Latter Gi1en Notice of the
Holding of a Caucus.
1t Is Not Believed That All Will
Accept the Olive Branch.

washington, Dec. 9.-When the de-
termination was reached to hold a Re-
publican caucus today an interesting
situation at once presented itself. The
silver Republicans who bolted the st.
Louis platform and ticket were an un-
known quantity in their political affilia-
tions. and ,shether or not 10 invite them
To atten' tho Republican caucus was an
UNDECIDED matter.
Many conferences were held. Senator
,snancler of New Hampshire being par
bcularly active I'm recommending that
the boters be notified of the caucus.
which Is practically an invitation TO at
tend. Senator Chandler took the posi-
ton that the votes of these men would
be needed In passing tariff bill. Sena-
tor Quay, IL Is understood. took the same
view. and II was finally concluded that
notices should be sent them as before.
This result placed the burden of action
on the silver Republicans. They con-
fer.ed until late in the night to settle
Spon line of policy. Senator Dubois OF
idaho is or was, secretary OF the caucus.
He will resign this place. as he has been
more active than many OF the others In
the recent campaign, and was one of the
most urgent In advocacy OF bolt at st.
Louis.
There has been a tendency among
Some Republicans TO pursue a concilia-
tory course toward the silver Republi-
cans, especially as a number OF them
have declared In favor OF protection, and
Senator Mantle's paper has been quite
positive I'm this direction. 1t is not be-
lleved that either Senators Pettigrew.
Mantle or Cannon Will attend the caucus,
although they would not be required ia
indicate their views, The purpose Of
the caucus is to .'fline q ~ogram fol

Governor Bradley Is Despondent.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. s.--A rumor COM
ing from some Of Governor Bradley's
close friends Is current here NAT he has
been very respondent Of late; that he
believes his throat trouble has been
caused by the continual harrassment of
his office: that his poor health caused
him to drop out OF the senatorial race,
and has caused his hesitation about call
ing an extra session of the Legislature
All this has given rise to a rumor that he
seriously contemplates resigning.

THE Executive Committee of the
Ninth Congressional District has
settled the contention between Nc
Dearmon and Pierce by setting aside
the primary held Aug. 6, and calling
a delegated convention for Oct. l. On
the face of the returns McDearmon
had majority of the votes cast, but
he stated to the committee that he
would scorn to accept nomination
where there was the least intima-
ton of any Irregularities, and that he
would not jeopardize the interests
of the party by a wrangle, and
wanted it referred to the people for
another expression of their will,
which was done. The emulation of
this action by the contendiug gem
tlemen in the seventh would much
more commend them to the hearts
of their anxious constituents than
would their respective services in
Congress.

MINISTER TERRELL HERE.
He Was at the State Department 7

He Was at the State Department To-
day, but Declined to Talk.
Mr.. Terrell. United States minister at
ConstaEtfnople, arrived in Washington last
nlsnt, and today reported his arrival at the
state Department. He had long inter-
view with Assistant Secretary Adee, who
has been specially charged with the con-
duct OF that branch Of the diplomatic work
OF the department including Turkey, and
described to him at length the conditions
existing in Turkey when he left. Later he
saw Secretary Olney. but only for a short
time, and to pay his respects. A fuller ex-
change OF views between them was left to
future interviews. for the minister expects
to remain in Washington for several days,
at least.
Mr.. Terrell is looking remarkably well,
and is much stouter than when he visited
washington two. years ago. Touching the
work Of his mission, ne was strictly no1-
communicative. taking the view that be-
yond the matters made public by the de-
partment Itself it was not for him to talk.
he also remarked that the American pub
lie had later information than he of the
progress Of events in Turkey by means of
cabiegramS received while he was on the
passage over the Atlantic. Not much more
could be gathered from the minister re-
specting mis- future movements. He expects
to remain in Washington for some days yet
at least, but he is not prepared to say
whether or not he will go to his home in
Texas. 1t was evident that he intends to
shape his movements by the wishes of the
State Department officials and consult their
convenience entirely. In response to the
direct question as to how long he would be
in the United States Mr.. Terrell referred
vaguely to the departmental regulations
permitting leave Of absence of sixty days
from his post, and declined to say whether
or not be intended to return to Turkey or
when.

CUBAN TION
It is Believed That the President Will
Take Radical Action.
TOday's Vote II the Deliberate Judx-
ment OF Congress and Not an
Emotional Expression.

The vote on the Cuban resolutions in the
House this morning demonstrated that II
was not merely under the impulse of ex-
element that the original resolutions were
given such an immense majority. After
weeks Of deliberation, and in spite Of great
efforts In antagonism by certain commercial
interests and the most determined fight
possible by members of the House and Sen.
ate opposed to the recognition of the in
surgents, there were but ten votes more
against the conference report than there
were against the original resolutions. The
House resolution was adopted March by
vote of 262 to II.
The report was adopted today by a vote
Of pa to q.
This vote, it is expected, will satisfy
the President that there Is nothing emo.
t1onal in the expression of opinion bu,
tfat II Is the deliberate and earnest tudg.
ment of Congress that the Cubans should
be recognized. The prevailing opinion il
that lie will be influenced by the resolu.
tions and their object will be accomplished
Ih1s Is based upon the assumption tha,
he cannot do otherwise under the circum.
stances.
TIE opinion Is expressed by some that he
Will deliberate awhile and will finally take
more radical action than suggested by the
resolutions. Some expect him to take the
ground that if anything at all is to te
done by this country our interference
should be made effective, to the degree OF
1nSurfng Cuban independence.
