The Democrats VIII Hold IA Caucus To-day
and Discuss the Matter
WASHINGTON, March The Demo.
Gratis will take the initial step looking
to the reorganization of the Senate to-
morrow morning. caucus will be
held for the purpose OF determining
what shall be done by tho party that is
now in full possession OF every branch
OF the Government. According to all
presidents the first thing is to reorgan-
iZe the committees, which practically
control legislation. The Democrats
have been quietly canvassing the stu.
alton and preparing for the work that is
to DO begun tomorrow.
Of course, the minor committee chair
manships, which have been held by
Democrats under Republican rule, will
by the same courtesy be given to the
party that is now in tho minoriry.
Judging by the expressions given out
by leading members OF tho Democratic
party, there will not be much delay in
the election OF officers of the Senate,
although this may occasion protractcd
contest. 1t is the general opinion that
before the extra session of tho Senate
adjourns, full organization will be
effected and the Democrats will be in
power with all that word implies II
the present Senate succeeds in reor-
ganizing by the election of officers, it
IL said that it will be the first time such
a thing was ever accomplished at an
extra session of the Senate

THE FIREWORKS.
A Magnificent Pvrotechnic Display in
Washington Monday Night.

WAsHINGTON, March 6.-Incidental
to the Inauguration festivities was the
illumination OF tho Capitol building and
Pennsylvania avenue and the display of
fireworks on the monument grounds.
Those were to have taken place Satur-
day night, but, owing principally to tho
Indictment weather of Saturday, they
were postponed until to night.
The citizens Of Washington are noted
for their loyalty in attendance upon
public celebrations Of all kinds, and to.
night proved no exception to the rule.
Shortly after night set in people
swarmed to Pennsylvania avenue from
all parts of the city and the crowds that
congregated there, and later on at the
Washington monument grounds, were
simply immense. The avenue and
grounds were black with moving forms,
and it was with difficulty that the cable
cars and other vehicles made their way
through them.
Nine electric suns, placed on stands
twelve feet high, in front of the capitol
illuminated that building. The effec.
was very fine and the structure being
on hill, its fine sharp outline was Wis
ible miles away. The lighting of the
avenue was effected by forty illumina-
lions and these supplemented by re.
volving suns at the Treasury Depart.
ment completed a scene of brilliancy
which was the subject of much admit
ration. But the entertainment of the
evening was the pyrotechnical display in
the monument grounds, where for about
an hour crowds were treated to per-
feet fusilade of explosives following
each other in rapid succession and in.
Guiding all the numerous device known
to pyrotechnic art.
There were half dozen or more set
figures in the display, chief Of which
were the following: George Washing
ton. equestrian statue 4Ox4O feet in size;
Andrew Jackson, equestrian statue of
similar size, and Columbia. There were
two others, however, that created more
than usual amount of applause and
enthusiasm. These were devices with
portraits of Harrison and Morton and
Cleveland and Stevenson, the latter OF
which bore the motto. Public Office is
4 public trust"

to the county court OF Smytho county,
Va, an indictment found against oseph
II. Carrico, for tho murder Of James
Nelson, and TO deliver Carrico to the

GINA. Carrico was an internal revenue
officer and alleged that he killed Nelson
in self-defense, while Attempting TO
arrest him for violating tho whisky tax
laws of the United States.
Carrico when arrested by State OIL
Ger petitioned Judge Paul for trial by
the Federal courtand the Judge granted
the petition on the ground that Carrico
was acting under virtue OF the laws of
the gene raj government. The case ex.
cited considerable interest, the State
asserting that its sovereign rights had
been invaded. The court in it's opinion
by Justice Gray says that tho case had
not progressed to the extent necessary
before its removal from the State to the
Federal courts could be secured.

CAPITOL TOPICS,
Mileage Allowed.

A dozen Senators had a spasm of con.
science yesterday afternoon and voted to
abstain from the mileage proposed in the
little urgent deficiency bilr' that went over
from the House. Senator PETER started it
going. and one by one the statesmen who
thought they were not entitled to the mile
age for the regular session. since they had
been paid for the extra session, arose and
told why. The contention was that the
law allows but one mileage for each regu-
lar session, and has never recognized the
right of Senators to mileage for the extra
sessions. Senator German said that he
probably had less interest in the mileage
question than any other Senator, but he
thought there was an undenis BILE right to
II under the circumstances. After nearly
an hours talk the proposition of Senator
PETER to eliminate the provision from the
bill was voted down, Al to L. and the bin
was passed In its entirety, including the
provisions for the months extra pay to
employees. and the pay for the clerks TO Sem
ators for the long session of 1890.

DR.. Sunderland. as chairman of the mass
meeting of citizens held Tuesday evening,
called to devise means for relieving the
poor, was authorized to appoint a COM
mittee Of five to act with the District Conn.,
missioners in urging Congress to make an
appropriation Of $4,000 Immediately for i'm
provement of suburban streets and roads,
IN order to furnish work for residents of the
District out of employment. Dr.SunderIand
has announced the committee as follows:
Lawrence Gardner, A. T. Britton, Be-iah
wilkins. I. w. Noyes and NJ. l. Weller
The District Commissioners had a confer
ence this morning with the committee.
Messrs. Gardner, Britton and Weller OF the
committee were present. Capt Powell re-
lated talk he had yesterday with Repre-
sentative Dockery. who. during the alb
sence of Chairman Compton of the sub
committee on appropria lions on the District
OF Columbia, is the acting chairman. The
captain said Mr.. Dockery expressed himself
as familiar with the situation, but did not
think there was any possible chance for
legislation until after the holidays. Upon
this statement it was decided not to take
any further steps in the matter as far as
Congress is concerned until after the holi-
day season.

RECEIVED CONGREssMEN.
The President Relaxed the RuIes
Against Visitors fn Office Hours.

The President today relaxed his rules
against the reception of visitors during Of
flee hours, and gave audience to nearly
twenty congressman. Most of these got
into the cabinet chamber through the inter
cession OF Assistant Private Secretary
Pruden. They pleaded that their business
was important and required a personal in
terview with the President before they left
the city for the holidays. There was one
visitor whose presence caused some com.
ment, because of his bitter opposition to The
Presidents Hawaiian policy. This was Sem
ator Frye of Maine The nature of his bus
mess with the President just at this time
is not dfvulged. Among the other visitors
was Secretary Morton. escorting Mr.. Dab
ney and Mr.. Willets, the incoming and ont
going assistant secretary OF agriculture.

VIEWED AS SHARP PRACTICE.
The Manner Of Reporting the substt-
tute for the Boutelle and HIT Ress-
lutfons.

The Manner Of Reporting the subssi-
tute for the Boutelle and HIT Ress-
luttons.
There was lively episode in the House
today when Mr.. McCreary reported back to
the House a substitute for the resolutions
OF Messrs. Hit and Boutelle concerning
the action of President Cleveland IN the Ha-
waiian matter. IL was, apparently, the
purpose Of Mr.. McCreary to play a trick
upon the House, whereby these resolutions
might be deprived of their privilege and
buried in the House calendar. Under the
rules OF the House a privileged resolution
may be reported by a committee at any
time. and IL IL is reported during the ordl-
nary Call Of committees. it goes on the cal
endar like other reports which have no
privilege. and thereby loses its privileged
Character
Evidently for the purpose OF destroying
the privileged character Of this report, Mr.
McCreary this morning made his report
during the call Of committees and the
Speaker sent the matter 10 the calendar,
which was proper enough under the rules
The course of Ar. McCresry was obviously
Unfair. and an earnest protest was made
by Messrs. Boutelie and Reed and the
Speaker theoretically left the matter open
for considera ton by the House at q future
time. While the Speakers ruling was per
fectly right and the only one he could
make under the circumstances, the action
of Mr.. McCreary in making his report In
that manner was violation Of the prac-
tees OF the House which Is not usually
sanctioned.
Result of Inadvertencs.
The explanation IL given and generally
acquiesced in by both sides that Mr. Nc
Creary's course was not owing to any de-
sign to prevent its consideration. since an
agreement had been reached between the
republicans and the democrats OF the for
eign affairs committee that the resolution
vas 10 be reported. and not to be acted on
until after January 8. With this agreement
there appears no object In reporting 81 In
the manner In which Il Was reported. and
IL is generally believed that Il was merely
the result of an inadvertence, and that
there will be no difficulty In reaching the
matter after the holidays
