The Republican Caucus.
(By the Associated Press.l

Washington, Nov. 30.-The caucus of
the Republican members of the House
was held in the Hall of Representatives
this afternoon and lasted about three
hours. Speak Henderson and the old
officers of the House were made the
unanimous choice Of the caucus, and the
major portion of the time was devoted
to an unsuccessful effort. led by Repre-
sentative Hepburn, of Iowa, to effect
some changes in the rules Of the last
House.
In response to very enthusiastic re-
ception Mr.. Henderson said in part:
There is always more activity at
every Congress preceding Compression
al election than at any other time. we
will require all of the wisdom we possess
and all of the patriotism, fer we have
great danger to confront us continuous
ly and that is the surplus in the Treas
ury. / appeal to my colleagues. Repub-
licans to keep in mind that this is a
danger and if we can be wise in the
presence of that danger we will find APP
prevail from the American people. The
American people do not expect any mig
gardliness in the treatment of the mat
tiers that they require. l do not counsel
that but l counsel that conservative
consideration of every question which
should be observed at all times without
reference to the hundred million that we
are said to have"
Mr. Hepburn pointed out four material
changes, which he believed should be
made in the rules. as they have existed
for several Congresses. One of these
vas to provide that the right OF recog-
milton, now lodged in the speaker should
be given to the first member addressing
the chair; the second was to provide for
the revival of the old morning, hour.
as it existed before the first Congress,
of which Mr.. Reed was Speaker. and
the fourth was to provide that Senate
amendments to House Bills should be
subject to the same points of order to
which they would be subject !,ld the
amendment originated in the House.
Mr.. Hepburn contended that the present
rules gave the Speaker entirely too
much power. and in the course of his
remarks made the point that there was
nothing in the Constitution which re-
quired that the presiding officer chosen
by the House, should be 4 member OF
that body.
Mr.. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, replied
at considerable lergth to Mr.. Hepburn S
argument. contending that the present
rules were an evolution and had worked
admirably in facilitating the transaction
of business. When Mr. Hepburn's motion
was put it was defeated by an og.r-
whelming vote about three to one

the earliest practicable moment to &C

The presenting of this resolution pre-
cipitated a row. Mr.. Richardson at
tempted to prevent the reading of it by
motion to refer all resolutions to spe
cial committee of twelve, who should re
port at future caucus, but this motion
was ruled out of order pending the read
ing of the resolution. When the reading
was concluded, Mr.. Ball, of Texas gave
notice that he would offer the Kansas
City platform as substitute. This
drew replies from Mr.. Fitzgerald, OF
New York, and Mr.. McDermont, of New
Jersey, both of whom protested against
the injection of the financial issue into
the Democratic councils.
After further sharp exchanges Mr.
Richardson succeeded in quelling the dis
turbance by renewing his motion to re
fer all resolutions to special committe
of twelve, to be appointed by thechair
man of the caucus. This motion pre-
vailed.
The following resolutions were then in
troduced:
By Representative Finley, Of South
Carolina:
Resolved, that the Hon. James D
Richardson and the Democratic mem
bers of the House Committee on Rules
when appointed and three members to be
appointed by them constitute commit
tee to have in charge the control and oil
rection of the policy of the Democrat
party in the House of Representatives
except as ordered by a caucus of the
party
BY Mr.. Burleson, of Texas:
Resolved, that every Representative
in Congress participating in this caucu
shall be governed by the action of said
caucus when same does not conflict with
the declaration of principles and policie
set forth in the last platform adopted by
the Democratic party in national conven
tion assembled.
"Resolved, that the best interests
the Democratic party will be subseryed
by the membership of said party in Con
gress refraining from soliciting patron
age at the hands of the administration"
These resolutions having been referred
a motion was made and carried that the
committee which is to be appointed to
consider them shall report to caucus
to meet Friday evening, January 10. The
caucus then adjourned.

VERDICT RENDERED
IN FAVOR OF CAT IT'S
Especial to News and Observer

Oxford, N. c., December l.
Rev. T. J. Gattis has again won. The
decision is against DR.. j. c. Kilgo and
Mr. B. N. Duke for $4,000, and nothing
against w. r. Odell The issues and an
swers are:
did the defendants publish of and
concerning the plaintiff the defamatory
words set forth in section four of the
complaint"
Answer. Yes.
2. Were such defamatory words
false?"
Answer. Yes.
8. "Were the same malicious?"
Answer. Yes as to ]. C. I<ilgo and B.
N. Duke: no as to w. r. Odell.
4. "What damages, if any, has the
plaintiff sustained by such wrongful con-
duct?''
Answer. Fifteen thousand dollars.
The verdict was ready at five minutes
to twelve o'clock. AT eight minutes to
twelve no agreement had been reached,
as / learned from the officer in charge OF
the jury, and the jury thought of retir-
ing for the night. In front of the court
house he called me back and said
"Wait few minutes.
Within three minutes he called to me
and rang the court house bell. A crowd
quickly gathered Judge Shaw came
and the jury filed in as the CLOCK was on
the stroke of twelve. The verdict was
handed his honor. He read: Yes" to
the first, Eyes to the second, and as he
read the third issue he paused.
1t was the crucial moment. There was
a dramatic scene and every moment was
intense. Judge Shaw then read: Yes
as to J. c. Kilgo and B. n. Duke. Nc
as to w. r. Odell," and quickly came the
answer to the fourth issue. Fifteen
thousand dollars"
The news spread to the quiet streets and
cheers could be heard here and there. In
the court room there was satisfaction
seen on almost every face. AS the crowd
passed into the street there was more
cheering. Judge Shaw thanked the jury
for their services and instructed the
sheriff to see that the members had ,odg-
ing and breakfast. Immediately after
this was done the defendants gave no.
tlce OF an appeal. Inc NeTuiCI dSTees
with the sentiment that have heard ex-
pressed here.
The jury arrived at the fteen thousand
dollars damages by the following
means:
Two Jurors were in favor of verdict
for fifty thousand dollars, one for thirty
five thousand one for twenty-five thou
sand, one for twenty thousand, four for
fifteen thousand, one for ten thousand
one for one dollar and one for five cents
The average was twenty thousand eight
| hundred dollars, and the fifteen thousand
dollar verdict was taken as a COM
promise. The delay on the third count
was that the jury stood ten to two and
| finally the two agreed.
The verdict was drawn recovering if-
| teen thousand dollars with interest
/. thereon from November Is, 1901, until
| paid against DR.. Kilgo, Mr.. B. N. Duke
| and that w. r. Odeli go without pay.
Bond to stay execution in the amount
of twenty thousand dollars was liked By
the Judge.

Jenkins Removed For Using Public Office
For Private Gain.
(By the Associated Press.l

10y the ttSSOCidlCu 1881
Washington, D. c., Nov. 5o.-The
President today appointed Thomas b
Ferguson, Governor of Oklahoma, vice
William M. Jenkins. removed.
In taking this action the President at
tached to the papers the following mem
orandum:
One of the duties of the Territorial
Governor is to enter into contract with
some person or corporation for the keep
ing of the insane Of the territory. Gov
ernor Jenkins made such contract with
the Oklahoma Sanitarium Company, a
corporation, the promoters of which re-
served ten thousand shares of it's stock
for the Governor and subject to his or
banker subject to the Governors orders
ders. The stock was delivered to a
banker subject to the Governors orders
and was turned over to friends whose
political services the Governor thus
sought to reward.
A sound rule of public policy and
morals fcrbids public servant from
seeking or accepting any personal ben
eft in a transaction, wherein he has a
public duty to perform.
A chancellor would not for one moment
retain trustee, who in dealings for the
trust, reserved an advantage to himself
The thought is not to be tolerated that
the President can be less vigilant and eX-
acting in the public's interest
