Washington, Jan. S.-The action of yes
terday's caucus ds the absorbing topic
with members of the House Representa-
tive Waller, of Massachusetts, a Repub-
lican member of the Currency commit
tee. said: THE caucus establishes be-
yond doubt THAT the bill is dead. On
the ratio of the caucus vote yesterday
the vote in the House even if every menu
Der attended would be but 1855 for the bill
and 221 against. But as there will not be
a full attendance, 1 estimate the vote as
oO Tor the bill and 157 against. The adj
verse Vote includes every Republican and
fopua1st-l22 in all, and many Demo-
Gratis. The number of votes for the bill
IN caucus is dts greatest strength.
. Democratic friends of the measure con-
tend, however, that in the caucus some
members who opposed 1T will vote for 1t
in the. House. A canvass of the House
made before the caucus by a Democrat
&C congressman Showed 113 for the BILL,
l6S against and 73 doubtful
MIR. Springer saw Secretary Carlisle
last night and went over the Develop
unents of the caucus. Mr.. Springer ex-
pressed confidence that the bill WIZ pass.
Mr. Carlisle remained in Speaker
CrlSp'S private Office throughout the af-
ternoon and saw those most active in
support of the BILL No effort was made
to conceal from him the doubt the House
managers had as to the passage of the
bill.
Mr.. Carlisle was apparently as hopeful
as ever, however, and expressed the be-
lief that the bill would pass. MeSsrs.
Hail. of Missouri; Cox. of Tennessee, and
other active supporters of the bill point
ed out to the secretary the probable tao
tics of The combined opposition. This
was the first attempt to defeat the rule
closing debate and failing din this to
move to strike out the enacting clause
The names of the prominent Democrats
and Republicans who had combined on
this line of opposition were given during
the discussion of the plan. They includ-
ed the Democratic members from New
York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Nebras-
kar representing the extremes of eastern
and western sentiment on the currency.
The friends of the bill reached the I'M
derstandlng that they would meet the
fight On the rule by insisting a caucus
was binding on matters of parliamentary
procedure even though it was not on

SENATORS INTERESTED.
Doing n Good Deal of Talking About
Finances.

Washington, Jan. 8.-There has been
more financial talk about the Senate to-
day than at any time during the session.
1t has been stirred up a great deal by
the recent publications in the newspapers
OF various schemes of currency reform
House on the pending bills. Senators
VINO nave predicted rather freely hereto
fore that there would be no currency leg
lslation talked in a more favorable way
something might be done, though they
did not know how or what. Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, a member of the
Finance committee, was asked if he was
not of the opinion that there was no pos
sibMity of currency legislation.
Possibility" ne answered. We'll, now,
will say this, that is my view; 1 don t
think there is any probability of leglsla-
tton. 1t is possible, however, that condi-
tfons may arise which will bring men of
very diverse views together ON common
ground and that legislation without polit-
fcal or personal advantage, purely patri-
do not think this probable. For my own
part, would sacrifice a great deal to get
on that common ground.
Even to the acceptance of q bond
issue?"
Yes. even TO a bond issue"
What else would be necessarily
I'VE would have to do something for
silver. We could net legislate in the
currency question without doing some
thing for silver
DO you consider the necessity great for
currency legiSlation?'
Most empha tically. The condition of
affairs though may induce the Senate to
accept something that will tide the
country over"
Senator Jones said this feeling was
shared by many other senators.
It is such sentiments as these which
have been freely expressed today, that
give an indication or inclination towards
more financial legislation as it seems pos
Sihle.

VEST NOT OPTIMISTIC.
Says Talk About Compromise Bill
|.Is All Rot"

Washington, Jan. S.-Serator Vest is not
optimistic as to the chances of financial
legislation by this Congress. The sena-
tor was on his way TO the meeting of the
finance committee today when asked
about the story published in some Of
the morning papers that a compromise
bill had been agreed upon in the Senate.
ct is all rot" he said. II suppose you
mean the stuff about a financial measure
to be offered in the Senate by certain
Democratic senator's. There is nothing
in it. Furthermore, in my opinion there
is no possibility of passing any financial
bill in the Senate. We have no rules
and five members can prevent action on
any bill during this session. The only
hope for prompt and efficient action was
in the Democratic party and we failed at
the outset of the session. Instead OF
changing the Senate rules so as to pro-
vide for stopping debate and then reso-
lutely taking up the financial question and
the tariff bills from the House, the Demo
cratic caucus of the Senate deliberately
refused to do anything of the kind.
"As matters now are in the Senate moth
ing will be done except by unanimous
consent. If the ayes and nays could be
called on taking off the differential duties
of one-tenth and one-eighth on sugar,
the majority would be for the removal"

stores on Water street, where large guam
titles of provisions were supposed to be
kept. The first place attacked was
D0uer's. The place was soon broken
open, but the mob found no provisions
there. Then attention was turned to

of its provisions. At this point armed
police interviewed and the mob was driven

JUDGES DUNDY AND EDGERToN,
Some Sharp correspondence Passes
Between Them.

Little Rock, Ark, Jam. S.-Some sharp
correspondence has passed between Judge
Edgerton, who recently came to Little
Rock from Sioux City to preside over the
federal district court during the absence
of Judge Williams and Judge Z. s. Dun
dy. of Omaha, who was assigned to
Judge Edgerton'S court. That the cor
respondence has been made public was
NOT known TO Edgerton until his arrival
here this morning from New Orleans.
He found on his desk a Redwood Is.
ID paper containing the cJrsssrn9%tence
which had been given out By Judge Dun
cember 13, 1892, and signed "A. J. Edger-
ton" in which Judge Dundy is criticised
for adjournfng court at DeadWood with
out giving Judge Edgerton notice. The
letter concludes:

to annoy me i'm any possible way and

Judge Dundy replies, under date of
Deadwood, December Is: 1.-THE pro-
duction is a most remarkable one. AS
it is signed by "A. J. Edgerton. judge,

it the same as I do such productions

BARCOUBT,s DISCLAIMER.

London, Jan. 9LThe Pail Mall Gazette
says that Sir William Vernon Har-
courts disclaimer of his intention to re-
sign the chancellOrship of the eXchequsr,
does not cover all the runors afoat con-
corning the relations between the mem
berS of the ministry. The principal OF
the rumors has inspired the very definite
belief that Lord Rosebery and Sir Will
lam did not agree during the recent con-
ference on the future policy Of the gov
eminent. Sir William Vernon HarcOurt,
it would appear, cannot accept the pre-
mier's views as to the disposal of the
surplus for 1895.
