are marching like the prongs of fork,
one by way of Sutherland toward Malmes-

The enemy are now ranging over immense

them. Lord Kitchener has poured troops
into the disturbed areas, but the fugitive

neutralized his precautions. 1t was felt

The caucus was attended by 1873 leg
islators, or four less than the num-
Der necessary to choice in the joint
convention of the senate and house,
which will be held January 1G. Three
of those present were Messrs. Hill and
Tiffany, of Susquehanna county, and
Mcpherson, of Adams, who absented
themselves last night from the house
caucus and voted with the democrats
in the house Tuesday for Gen. Koontz
for speaker. Mr.. Beaver, of Juniata,
who voted with the stalwarts for Mr..
Marshall for speaker, was present, but
did not answer to his name. 1t was
stated that he will abide by the eau
Gus. Thompson, of Centre, and Haldc-
man, of Montgomery, who are de-
tanned at home by illness, were
pledged by their colleagues to Mr..
Quay. This apparently gives Mr.. Quay

The other absentees voted with the
democrats on the organization of the
