Sir Chas. venner lost no time in

us the least warning OF his intention.
He seized a small thin-bladed knife
and applied its edge with a free sweep

within an inch of the breast bone. A
thin streak OF blood followed the cut
as quickly as thunder follows light

sponge to the wound. and the red line

to round up twelve of the twenty-five who
originally signed the call for the caucus.
Early yesterday many of those who had
signed the call for the caucus discovered
that they had done so under '-misTepreseu-

names As q consequence, the house
