New Scheme for the Reorga nization
of Senate Elective Offices.
call was issued yesterday afternoon for
a Republican caucus to be held next Thurs
day to consider the subject OF the reorgan-
iZation of the elective officers of the Senate.
One OF the leading members of the party
said last evening that the Populists be-
lieved that the Republicans, they having the
most members should be charged with the
responsibility of the whole Senate, and the
PopuIists would be content to permit them
to assume that responsibility, but they were
opposed TO doing the thing by easy stages.
When the Republicans had made their eau
Gus nominations for all offices aud were pre-
pared to submit them in the Senate, this
Senatorsaid theP Populists would vOtefortbeir
own candidates, as they did before. and then
retire from the chamber, but the whole
thing must be accomplished at the same time.
This having come to the ears OF the Re-
pubicans they will. ii is said, endeavor to
agree among themselves on the whole
ticket before attempting to elect Mr.. Frye.
After the Republicans have thus agreed
there is said to'be little doubt but that they
Will be able to put the ticket through by
virtue of the withdrawal of the Populists
from the chamber.

The case of manslaughler against John

victim aud punched or kicked him three

grave duuht whether death ensued from the
blows. /, viii be claimed that there were
natural causes sufficient la explain it.
