Probable Outcome.

The republican Senators in the city at
tended the caucus almost without excep-
ticn. 1t appears probable that the caucus
will agree to allow the resolution for the
appointment of Senator White to a place
on the finance committee to pass tomorrow
1t is also probable that they will indorse
the Murphy resolution. with an amendment
discharging the france committee from the
further consideration of the four supple
mental bills and postponing action on them
until next December. II is believed that the
Louisiana and &C nservative democratic Sen
ators, as well as the populists, would unite
with them in this course.

however, that even at present only half
the usual number of cars Of dressed meat
have been received and at if the block
ads is kept up. no more meat can arrive
In addition TO the difficulty in shi 3ping
the dressed meat from Chicago, the
packers are receiving no cattle from the
West for killing. Usually their supply
is only two days ahead Of shipments.
Dressed cattle are shipped forty eight
hours after they are received alive in
Chicago.
Generally the advance in the price OF
beef has been $l59 TO So hundred
pounds. Just before the strike, 10 Is
said, there was glut Of meat in the
market and the packers were selling at a
loss Of nearly 81 on a hundred, with
beef at and z cents a pound. Taking
this into consideration, the rise, they
state, makes the present price lower than

THE BONE or CONTENTION.
The Pines Hotel at Barnegat Park DE
stroyed by Fire In "A Mysterious Way.

The Pines Hotel at Barnegat Park De-
stroyed by Fire In Mysterious Way.
A dispatch from Toms River, N. j.,
announces that the Pines Hotel at Bar
negat Park, the army and navy officers
resort, was burned to the ground to day,
the FIRE starting between 8 and 10 a m.
The origin of the FIRE is unknown aud
seems very mysterious. II was fret
noticed in the northeastern corner Of the
hotel, in room that has been un-
occupied for some time and was used as
q storeroom. To add to the mystery, the
building and its contents were unin-
sured, the policies having run out
within the past month and not been
renewed, through neglect At the time
of the fire a number of guests were at
the hotel, and these have taken refuge
at different cottages and at Toms River.
The hotel was built in 1890 by the
Barnegst Park Company, and cost $40
600 exclusive Of the furniture. Il was
fitted up with an electric light plant,
gas, steam heat, etc After the Barne-
gat Park Company went into the hands
of the receivers the hotel was tangled up
in litigation. It was purchased at one
sale by Gideon w. Marsh the builder,
on lien claim. and at another by the
Holland Trust Company.
The indictment OF Lieutenant Farrow,
formerly of Laurel, and Hiram 7, Down
ing, an ex clerk of the Orphans Court OF
Sussex county, for perjury, was in con-
sequence of certain testimony they gave
relative to these transfers, the hotel
being the real bone of contention.

oil Attacking the Police Department

message 30 City Council upon city affairs.
He declared that all our municipal evils
sprung from the special legislation
for the city enacted at Dover.
The Police Commission had been created

by scandals. The cost Of the department,
he claimed. was at present $76 coo per
annum, or $50, 600 more than the amount
expended by Reading, a city of equal
size Of Wilmington
He recommended that the annual ap.
preparation for the Street and Sewer
Department, which Is now $l40 600, be
restricted to 800, 1000. Also a reduction
OF the water rates, as the prevailing
rates caused q surplus amounting 20
5000. coo ia ten years. A change OF he
methods Of the collection of county taxes
was suggested. as was also the urging
Of a gradual reduction OF the city tax
rate, which Is now $3.50 per 500
