Senator Teller's Threats to Put Riders on
Everything.

Washington, January 8.-If the Repub-
lican mem bers of the Senate committee
on finance act in accordance with the
vote of the Republican Senatorial caucus
this afteroon, and if Mr.. Jones, Popu-
list of Nevada, persists in his intention
to demand that raw sugar be given q 10
per cent increase there will probably be
deadlock In the committee and the bill
cannot be reported. There is general
belief that Mr.. Jones will relent and act
with the Republicans. The resolution
introduced by Mr.. Quay declaring it the
sense of the caucus that the Republicans
should report the tariff bill from the
committee as it came from the House,
passed the caucus after an hour and a
half of debate without divis on and by
practically unanimous. vote The chief
point in the discussion was the prOba-
BILE attitude Of the silver Republicans.
Many of them were outspoken in their
desire to have the tariff bill pass and
declared it would be unwise to place q
free coinage rider thereto, especially i'll
view of the fact that such n bill was now
before the Senate and would be passed
before action was had on the tariff hill.
Mr.. Teller Of Colorado made a vigorous
speech and said that for one he proposed
to assist in placing free coinage amend
ment on every tariff bill until sucn n
measure became law. He would not only
vote to put it on this bill, but declared
it his intention to endeavor to assist in
having such an amendment placed on
the tariff bill in the next Congress If
the Republicans controlled both branches
of the legislative department. and the
executive. This statement embarrassed
the Republicans greatly. Mr.. Teller did
not say he would offer such an amend
ment, but stated positively that if off,
cred he would vote for it. Conservative
this vote and the votes Of the sssound
money! men on the other side of the
chamber are counted upon to defeat such
a PROPOSITION.

London, January Sit is announced
upon official authority that Admiral
Rawson, commanding the Cape and West
Africa squadron, has been ordered to take
his flagship, the st. George to Delagoa
bay.
The st. James Gazette, in an article
under the caption, "Getting ready" and
the Globe, in an editorial headed,
"Taking up the gauge" call attention to
the unanimity displayed by all classes
and parties in Great Britain in resenting
the Kaiser's message to President Kruger
Despite the receipt Of evasive replies
from Sherness and Portsmouth to in
quiries in regard to the Times's assertion
that orders have been given to put six
warshjps in commission, it is known that
the report that flying squadron is to be
formed is true.
1t is stated this afternoon that Admiral
Rawson, commanding the British Cape
and West Africa squadron, who was or
dered to proceed with his flagship, the
St. George, to Dalegoa Bay, is already
on his way to that place. where several
warships will assemble. The admiralty

London, January S.-The Central News
is authority for The statement that Lord
Salisbury has notified the German gov
ernmcnt that Great Britain will main
tain the rights in the Transvaal secured
to her under the convention of 1884, az all
costs. The generosity shown by Presi-
dent Kruger is admitted everywhere. At
the clubs here, it is matter of speoula-
ton as to what terms will be made by
Sir Hercules Robinson governor of Cape
Colony. The consensus Of opinion is that
President Kruger will expel the leading
agitators in the Rand of whose participa-
tion in the conspiracy against the Trans
yaal government he possesses proofs, ami
the British government will punish the
other participants. 1t is believed that
the british South Africa company will

In Committees, Senate and House Yester
day.

Washington, January S.-The Senate
committee on foreign relations held its
first meeting this morning since the reor
ganization of the Senate. There was no
tempt made to consider the important
business before the committee. The
docket is unusually largo owing to the
complications now existing between this
government and foreign powers.
This business was divided between
various sub-oommittees and after an in
formal talk ranging over the entire list
of subjects before the committee, an nd
journment was taken until Saturday,
when special meeting will be held.
Chief among the matters referred to
this committee are affairs relating to
Cuba Venezuela and Armenia
Members OF the committee say the
latter is one that will cause this govern
ment no end Of trouble. Papers before
the committee indicate that the half has
not been told and how to effectually in
erf ere without violating our national
policy of evading entangling alliances
| with foreign powers, is a problem that
| the skill of the committee and the dipl0-
macy of the State Department. alone can
solve. Some Senators are in favor of
sending all urgent appeal to Russia to
take charge of the Sc ana look after the
| interest of Americans in Armenia.
| The recognition of the belligerent
rights of the Cubans is also pressing up
on the committee and this will he the
first thing taken up at the meeting
Saturday. There is no division Of SCH I'll
inent among the members on this sub
| jeot. Should the insurgents secure
Havana or make vital attack upon tie
Spanish troops that would give them a
stronger foothold on the island, the
Senate, it is believed, would at once pass
the neutrality-suspicious. belligerency
of the Cubans.
| The informal discussion of the men,
