NO ACTION.

The republican caucus, which met
Last night to discuss the question o.
Cuban reciprocity, adjourned at lO:45
O'Clock to meet sgsin on Friday after
noon after the adjournment OF the ses'
sion OF the Senate on thst day.
In so far IS the caucus adjourned without
reaching definite conclusion, II was drawn
battle. But in view OF the announcement
made in the afternoon by Senator El1ins, the
| lead or Of 'the Boxers" that Cuban reciproc
| ty would be killed forever last night, the sd
ministratiop forces won q victory in prevent
ing q vote for final ad iouInm mt Of the eau us
which would have meant the end Of the
Cuban bill. There were 40 republican Ssna-
tors present Those absent we're Senators
Depew, Dolliver, Kerns, SIMON, Frye and
HsTley.
The administration Senators contented
themselves with statements and explanations
of the bill by Senator Plat, OF Connecticut
chairman of the committee on Cuba, and by
Senator Spooner, the author Of the bill. The
rest Of the evening was taken up with
sTeeches by the Boxers" senator Burrows
making tie long address, followed by short
spec ches by II or 10 Of his followers, In
Guiding Senator Elkins. Every one OF them
declared in the course OF his speech in the
most emphatic terms that he would not vote
for the spooner bill, nor did any one of them
bring forward a compromise measure, though
several OF them advocated rebate, which II is
we'll known will never be accepts by the ad-
mnistTation.
There was no formal motion that the Presi.
dent be empowered TO negotiate a reciprocity
treaty with Cuba. The Boxers" found, TO
their disappointment, that the recruits on
whom they had counted to come to their
standard did not desert the administration
forces, and that they had not the streogth to
force test vote A suggestion WAS made by
the BOXERS" to adjourn the caucus sine die,
which would have ended the fight in their
favor for this sessi N by leaving the bill unin-
dOrsed; bnt the administration Senators pro-
tes ted, declaring that they des re! time to
consider the question further.
The Boxer seeing that Senators Plat
and Aldrich held their forces together, and
that they had not the votes to secure an sd-
iouTnmeRt. did not force the fight, and the
administration, 'teing that they had won the
fret battle, moved an adi ouInment OF the
caucus until Friday after noon, after the Sen-
ate adjourned on that day. This WAS carried
without formsl vote or roll call.
The caucus sdi burning without roll call
leaves the strength Of the two opposir foI oes
Of the republican party still q matter OF con.
lecture and uncertainty.

THE CONsTITUTION.-lt is said that
Chairman Agnew, of the republican
State committee, will, 10 pursuance OF
a resolution adopted by the committee,
consult come Of the sblest republican
lawyers in the court try before deciding
whether or not steps shall be taken to
test the right OF the convention to pro-
claim the new constitution.
Among those whom it is understood Mr..
AgDe6 will consult are Senator HoaT, Of
Massachusetts ex-senator ThurstoD, OF Ne
bIssks aud Judge Lewis, Of Richmond. II
these lawyers think the convention exceeded
its power in proclsiming the constitution, and
that, therefore, it is illegal, steps will be
taken in the higher courts to test this. II
they are OF the opinion that the instrument
is valid, there will be no fight
1t is said In Richmond that no serious inn
portsnce Is alta, he'd to the matter there.
Nevertheless, il is stated. the action Of the re-
publicsns will make sure the refusal Of the
convention to diourn finally and the reten'
ton ct the delegated powers for some time
longer; so, tat If necessary, it may recon-
vene and substitute any section which may
by any possibility be declared void. The
convention will probably never formally ad-
journ sine die but will fix date at which its
extraordinary powers will cease by limit1-
ton.

HOUSE.
The near approach of the end OF the
present session OF Congress was signal
lied by a general political speech by
MIR. Richardson, the leader OF the
minority, and ss stated yesterday he
dslived get speech OF an hour and q
half. He arraigned the republican party
for It's failure to keep It's platform
promises, dwelling especially on the
question OF trusts and the necessity for
tariff reduction.
Mr.. Richardson announced that, In
bis opinion, the gravest danger now
threatening the welfare OF the people
and the country vas the growth Of the
power of trusts. There wac, he de-
clared, an irrepressible cry throughout
the country for government control Of
the great trusts. Congress alone could
heed thst cry. II 1t was not needed,
these remorseless trut t. could proceed,
10 their greed, to defy the power OF the
government it elf. Mr.. Richardson
charged that the growth OF these great
trusts was due to the existence OF the
highest protective tariff ever placed on
the s.stu Q books. There was sworn
testimony OF the bene ficiaries OF the
tariff that It was the "mother OF trus's."
Ia conclusion, Mr.. Richardson
charged the republican party with i'm
proper, scandslous and reckless ex.
travsgsnce. In four years the increase
of appropriations. be said, was 81 ,067,.
100000. For that vast sum OF money
he asked what the U0it I'd States had
gained, and 10 reply read the closing
