Cali for a Caucus of Senator's.
Senator German said this afternoon
that he had issued a call for a demo-
cratic caucus of the senate TO convene
Monday morning at 10 o'clock. 1t can
not be ascertained whether the caucus
Will have other subjects than the tariff
under consideration and it is even as
serted by some of that the tariff will not
be considered at all. a statement which
is supported to some extent by the fact
that the finance committee is called to
meet at the same hour that the caucus
will convene for the purpose of consid-
ering the tariff bill. There is no doubt,
however, that the original purpose Of re-
questing the issuance Of the call was
that Of comparing notes and trying to
reconcile differences on the subject Of the

senators sin Working on the Tariff
Bill.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-The demo-
cratic members of the senate are much
disturbed over the situation concerning
the tariff bill They used the whole holt
day to make a decided effort to agree
upon the features of the bill so as to in
sure its passage. They did not make
marked progress, according to all re-
ports. and they will continue their efforts
tomorrow and Saturday undisturbed by
other official business. as the senate has
adjourned until Monday.
Whether the call for a caucus, which
was circulated today. shall be eonsid-
cred seriously will depend upon the sue
cess of the democratic senators in reach
ing an agreement without this confer
ence The call was circulated quite Wig
orously for a short time during the early
part Of the session. and after about fif-
teen names had been secured the effort
was suspended 1t was presented, as a
rule to senators who are known to be
urging changes ia the bill the result
being that many Of those in accord with
the subcommittee on tariff were ignor-
ant of the fact that the call was in cir
culation when spoken to upon the sub
jet. There Is no doubt that a sufficient
number OF signatures had been secured

TO insure the calling of the caucus. as
only FIVE are required for that purpose
but it would appear that the signers do
not intend pressing the call if a salts
factory agreement can be arrived at
without a caucus, and Senator German
who is chairman of the democratic eau
Gus. said late this afternoon when asked
if the caucus would be called that there
was a possibility that the cali might not
be pressed, ana that ne would not de-
eide on the matter of calling a caucus
until tomorrow.
There is little doubt but that Mr.. Cor
man is in accord with the movement for
a caucus, for il developed this afternoon
that he was present at the conference
i'm Senator Buffers room earlier in the
day. in which the circulation of the call
was decided upon. Six senator's took
part in this conference-AIessrs German.

movement ag8inSt the bill as pre-
pared by the subcommittee was more
clearly outlined today than at any previ-
Gus time It includes senators specially
interested in securing a duty on sugar,
coal and various manufactured articles
These senators contend for higher duty
than the subcommittee is willing TO con-
Cede in the interest of harmony and en-
tire unity on the tariff bill within the
democratic party. The coal men say
that 30 cents per ton Will not prevent
the importation of large quantities of
Nova Scotia coal to New York and New
England and vigorously oppose any low
er rate than this.
The New York senators and Senators
Smith OF New Jersey and Brice of Ohio
find a variety of provisions in the bill
to which they object as affecting many
industries in their states They have
said very little as 10 their views with re-
gard 10 the bill. but there is very little
doubt as TO their attitude being antag-
onistic to il in its present shape though
the measure Of their opposition when it
comes to voting is uncertain.
The friends Of the finance committee
find some consolation in the prospect Of a
call fer a caucus for the reason, as they
say. that there would be majority
against the disseminated senator's. and if
these gentlemen should initiate the move
ment for the caucus and should partici-
pate in its proceedings they would be
bound by its decision.
1t is said that republicans are being
asked If they would support the bill in
case democratic senator's should vote
against il. Senator Pettigrew of South
Dakota and Senator Dubois of Idaho
both have been asked such questions,
and both have said emphatically that
il was not possible for the committee to
agree ON and report a bill which would
insure their votes.

THE SESSION N DETAIL.
Numerous Roll Calls tn FruItIcss
Attempt 10 Adjourn.


Washington's birthday was ushered
into the house Of representatives with
a series OF dramatic incidents which may
possibly eliminate with legal proceed
ings against the sergeant-at-arms for
false Imprisonment Of members OF con-
gress- Sergeant-at-arms Snow, acting by
virtue Of the general warrant of arrest
issued last Monday. has been apprehend-
ing members wherever they could be
found. The warrant contains the names
Of fifty-six congressman.
AIr. Snow began last night to arrest
congressman on the floor Of the house
on warrants charging them with alb
sence Monday. This was in accordance
with a colloquy between Speaker Crisp
and the sergenat-at-arms during the
session yesterday. Mr. Snow asked if
he was expected 10 arrest members on
the floor. Mr.. Crisp answered that the
sergeant-at-arms was expected to "exe-
cute the order" This was accepted as
meaning that arrests on the floor should
be made and Mr. Snow at once began
10 carry this idea into effect. lie ar
rested seven congressman as they sat I'm
their seats. Deputy Hill made as many
more arrests. In each case the member
was tapped on the shoulder and then
told that he was released on parole TO
report when required.
This morning the arrests began again
and continued until interrupted by a
stirring scene. Representative Cummings
OF New York came down the middle aisle
OF the house just as the session was
about TO open. Deputy Hill stepped UP
TO him and notified him by virtue
OF the warrant he held Mr. Cummings
would be placed under arrest and his
parole taken. The congressman flushed
and took the matter seriously. He
stepped back and in bitter language de-
nounced the effort 10 arrest him. He re-
fused TO recognize the validity Of the
warrant

Cummings. that if you touch me you

there would be serious trouble, as Mr.
Cummings plainly intimated that he in
tended to resent the slightest touch in
dicating arrest by the use Of force. The
deputy quickly withdrew. however, as
the orders of the sergeant-at-arms are
to avoid indignities 10 congressman in

The prospects Of securing a quorum

4 Democratic Caucus VIII Consider
the Means.
Representative Holman of the demo-
cratic caucus of the house will call a
caucus at an early date to consider d
change in the house rules by which menu
bers may be compelled to vote to make
a quorum. The call is in response to
written request signed by 104 democratic
members. The request is the direct re-
suit of the uproariOus demonstration in
the house yesterday. Representative
Paynter of Kentucky circulated the cali
and secured an even hundred names last
night and more this morning. There was
a rush TO get on tire paper. 1t contains
the names of leading democrats of the
house, among them being Cultivate Of
Ohio, a member of the committee on
rules. The name of Mr. Bland is not on
the call. for while he is severe i'm deprecaJ-
ing the disorder of yesterday, he says
public opinion should rebuke those re-
sponsible for it and that change of rules
is not desirable. The New Workers are
also an exception. They are not anxious
TO strengthen the rules and thus in
crease the chance Of the passage of a
bill such as the one now pending. With
these exceptions the call represents all
shades of opinion i'm the house. the anti
silver men as we'll as the silver men.
Numerous plans for strengthening the
rules are under consideration. The one
most generally approved is to provide
that the attention of the speaker may
be directed to the fact that a member
is present and not voting. Thereupon
the speaker may direct that the member
be brought to the bar of the house and
his name be recorded as present to make
a quorum. 1t is said that this obviates
the criticisms of the Reed rule" i'm the
method Of counting a quorum. The pro-
posed. rule would be guarded by the
formality of bringing members to the
bar OF the house where there would be
no question as to their actual presence.
The feeling is so strong that some
democrats are ready TO accept Reed
rules'' on the quorum question without
any excuses or explanation.

A man named Alfred Retclaff, another
victim of the shotgun, lies at the Receiv-
ing Hospital.
Yesterday morning Retclaff, an en-
ploye of the Eagle Confectionery estab-
lishment on X street, near Ninth in COM
pany with man named w. Nagel, went
out after ducks. They went first TO
Florin and from there to Franklin, to
shoot on the lake near there. Both guns
were in the wagon, between them, the
loads not having been taken out, and
while returning, about mile this side OF
that place, in some manner one OF the
guns was discharged, the load passing
through Retclatf's right arm, about four
inches above the elbow, Iacerating the
Resh terribly.
He told Nagel TO drive to the city as
soon as possible. which was done, with
out stopping to bandage the arm. City
Physician Fowler WAS summoned and
found that the bone was SO badly shat
tered that the arm would have to be am
putated. Retclaff has sister, who was
notified as soon as possible of the acci-
dent, and came TO care fer her brother.

Justice Devine has rendered decision
IN the case of Charles Heisen VS.. An
drews ct al. in favor Of Heisen.
The SUIT was to recover the sum of S3G
and interest thereon, and grew out OF
notes given to Il book agent named O'Cal-
laghan by defendants. O'Callaghan was
a book agent, and took from a large
number OF customers notes agreeing TO
pay tor set of books in instaIlments
ana disposed of some of them to Heisen.
As some OF the instailmentS were not
paid, helsen brought suit last October to
collect them and The defendants in that
suit sWore that they had signed blank
notes, although the notes III Heisen's
possession were regularly drawn and
signed.
Justice Devine renders long decision.
