

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The chap
lain's opening prayer this morning was
an eulOgy on the late Senator Stanford,
of California, who had (Mr. Milburn
said) since the last session entered int
the spiritual world. The journal of
yesterday having been read, the house
joint resolution for the payment of ses-
sion employees OF the hause and senate
was laid before the senate, and it was
referred to the committee OH appropria-
tions. Mr.. German (Maryland) then
moved that the senate adjourn and Mr..
Platt Connecticut demanded the yeas
and nays on that motion. The vote re-
suited yeas 4S. nays 81, and the senate
at 1920 adjourned until tomorrow at
noon. The negative votes were all
given by Republicans. Mr.. PETER Pop
ulist, Kansas voting with them and MIR.
Kyle (Popultst. South Dakota) voting

strength and that certain of the ultra
silver men are preparing to follow in
the direction indicated by the leaders in
the silver caucus in the house today,
namely, towards repeal with free coin
age at an increased ratio. 1t was a rather
significant fact that the
Silver Men
appeared to have less anxiety than their
opponents about the result of the eau
Gus, as was evidenced by their conduct
while the senators were discussing the
situation, number of them leaving the
room and going to the restaurant, where
they calmly INDUCED in luncheon, ap-
parently unconcerned as to what was
going on in the chamber above.
Neither party in the senate has ever
been able to caucus with complete sue
cess on the subject of silver, and to-
days caucus was no exception to the
rule. So, after eXhausting the posi-
DllltIes OF debate, the caucus fell back
upon the oft-tried eXpedient of delegat-
Ing toa committee the task of endeay-
oring to arrange plan of business that
should be satisfactory to all sides.
MIR. German, the chairman of the eau
Gus, was authorized to appoint this
committee, and the caucus itself ad-
Journed subject to his call, which will
be issued as soon as the committee has
reached an agreement and is prepared
to submit report for action. Imme-
dlately after adjournment of the caucus
Mr.. German repaired to the room of
the committee on appropriations and
called into consultation Senators Black
burn, Gray, Ransom and Voorhees,.
Senator Cockrell was invited to remain
IN the room. All of the senators with
the exception of Senator G ray were
members of the Democratic caucus COM
mittee of the last session; and. although
Mr.. German had not made his appoint
ments at the time of the con sultation,
their presence gave color to the expecta-
tlon that they would be named as men,
bers of the caucus committee tomor row.

ROCHESTER, BANK CLOSES
Because Withdrawals Consider
ably Exceed Deposits.


Special to the Globe.
ROCHESTER,, Mimi, April 9.-Shortly
before noon today the following notice
was posted OH the entrance to the Union
National bank in this city:
"Owlng to rapid and continued with
drawal of deposits, and the impossibiIity
of collecting paper at this season of the
year fast enough to meet demands upon
US, the directors have resolved to sus-
pend payment. The bank has sufficient
assets, mainly in notes given by farmers
and business men in the county, to pay
all IL owes. and no depositor will lose
dollar"
The above notice is briefly all that
needs to be said. The scare on the
part OF depositors has caused gradual
withdrawal, and the bank was simply
unable to collect as fast as it paid out.
The bank has sustained no loss, has no
bad debts outstanding, and the pay
ment of every depositor in full is only
a question of time. Business will be
resumed as soon as sufficient time has
elapsed for collections to be made. The
posting of the notice created no excite
ment further than conversation about
the street, and the other banks kept
open during the noon hour, when Or
dinarily they would be closed.

To Blow Up the kentucky PEN
itentiary Walls.


FRANKFORT, KY, Aug. 9.-Another
daring attempt among the convicts to
blow up the penitentiary walls and es-
cape was discovered by the warden last
night, and the details were made public
this morning. The principals in the
conspiracy were the two Reeves broth
erG and a fellow by the name of How
ard, all desperate men, who are serving
terms of thirty-one years each
for blowing up bank and at
tempting to burn the town of Tomp-
kiGSville few years ago. They had
acted suspiciously for some days, and
upon investigation, the warden found
IN their possession two pistols, huge
quantity of dynamite. nitro-glycerine
and other combuSIibles, and evidently
intended to make death struggle for
liberty after blowing up the prison
walls. They refused to talk, but some
OF tue other prisoners who claim not to
haHe been in the conspiracy gave away
the plan of attempted escape. Strict
surveillance will be kept upon the
prisoners, who are sullen and disap-
peiuted over the failure of their schema.
