The President Invited to the Worlds
Fair Opening
WASHINGTON, March THE Republican
caucus yesterday was well attended, and
was presided over by Sherman. Neither
Stewart nor PETER was present, although
they were given to understand that they
would be welcome. The Republicans recog-
nized..the fact that they were in the minor
ity, and discussed the line of policy that
should be pursued in the future This dis
cussion was in the most general terms,
however, and not directed to any one mat
ter in particular. There was no attempt to
interfere with the reorganization of the
senate by the Democrats, the Republicans
recognizing that such action could result
in nothing but antagonists that would
prove futile and decrease the effective work
OF a vigorous and alert minority.
The Case of Martin of Kansas.
In the case of Martin of Kansas, who
was sworn in, the Republican members of
the committee on privileges and elections
conferred with the Democratic members
and came to the conclusion that Martin
was, on the face of his credentials, entitled
to his seat. The question of legality of the
certificate was a matter that could he
opened at any time, and this agreement
accounts for the absence of any protest
against Martin performing the functions
OF senator. The Republicans at the eau
Gus decided that the question whether
Martins seat should or shonld not be con-
tested, was one that must be decided by
the Republicans of Kansas. If they insist
upon an investigation into the matter the
Republicans will conduct such an inquiry
IN the senate; but, on other hand, if the
members of the party in the state from
which Martin comes are content, no other
steps will be taken in the senate 1t is not
thought by the Republican senators that
should they decide to institute an inquiry.
the Democrats will offer any resistance.
Democrats May Organize ut Once.
Judging by the expressions given out by
leading members of the Democratic party
there will not be much delay in the cleo
ton Of the officers of the senate, although
this may occasion a protracted contest
1t is the general opinion that before the
extra session of the senate adjourns the
full organization will be effected and the
Democrats will be in power with all that
the word implies. When the senate was
called together in extra session in July,
1861, by Lincoln the Republicans organ

LAWYERS Remarkable Petition

WASHINGTON March 7.-Ex- Congressman
Lawler called at the White House yester-
day to pay his respects to President Cleve-

but the president evidently had it in his
mind for he inquired of Lawler if he
would remain here few days, to which
Lawler replied that he would. Lawler re-
ceived a telegram yesterday indicating
that the signatures to his petition now
reach Ga, 491, and the post office officials
say frankly that such petition for indi-
vidual appoin tment was never before
heard of here Lawler will remain here
