sPOILs OF THE SENATE.
The Democrats and Republicans to
Agree ON "a Division.

me DemOcFHts ana hepu bllc0ms to
Agree ON Division.
Washington. March 19.-The democratic
members of the Senate held caucus this
afternoon at the adjournment of the SEN
ate for the purpose of discussing patron
age. The proposition upon which, Sena-
tor German, representing the democrats.
and Senator Elkins. representing the re-
publicans, have been working for several
weeks was presented to the caucus and
appeared to meet with favorable consid-
Grafton 1t provides for a non-partisan
among the ninety senators who compose
the body. There are about eighteen en-
ployes, who from long years Of expert
ence, have become invaluable to the Sem
ate and these men viii be r. ced on list
and charged up to the Senate as a body.
The other places will then be distributed
equally. There were ten democratic sem
ators who ceased to be members of the
Senate with the last session, and their
successors have no one in office through
their influence; the same can be said of
the new republican senator's.
OF course revision of this sort means
that some of the employees will have to
go, and they will probably be those whose
senators have lost their seats, and there
fore no longer with senatorial backing.
The whole subject of the adoption of the
report was left to the steering committed
This committee will confer with a similar
committee of the republicans and after a
republican caucus 1t is believed that the
whole matter will be settled as herein

MILLrKEN's UNLUoKY EscArADE.
He Tesdfies That He Was Drunk
when he Made the Break.

Washington, March 19.--The trial of
Benjamin II. Milliken, formerly clerk to
Senator Harris of Tennessee, for surrepti-
tously entering the. .house of Judge Phil
lips on the night of July 4 last, was re-
sumed in the criminal court this morning.
Miliken, the defendant, testified in his
own behalf to the effect that on the night
named he was very much intoxicated. He
had called upon Miss Phillips, with whom
he was very much in love having told her
in a note that he would call. Miss Phil
lips did not see him when he called. He
became tired of waiting for the young
lady to come down stairs and sat down
in the drawing room and fell asleep. Up
on awakening he thought he was In
his boarding house, and started up stairs
to retire. His room occupied the same
relative position In his house that Miss
Phillip does in her fathers residence,
and, without discovering his error he
stumbled into the room Of Miss Phillips.
In hunting for matches he aroused the
young lady. Then he heard screams and
was for the first time sober enough TO
realize where he was. He looked about
for means 10 get out of the room, so that
no scandal would be created. He thought
best to disguise himself and pulled off his
coat turned the sleeves, took off his
shoes and prepared to rush down stairs.
When he tried to get out of the hall door
some one was holding 1t from the out
side. He heard q lady run down stairs
and call for the police. Then he climbed
the transom leading into Miss Ellen's
(the sister room, thinking he might get
down through the back window and over
the roof. When he reached the roofs edge
he saw It was too far to jump, and got
behind the chimney in the center of the
roof.
Senators Harris and Bate of Tennessee
and others testified to knowing the de-
fendant for some years, and gave him a
good character.
Additional evidence was given to show
that Milliken was intoxicated on the night
in question, and after the attorneys for
the defense had addressed the jury the
court adjourned until tomorrow, when
District Attorney Burney will close the
case for the prosecution.
