WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The Demo-
cratic caucus today was rather warm.
One of the senators said concessions had
been made in the bill in favor of certain
interests at the point of the bayonet.
Brice said if concessions were made to
the sugar interests to catch votes to
help carry the bill, and to other interests
west OF the Mississippi river, he did not
see what wan left for the representatives
OF his state and of the eastern states, ex-
cept to get their guns and force them at
the point of the bayonet, as the others
had done.
The caucus decided TO put machinery
for the manufacture of cotton on the
free list.
When the roll of states was called
White of California, the Alabama sena-
tors and German reserved their speeches
till tomorrow, when it is expected they
will close the general debate. The pro-
gramme then is that the bill will then
be gone over by schedules and the COM
mittee instructed by the suggestion or
votes of the caucue as to what changes
shall be made. That was the under
standing when the caucus adjourned
this evening, though it may be upset
and some new programme sprung be-
fore the closing speeches.
Sentiment indicated disposition to
allow revenue duty on sugar, but moth.
ing in the way of discrimination or pro-
lection for the refined article.
There was talk for coal and iron and
for lead by various senators, but very
little could be shown as to how the sem
stors viewed these matters.
The eastern senators opposed the iu-
come tax strenuoualy, but the impress
sion is that there will not even be de-
msnded vote on the proposition to
strike 1t out.
The fight for coal was led hy the West
| Virginia senators.
White OF California 10 quite well satis-
| fed with the bill nc prepared BY the
committee, the fruit and wine schedules
being as good as be could expect.
The members of the finance commit
tee feel that they can at any time secure
a majority of the caucus. but they say
they do not wish to resort to harsh
measures in their desire to present
bill which will be sure OF solid party
support and prevent the airing of party
differences in open senate. They will
not resort to this test for the present.

Both Ways.
A Proposition to Bring 10000 People
from York State.
The Atchison Makes . $50 Rate from

Fe officials in making the railroad cut
botn ways. "We wouldn't have OBJ
iected so much if the low rate had been
made applicable only to westbound
traffic." said General Passenger Agent
Goodman. The explanation, however,
seems to be very easily found in the fact
that great majority of the people from
the east who are at present in California
are possessed of return tickets, so that
the business that will be done under the
new schedule will be with new Gus
tomers-people living in California
who may desire to go east.
STARTLING PROPOSITION.
Assistant General Passenger Agent
Donaldson was treated to a surprise
yesterday. A business-like gentleman
dropped into his Office and unfolded q
proposition to bring 10000 persons out
from New York state and that vicinity,
provided he could get rate that would
be satisfactory. AS an evidence OF good
faith, he made Mr.. Donaldson tender
of a 10000 check. His proposition is
to bring 5000 people out at one time and
1000 at another. The startling proper
tions of the proposition took away the
breath of the Southern Pacific repre-
tentative, and he took the matter under
consideration.

Secretary Herbert today sent to Cum
mings of the house committee on naval
affairs letter indorsing the project of
rescuing the Kearsarge. The secretary
urged that any action toward rescue be
taken at once. The naval committee
therefore sought to secure immediate
consideration for bill framed according
to the secretary's suggestions. Bland
demanded that the silver debate pro-
ceed, adding that the Kesrssrge rescue
and other projects would have to wait
until the silver bill was disposed Of.

this means her disgrace could be for
