REPUBLICAN CAUCUS,
Senators Decide the Order in Which
Bills Shall BE Taken Up.

The republican Senators held a caucus
today and decided upon the order in which
bills on the calendar should be taken up
There was a general understanding that
nothing should interfere with the consid-
Grafton of conference reports on the appro-
priation bills, and that no obstacle should
be placed in the way Of reaching a vote on
the Butler bond bill. Other bills are to be
taken up and disposed Of in the following
order:
Filled cheese, alcohol in the arts, fruit
brandy, Immigration, , per cent land bill,
labor commission, election of Senators by
the people, bankruptcy, contempt of courts,
courts in Indian territory, reorganizatio
OF the Northern Pacihc Railroad COMPANY
Alabama election investigation, animal in
dustry, New Hampshire war claims
1t is generally Conceded that the list will
be by no means completed before adjourn
ment, ard the prevailing opinion Ill the
caucus was that 1t would be impossible to
dispose of more than the first three though
the friends Cf the immigration bill will
press it to consideration, If possible to do
so.
There was an effort to have the Pacific
railroad refunding bill placed fourth on the
list ahead OF the immigration BILL and a
motion was made 10 this effect, but 1t was
defeated, and definite decision reache,
not to attempt to take up this bill until the
next session. On motion Of Senator Nelson
the caucus decided not to accept any
amendmen nts to the filled cheese bill.

various projects, and the economy expected
to result in each case by the adoption of
the system of continuous contracts in such
works
This Is taken to indicate the liveliest kind
or debate when the proposition comes be-
fore the House to pass the bill over the
Presidents veto.
Probable Action in the House.
The managers of the river and harbor bill
in the House intend to move the reference
of the veto message to the committee on
rivers and harbors and bring it before the
House on Monday. There are many mem
bers out of town, and the friends Of the
bill do not wish to risk an attempt to pass
the bill over the veto until more members
arrive.
kilograms have been sent by members
Interested in the bill to those who are alb
sent urging their speedy return to vote to
override the Veto There is a general con-
currenCe Of opinion that more than two
thirds Of each house will vote to pass the
Dill over the Presidents veto. The ques-
ton comes up, however, at an inopportune
time, q very large number OF those who are
In favor Of the measure being absent
Some have engaged to go to the Tennes-
see centennial celebration, and will not be

not calculated on returning for a day or
two, and again others have gone home
believing the session TO be near a close and
not expecting to return at all. To all these
messages have been sent recalling them
and 1t is the intention of the members Of
the committee on rivers and harbors to
hold the bill until there Is a full attendance
in both houses of Congress. The opponents
CT the bill insist that vote should be had
on the question of passing over the veto
without reference to the committee and
without delay. The expectation is, how
ever, that the committee will control and
that they will be able to hold the question
back until there is a full attendance The
matter is largely in the hands Of the
Speaker. and should he decide that q vote
should be taken without delay without ref
erence to the committee, the friends OF the
measure would be considerably embarrass-

Springfield people We're on board the Chi

gale, and was so dark that nothing could
be seen. The air was filled with dust and
dirt and some of US were afraid IL s-ould
be unsafe to venture on the bridge with
the train, but there was another train al
most due. and the trainmen feared it
would run into them. 1t was so dark they
could not signal back, and they decided
to take the risk and make the run across
the bridge. We had gone about half way
over when We came in range of the CIV
clone. The air was filled with debris that
struck the car windows and broke them.

JOHN BULL WORRIED.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-There is a general
belief here that the directors of the
Bank of England at their regular
weekly meeting tomorrow, will raise
the discount rate from 3 to 4 per cent
The newspapers agree in stating that
the flow Of gold to America must be
stopped. The ST. James Gazette says:
According to exchange experts, even
the present rate does not allow mar
gin of profit to shippers, so that a
premium on gold is evidently paid In
New York by those who are so ner-
vous in regard to the political situa-
ton to insist upon boarding gold. This
is a striking comment on the crook
edness Of the republicans anent the
defeat of Bryan. IT is also obvious
that the very rapid advance In wheat
adds considerably to the power of the
Americans to draw on the European
gold supply and unless the directors of
the bank are prepared to allow the re-
serve to suffer further large diminu-
ton a rise in the rate tomorrow may
be counted on as certain. So far as we
can Judge, however, the amount Of the
reserve tomorrow will be f2, 525, 500 900,
and when we deduct the sum of &c.
100000 which has to be set aside
against the Japanese balance the total
is none too large, considering the au-
tumn Withdrawals to Scotland Just
at the beginning, the stock exchange
was fully prepared for a rise in the
bank rate last week. so there will be
no sudden collapse in prices
The Globe says: Whether the wheat
advance proceeds from the firm manip-
ulatiOns of millionaire republicans or
from natural causes, the event cuts the
ground from under Bryan's feet"
