CAUCUS HAS BEEN CALLED
Republican Congressman to Meet
at the Capital Nov. 80.
They VIII Nominate Officers for the
House and Transact Other
Party Business.

A formal notice, dated November l.,
signed by Thomas j. Henderson, chairman,
and w. B. Hooker, secretary, of the Re
publican caucus, was to-day issued and
forw arded 10 each Republican member of
the next House. The call is as follows
"A caucus of the Republican members
OF the Fifty-fourth Congress viii be held
mt the Hall OF the House OF Representatives,
Washington, ID. C., on the goth day OF No
veinber, 1885, at 8 O'Clock p. IN. of that
day, for the purpose Of nominating Officers
OF the House and OF traDsai citing such other
business as may come before such caucus. ~
Mr.. Henderson is an ex-Represcntative
from the Seventh Illinois district and is
a candidate for the office OF either clerk
or sergeant-at-arms Of the House. and is
fairly certain OF capturing one or the
other of these desirable places
As there is no contest for the Speaker
ship this year. the bitterness OF caucus
fighting will center on the offices. The
House is to elect a clerk, sergeant
alarms, n doorkeepcr and u chaplain. 1t
has come to be an unwritten law that the
three first-named offices shall go always
to members of the House. III there is an
ex-menber of the House who is a Republican
and minister of the Gospel. he will stand
an excellent chance of being elected.
In all previous caucuScs for eleCtiDg the
officers of the House the Speakership has
been the pivot around which whirled all the
great tcommittce chairfna nsh ips and the other
Offices, 70 that the election of the Spea ker
practically foretold the balance OF the ticket.
This time most important factor in all
the combinations and states Is lacking, and
the only contest is over the Offices

UNTIL EVERY CENT is GONE
Railway Assembly Will Stand by
the Anacostia Men.
Enthusiastic Meeting Held and the
Decision Reached to Make the
Fight Their Own.

The lockout of the drivers of the A nacostia
and Potomac River Railway by President
Grlswod OH last Monday and the SUBSEQUENT
troubles claimed the sole attention OF the
meeting of the Street Railway Assembly
heid laSL evening at Bunchs Hall.
The matter was handled without gloves
by several of the most prominent members
OF the assembly. 1t is not an individual
hight. they claim, but struggle for the
rights OF all working men. 1t is not a
battle Tor principle. Not the fight OF the
local assembly alone. hut Of the Knights

The street cars from AEacustia were

CORBETT AT LITTLE ROCK
Both Bruisers Are Now in the Grip
of the State Authorities.
Corbett Keeps Up Training, But the
General Opinion Is That They win
Be Driven From the State.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. with the ar
rival of Corbett this morning the center of
pugiiistic interest was transferred from Hot
springs to this city.
The champion arrived on the north bound
Iron Mountain tram at 10 O'Clock. With
him was Brady, his mana ger, and Billy De
laney, Donaldson and McVey. his trainers.
In the baggage car was heap OF training
apparatus.
Inc torbett party were driven to the
Capital Hotel, where they registered, were
assIgned rooms on the opposite side of the
house from those occupied by the Fitz-
simmons aggregation.
The Champion did not stay in the hotel
more than 1--we minutes, however, but pro-
ceeded 10 tine opera house, where he went
TO work IN an utmprorlsed gymnasium.
None OF the Fitzsinmons party appeared
IN the hotel rotunda while Corbet was
to an lmpromptu fight between the rivals
were disappointed.
The time for Corbett's hearing before
Chancellor Martin has not yet been fixed.
owing 10 the TACT that Attorney General
Trustworthy will have to be present before
the other judge. Martin, in the circuit
court, to try the Fitzsimmons case.
III the latter proceeding should be de-
layed to any extent. IL Is likely that the
Corbett Eiatter may have to go over until
tomorrow, az the attorney general will
represent the State In both cases.
II has been intimated by people close
TO the governor that neither case Fill be
pushed 10 conclusion " ith any unseemly
haste. His excelency now has both pugil-
lists directly under his eye. and those " h0
know him declare that he will allow
neither or them 10 leave Little Rock until
he has undoubted assurance that they
viii at cnoe Quit the State altogether and
never return.
There is very little fight talk in any
quarter to-day. Everyone seems to realize
that in coming to Little Rock the pugilists
have put themselves right In the lions
mouth, and that while shrewd lawyers may
get them out of danger, the result is ex-
tremely doubtful.
Both Fitzsimmons and Corbett are in
fine physical condition. The former takes
light exercise in his room and is down to
l56 pounds, Just about the weight at
which he will enter the ring in the doubtful
contingency of a fight taking place.

hugely taken aback by what I saw, though
the sight was but a natural one in the sad
case in which the kings own loyal men at
that time found themselves. A burIy, red

me kindness.

the sergeant, and with a sneer he dug his
sword into cloak which 1, with sad lack
of forethought, had left to lie upon a Bench
