Moving Mr.. Davis.

Moving Mr. Davis.
II is understood that several of the
southern railroad lines will compete for
the honor of bringing the remains OF Hon.
jefferson Davis TO this city when they are
removed from New Orleans.
The Richmond and Danvllle officials are
preparing TO offer special Inducements to
the committees who will ma ke the trip.
Should their line be selected the route
will be by way of Atlanta. West Point.
louisville, Nashville. and Mobile to the
Crescent City. Mobile is embraced in the
itinerary because it is expected that the
citizens of that place will be especially
anxious to show their reverence lor lhe
ashes of the great Confederate.

SNOW HILL, Nd, Aug. 1O.--The peo.
pie Of Snow Hill have determined that
the loss suffered by them Tuesday from
fire shall not balk them In their steps
forward. The scene OF the Are has been
visited by hundreds Of people, and the
owners OF some lots In the burnt district
have already prepared to clear away the
debris preparatory to the erection of
new buildings
The town council will probably pass q
law prescribing the sort Of buildings
VIII ch shall be erected, and In this the
town people rejoice, as 1t is thought
some of the small streets will be en-
larged, and new styles Of building will
add TO the appearance OF the town and
increase its usiness facilities. Both
the national banks and Covington &
Bishop have opened banking quarters.
The post Office has been opened near
the bridge. The work Of separating and
sorting funiture, which was hauled out
on the lots while the fire was raging, is
now going an. Things are gradually
settling down from the excitement Of
the 6-e. the confidence OF the people is
returning, and the active business men OF
the community are determined to put
the town on a new basis II it Is possible

DELAWARE SENATORS HARD At WORK

Both Mr.. Gray and MIR. Higgins Are on
the Caucus Committees OF Their Re
spective Parties-work of the Caucus.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The after
noon caucuses yesterday were almost as
unproductive of results as the morning
sessions. Most Of the time was consumed
In the expression Of individual views,
which clearly demonstrated that each
element in the party was firmly welded
to its own notions. One Senator.
who occupies high position in the
Finance Committee, and whose leaning
toward free silver is pronounced. de-
clared positively, "You can set 1t down
as a certainty that the Sherman act will
not be repealed unconditionally. On
the other hand, some Senators who have
sided with the President, said rather
despondently that while no tangible ad-
vance has been made toward point
where the party could be regarded as
united, they had not abandoned hope
that the efforts in that direction might
eventually result in success.
Neither patty in the Senate has ever
been able to caucus with complete sue
cess on the subject Of silver, and to o.day's
caucus was no exception to the rule. So,
after exhausting the possibilities Of
debate, the caucus fell back upon the
oft-tried expedient of delegRting to a
committee the task of endeavorinR to
arrange plan of business that should
be satisfactory to all sides. Mr. German,
the chairman of the caucus, was autho-
lied to appoint this committee and the
caucus itself adjourned 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.
After the adjournment OF the caucus
Mr. German repaired to the room OF the
Committee on Appropriations, and called
into consultation Senators Blackburn,
Gray, Ransom and Voorhees,. Senator
| Cockrell was invited 10 remain In the
room. All these Senators, with the ex.
ception of Senator Gray. we're members OF
the Democratic Caucus Committee Of the
last session, and although Mr. German
had not made his appointments at the
time of the consultation, their presence
gave color to the expectation that they
would be named as members of the
Cauc1s Committee At the conclusion
Of this informal caucus, at 5.15 p. m.
Senator German said he would not ap.
point the committee authorized by the
caucus until to morrow.
The Republican Caucus Committee.
consisting Of Senators Allison, Mcmillan,
Jones, Higgins. Wolcott. Shoup, Proctor,
Davis and Alrich. met this afternoon in
Senator Sherman's conference room for
the purpose of considering Republican
vacancies on the committees, and the
patronage allowed them by the majority.
/ The only vacancies on committees are
those due to Senator Stanford's death
but there Rill have to be a re-arrange
ment after the Senators whose seats Ar,
now contested are admitted
There were about fifteen places in tn,
Senate force held b. Democrats undei
the Republican administration, and tn,
Democrats have decided to be equally
generous to the Republicans now. These
places will probably be filed by mer
selected by the Senators who have beer
longest in service. Nothing definite wai
accomplished by the committee TO day.
