DEMOS TO CAUCUS TODAY
Will Try to Get Together on Some
Of the Pledges Made Last
Fall.
NO PLAN FOR KNITTING YET
CFrom a staff Correspondent


LINCOLN. Feb. 2i.--(Special )-DemO-
Gratis Of the house have found It advisable
10 cali a caucus to get together on some
Of the platform pledges made the people
last fall One OF these is the bill to elect
supreme court judges by districts.
There is much opposition to the bill
aud 1t may take lot OF amending before
1t meets with the approval of the mem
bers. The Lanigan bill. which is the one
under controversial. divides the state into
nine districts. This, in the minds OF some
of the members, is too radical change
and they want to leave the membership
on the bench as it is with seven judges
and then elect the six associates from
each of the six congressional districts
with the chief justice elected by the en-
tire state This may meet the approval
Of the majority. provided that Lanigan
is willing to accept the amendment
The Main Thing Discussed.
This viii be the main thing which viii
be taken up by the caucus, although other
things will be discussed. among them the
appropriation bills, which, 1t Is reported,
will he ready some time during the week.
IL is understood that the finance, ways
and means committee is not yet clear as
TO lust how much the departments Will
be cut II is said that II is not pleased
with the system of charging up expenses
in the case of examiners of the different
departments. One member of the COM
mitttee, so II is said. favors a plan to
discover just how much the average ex-
aminer needs for his work and then pay
him a salary sufficient TO cover those
needs and then IL is up to him to spend
what he likes.
Make Many Trips.
II is said that some examiners have
been in the habit OF making examine
tons in some town short distance out
in the state, and. instead of staying there
until the examinations are complete, run
into Lincoln every night. and the state
pays the expense. One round trip is all
the committee thinks an examiner Is en-
titled 20 and if plan can be arranged 1t
is probable that something will be fixed
up which will prevent an examiner from
spending his whole appropriation just be-
cause he is afraid that If he does not he
won't get the same amount for the next
biennium.
Scare Into Departments.
The scare that was put into the state
cut out promiscuously has to some extent
died out although there is enough uncer-
tainty hanging about to keep the cold
sbivers travelling up and down the
spinal column whenever the matter is
brought up.
Another matter which may be discussed
is the difficulty which the university
committee is having over the investigs-
AZ. 9
money appropriated by the. state. How
ever, the war clouds have begun to disap-
pear since the battle of last Thursday,
and. as the regents have decided to make
an itemized statement of their needs, d.
Viding up the departments about the way
Chairman Taylor contended, there may be
no more controversy over the matter.
1t is understood that the caucus may
be called some time Monday and an
agreement as to future action on legisla-
ton taken

the action Of the markets in Chicago
and New York for the last few days
lends color to their views. In the local
market yesterday the Consolidated EX-
change figures for May delivery touched
81 507., while in Chicago 81 Ala was
recorded. and the tension became so
great that brokers refused &c take any
more orders for wheat deals unless the
usual margins were doubled.
Trading seemed to resolve itself INTO
one crowd of bulls selling to another
crowd. and there were apparently no
hears in sight. In addition to this,
Liverpool reported an excited market
for wheat. with a keen demand, and
the Argentine markets were hrm ana
advancing.
All this had it's effect on American
millers. and they began rush Tor
wheat. which resulted in one firm IN
the Northwest being credited with pur-
cbases of 100000 bushels at near the
top. Both in Chicago and New YORK
there was slight recession before the
close of trading. but it was credited
