BAILEY ESTABLISHES
 HIS LEADERSHIP
Democratic Congressmen Agree by Unanimous Vote to be Bound
 by Caucus Action.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The Demo- crats of the House of Representatives held a caucus tonight on the question coming over from the last session as to the binding force of caucus action. l. Of 126 members on the roll of the House S6 were present. Among those present were Representatives Bailey of Texas, Richardson of Tennessee, De Armond and Bland of Missouri Wheeler of Alabama, Allen of Mississippi. McRae of Arkansas and Sayres of Texas. Representatives McMillin of Tennessee and Bankhead of Alabama were not among those present
 The meeting was devoted to a brief dis cussion of the wisdom of making caucus action binding. A resolution to this ef- feet had been introduced and this was pending. The main interest centered in the ability of Bailey and his friends to pass the resolution.
 In order to test the strength of the Bailey forces MT. Clardy of Kentucky moved to reconsider the vote by which the resolution had been agreed to at the last session. The motion was tabled-62 to 13 thus establishing that the advo- cates of the resolution had clear ma jority.
 The resolutions were then adopted without opposition. Beyond this no ac- tion was taken. MT. Bailey said after the caucus:
 T have no desire to discuss the action Of the caucus further than to say that 1t must now be plain to all thinking men that the stories of serious divisions in the Democratic party were the inven- tion of few sensational newspapers"

Opinion General in Paris That Great Britain Is Determined to
 Force a Conflict.
Edouard Doumont Declares It Is Sought by the Stronger Nation to Crush the Weaker as Carthage Was
 Crushed by ROme
 Bonnet

PARIS, Dec. 10-Slowly, but stead fly, the conviction is gaining ground here that war with England is inevitable. Paul de Cassagnac's paper the Au- torite, even goes so far as to declare 1t imminent and suggests the probabil- ity of an alliance with Germany. rather than see France share the fate of Spain. ff
 This is no alarmist opinion. It is one shared by people in diplomatic, parlia- 'mentary, naval, military and commer- cal circles alike. That there is no reck- lessness in 1t even the fire eaters among French public men realize.
 They recognize that war with her transchannel neighbor means almost certain defeat for France, yet at the same time they ask, What they are to do? How is war to be prevented?
 England seems determined, they say, to force France back to the wall. The moment must come when further re- treat will be impossibl No people can possibly swallow affront after affront without sinking to the condition of what Lord Salisbury recently defined as a "decaying nation"
 lcAlCC, lO PuDllC tOpIIlIOil here has given way before England only to be met after every concession with heavier demands.
 "The English are initiating the Ro- mans in their intercourse with the Car thagenians, said Edouard Drumont to me yesterday. History is repeating itself. When the elephants and all the materials of defense had been given up and hostages had been delivered into the hands of the Romans the Cartha- genians found themselves fact to face with the choice of abandoning their city and seeing it razed to the ground or accepting war.
 Similarly England is making de- mand after demand. Yesterday she claimed Fashoda. She got it. To- morrow she may revendicate Calais

egraphs: Now that the treaty of peace has been signed it will devolve upon the administration to carry out at once some of the pledges it contains. It is expected that instructions will be sent General Otis the first of next week to demand the release of prisoners held by Aguinaldo and the insurgent forces. and he has already informed the War Department that he believes he is in a position to take such action and en- force compliance.
 The proclamation of the FilipinoS re- ferred to in the Herald this morning setting forth the purposes of the United States with respect to the character of the military government to be enforced has been practically completed, and will be sent to General Otis without delay for issuance.
 It is not believed in official circles that there will be any trouble in secur- ing the disbandment of the insurgent forces. So far as the navy is concerned I understand it is proposed to discharge as promptly as the service conditions will admit, 245 volunteer officers re- maining in the service It will be diff ficult to reduce the number of men. however, for the reason that ships in the service need 1000 men now home on the naval rolls, and an extra num- Der will be carried until the treaty of peace is ratified and Congress grants the increase recommended by Secretary Long.
 Secretary Alger will not discharge all the volunteers until Congress has au- thorized an increase of the army. though as a matter of fact the War Department will be compelled. after the ratification of the treaty. to dis charge every volunteer who asks per- mission to leave the service
