NO ACTION TAKEN.
Republican Senators Caucus on Interna.

Republican Senators Caucus on Interna-
tional Bimetallism.
!. WASHINGTON. Jan. 13.-The Repub-
lican senatorial caucus did not result in
any final action upon the question of
international >bimetallism, which the
caucus was called to consider, but adj
journed until Friday. This failure
was not due to any opposition to the
proposition to provide means for con-
ference but to the fact that the lam
guage of the bill prepared by the
Wolcott committee was objection
able to some. The bill as drafted
provides for the consideration
Of the "free coinage of sill
yer. Some of the Western members of
the caucus objected to this wording,
saying that it should be so amended as
to provide for free and unlimited COIN
age. Senator Allison impressed the
caucus, in brief speech, with the me-
cessity of complete outline Of what
was wanted. It was suggested that it
would be better to adjourn and take
time to make the bill complete, and ac-
ceptable to all than to attempt to make
amendments while in session.

The arraagementsfSr the inaugnra-
tion oi Presidents elect Mckinley are pro-
crossing in manner very satisfactory
to the committees having them in
charge and it is believed that the decor.
ations, illuminations, and ceremonies
incident to this event will at least equal
iii beauty and impressiyeness those Of
any former Inauguration. All Of the
money asked for bv the executive COM
mlttee has been contributed and num-
ber of contracts have already been let.
Gen. Clay, from the committee on mil
itary organizations, reported that there
would be in the parade. one entire divl-
sion from Pennsylvania. consisting OF
the governor and his staff, division and
brigade commanders and their staffs;
three regiments OF ten companies each;
IL regiments of 8 companies each; cne
battalion OF four companies; one separ-
ate company; three troops OF cavalry;
two companies of naval militia, in all
5000 men. MARYLAND will send her
entire militia and large bodies Of troops
are expected from New York, New Jersey.
Ohio, Rhode Island and other states.
The CO dets from the United States mill
tary academv at West Point, and from
the United States naval academy. at
Annapolis, also will be in line, as we'll
as large number ofcrack military or
ganizations from different parts of the
country. As applications from many
civic societies and clubs for positions
are being received. this feature of the
parade will no doubt be unusually fine.
The inaugural ball promises o be an
exceptionally brilliant affair. The deco
srations will be very. elaborate. and all
of the appointments of very high
order. a military band of 65 pieces and
an orchestra OF 125 pieces will furnish
the music from separate stands to be
erected at the east and north fronts.

Takes a Wide Range.

Debate Over the Measure in the Senate
Takes a Wide Range.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Some lively
political sparrirg marked the later
hours of the senate session. The free
homestead bill was under discussion
and Mr. Allen found opportunity for
questioning Mr.. Villas of Wisconsin
concerning the party differences of last
fall. Mr.. Villas declared that there
was almost nothing in the Chicago
platform not inimical to the interests
of the government He insisted that
the Indianapolis platform was founded
throughout in Democracy. Mr.. Allen
characterized the Indianapolis platform
as ..rump affair, The controversy
became very lively and took a wide
range.
The homestead bill was further de-
bated but vote was not reached. Mr..
Villas attacked it as measure giving
away $35, 900, 600 of government money.
Mr.. Nelson (Rep, Mimi, Mr.. Allen
and Mr.. PETER Pop, KAN spoke for
the bill. Mr.. Hill Dem, N. ", who
has not even addressed the senate of
late, spoke in favor Of law fixing four
years as the term of fourth class post

Sensational Sequel to the john
son-Hearst Affair Occurs
In the House.
Matters in the Early Career Of
the Former Spread on
the Records.
Bitter Personal Debate Follows
and Several Members
Participate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The house
witnessed sensational sequal to the
remarkable attack made by Mr.. john
son Of California on Editor Hearst. Mr..
johnson and Mr.. Mcguire (Dem., Call
were the antagonists. Their wordy
duel grew out of the publication in The
Record, as part of Mr.. Maguire's re-
marks, Of comments on the former's s
speech last week in which Mr.. Mcguire
defended Mr.. Hearst and without the
mention of Mr.. Johnson's name, de-
tailed some matters in the early life Of
the latter when he resided in Syracuse,
N. Y. Mr.. johnson got the floor on
question of privilege. He was at times
dramatic He denounced Mr.. Maguire's s
attack on him as
Wanton and Cowardly.
and told the story of his Indictment 81
years ago in New York for forgery and
how he had gone out to California to
rear a new home and make new
name. He described his success and
how he had been able to pay back
every dollar he owed. He then ex-
planned that all this was an old story
in California, where he had always
avowed it when he ran for office. Then
with bitter invective he paid his re-
spects to Mr.. Mcguire and Mr.. Cooper
of Wisconsin, who last week charac-
terized his attack on Mr.. Hearst as
cowardly.
Mr.. Mcguire replied to Mr.. johnson
in sarcastic vein. He told how he
had attempted to secure time in which
to reply to Mr.. johnson during the de-
bate and had been unable to do so, and
how he had printed his defense of a
man unable to secure a hearing for
himself. He
Sneered at Mr. johnson
for whining because his attack went
home to him, and said he should have
thought. of the grief and anguish he
was bringing to another before he as
sailed Mr.. Hearst. Mr.. Poole of New
York made motion to expunge Mr..
Maguire's remarks from The Record,
which was adopted, after Mr.. McMillin
had Intellectually attempted to delay
action, but a similar motion to expunge
Mr.. Johnson's remarks about Mr.
Hearst was defeated-82 to o. The in
cident overshadowed interest in the
house proceedings. Early in the day
the speaker sustained the point of or
der against the motion to recommit the
Pacific funding bill.

Improvement Since Previous Report, but
Not So Great as Anticipated.

Improvement Since Previous Report, but
Not So Great as Anticipated.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The comp
troller of the currency has issued a
statement showing the condition of the
rs national banks in Wisconsin, outside
of Milwaukee, at the close of business
Dec. II. The bankssheld SIS, ,096, 10 in
individual deposits and $2,456. .825 in
lawful money. Their loans and dis
counts aggregated $19, 1851, ,O97, against
SIS, 1858, 1854 on Oct e. They owe to
other national banks $1i2,919, against
$275,2S6 due them from other national
banks. They owe state banks and
bankers $s7Q,S22 against $lO9,8O2 due
them from state banks. The amount
due the Wisconsin banks from reserve
agents is $3, ,682, $40. While the report
is somewhat better one than the re-
port made by the same banks in Octo-
ber, the Improvement is not as great as
was expected.

Harmon Not Ta1kinc Much.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ID. - Attorney
General Harmon was seen at his office
and questioned as to the probable
course the government would pursue
with respect to the Pacific railroads,
now that the funding bill had failed.
Beyond the statement that some action
probably would be taken within the
next 30 days he declined to discuss the
matter. It is believed, however, that
the first step will be against the Union
Pacific, inasmuch as foreclosure pro-
ceedings instituted on the first lien
