DRNz ATTIC CAUCUS.
Con sid e ring the Changes of Chair
HnenshiH1S, Etc.

WASHINGTON. March THE Demo-
cratic members of the Senate went into
caucus this morning a few minutes after
10 O'Clock and are still (uoon) discussing
the question of organization. Up to the
present moment absolutely nothing has
been accomplished beyond the expression
of individual views. 1t is given on good
authority that before the caucus is oyer
it will dispose of the elective officers.
The time of the caucus so far bas been
devoted to consideration of committee
changes and the craftsmanship. The Re.
publicans concluded their committee
meeting last night without arriving at
any definite result, for the reason that
they were all at sea and will be in that
condition until the majority notifies
them what they have decided upon. The
retiring chairmen of the various COM
| nittsces will, however. be given d rank
ing place on the committee and the
youngest member, in point of service.
will be dropped. The chief contest will
be among those senators who will be
entitled to the craftsmanship of a minor
committee held by Democrats under the
Congress just ended. There are eleven
such chairmenshipS and the Republican
caucus committee has decided that they
shall go to the senator's who have seen
the longest continuous service. Such an
| assignment gives each senator a room at
| the capitol and is very desirable.

ksUSSARS HURLED.
Back From washington IniO "a
Railway Wreck.

WINNSBoRo. S. c., March THE car
of the Georgia Hussars, returning from
Washington to Savannah, was wrecked
two miles north of here yesterday after
noon. The truck of the tender jumped
the track and after running some dis
tance caught under the front of a stock
car cont aiming horses, pushing it down a
high ernbankment and standing it al
most on end. The accident was caused
by the imperfect condition of the track.
The Hussars, who escaped with only a
shaking up. had to tear the stock car
almost to pieces to get their horses out.
Fortunately the car was of the palace
variety and the partitions kept the
horses apart. AS it was, two of the
finest horses will die and several Others
are injured

GROVER e. YOUNG
An Interesting coincidence ON
The SVvannanOa.

Squire Robert H, Young, one of Bun
combe's we'll known citizens. who lives
on Swannanoa, is in the city, and
proudly tells OF a coincidence in his family
that is notable: He says that at mid
night on the 4th of March, 1898. Mrs.
Young gave birth to fine girl baby.
The Squire could not see his way clear
to naming the little cherub after any
of the Har rison family, although
she was born on the day Of
Harrison's Inauguration, but he prom
sed himself if like event occurred again
on like auspicious day, the youngster
should have distinguished given name,
as well as the honorable surname it
would inherit.
Last Saturday, March 4. about mid
mig hit, four years, almost to the hour,
after the birth of the girl, Mrs. Young
made the Squire happy by presenting
him with bouncing boy. The Squire
is so tickled over the event that he had
to come to town to tell all his friends.
And the new arrival will go through
life with the honored name of Grover
Cleveland Young.

Alderman Starnes was made acting

street (of whom MIR. Penniman was a
bondsman and backer,) had given him a
draft on the city for $2.O9O.41. which
was to be paid to Mr.. Pennimau from
the S per cent. withheld by the city till
the contract should be completed. He
mad asked Mayor Blanton if the Board
| would accept the draft, and the Mayor
had told him he could consider the draft
formally accepted, although the Board
| had never heard of the matter. Last

on the city that it must not pay into

by notifying the city, through Clerk
|
Smith.
Mr.. Penniman, in explaining the mat

Smith tried, with this draft as a lever,
| to get him to sign certain papers having
no bearing whatever upon this trauSac-
ton, failing in which he had stopped

much like "blackmail.' He then SUI

Fuller had been selected to administer
the oaths, was unable to reach the de-
partment until 11:15. Promptly at that
time Justice Field came into the room OF
the Secretary of State leaning on the arm
of fAttorney-Gcneral Olney and accompa-
MED by Priv ate Secretary Thurber, Rep
resent ative Charles O'Neil, father of the
House." and B. B. Smalley, Democratic
National committeeman from Vermont.
The party at once repaired to the dlplo-
matte parlor where about fifty persons
were present to witness the ceremony.
The new cabinet officers grouped them
selves about the table at the east end OF
| the parlor. Justice Field and Secretary
| Gresham at the head. The venerable
| jurist then called the secretaries to his
| left hand, and in turn administered the
statutory oath to Carlisle, Lamont
| Smith, Herbert, Olney. Bissell and Nor
ton. The ceremony being ended a few
minutes were spent in exchanging salu.

| strangers to one another and then the
new secretaries departed tor their severa
departments to enter upon the discharge
| of their duties.
Secretary Carlisle assumed the dutie.

DIR. 7. A. Watson is on the war path
today. For months he has been train
ing fu1l-blood Jersey calf in the way it
should and should not go, and all the
doctors neighbo1s agree that he had
reason to be proud of his work. The
calf, in short, was a beauty; was" be-
cause when the Doctor went out to the
calls quarters in his barn this morning,
he found that dogs had entered therein
during the night and chewed off the end
fortunately the lower end-of the high
bred Jerseys tail. The Doctor wishes
to advise dog owners that, from this on,
his stable and stable yard will be defended
bv steel traps. deadfalls, loaded spring
guns and the like, and that he has enacted
an anti-dog law, to apply to Grove street
at least.

John Wanama<er was the only man on
the floor of the Senate who did not stand
up and remain standing during the
PRAYER. Even the Chinese Minister paid
that respect to our religion. 1t was
limited by some one who knows Mr..
Wanamaker well that he carried such a
load OF reli sion that he could not get up
with it.
The multitude that composed President
Cleveland audien &c kept warm by press
ing close together. but the soldiers at the
back of the crowd were unable to do
this. On that account they presently
fell to dancing like minstrels mad men
producing the most comical scene that
has ever been witnessed at an Inaugural

1t was a marvellous sight to see that
one man [CIeveland1 bareheaded, stand

| lift up the snow and hurl it in a great
| cloud, as if blizzard was raging; and il
| was stranger yet to think that of al
these thousands of persons he alone wa,
risking his health, and perhaps his life.
There was much disorder, and ther
was drunkenness so general that ever
some soldiers and many policemen
shared in it. 1t had been so cold tha
| men and very many women yielded t.
the temptation to take frequently O
liquor, and the consequence was pitifu
1t was bad enough to see drunken mill
tiamen trailing the butts of their guns i

| tinguished public men showing then
selves in disgraceful conditions on til
reviewing stand, and it was thousan
| times worse to hear of the drunke
women who accompanied these men.

her favor yet the effect is none the
less benefit to this country in that
it effectually settles the matter, and
questions being in dispute on which
even our own statesmen held varied

or activities, wider distances and differ
ent states. We must have an annual
increase of SAC, 600 to keep pace
with our 100000 annual increase in
population, holding the supply per cap
tia where it is now, $24.5O. Before the
characterization of silver, although the
relative quantities of gold and silver an
nually produced varied from three times
as much to less than one-half in case of
silver, yet the market prices of the two
metals never varied more than 3.3 per
cent from the standard. 1t was the de
monetization of silver that caused fuc.
tuation in value and disaster.
All of which shows how easy it was to main
tain values, irrespective of the yield of the
metals, so long as both were admitted to coin
age. 1t Is now well proved that by no possibility
can these values be maintained except by adj
uniting both metals to free coinage upon an
ESTABLISHED ratio, and the alternative of this is
to discard silver as legal tender, and there
fore practically as money. If the entire world
should agree to and adopt this, it would mean
at once discarding $4,OO0,0OO,OO of money and
contraction to at least large proportion of
that amount.
