PRCGRAMMs OF THE SENATE.
A Caucus OF the Republicans Fails &c
Reach an ARre cement.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-There was q
caucus of the republican senators this
morning to arrange an order OF business to
follow the anti-option bill, which is expected
TO be disposed of Wednesday. Nothing final
was done for two reasons. First, because OF
slender attendance; second, because there
was a difference of opinion that could not
be adjusted in the brief time that the caucus
was in session. This difficulty arose from
the effort OF certain senator's to bind the
caucus to take up the silver repeal resolu-
tion immediately after the anti-option bill.
As was to be expected the silver senntors
bitterly resisted this attempt and the caucus
adjourned to meet tomorrow, when it is
hoped there will be q better attendance.
ADMISSION OF TERRITORIES.
Silver was not tbs only subject discussed.
The northwestern members made a vigor-
Gus fight for the admission of the four terri
tories of New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahoma
and Utah, and it is claimed that the opposi-
ton hitherto manifested by Mr.. Platt,
chairman Of the committee ON territories, is
weakening. It Is probable that as an OUT
growth of this caucus, MIR. Carey will in-
troduce an omnibus bill. Three OF the ter
ritories would be surely, and one Okla
homa) probably democratic. This matter
will be urged at the caucus tomorrow
IAKub Oy tuo scudbOTb tEOIu Lue uOEbDNCbb
An agreement was also reached that q
vote should be taken on the anti-option bill
Wednesday and in this the steering com
mlttse of the democrats have also agreed.
THE FIGHT OVER SILVER.
That there is trouble ahead on the silver
question is evident from the attitude of
Messrs. Teller and Stewart, both of whom
are bitterly opposed to the repeal of the
Sherman Rot. Mr.. Stewart declined to
enter the republican caucus, but will join
with Mr.. Teller in anything that will help
along silver.
Other senators not so pronounced In their
views as Senator Teller, say that many who
are not in favor of free coinage, will not
vote to repeal the Sherman act, as they look
upon it as a safety valve thav ought not to
be tampered with. Immediately after the
caucus MIR. Teller was IN earnest conversa-
tion with democratic senators on the floor,
and il is possible that he has laid his plans
for vigorous resistance to any step that
has for its end the repeal of the Sherman
law.
Favorable action was staken in the di-
rection of setting aside an early day for
the consideration of bills submitted 60 the
interstate commerce commission.
The proposition to guarantee the bonds of
the Nicaragua canal came up. but was not
discussed at any length.

The Rival Parties Each Name Three
Men to Represent Them.
Topeka, KAN, Jan. 16.-At 4 O'Clock
this afternoon the rival houses assembled
pursuant to the agreement OF Saturday.
The attendance on the floor was confined to
members and representatives OF the press,
all others being excluded. While there had
been talk all day from both sides that there
was no hope OF compromise, the members
OF the rival houses ct once began comforting
among themselves with a view to making a
start toward q peaceful settlement of their
trouble.
Both houses adopted a concurrent reso-
luton providing for a joint convention
tomorrow for the election of state printer
Having done this, both houses took recess
for an hour and the two bodies immedi-
ately went into committee of the whole to
devise way OF settling the troubles A
conference committee consisting OF Messrs
Warner, Troutman and Seaton, repubs
and Campbell, Coburn and Ryan,
pops. were appointed TO take the Ques-
tlon of settlement in hand. Thes- gentle
men accepted the duty and at o'clock re-
tired to deliberate. After waiting until
$50 o'clock and hearing nothing from the
conferrees both houses adjourned until
o'clock tonight.
The republican members Of che House and
Senate met in caucus tonight and on the
fourth ballot nominated George w. Crane
Of Topeka for state printer. The populists'
caucus nominated L. II. Snow on the
first ballot. The dual houses adjourned
tonight without having accomplished
anything. Feeble attempts were made TO
get together. but the conference committees
failed to make any reports, and after the
caucus for state printer had adjourned, the
houses organized we're called to order and
adjourned.

LINCOLN. NEB., Jan. 16.-The republic
ans won the first move in the senatorial
game to-day by defeating the Amendments
providing that the populist speaker preside

the aid of three democrats. This allows
Majors, the republican lieutenant governor,

liant. The bslloting begins tomorrow.
Neither party will present caucus
nominees until the strength of each candi-
date is made known by ballot. Tonight
the republican tide seems to be setting in

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 16.-Friends Of
John Il. Knight Of Ashland claim that
the caucus Of the democrats TO nominate
United States senator will be brief and they
say Mr.. Knight will be named unless Gen.
Bragg of Fon du Lao and Mr.. Mitchell of
Milwaukee succeed in forming a coalition
for some dark horse Mr.. Knight claims
thirty>three votes on the first ballot, with a
sufficient number OF members Eayoring
him for second choice to exceed forty-two tbs
necessary to nominate. The springing of a
dark horse might weaken the Ashland mans
ranks and it is thought by many that he is
oversanguine. The death of Senator Fred
Horn Of Cedarburg yesterday takes one
vote from Mr.. Mitchell and one from Mr.
Bragg's list Of second choice Legislators
but 1t does not reduce the number of forty
two votes to make a majority of the caucus
Eighty-two ballots would have been cast
with Senator Horns. His death leaves
eighty-one, but still forty-two votes a ma

A STATEMENT PROMISED.
It was hoped to-day when the physicians
announced that at a specified hour they
would be prepared 10 issue a fuller state-
ment on this subject than had hitherto been
given out, that some facts would be allowed
70 transpire which would satisfy the natural
desire OF the public TO ascertain the truth
in regard to the illness. and at the same
time stop the crop Of contradictory and
sensational rumors now prevailing. This
anticipation was not realized. There was Q
delay in the issue OF the promised bulletin.

ing but what had previously been made
known.

Mr.. Blaine's physicians made the follow
ing statement this afternoon: "Mr. Blains's

The Financial Terms of the Bill Re
ported Agreed On.
LONDON. Jan. 16.-A cabinet council last
ing three hours was held to-day and II was
rumored that the friction bstween the
members of the cabinet as TO the details of
the home rule bill showed considerable
augmentation since the last meet
lug. The financial terms of Ihe
bill are said, however, 10 be
substantially arranged. In the first home
rule bill the ratio Of Ireland's contributions
to the imperial excheQuer was one- fifteenth,
totalling E3, 242. 600 per annum. This esti-
mate was based on the valuation OF prop
erty in Great Britain and Ireland, ratios Of
income tax, and properties on which death
duties were assessed. Mr.. Parnell accepted
the estimate while protesting against its in-
justice and inaccuraoy.
THE NEW PROPOSALS.
The new proposals, based upon fairer
data. will make Ireland's contribution only
one twenty-third, equaling 2,070, S65 per
annum. This is q concession on the original
sum demanded from Ireland of R1, III, 1856
yearly. II is understood that the balance 10
effected simply by reduced imperial expendi-
ture in Ireland Another important feature
in the Irish financial scheme 10 that a loan
shall be granted from the imrerial to the
Irish exchequer, to enable the Irish admin
istration to start fair The more reason
able Of the Irish party will hesitate before
opposing this financial scheme. The de-
mands OF the Redmond section that Ire
lands contribution should be only $1,000 =
900 will not be entertained by Mr.. Glad
stone.
