vene, without accomplishing anything,
save an agreement 10 reconvene at Z
o'clock to-day IL an adjournment Of the
Senate could be procured It is under
stood that the caucus was devoted
largely TO speech making and the con-
sideration Of the policy Of the party
with reference to the tariff oil when it
shall reach she Senate.
Among others who made speeches
were Senators Butler. Pugh and Nc
Pherson. an OF whom spoke 10 a con-
ciiaJory tone and advised the making
sure OF a Democratic majority Of the
tariff oill before bringing &c into the
Senate, which assurance could only be
reached through a general conference
of Democratic Senators. such as could
be had in caucus. There was no Op-
position expressed 60 this view, and
when motion was made that the
caucus adjourn till 1 o'clock, the motion
carried without division. The bin was
not read in the caucus, nor was there
reference made 90 any of its schedules.
None of the points on which the Sen
ators constituting the caucus are known
10 differ were taken up.
Later developments concerning the
caucus OF this forenoon are 90 the effect
that there was more or less reference
TO an interview of Senator Brice pub
Ished in a New York paper. in which
be was quoted as saying that ths tariff
0ill 90 be- presented % the Senate, had
been shaped by three eX-rebel briga-
diers, an OF whom we're ideaiists, ref
erring TO Senators Jones, Mills and
Vest
Mr. Vest is said 20 have spoken sharp
ly in reply % this statement and Mr..
Brice % have replied with no less feel
ing.
Mr. Brice said that he was not COM
planning of the wool schedule, but that
be objected % the general method OF
procedure and that he thought the
party in the Senate should have been
consulted as such IN the shaping or the
bill.
While the interview OF Senator Bricc
was being discussed, the Ohio Senator
took the floor and said that 10 was not
So much a question OF who made the
statement OF the manner in which the
bin was prepared as 90 whether 10 was
true or not.
Several Senators cOncurred in this
and declared that the criticism which
Senator Brice bad made Of the manner
of preparing the bill had resulted in
bringing it before the caucus, and ia
that respect a great deal had been
gained by the caucus.
Among the Senators who, 10 is as
serted. coucurred in senator Brice's
statement 90 the caucus are Senators
Morgan, Butler Faulkner, Camden and
Others FROM the South.
AT $3.50 the caucus adjourned until
tomorrow at 10 o'clock, after a cOntln-
uous four hours session.

.Sreetai lslsgraus 20 ~ Rsgf1sf--
WAsHrNGroN, February 26-The
Democratic Senators had a long aud
satisfactory talk in caucus to-day on
the Wilson bin. The discussion en-
braced the whole policy Of the party on
tariff reform and the general features
of the Wilson bin embodying this
policy.
This discussion showed that the tenn
per of the great majority Of the Demo
cratic Senators was reasonable and az
forded the most ample ground for the
beuef that an understanding will be
reached which will insure a solid Dem
cratic support for the bin when it comes
into the Senate The great danger
IN this caucus consideration OF the Dill
is that it may be SO changed as 90 de-
strov its original character, but the
friends of the bin are in large major
inv in the caucus and they know they
are strong enough TO avert this danger.
They are very aux Gus 90 satisfy all
reasonable demands for changes TO or
der Co sohdfy the Democrats behind
,ba bil and insure more speedy
action on the measure, but 90 accom-
Dlish they do nos believe it will be nee
essary 20 permit notifications which
will alter the general scheme of the bill
AS it came from the House.
Senators who would consent 20 talk
all about the proceedings OF t0-day's
caucus said they had no doubt that mat
ters would be arranged amicaoly to-
morrow by reasonable concessions on
hnlL siIn.
