OFFICERS OF TIE SENATE.
The Republicans to Fight Reorganiza-

The Republicans to Fight Reorganiza-
tion to the End.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-By practically
a unanimous vote the republican caucus has
decided to reject all offers of a compromi, e.
and contest the proposed democratic reor-
ganization of the elective officers of the
Senate to the end. The caucus was largely
attended, but was OF short duration. Nat
urally there was division of sentiment
as to what was best to be done
under the circumstances. but those in favor
Of contesting the proposed organization
we're largely in the majority. The vote
taken was decisive, and it is probable that
at the next executive session the uItimatum
of the caucus will be given to the demo-
Gratis. An effort will then be made to settle
the matter behind closed doors, and that
failing, the fight will be transferred to open
session. The republicans claim that they
are right, and when one Of the leading
senators was asked what it meant he re-
piled that it meant fight to finish. An
amusing feature of the case is that the re-
publicans think the democrats will not in
sist on proceeding at this time. and the
democrats assert that the republicans will
grow tired OF the struggle In a day or two.
1t is probable that no more caucuses on this
subject will be held by either party.

The Former Delegates Resign and
New ones Not apt to Be Sent.
WASHINGTON. March 23.-It was said at
the state department. this afternoon that the
resignation of all the delegates to the inter-
national monetary conference had been res
ceived, and that at the cabinet meet
ing tomorrow the question whether
or not a new body of delegates
shall be appointed will probably be
discussed and decided. The opinion is held
bv some persons who are In a position to
form intelligent views. that President
Cleveland has practically concluded not to
send another delegation 20 Brussels. If that
prove to be tho case, the minister TO Bel
gium will probably be designated to attend
the conference as the representative OF the

oARL1sLn AND zee TARIFF.
The Secretary to Prepare an Outline
for n Bill.

for n BllI.
WASHINGTON. March 2S.-Secretary Car
Isle, it is stated on good authority, intends
to give much Of his time this summer to
consideration of the tariff, with view to
SO thoroughly familiarizing himself with
the subject as to indicate in a general way
an outline for the formation OF a tariff
bill by the next democratic House.
He in no sense intends to
prepare a bin in detail to be submitted TO
the ways and means committee Of the next
House, but rather to be 10 position to give
them all the assistance and information
that they may need in the preparation of q
tariff bill that will carry out in It's word and
intent the spirit of the tariff plank in the
democratic platform. Nearly every mail that
reaches the treasury department contains
suggestions from statisticians, aud others as
to the compilation of the tariff bill. Some
thirty or forty of these communications have
already been received, prominent among
them being that from the New York Re
form Club. The general outline Of the New
York Reform Clubs tariff Droporsition cor
responds closely to the proposition submit
ted in 1885 by Edward Atkinson of Boston,
Mass, to President Cleveland and Secre-
tsry Manning. That proposition divided
the tariff as follows:
A-ATticles of food and animals.
B-Articles In crude condition which
enter into various proceeds Of domestic in
dustry.
C-Artiolss wholly or partially manu-
faotured for use as material in manufact-
ures and she mechanic arts.
D-Artioles manufactured ready for con-
sumption.
E-Artioles of voluntary use, luxuries,
etc.
Since that time the annual report OF the
bureau of statistics has contained a table
showing the duty collected on each of these
classes of articles. From this report of
1892 it appears that Sl73,097,670 duty was
collected, of which $40 300, 226 we're collected
under class A; S14,048,4 ,42S under class b.
$22,2lS, ,4l2 under class c.; $40, ,S27, S0S under
class ID, and $40, ,702, 796 under class f.
Treasury experts assert that the proposi-
tion of the New York Reform Club places
articles Of class A and B wholly on the free
list, while many of the articles In class c
also placed on the free list IL this state
ment be correct the revenue derived from
customs would be decreased by the addition
TO the free list of articles now paying duty
to the amount of S24, ,34S, 75o, but might be
increased to some extent by increased i'm
portatious of articles under class c. on
which the duty is reduced. They figure,
however, that on the present basis OF re-
ceipts and expenditures the proposed
changes would result in an annual def
