even REPUBLICANS
REVOLT AT CAUCUS
RGapDOFtiORmGRt Bill Causing
Trouble

Washington, February 6-Despite
the decision of the republican caucus
of last night that a re-apportionment
bill shall be passed at this session,
holding down the membership of the
house TO its present 391, many re-
publicans are in open revolt.
One-thiTd of the republican members
refrained from attending the caucus
and some Of these present. like NJ
Longley, of Kentucky, bolted the can
Gus before the final vote was taken in
favor Of 391, so as not to be commits
ted to that scheme.
Others slipped out for the same rea-
son. Republicans from Maine, Ken
lucky, North Carolina, Iowa, Kansas,
Indiana and other states affected are
very much dissatisfied with the &C
ton taken by the caucus. They have
been sounding the democrats to ascer-
tain whether the minority would vote
solidly for a bill fixing the member
ship at 1873, if sufficient republican
votes are supplied to carry the pro
ject and defeat the caucus plan.
There is a strong probability that
there will be votes enough through CO.
alition between democrats and dissat
fed republicans to force the passage
of the Crumpacker plan for 433 mem
bers. Mr.. Burleigh, of Maine, l!

"WAITING AT THE CHURCH"

Twas near the witching hour of mid- night, as Officer Warren patroled his lonely beat on the Northside. His meas ured tread resounded down the streets of cairo-otherwise Scratch Ankle-when he was somewhat surprised and a little startled to see the lights of church close by flash on and off several times in quick succession.
 The paying of a a-consumptive hound and the hoot of a dyspectic owl added some what to the uncanniness of the occasion, but nevertheless the guardian of the night pressed bravely forward even though his hat did raise several inches. Throwing his f1ashlight into the church he saw two negroes in the flesh, but the spirit had fled, for the bottle was empty.
 Officer Warren tapped them both on the head with his club to assure him. self that they were of the earth earthly the hollow sound satisfied him as to that point-and calling out the police reserves he had them conveyed to the city bastile

O. smith, he of round corporosty and expansive smile.
 J, Quincy placed his client on the stand and had him relate all the circumstances connected with the midnight visit to the church. Alexander was willing. He stated that as deacon of the church in question, 1t had come to his ears that the sanctity of the edihce was being pro- faned by nocturnal intruders. and that he determined to prevent if possible further visitations.
 You were Waiting at the church, in other words, suggested Major Smith.
 The defendant-witness assented to the suggestion and proceeded with his state- ment He further testified that his wife had lost parasol, but as 1t was not clear as to this connection with the case. this was ruled out
 Alexander said that when he entered the church he flashed on the light, and there before his eyes lay Peter stretched out on a bench, partly divested of his wearing apparel and actually using the Holy Bible for a pillow, which so mortified him that he threw out the switch to shut the sacrilegious scene from his pious eyes.
 Again he turned on the light and there sat Peter rubbing his eyes and wonder ing whether an angel had appeared to lead him to a much longed for supper or that some one was after his fine linen and costly raiment
 This is where Officer Warren got on with a little fiashight and put an end to the midnight seance.
 Philanthropic Peter admitted using the sacred edi6ce as hostelry, and stated to ;he court that stern necessity had forced him to seek shelter where the hotel clerk would not ask cash in advance, for ow- ing to a misunderstanding with some white gentleman that he had been cooking for, who were camping on the banks of the historic Cahapa, his pay envelope had got lost in the shuffle and he didn't have the price,
 Judge Black interrogated Alexander as to his standing in the church, and whether he believed in close communion or not, what effect immersion did or did not have. but particularly as to by what authority he was the guardian angel of the property. Alex admitted that his au- thority was largely self appointed. al- though he insisted that he had consulted MT Dawkins,' another ebony deacon, and that MT Dawlns'' had tactly con- scented to his (Alexs) supervision.
 The upshot of it all was that Major Smith made a brief though eloquent speech on behalf of the zealous deacon and wound up by saying that his in terest in the welfare of the church was laudable and his object worthy.
 'Yes. worthy of all can give him." re- marked his honor. Twenty-Five dollars" Peter got a similar dose Next time when darkness comes over me- my rest will be a stone, murmured Peter "Nex. time" snorted Alex. 'if dem low down riggar's want to tote the whole shebang off, dey kin do so far as I am con cerned."
 And Peter and Alex accepted the cor dial invitation of Officer Todd to enter the santorium in the northeast corner of the court room for further instructions.
