Caucus On fitand's Bill.

Washington, d c., Feb. 19.-The
success of the filibuster against the
Bland silver bill, which has blocked
proceedings in the House for FIVE
days, to day forced the Democratic
advocates of the measure to invoke
the decree of caucus. and immedi-
ately after the adjournment Demo
cratic caucus was held in the hall of
the House to consider the situation.
There were present 130 Democrats,
but not Il Democratic member of the
New York delegation, all of whom
have joined in the obstructive move
ment, was present, nor in fact any
of the others who joined hands with
them. The presence, however, of
Mr.. Pence, the Colorado Popu|ist,
was significant. The sentiment in
the caucus, therefore, was all favor
able to the bill, and two resolutions
were adopted, one to keep the seign-
forage bill before the House TO the
exclusion of everything until dis.
posed of, and the other expressing
it az the sense of the caucus that it
was the duty of every Democratic
member to be present aud vote
either for or against the bill The
only difference of opinion existing
was as to the advisability of going
further than this and compelling
members to vote or be counted if
they refused to do So.
