| WARRINGTON. March 21.-The democrats
of the senate met in ceuous at noon to con-
slider the subject OF the reorganization of
tho elective officers of the senate. At a
previous caucus tho whole matter was left
to the steering committee. of which Cor
man is chairman. The report made, to the
surprise of tho junior senator's at least,
contained no recommendation. Tho COM
mittee had q number Of conforen ces but
was unable to agree upon report that
should be positive in its character. The
coucus adjourned at four O'Clock, having
como to determination to nominate
elective officers. The ticket 30 nominate
Ia composed of William Il. Cox, Of North
Carolina. ex-representative, for secretary
of the senate; Rhinehard j. Bright, OF In
diana. ex- x-serKeant-at-arms, for sergeant
alarms; Rev. w. H. Milburn. present
chaplain OF the house OF representatives,
for chaplain of the senate. The result was
not reached without protracted debate. for
there is considerable element of the party
that opposed the idea Of doing anything
that would be in violation OF the pro-
cedent of the senate and give cause for
opposition on the part of the republicans.
Tho motion for the admission of three
senators. who were appointed by the gov
ernors of Montana, Wyoming and Wash
inRton. was not broached. The question
will come before the senate on the report of
the committee on privileges and elections.
The patronage of the senate was consid-
cred, for list was made of employees Of re-
publican faith who will be retained.
After the caucus Wns over one of the
leading members OF the democratic COM
mittee said it is the intention of the party
to make an attempt to elect the nominees.
just when this would be done he could not
say, but resolution. he thought. might be
introduced in the senate at any time. II
the republicans appeared determined in
their effort to prevent reorganization at
this session it may be the democrats will
desist and let ii 60 over. There appears,
though. no probability of the abandonment

Grover Running Things.

New YORK, March 21.-A Washington
special to morning paper says it has just
leaked out that President Cleveland has
notified tho members OF the cabinet
that they must make no appointments
until the names of those selected to assume
office have been submitted to and approved
by him. The rule was laid down by the
president in the most positive terms and it
is to apply even to clerks in the depart
ments. Another interesting fact also be-
came known to-day. At the first
cabinet meeting the question of al
lowing republicans in the diplomatic
and consular service to serve out the terms
for which they were appointed was dis
oussed. The sentiment expressed was gen.
orally in favor of not removing any lepub-
lican holdovers except for cause. Secretary

Most of them feed off insects alone; but
few, like the famous vampire bats Of
South America, take q mean advantage
of sleeping animals, and suck their blood

A SPIDER FARM.
A New Industry Which Has Taken

Many will be inclined to discrcdit the
statement that spider raising is an estab-

being successfully conducted by Ernest
Reyber the proprietor of the Enterprise
bottling work on Cowart street. Mr..
Reyber estimates that between 5, 900 and
5000 of these insects make their home
in his bottling department, which occu-
pies a large room probably sixty feet
square.
The ceiling is fairly covered with
thousands upon thousands of little
patches of fibery material within which
the insects nest aud lay their eggs. At
this season they spend little time in their
nests, but in the daytime hide in dark,
out of-the-way cracks and corners, but
in easy command of their woven snares.
Spider webs are everywhere, spanning
the space between floor and ceiling or
spread about the machinery, in front of
