DECIDED TO RsoRGANizE.

Senate Democrats VIII Make Effort
Action Proposed.
| WASHINGTON. March ~ - The senate
Democratic caucus yesterday determined
upon the names of the officers of that body
| 30 be elected, and also decided 20 present
| resolutions looking to their election at to-
days session. 1t is not thought likely
that it will be possible for the programme
| to proceed through if the Republicans ara
determined to prevent a reorganization at
this session, and the leading Democrats
do not believe it would be policy to pro-
long the session merely for the purpose of
deciding who shall temporarily occupy a
few offices.
Men Selected for the Offices
The caucus nominated ex-Congressman
William r Cox. OF North Carolina for
secretary; Colonel Richard Bright, of In
diana, Tor sergeant-at-arms, and DR.. Nil
burn. the present chaplain OF the house,
for chaplain. At to3ay's session three res
olutions will be presented. The first reads:
Resolved, Tha, Isham u. Harris, a sena-
tor from Tennessee. be and Is hereby e!ect
ed president pro tempore Of the senate"
There will be ne opposition to the adoption
of this. The second reads: Resolved.
That the senate Will proceed to elect
secretary. sergeaut-at-arms and a chap
lain"
To this there viii undoubtedly be opposi-
ton and the resolution will go over to the
next meeting of the senate A single OBJ
lection being all that is necessary to en-
sure this The fight will come up on this
resolution and as in 1861 and 81, under
similar circumstances the minor party has
Won and prevented reorganization. it is
almost safe to predict that il viii be de
feated. In fact certain senator's have ad.
mltsed the probability of defeat
Few Holdovers Named
The third resolution provides by name
for the retention of certain officers now on
the roll as employees of the sergeant-at-arms
and secretary, among them being four or
five Republicans. Among them are Amsie
Smith, who has been in charge of the SEN
ate document room for the last twenty
years, Colonel Williams. OF Ohio. the bill
clerk; Colonel Morrows of Missouri, the
executive clerk; Charles B. Reed of Maine,
deputy sergeant-at-arms and Librarian
Crook 1t is understood here that those
on the reserve list must be persona gra5a
to the senators from the state to which
they are cIedited.

weather between those dates there would
be another nail hit, another triumphant sue
cess but suppose the Avis prophecy, OF fine
weather, almost equally worthless as a
prophecy, should prove to be right, what then
would become of the almanac man ? Well,
he would have as many followers as ever,
possibly even some unoOnvefted readers OF
these lines. For these prophets have several
things in their favour. First of all the weather,
like many other things, has It's degrees. We
have, for example, some clouds about and
a little wind blowing the believer IN the
almanac opens it and reads stormy, and he
says FTrue, do you see those clouds, do you
hear the wind %, or he finds "faiT" and he
says 20 yes, there is nothing in those few
clouds, and the wind is only moderate after
all" Then again the weather is not always
the same in different places, even Of the
same region, (Which consideration alone by tho
way, ought to 5|capsi2e our faith IN weather
predictions covering a large area) and this
gives a chance Of escape to the prophet, Tor
should the prophet say "rainy' while the
weather is actually fair, it is open to the be
lever to remark, "Poggins says 'rainy" and
rs Poggins seldom goes wrong, | am sure there
must be rain somewhere not fan of" Thus
Poggins is a fine fellow, whatever he says
and whichever way it goes, and we fear that
he will remain a fine fellow for a long time to
come yet

The weather waste of soft coal, as sciend-

On Tuesday the French Minister, accom-
panied by the gnnboats, left Bangkok. The
blockade nominaIly began on Wednesday,
but three days grace was given to neutral
ships to leave the blockaded port,-a fact
which seems to show that the French in
tend to declare a condition If belligerency.
Meantime it is to be noted that Germany and
Holland, a, well as England, have gunboats
at Bangkok. In the House Of Lords on Thurs
day Lord R~osebery once again defined Eng
lands attitude. We have refused in any way
to intervene in the dispute, OF to pronounce
on the merits Of the quarrel. All we have
done is to make provision for protecting
the life and property Of British subjects.
1t IS to be regretted that any one should
suspect in that provision can encourage
mem to the Siamese to persevele in a hopeless
resistance, Our only advice TO the Siamese
has been to come to terms as quickly as posi-
Bile with their powerful neighbour. THE block

law; but it is not yet notified. The terrific

selves to the necessity, chat we should no.

The Temps Of Wednesday publishes an
account Of how the French gunboats forcad
the passage of the Bangkok river. At 6 in
the evening, preceded by a steamer Jean
Baptiste Say they began the ascent of the
river and were at once frel on by the fort
commanding the channel, which is armed
with Armstrong guns. To this fire the
French ships replied and also to the fire Of
seven Siamase gunboats anchored in the
stream. The Jean Baptiste Say was hit
and put hor8 de combat: but the war vessels. in
spite Of he explosion of a submarine torpe-
do, went on and crossed The bar Just before
dark The noonstant, which was hit and
slightly injured by the Siamese, rammed and
sank one of the enemy's gunbOat, and the
'Comete' stopped the rife fire Of the Siam
ese training ship which had caused the death
Of two French gunners." Towards 8 O'Clock the
forts of Paknam opened fire at a range of a quar-
ter ola mile. The g~unboats all this time were
making ten knots against the stream. 1t does
not appear that the cannonade, taking place
as it did in a dark night had any effect on
the forts. At all events, our ships we've not
struck in the bulls. Al $50 the 1nconstantl
and ,Comete' anchored il front Of the French
Legation at Bangkok, having accomplished
an act Of rare daring. The Siamese projec-
tiles caused only slight damage" The French
have no doubt, the right 10 be proud Of their
sailors pluck and daring, but the odds were,
of course, as always, very much IN favour OF
the Power supported by "the resources OF
ClyIlIsaton."

The Bee Trfumphs.

The abuse and boycott that were
piled thick and fast upon the Sacra-
mento Bee, says the Truckee Republi-
can, will react with hundredfold ben
eft to that fearless paper. It is never
safe to abuse good paper for express
ing what everybody feels was but what
no one dares express except the editor.
ALI the people of Sacramento thought
'"Thank God" and the Bees sole
crime was to give expression to the
public sentiment. The enemies of the
Bee~expected to crush the McClatchey
boys by taking undue advantage of
Sacramentos soreness. AS usual, they
overreached themselves. We say as
usual, for the Bee has no enemies of
whom it should not feel proud, and it
always silences their bitterness as soon
as they open fire. 1t has done SO this
time, or has commenced to do SO, for
in the very midst of their abuse it
won.its mayorality contest 1t made

though the election came off as the
