DIGNlFIED SENATOR'S
Had a Rather Lively Caucus Last
Evening.
ATTEMPT WILL SOON BE MADE TO
ORGANIZE.

Conflict ing Elements Are Reconciled-
Proctor and Chandler Conservative
| In Their views-Western Senators
Want Immediate Action Y ounge1
Members Want Recognition.
Washington December 2.-The caucus
Eeld this afternoon by the Republican
st nators, although devoid of positive
action demonstrated the fact that pro b.
able successful attempt will soon be made
to reorganize the upper branch in both
committees and elective officers.
The caucus lasted not more than half
an hour and there was a gene raj clear
ing OF the atmosphere which had been
somewhat obscured by tho action of a
few Senators, who met Saturday night, to
prepare plan for taking the mana ge-
ment of the Senate out of the hands of
the older members.
Ihe result of the talk was reconcile
alton OF conflicting elements
The caucus met with feeling of appre-
nenSlon IN the minds of some as to what
Messrs Hansborough, Pettigrew, Clark,
Garter, Mantle. Dubuois, Chandler, Gal
Ilnger and Proctor who held the confer
ence above referred to, intended doing
in the matter of organization. A few of
the Western Senators were determined
TO force action at once but Senators Proc
tor and Chandler favored waiting until
more convenient season, and were not
prepared to go to the extreme to which
the course of others pointed
Mr.. Dubuois was opposed to permitting
the chairman Of the caucus, MIR. Sherman,
to appoint the committee to fill the exist
ing vacancies as he looked upon this as
inimical to the inter- SITS of the younger
members. He had resolution prepared
providing for the election of a committee
of nine for this purpose by the caucus
Mr.. Hoar had resolution prepared in
structing Senator Sherman as chairman
OF the caucus, to name the committee,
but neither proposition was submitted.
1t is said. that the discussion showed
that the caucus would not permit Mr..
Dubois's plan to prevail.
1t was finally agreed that it would be
better to defer that matter until future
day. Senator Frye was suggested as
president pro tenn and no other name was
mentioned.
4 He will be nominated, but it was
deemed useless to do anything in the mat
ter today as no pro tenn can be elected so
long as the vice. president fills the chair.
II the Republicans can show the Demo-
Gratis they have enough votes to elect a
president per tempore, the election will
be held. 1t is understood that Mr.. Sher-
man is to consult the opposition caucus
chairman and. arrange fer time for
taking this vote. If then by chat time the
Republicans have agreed upon candidates
for the other offices, the whole ticket will
be placed in the field.
In order to reorganize the Senate the
Republicans must have two votes out
side of their own ranks and Senators
Stewart and Jones.

morning he went up to Gray and went to
work in H. f. Webb's canning factory.
He worked There two weeks, when
friend came and told him that the police
were after him for asaulting Doyle, who

he went into the hospital and remained
there till November 18th. After leaving
tho hospital he went to low Italian dive
on Clark street and later went to cheap
lodging house.
When Officer Heating reached Boston
last Sunday morning, be went straight to
the Adams House. He had been employed
in hotel himself formerly and knew
that the employees might help him. He
picked out man whom he thought he
could trust and asked him if he'd seen
Reardon. The man replied that he had
that very week. He was walking along
the street one evening when Reardon
accosted him from doorway and asked
for 25 cents, saying that he was hard up.
He had bruise under one eye and looked
as if he'd been beaten badly in d fight.
The hotel man said that Rsardon had
been around town for some time with
gang of buns and toughs, frequently in
free lunch rooms and bumming living
| from whoever he could.
The hotel man said that he and other
walters were afraid of Reardon, he had
such treacherous eye and threatening
manner and they would give him money
to get rid of him.
All day Sunday and Sunday evening
Officer Keating went about the free lunch
places and through the haunts of such
men as Reardon was with, but saw moth

lay in wait for Reardon in an apotheoary

o'clock Reardon came into view around
corner and stood leaning against build

down. His clothing was different from
the description and his moustache was
longer than it was here, but Keating
knew him and the other officers soon had
him. Keating came up and said: "Hullo

"Hullo! How long have you been look

had a bad time and I'm glad to so back

Later he told Keating that he knew he
was after him. He had watched the
papers and seen that Keating had gone
on vacation. He knew what that
meant.

| Quarantine, S. 1. December 2.-On the
Columbia steamer Finance which arrived
this morning from Colon were Captain
Charles q. Carter and Second Officer r.
A Crocker of the ship Parthia of Bath.
Maine, which was as before reported,
burned in the South Pacific and was
abandoned by her crew.
The Parthia sailed from Liverpool june
% for San Francisco, coal laden. On
September 81, in latitude 49 S., longitude
SO. smoke was seen pouring from tha
after hold
After an alarm was given Captain
Carter and the entire Drew endoavored to
get at the fire but without success. The
fire had apparently been smoldering for
many days ana it was soon apparant that
the vessel was doomed to destruction.
Preparations were made to abandon the
vessel.
The Goats were got ready and pro-
vlsioned and on October 1st the vessel
was abandoned, Captain Carter and
eleven men getting into the long boat
the chief mate and eight men into an
other boat, and Second. Officer Crocker and
eight men into the remaining life boat
After tedious and dangerous voyage
of many days the entire ships company
succeeded 10 reaching Valparaiso. The
boat in charge of Second Officer Crocker
was fourteen days in reaching Valpa-
raiso, and all were in an exhausted CON-
dition, suffering terribly from the effects
OF their exposure in an open boat. David
Jones, one of the occupants of this boat,
died and his body was consigned to the
deep.
Captain Carter, on being interviewed
st Quarantine this morning, declined to
give any detailed account of the loss of
his ship, and only stated that he supposed
the fire was caused by spontaneous COM
bustion. The Parthia registered 1871
tons and hailed from Bath, where she
was built in 1891.

Cry UNITED pREss.l

Washington, December 2.-The 54th
Congress began it's sessions at noon today
Win crowded galleries and many other
manifestations cf acute interest in its
prceedings including, of course, the inev--
liable floral decorations.
For the third time in the last 25 years
the popular well found expression in
reversal of political dominance, and
the new Congress was called to order
with Democratic ascendency in tho SEN
ate on the point Of disappearing and the
House overwhelmingly Republican.
There were 15 new faces among the
Senators, not counting Mr.. Chiffon Of
Texas, who occupies a seat he once held
before by appointment, and there were
in addition 13 reelected. Senators Of the
holding over Senators whose terms will
expire two years from now, some Of the
most prominent, including Blackburn,
Brice, Hill, Voorhees,, Vest and Peffer,
took their seats today with a shadow
hanging over them Of a stro ng probabili-
ty that their places might be flied by
others when this Gong ress expires.
The rehabitated Senate chamber had
quite changed appearance. This arose
as much from the rearranging of the
seats of those who remain, as from the
absence of familiar faces of those who
had been retired. Suave and courteous
Ransom, of North Carolina, transferred
to Mexico courtly Gen. Butler Of South
Carolina, succeeded by the rugged Popu-
list leader, Tillman. Dolph' flowing
whiskers. Manderson's alert face and
sonorous voice, Washburn's dignified
presence. and McPherson's matchless
dsportment-the conspicuous absence of
all these, and the presence of so many
new men gave the Senate an unaccus-
toned look.
| In the House Of Representatives the
| changes We're still more marked. One
OF the features which provoked commen.
| from the galleries, was the youthful ap-
| pearance OF many of the new members.
Several states have sent as representa-
tives, men who are still in their twen-
! ties; probably two score of others are
under 40. In point of age the present
| House is the youngest known to the his
tory OF the American legislature. The
| boyish appearing, bright-faced, intelli-
| gent looking, wellgroom ed college men,
most of them, presented striking con-
trast in their youthful appearance to their
veteran associates.
The openingsofs every Congress has al
ways had the effect of bringing great
crowds of people, but never, perhaps, 1n
the history of Congress has larger as
semblage of spectators gathered in the
galleries, halls and corridors OF the great
marble structure.
As usual the principal attraction was
tho House.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l


Washington, December 2.-Unusual
interest was manifested in the organiza-
lon of the House today, and when Mr..
Reed stepped into the Speakers desK
andstook up the gavel which he had laid
down four years before, under circum-
stances SO different, there seemed to be a
general consciousness that the scene
was one that would be memorable and OF
permanent interest in the history of Anne
rioan politics.
Although Mr.. Reed referred to it byIno
word or act, there must have been in the
minds of all who knew the 5lst Congress,
along thought of the hour when the
Democratic side flushed with it's great
November victory refused to acquiesce in
the customary vote Of thanks, and sought
to heap obloquy upon the administration
of the office, by calling the yeas and nays
on this vote Of courtesy.
Today Crisp alone remained of the very
prominent Democratic leaders of that
day. Mills, the Breokenridges, Wilson,
HOLMAN, Bynum, Blount. Springer and
Bland, are most Of them swept out by
the great Republican tidal wave.
There was much applause on the formal
presentation of Mr.. Reeds name by Mr..
Grosvenor OF Ohio, but when Mr.. Reed
was escorted to the Speakers desk on the
arm of Mr. Crisp, the applause prolonged
itself until finally the members on the
floor and the visitors in the gallery
burst into loud cheers.
The desk was literally covered with floral
tributes, large bunch of American
beauty roses being especially prominent.
teile was most fortunate in securing Mr..
Reed old seat, very desirable place.
MIR. Dingley got a poor seat, but ex-
changed it for better one. Mr.. Milliker
Jared fairly well. The Presidents mes
