DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Steering Committee Directed to Pre-
pare an Order of the Business
Which VIII BE Presented.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Today's Demo
cratic caucus directed the steering COM
mittee to prepare an order of the business
which will be presented for the considera-
ton of the Senate. The following will be
subjects of legisla ton:
A bankruptcy bill, bill for the con-
struct1on OF the Nicaragua canal, cur
rency bill.
Bills for. the admission of Arizona and
New Mexico.
"A bill involving the interests of the In
For the consideration of joint resolu-
tons of the House of Representatives on
the election of United States senators by
Guiding the appropriation bill as the
steering committee" may deem import
ant. That in their report to caucus the
steering committee shall provide the one
in which the above subjects of legislation
shall be considered. The caucus was in
session from z o'clock until 4:30 o'clock
today and almost the entire time was
devoted to the discussion of the first propo-
sition of Senator Daniels, instructing the
committee on rules to bring in an amend
1nent for a. cloture and the speeches were
at times very spirited.
Senators Vest, Villas, Berry and George
made speeches faVoring the proposition,
while Senators German, Morgan, Palmer,
Harris, Pugh and others. opposed it with
nervousness and warmth.
The speeches were in the same vein as
those which have been made in the
Senate, except that the speakers discussed
party questions with more freedom, point
ing out the fact that on one side the
Democrats would soon be in the minority
in the Senate and probably in protection
which the. present rules would afford.
while on the other side the advocates of
cloture urged the Importance of the sup
Elementary tariff bills, and admitted Veiy
frankly that there was TO possibility of
such action without a rule for the liTni-
Ia ton Of debate. The opponents of a
change evidently had the best of the argu
ment from the beginning. 1t is under
stood they even invoked the ghost of the
force bill and urged that if the Republic
cans should get in power they would re-
wise this measure.
The protest against the proposed change
was so general that when a vote was
taken no one considered it necessary to
ask for the ayes and nays When the
cloture provision was defeated the friends
of the tariff bill gave up the fight, con-
sidering it unnecessary to make any at
tempt to revive their consideration in
view of the opposition of a. majority Of
the Republicans and because of the fact
any determined opposition under the rules
would insure their defeat Hence II is
that those bills do not appear in the
official list of bills to be presented for the
consideration of the Senate. The order
for the preparation of a currency bill by
the finance committee carries with it in
structfons to take the recommendation of
the president and secretary of the treas
ury mo consideration;
1t is also understood feasible propo-
sition for The utilization of silver is to be
included in any currency scheme pre-
scented to or by the committee.
No meeting of the steering committee
has vet been called.

QUICK AS A FLASH.
A Train Robbery in Texas In Which
Over One Hundred Thousand Dol
lars Was secured.


Forth Worth, Tex, Dec. 6.-The east
bound Texas e Pacific passenger train
was held up at a trestle seven miles
west of here at $50 p. m. today. Sew
eral shots were fired from the front
end of the train and the passengers
were warned to keep their heads in
the windows. The train was detained
/ ten or fifteen minutes, during which
time those who caught a glimpse of
the proceedings saw three masked men
with guns levelled marching the en-
gineer and trainnnen in and out of the
baggage car. When they finished their
work the robbers made the engineer
back the train over a trestle, and while
it was crossing disappeared in a thick
forest. The passengers kept SO close
while the train was being robbed that
they did not know much about what
was going on. and the railroad men
and express officials will not make any
statement.
It is not known how much booty was
secured.
The robbers had possession of the
express car until they accomplished
their object. One valuable package is
known to have been obtained.
A train was held up and robbed at
this spot several years ago by a gang
under the leadership of the notorious
Joe Blunt.
The safe of the messenger was car
ried off. It is learned on good author
ity that upwards of one hundred thou
sand dollars was secured.
The passengers say the whole thing
was done so quickly that there was
little of a story to tell.
Later reports say that the robbers
got s31 900 in gold certificates, going
from San Francisco to Washington to
pay for bonds.

MOBBED A MINISTER.
A Clerical Gentleman Who Endeav-
ors to Kidnap His Own Child Gets
Into Trouble.


Chicago, Dec. GA. G. Johnson, pre-
siding elder of the United Brethren
church at Huntington, Ind, after an
unsuccessful attempt to carry off his
3-year-old son last night barely escaped
some rough treatment by a stockyards
crowd, which policeman held at bay.
Mr.. Johnson is also engaged in mercan-
tile business and has considerable pro-
perty. In the Salvation army in Hunt
ington Mrs. Johnson is enlisted. She
came to Chicago recently with the
avowed purpose of hearing General
Booth talk and of visiting her mother.
After she had gone Mr.. Johnson
claims he found that a. dashing lieu
tenant" of the army had some time be-
fore been transferred to Chicago. This
information caused him to come here at
once. After some little detective work
on his own hook he came to the con-
clusion that he would get his child from
the mother at the first opportunity and
return home. Last night while taking
his accustomed walk in front of the
house he saw the little one, whom he
seized and carried into a streea car.
Some children raised an outcry and the
neighborhood was quickly in an up
roar. The policeman who had seen
Johnson lettering joined in the chase
and caught the fleeing preacher. He
was pulled from The car; a score of men
lowered about and several struck at
him but the officer, holding them back
with his club, made his way to the pa
troll box. When the wagon reached the
place the street was packed with peo-
pie.
Mrs. Johnson. who was unaware that
her husband was in Chicago, followed
the wagon and the two met in Lieu
tenant Keliher's Office. Mr.. johnson told
his story of the Salvation army to the
lieutenant.
Most of his charges were denied by
Mrs. Johnson who in return charged
her husband with various improprieties.
Mrs. johnson was finally given the
custody of the child. Mr. Johnson.
much chagrined, announced his inten-
ton of returning at once to his home.

Denomination in Honor of the
Prince of Wales and Duke OF
York.

New York, Dec. GA special dispatch
TO the World from London says:
The arrival of the prince of Wales
and the duke of York in London on
Thursday is to be made the occasion OF
a big demonstration by the Tory West
End clubmen in recognition of the
princes efforts to arrange an Anglo
Russian agreement.
The effect abroad of this display,
which is regarded as an insiduous re-
vival Of jingoism, is awaited with the
keenest anxiety by the ministers who
already are profoundly alarmed by the
attitude of Germany, France and Aus
tria, owing to the premature Growing

England's situation has become so

T.Eg>J
From the Baltimore SUM-


A curious development of European poll
tics at present is the growing cordially
of the relations of England and Russia,
while al the same time the relations of
England and Germany grow cooler. The
Gar Nicholas II gives indisputable proofs
of his partially for England, notably by
singing out the Prince Of Wales for
special honor. The Prince is at st. Peters
burg by the invitation of the car, and
receives proofs of consideration of a
marked, not to say Cstentauous, charac-
ter. At the same time there is no good
word for Germany. On the contrary, the
Russian press criticises Germany for re-
fusing to cooperate with the other pow
ers to end the war in China. Now Italy
is so dependent upon England for pro-
lection as respects her coast cities, in
case of war with France that as Eng
land goes in a new arrangement OF the
political map of Europe so goes Italy
That means breaking up of the triple
Hungary to face the other powers. There
are signs that Lord Rosebery is trying to
placate France, gathering Russia, Eng
land, Italy and France into one happy
family.
The reason for this is the recent IN
friendly attitude of Germany toward Eng
land as respects the English treaty with
the king of Belgium, giving England
F'ranco-Gernan treaty hostile to. English
interests southeast of Lake Tchad and
Germany's refusal to join with England,
France and Russia in ending the. war
between China and japan. These things
but now that Bismarcks influence IS
dominant at Berlin a still more Anglo
Phobic policy is expected to prevail. Ger,
many say the English, has oeen treated
very kindly by England and makes a
poor return Hence, it is supposed,
new alignment designated to isolate Ger
many and Austria

The Cheers Were Fnint.

London, Dec. 6.-F'or several days past,
letters have been printed in the news
papers urging a demonstration to well
come the Prince Of Wales back to Eng
land as a recognition of his importaf nj
work in furthering the Anglo Russian en-
tente. For instance, a letter signed "Old
General" urged that space should be re-
served at the railroad station that the
Royal ciubland might fittingiy receive the
heir apparent
leaders on the subject today.
But when the Prince of Wales and
Duke of York arrived here today the
Duke of SAKE Coburg-Gotha, the Duke of
Cambridge and q few others composed the
thr0ng assembled to greet the prince.
Outside the station, il is true, a large
crowd was assembled, but the royal
basetellers were only feebly cf1eered

Johnson-Maher Contest was a Fig

JOhnson-Maber Contest Was a FizzIe
New Orleans. La. Dec. 6.-The John
son-Maber contest took place in the
presence of the largest number of spec
tators that ever assembled in the club
on a prize fight occasion The. men
fought for a purse of $500, of which
$500 was to go to the loser.
The men entered the ring about 9:15
O'Clock. The fight from start to finish
was a mixture of boxing, wrestling and
talking, with more than the usual abuse
by the tongue, which the principals gave
each other. Each lick seemed to be ac
companied by a curse, and in the TWEEN
ty-fourth round the men were wrestling
so fierceIy that the referee had to separ-
ate them.
From a scientific point of view the af-
fair was a magnificent fzZle, and the
ring in which the men fought was plow-
ed up to such an extent as to make the
audience believe that the men had been
fighting week
Maber was taller than his opponent
and should have won the battle though
he seemed to lack the physical form
necessary to do so.
In the twenty-fifth round, Maber being
forced down in the clinch took several
seconds on the floor and after rising the
men wrestled q little bit more. At the
end of the twenty-ffth round, Referee
Duffy's decision declaring the fight a
draw was received with rounds Of ap-
plause.
