we'll. Then Mr.. Armstrong wanted to
say something, but as the meeting did
not desire to hear him he withdrew his

was authorized by Judge Griffin to cav
that the McCauley faction had said ali

At Mr.. Strayer's request recess of

THE LINING UP PROCESS.

Democrats OF thu seustc Trying to Agree
on q Plan of Action.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic caucus committee Of the senate
met this morning and was in session all
day without coming to any conclusion
as to plan for the work OF the senate.
The brie. proceedings in the senate
yesterday, coming after the action of the
day before, indicate that the parties in
the senate are being "lined up" There
is slight disaffection on the Republican
side on the part OF few silver men, but
generally they have adopted the policy
OF annoying their opponents BY insisting
upon the immediate disposition of the
question, therefore resisting every mo-
ton to adjourn and calling for the yeas
and nays to put the senators on record.
One of the Republican leaders in finan-
cial matters said they would keep up this
line of action until the majority was
obliged to proceed to business. He in
sisted that the Democrats could not
charge the Republicans with partisan
action, inasmuch az they were simply
trying to give immediate effect to the
presidents suggestions in his message.
The Democratic senators resent the
attempt of the Republicans to control
the business of the senate and dictate
the character of legislation. They have
resolved that they will not permit action
until they have themselves agreed upon
line of policy, and the conduct of the
Republicans has had the effect to con-
solidate all elements on the Democratic
side upon this resolution. Meanwhile
tho Darnocrafic cancue comuaitkpn in in
almost constant session trying to ar
range plan of action, and the keenest
parliamentarians on the Republican
side are quietly conferring among them
selves to devise means to carry out their
ideas, 30 that the sessions of the senate
promise to be interesting.
Between now and Monday it is hoped
by the friends of the administration in
the senate that some plan may be
agreed on on the silver question, but
there are slender grounds for confidence
in the developments that have cropped
out thus far,

How the Austrian Enpr.s. Looks.


Our Vienna correspondent telegraphss
During the reception at court on Nom
day the many hundreds Of persons OF
distinction assembled had eyes only for
the empress. During long evening she
was the central figure in brilliant
pageant. Her appearance was certainly
striking. Dressed entirely In dull black,
with not jewel or even Jet to relieve
the monotony of the deep mourning, she
bore herself majestically. The face, sur
rounded by ringlets, looked young still,
framed as it was in the laces of broad
collar that fell over fashionable puff
sleeves. A veil Of fowered gauze fell
from the tresses that were set up like
tiara on the white brow. The old smile
reappeared every moment with the easy
grace for which she was famous in the
days when society saw more Of her.
She spoke to hundred ladies in the
course of the evening, and to two gem
tlernen, Cardinal Gruscha and old M
Koloman Tisza, with whom she kept up
lively conversation In Hungarian. The
ladies and gentlemen Of her suite werf
dressed in black also, and the Widowed
crown princess appeared in q black vel
vet dress, low and studded with dif
monds. The Archduchess Marie Theree

How the Opposing Forces Came to An
Agreement.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-A conference
of the opposing forces on the silver ques-
tion was called for 10 O'Clock this morn
ing, and the eagerness and anxiety OF
each side was made apparent by the
early arrival Of the parties to the con-
ference. The silver men had not yet
arrived at q conclusion upon the last
proposition from the other side, provid-
ing that the repeal bill shall take
precedence, but that an opportunity
will be given for votes upon different
ratios and other plans of the silver men.
Just before the conference began they
stated they could not exp press an opinion
as to whether the proposition would be
accepted or rejected.
The conference, however, reached an
agreement by which general debate on
the bill for the repeal of the purchase
clause of the Sherman act will be limited
to II days; this to be followed by de-
bate of three days under the five. minute
rule, when voting will begin on the bill
and various silver amendments.
