SENATE ORGANIZATION.



OmclaI Announcement OF the Completion
OF the Caucus Work,
WASHINGTON, D, O., March 14,-The
Democratic caucus finished its labors to.
day. 20 far as tho reorganization OF the
committees OF the senate are concerned.
The session OF the caucus was not so
long rs was anticipated, despite the fact
that there was some discussion on the
subject of the reorganization Of the
elective offices OF the senate.
The committee provided chairman
ships for Senators PETER and Kyle, the
Peoples members, and permitted Mr..
Stewart to retain tho craftsmanship Of
tho committee on mines and mining
which he held under tho Republican
organization. The Republicans arc
given control Of eleven committees, just
the number they gave the Democrats.
Mr.. Faulkner, OF West Virginia, gets
the Craftsmanship OF the committee on
territories, and Mr.. Camden has the
Craftsmanship OF tho importunt COM
mittee on railroads, and 10 on the inter-
state commerce committee.
Tho committees were published IN
yesterdays INTELLIGENcEn.
AT the conclusion OF the caucus MIR.
German sent copy OF the list to the
Republican committee, which was in
session in the rooms of tho committee
on appropriations. Ihe Republicans
decline to give out anything tonight,
but will report to a Republican caucus
tomorrow.
1t is said there has been quite n pres
sure brought to bear upon the commit
tee to remove Mr.. Stewart from the Re-
publican representation on tho commit
too on appropriations, and it Is not un.
likely that that will be done in view Of
tho fact that he has been kept by the
Democrats as chairman OF the commit
tee on mines and mining. The north
western senator's are urging that that
section OF the country is entitled to II
representative upon that important
committee and will insist that some ono
OF their number be given the place.
Tho committee changes will proba-
bly, receive the sanction OF the senate
tomorrow by resolution and the old
chairmen will then give up the rooms
they have occupied and the Democrats
will be in possession Of that important
branch OF the senate. Nominations
will then be received and promptly
acted upon.

PARIS. MprCh i4.-There was another
exciting scene in the chamber OF de-
puties to-day. NJ. clagny said that he
wished to question NJ. P. do Boisserin
regarding his attack yesterday on Ma
dame Cottu.
President Peror refused to permit the
question to be offered for the reason
that debate had been closed.

official report OF the debate had sup
pressed his expression that the govern
ment was Il government OF liars. Ap-
piause on tho right and cries OF protest
from the left.
NJ. Tirard. minister OF finance, left
his seat and walked toward Deroulede
shouting abusive terms at the Boulang-
ist champion. A general uproar fot.
lowed in all parts OF the chamber At
length quiet was restored and NJ. Tirard
returned to his place and proposed that
Deroulede should not be considered
excluded temporarily from the house.
Then Deroulede exclaimed III Rm
expelled / will 60 to the country and
declare that the chamber is thirsting
for lies and could not liston to tho
truth"
This created new sensation, and ul-
timately, aL tho request Of tho presi-
dent, Deroulode withdrew the offensive
expression.

Rev. A. b. Marshall, Of East Livel'

lecture last evening, on "Fho Cross Be-

good sized congregation, at the First
Presbyterian church.

ton of tho dress OF the women in Syria

tions OF the cross and crescent in that
portion OF the world was shown-the
first, O symbol Of Christianity that orig
mated in Palestine, the latter the sym.
bol OF MohammRdism, originating in
in Arabia. From the period when
Constantine the great made his en-
trance inte Rome and ConstsRtIRople.
that cross has ever been the guiding
symbol of the Christian.
The conflicts between the Mohamme-
dams and Christians, and the invading
campaigns OF tho crusaders, and their
defeat when the true cross was lost,
since which tho crescent has held sway,
were all described. To-day, he SAID, the
cross and its Christian significance arc
making themselves felt on oil sides.
Now, among the 150,000,0OO people
speaking tho Arabian language there
can be found Christian people and
churches and schools on all sides,

OF all with joy,
During the lecture Rev. Marahall de-
scribed his visit to the different por-

WHAT Is FAIR TREATMENTq
Tammany Anxious to Know How cleve-
lnnd Detlnes thu Torn.

New YoRK, March l4,-There appears
TO be some uncertainty as to what
share of President Cleveland's patron
age Tammany viii get. The Herald has
this to say on the subject;
Tammany leaders are in the dark
about appointments to New York fed
eral offices. They know the President
will please himself in making nomina.
tions to the important places, and they
rely upon general assurance given by
him to Richard Croker that Tammany
will be treated "iairly." Mr.. Cleveland
has not defined in exact terms his un-
derstanding OF what "iair treatment
would be, nor have Tammany COM
manders put forth any positive notions
on the subject. Anti-TammanY Demo-
Gratis are doing the talking. At the Re.
form Club they indulge in delightful
dreams Of "mschines" going to smash
and OF appointments from among their
number 10 the most pleasant and hon
orable offices. The drift OF their talk is
colored by information from Washing
ton that the President will give the coll
lectorship of the port to one OF their
people aud the posIolIice to Tammany
man.

was again crowded to-day when tho trial
OF Charles DeI.esseps, Baihaut and
their fellow defendants, was resumed,
NJ, Constaps, the former minister oi
the interior, was called to the stand.
lIe denied in emphatic language the
alleged assertion of NJ. Yves-Guyot to
the effect thsthe (Constans) had handed
to President Carnot n list OF deputies
implicated in the alleged bribery and
corruption connected with the Panama
lottery bonds bill. lie had never, he
declared, possessed such list. This
ended the examination OF NJ. Constana,
Lieut.. Lucen N. BonRparte, who ia
the French engineer prominently cou'
nectel with the efforts to prolong the
Panama canal enterprise, testified that
he remembered that NJ. Monchicourt,
official liquidalor OF the Panama Canal
Company, had mentioned eighteen
months ago that the directors OF the
Panama company had handed him q
sealed paper
Charles De Lesscps hastily arose and
denied this statement. lie said he had
given NJ. Monchicourt full account Of
all the expenditures, excepting one
million four hundred thousa nd francs,
the employment Of which he had fully
and candidly explained 10 the examin,
ing magistrate, NJ. Franqueville. This
declaration OF Charles De Lesseps
caused sensation aud the spectators
could be heard discussing the revelation
in loud whispers.
The deposition Of NJ. Monchicourt,
official receiver OF the Panama Canal
Company was read in court.
This deposition sets forth that Charles
De Lesseps had refused to communicate
the names OF the beneticiaries OF seven
million francs in bonds made payable
to bearer.
In the face Of the denial offered by
Charles DeLesseps, the court ordered
that NJ. Monchicourt should be exam.
ined before magistrate in relation to
the circumstances.
The counsel in tho case then pro.
cooded TO address the court, NJ. Boullay
condemned tho conduct Of Soinoury,
late chief Of the detective department,
toward the virtuotls and heroic N,

to Charles De LessepS, in his own in
terest and in the interest OF tho public,
to divulge tho names OF the 104 deputies
