8 Decision Reached Regarding Reorga-
nization of the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The Repub-
licans OF the Senate met in caucus this
morning to consider the threatened at
tempts by The Democrats to reorganize
the elective officers of the Senate. There
was full attendance. Mr.. Sherman pre-
siding. 1t was declared that this was
contrary to all precedent at special ses-
sion and would seriously interfere with
public business. 1t was unanimously
agreed that the chairman should wait on
Mr.. German, chairman of the Democratic
caucus, and notify him that any attempt
ct reorganization would be very distaste-
ful to the Republicans. There will be no
opposition to the election of Mr.. Harris as
president pro tempore. The committees
and clerks have been changed and the Re-
publicans say the reorganization is COM
plete for this session.
II the Democrats try To go further the
Republicans will quote from the records
OF 1881, when the Democrats opposed any
effort Of this sort on the part of tie Re-
publicans, who finally abandoned all eff
fort in this direction. If this is not snf-
fcient, another caucus viii be held with
the probability OF decision to filibuster,
as the Democrats did in 1881. The Re-
ruhlicans say they have power to prevent
a new organization if it comes to a
pinch.

WRECK OF THE BELKNAp.
Captain Staples and His Son Arrive in
New York.


NEW YORK, March 2O.-Among the
passengers on the British steamer Mora,
which arrived from Yokohoma today,
were Captain Horace Staples and his son,
w. H. Staples, of the American ship Rob
ert L. Belknap, which was wrecked off
Natuna islands in the China sea, on Jan.
is last. OF their leaving the ship, the
captain says: There were twenty eight of
US altogether, three mates, a woman,
myself, and crew of twenty three men.
The chief mate, his wife and six of the
crew were in the first boat. Others fol-
lowed. Myself, my son and six men were
the last to leave. The nearest land was
Singapore, 800 miles away. What ex-
periences the others had [ don't know,
but God forbid that | shall ever suffer
what | did on those five days.
Imagine eight men in small boat I'M
der a sun that fairly burned our skin.
There was but little wind to help US
along, and we had nothing with which
to shelter ourselves during the day, and
only few blankets to cover ourselves
with at night. When Singapore was f.
nally sighted we were all too weak from
exposure to give evidence, and to our de-
light the American consul took charge
OF us. -
The British steamer Empress of India,
which arrived at Vancouver on the 18th
inst, reported the safe arrival at Singa-
pore of the second mate and four Of the
crew OF the Belknap.

Wade Hampton of South Carolina, COM
missioner of railroads; VIM. McAdoo of
New Jersey, assistant secretary OF the
navy, and some military nominations.
1t appears that the Senate acted upon all
nominations sent in up 10 Saturday, ex-
except Edmund B. Whitney of New York,
to be assistant attorney general, f. p.
Gayle of New Mexico to be receiver of
public moneys, and j. e, Swindlehurst
Explanation OF the failure to act in the
cases of Whitney and Gayle will doubtless
be found in the fact that the committees
on Judiciary and Public Lands which
must first pass upon the nominations
have not yet had q meeting.

THE MISSING NARoNIc.
Two of Her Life Boats Sighted OF the
New Foundland Coast.

New Foundland Coast.
BREMEN, March 2O.-The British
steamer Coventry, which arrived here to-
day from Fernandina, brings news max
ing certain the loss of the White Star
freight steamer Naronic, which sailed
from Liverpool for New York Feb. II,
and was not heard from thereafter till
now. The Coventry reports that on
March 4, southeast OF Sable island, off the
coast of New FOundland, she sighted two
lifeboats bearing the name of Naronic,
keel upward, giving evidences OF having
passed through q very severe storm. The
appearances indicated that neither boat
had been long adrift.
There is chance that the occupants
have been picked up by passing vessel.
One of the boats was passed at O'Clock
in the morning, the other at 2 in the af-
ternoon. That the Naronic is at the bot
tom OF the sea is not doubted, but the
cause of the disaster, of course, is still a
matter of conjecture. 1t is thought pos
sible, judging by the position of the the
boats, that the Naronlc may have struck
an iceberg, though it is rather early in
the season for them to be floating in that
latitude.
The list OF the officers of the Naronic is
as follows: Captain, William Roberts !;
chle1 QHlcer, y. Wrlgnb;' culeI engineer,
Duncan; ships steward, j. Taylor.
The crew numbered, including officers,
fifty men. The only other persons on
board, it is said, were fourteen
cattlemen, connected with Eastman s
cattle yard OF New York who had gone
over in charge OF cattle and were return
ing. The list of these cattlemen are as
follows:
Tim Corners, P. McEntee. James Sher-
man, James Kane, H. Larkin, Z. Smith !,
John Watson, VIII Shaffer, James
o. Hara, j. Burke, Henry Beney, j. Stat
ford, William Tobin, William Magee.

MADRID, March 2O.-The cabinet met
in extra session today in consequence OF
the report that French troops had landed

continues, and causes much excitement.

either power. 1t is not believed that the
French have landed troops. a Paris dis
patch says nothing is known in this city
to confirm the report that French troops

about 5 o'clock. An alarm of fire was
given and the flames were seen issuing
from the house of Chris Arentsen, on
Wisconsin street. Neighbors ran in and
had begun removing things when loud
explosion was heard in the rear part of
the house. When the fire department
came up and the flames were subdued,
search was made and three bodies were
found under the mass of ruins.
The bodies were those Arentsen, his
father and a boy who lived with the
family. They could scarcely be recog-
nized, as they were burned almost to a
crisp, and some of their limbs torn away.
Arentsen was a maker of fireworks, and a
short time after he came here from Chi
cago began to make fancy fireworks in his
own house. A large quantity Of gun
powder was stored in the place, and this
no doubt caused the accident.

THE CoNrEMPT CASE.
Lake Shore Engineers VIII Appear in
Court Today.

CLEVELAND, March 2O.-Judge Kicks,
of the United States circuit court, will go
to Toledo tomorrow morning to hear the
appear for contempt in refusing to obey
the injunction in the Ann Arbor strike.
Judge Kicks has stated that his remarks
at Toledo were in no sense a decision or
opinion of the court upon the injunction
cases which are to be heard tomorrow.
When the men were brought into court
to answer for contempt in disobeying the
injunction, the judge took occasion to
explain the scope of his order and the re-
marks then delivered were rather in the
nature of an admonition rather than
decision. OF course no decision could be
rendered until the cases are heard in
court.
