= Compromise offered.

WASIIINGTON, March 22.-The bat
tie over the Senate elective offices be-.
gan in the executive session Of the Sen
ate today with the proff'er of compro-
mise by the Democrats, the terms of
which were that the present officers
draw their salaries until July 12, when
the new officers who Will be elected
shall qualify anu assume office.
The suggestion of compromise came
from German, as chairman OF the Dem.
ocratie caucus. He said that it seemed
to be the easiest and best way out of
the difficulty and presented an equitable
division of salary that would enure to
the employees. The argument had been
made that summary dismissal OF the
employees without due notice would
work hardship and the proposition
made to the Republicans would, ho
thought, neutralize the effect Of such an
argument and fair treatment Of all
concerned.
Sherman, as chairman of the Republi-
can caucus, replied to this proposition.
| While approaching the motives that
caused the proposition TO be made, Sher-
man was Very non.committal and said
he could not speak for his party until
they had conferred together. This will
be done at to.morrow's caucus, and at
the next succeeding executive session
the Democrats will be made acquaintel i
with the determination reached. An
effort will then be made to dispose Of the
matter IN executive session, except the
formal notification in open session OF
any agreement that may be reached. If,
on the other hand, the Republicans re-
fuse to consider any compromise, the
| Democrats, it is understood, will offer
their resolution to proceed with the elec.
ton in open session, and the test Of en-.
durance will begin.
At the caucus of the Democrats which
nominated the ticket for Senate officers,
1t was agreed that certain Republicans
should not be disturbed. They are the

Bassett; the Acting Assistant Door.

Carried OF by a Cougar.

TACOMA, Wash, March 18.-Since

infest the Cascade Mountains have
been committing many depredations
at the settlements just west Of the
hills. Domestic animals such as calves
and hogs have been killed and dragged

hungry beasts. Early in the week a
big female cougar came into a camp
near Tilden, small town in the west
part Of Lewis county, south Of Taco,
ma, and carried away a little Indian
girl ten years Of age. The child was
taken to cave, their pulled to pieces
and eaten by the cougar and her young
