THE PROPOSED CAUCUS.
Not Unlikely That II wiIibe Transformed
Into a Conference.


Into a Conference.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10,-The Democrats
In the senate are in good deal of trouble
over question OF caucus on the silver
question, and great secrecy is observed on
the subject. 1t Is learned. however, that
the requisite number of names had been
secured by Senator Vest TO the call
Tho effort Is now being made, however,
to have the proposed caucus turned into a
conference, and to accomplish this ii is not
improbable that one or two q those who
signed the request that Mr.. Vest oircu-
lated will have their names stricken from
that paper. This would leave it without
a majority and relieve the chairman OF the
caucus from the necessity OF acting. Dur
ing the course of yesterdays debate
number of Democrats declared their inten-
tion of not going into any binding caucus,
but indicated willingness to come to-
gether for the purpose of discussing the
question as Democrats merely. For this
reason tho caucus mny he transformed into
a conference, although that has not been
determined.
