THE HOUSE CAUCUsEs.

The significant feature of the House Re-
publican caucus on Saturday to nominate
officers was the caution of the speaker
about appropriations. 1t is timely eau
ton because IT is Republican danger.

some part of it for their schemes. No river

call for $50. 000. 900, in spite of the fact that
the estimates of the chief engineer of the
army do not reach half that amount. The

presented by Senator Frye, will call for
several millions, while there are PROPOSE

mitted to push his Nicaragua canal bill to
the front last year, and it was fortunate
for the country and the party that he could

The Democratic caucus made it very clear
that, beyond an agreement to fight the Re
publicans, the members Of that party in
the House cannot agree upon a general
policy. The old-time Populists-Newlands
of Nevada, Shafroth and Bell Of Colorado
were in the Democratic caucus, having de-
clared themselves Democrats. The glad

House cannot agree.

The Neutrality-suspicious..

In this really brilliant novel, the fourth
from the pen of Pauline Bradford Mackie
the author has evolved and carried 10 its
elimination double plot Of life in Wash
ington during the later days OF the civil
war. It is a story Of love and politics,
simply told, and yet with all woman's
nicely of detail. The love story is simple
enough-that OF the private secretary OF
member Of Lincolns Cabinet and the Cabi-
net members ward, and though there are
just enough Interruptions to prove again
the truth of the old adage that the course
of true love never runs smooth, still the
difficulties are not so great as to be IN
surmountable, nor are they unsurmounted.
The page that sees "ffnis" therefore sees
happy ending Of this phase of the book.
In the political side of the story there
are many changes, many currents, many
warning interests. The ambition Oh the
Cabinet member before referred TO to sue
coed his chief in the presidential chair, that
he might bring the war to a close, the
clever politician who urged him on, with
a view to further his own ambitions; the
plotting of his daughter, the wife OF a
Union officer of high rank, in her fathers
behalf; the varying and usually conflicting
currents Of diplomacy-an these are set
forth with much skill and are carried along
smoothly to the announcement in the clos
ing chapter that dashes the chief of these
ambitions to the ground; the announce
ment, on the day of the Republican con-
vention, that "Ohio has declared for the
President" For the Cabinet member whose
ambitions, and whose daughters ambitions
for him, form the central theme of the
story, is an Ohioan, depending on his own
State for the initial impulse to give his
candidacy force His portrait is so cleverly
and forcefully drawn that the student or
the inner political history Of the civil war
has little difficulty in identifying, at least
to his satisfaction, the personality OF
the candidate. Portia, the Cabinet men,
ber's daughter, in the better phases Of her
character, is not altogether unlike some
of the leading characteristics of the writer
of the book, but these are altogether In the
domestic sense, and as to mental attain
ments and aesthetic tastes and tempera-
ment.

written under the title of The Night

his chief character that most venturesome

an early and unfortunate marriage has
driven into the ranks Of the adventures,
and whose love for her Southern people
and country sends her into the lands of
the enemy as a spy and secret agent of the

ers and offers to the public in 1.-The Ruling

and then good TO keep by one to read

each of which brings out a ruling passion
in a prominent way. So that when the
reader closes the book he has had presented
startling examples of love of music, of a
passion for children, of devotion to study,
and so forth, in characters we'll drawn
and with strong local color in every story.
