art of breaking, training, handling and
driving reindeer. Their business here is to
teach the natives of Alaska how TO manage
reindeer, of which about seventy-tiye
have been brought from Eastern Siberia
to Port Clarence.
Since the importation Of the reindeer
the Alaskans have been experimenting
with them. and the death rate in Port
Clarence has gone UP several per cent
AS the reindeer bid fair TO becore the
ruling race in Alaska, it was decided
that something must be done TO subdue
them. The Laps have the reputation
of knowing all there is TO be known
about these animals. so Mr.. William a.

up a number of the natives and bring
them here. He went four months ago.

REPUBLICANS CAUCUS.
They Hope to KIN tho Tariff Bill I'm the
Senate by Proiongipg Debate.

WASHINGTON. u. c., MAY 1.-THE
Republican members of the Senate held
a four hours caucus at the residence of
Senator Sherman tonight. Although no
vote was taken on the question of party
policy of the tariff bill. when she caucus
adjourned at midnight there was n
strong feeling among those who attended
ii that the bill would be defeated. Almost
every senator present. and there was n
very full representation, had something
to say. the majority endorsing the policy
that has been pursued by Senators Allison.
Aldrich, Hale. and Chandler. Reasonable
debate will be insisted upon. it being
the impression that debate of six weeks
or two months will kill the bill The
minority will insist upon the present
bounty on domestic sugar with free raw
sugar admitted from abroad They be-
lieve by the aid OF some Democratic votes
they can put this provision in the bill.
one result OF the caucus, said a promi-
nent Republican tonight, would be the
cessation OF any talk on the par. of the
Republicans that the Democrats can pass
the bill. The fight will be renewed with
vigor, and 1t was claimed tonight that
with a solid party 1t was IN the power
or the Republicans to finally defelt the
measure The six hours a day now set
apart for the discussion OF the peniinc
measure will be used. but II .he Demo-
Gratis attempt to hold longer sessions or
