CAUCUS or SENATE DEMOCRATS.
Il May Decide on . COurse q Action
Toward the Cuban Reciprocity Treaty.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-A ca ucus OF
Democratic Senators has been called to
meet at II o'clock tomorrow morning.
The ostensible purpose Of the caucus Ia to
All committee vacancies existing on the
Democratic side, due to the retirements
from the Senate but it is not improbable that
the Democrats will decide on q course Of
action toward the Cuban Reciprocity treaty.
There seems to be some disposition on the
part of the Democratic Senators to line up
the party In opposition to the Cuban treaty,
but whether this will be done none OF
them would venture to predict. The caucus
Is also TO elect caucus chairman in place OF
Senator Jones, whose term has expired.
Senator German, who was the Demo
cratic leader for several years before hie
retirement four years ago, Is being urged
TO take up the party leadership again. and
Senator Blackburn of Kentucky has been
making a campaign for the place. Obtec-
tons are raised In some quarters that they
are both new men, this applying particu-
larly to the Maryland Senator, and 1t Is
this class which Is putting forth Senator
element Of the party, who desire more
vigorous action by the minority, although
divided between German and Blackburn,
Is particularly desirous that q leader shall
be chosen who can unite and sohdify the
minority, a condition which has not OBJ
tanned since the silver craze appeared.
They have hopes that N organization OF
the Democrats In the Senate will be per-
fected which will act as a unit on all mat
tiers affecting political policies, and they
therefore want a leader who cannot only
harmonic the conflicting interest but also
one who can really lead. Whoever IL
chosen as chairman Of the caucus, German
viii be the actual leader Of the Senate
Democrats.
The caucus will take up the question Of
a more harmonious plan of action by the
minority on the issues before the country,
and an effort will be made to bring about a
unity OF action that has been conspicu-
o,islv aheant in recent wears

Mr.. Allison Rep.. Iowal speaking with
more earnestness and vehemence than AZ
mended Mr.. Hale's speech. and went FUR
Their by declaring that the rules OF the SEN
ate had stood practically without change
for over one hundred years. that they would
probablystand for some time longer, ana
that, II they did need changing they
would be changed by the Senate itself and
not by any other body. He further declared
that the real reason for the narrow escape OF
the General Deficiency bill was the rule
Of the House itself which II had imposed,
preventing the conferees from presenting
a partial report and receiving the counsel
of the House upon disputed matters. Mr..
Allison said with much force that neither
house was TO be lectursd for its obeerv-
ance of any rules that 1t had seen fit to
make, and much less was 1t to be supposed
that one house could compel tho other TO
change Its rules. He referred with indg-
nation 70 the threat that II the Senate did
not amend its rules the House. backed by
the American people, would compel II TO
do so. He declared that IL 1t were to raise
this issue, he was certain that the change
OF rules would be in the other house. and
that the paople would compel the House
to change its rules.
Mr.. Teller, also one Of the conferees
on the General Deficiency bill. said a few
words condemning Cannon s speech. He
said he has seen at least one hundred viola:
lions Of the rules OF the House committed
by the House itself within the past twenty
Ave years. He declared Cannon's speech
TO be inappropriate and out Of place but
that there was nothing to he done but to
forget IL a. soon as possible. There was
no way Of preventing occasional criticism
OF one house by the other This closed the
incident

Base Ball.

The only entertainment in Opel
ousas on the Fourth of July was a
game of baseball between the St.
Martinville Juniors and the Opel
ousas Juniors, in which the lovers
of the sport were treated to a game
which is seldom excelled in pro-
fessional circles. The boys played
on wet diamond. and every one
expected poor game, but all we're
agreeably disappointed, as it re-
quired ten innings to decide the
contest. 1t would be unjust to
make special mention of any ones
playing, as both teams covered
themselves with glory enough to
make professionals envious.
Sabatier toed the slab for Opel
ousas, and his pitching, with a wet
ball, has never been equaled here
abouts. Broussard did the twirl-
ing for St. Martinyille, and al
though he did not show up as we'll
as usual, his pitching was of
professional type. Following is
the score:
st. Martinville 20 o 0 o 0 Ia
Opelousas .-....-..0 l 0 0 0 0 0-1
Batteries: Hy. Broussard and l.. Voorhies; P.
