Washixc ton, Dec. 4. For two hours
and a half the Democratic members of
the Senate caucus discussed the order of j
business 11 lis afternoon behind closed
doors and ut the expiration of that timej
were unable to agree, and adjourned to
meet sgain Thursday. TJ Sre was not ati
any time a full representation of the ma4
ority present, and when the hour of 4
b'clock caiae the number had dwindled
jto twenty- ;hree, hardly sufficient to take
positive" action on any proposition,
j The caujcus was called ostensibly tc
consider ai order of business and to de
cide what measures should be giyen
preference in the work of the session.
There w as a great difference of opin
ion and almost before the caucus knew
it, it was plunged into a discussion as t0
the advisability of attempting to change
the rules Jbo as to provide for cloture anjl
the counting of a quorum. The men
who advefcated this are those who desire
to tee thej so-called pop-gun bills of the
House passed by the Senate. . j
Senator Harris admonished his asso
ciates tbt this was the short sessiop;
that a vast amount of work was befo(e
the Senate and it behooved their party to
get together at the earliest possible
moment nnd.sgree upon some plan jf
action;. This suggestion met with favor
but, upon the details, no agreement
could be reached. ,
Senator Daniel, brought things to a
climax by offering a resolution declaririg

say ing th at it would xpen the way to a
debate, tb e Republicans would be glad i ;o
meet, an i end only in thexonsumptic n
of time that would ultimately imperil

senator r aulkner called the attention
of the caucus to the importance of pass
ing the statehood bills for the lernto-
rie3 of New Mexico and Arizona during
the short session. X !
There & as seme very plain talk in re
gard to the pop-gun Tariff bills and the
sentiment wa3x pretty evenly divided.
Senators ones and Harris agreed with
SDme 6t tlieir colleagues that these meas
ures ouglpt to be passed, but they very
frankly told their colleagues of 'the dif
ficulties that l9y in the pathway of. suc
cess and asserted that the Republicans
had informed them in the Finance com
mittee that nothing touching the tariff
should be enacted into law at this ses
sion. ( Both gentlemen acknowledged
the ability of the Republicans, lowing to
the short session, by dilatory tactics, to
keep the. threat they made, and advised
the caucii3 that it would be time lost to
attempt the passage of the Bill, j

LOUISIANA SUGARS.
Effects of the Sugar Trust to cflose the
Market8ofthe Country to jThem.
New Orleans, Dec. 4 There has
been a great deal cf excitement on the
floor of the Sugar Exchanged
several
days past over the report that the Sugar
trust had been using its influenqle to the
detriment of Louisiana sugar and was
yirtually excluding it from the jmarkets
inwhich it came into competition with
the product manufactured by the trust.
Thei cause of the excitemenl among
the membersofthe Sugar Exchange in
this city i3 found in the receipt f a let
ter a day or two since by a prominent
firm of sugar brokers of this city
from abroker in Omaha j Neb.,
in which the fact became prom
inent that the Sugar trust waslsvorking
to the! detriment of xthe Louisianasugar
by cohtracting with the associations tC
wholesale grocers of that district to
handlo only standard, or "trusf sugar.
It appears that the wholesale grpcers of
Omaha-have been "approached! bytbe
agents of the trust, and overtures have
been iniade whereby tb.8 .grocfers con
tracted to list theLouisiana granulated
s'ugarj which is lower than the trust
sugar, at the same figures aske for the
standard. This, accordingto the state
ment of the sugar people ofthis city,
virtually means the shutting oujjof the
market of the5 , Louisiana product, as,
owing to the fact that tb'se sugars are
not widely known, the former product
will bb exclusively handled. x
The: trust in making xthe proposition
above, requires of the wholesale dealers
that they shall sell the standard granu
lated at a certain figure. When; the pur-
cbased etock
is exhausted, sold at the
figures named by the trust, the latter
allows the dealer a rebate cn thej product
sold and insures him a fair profit on his
deal, j The proposition was favorably
considered by the dealers, fol it gives
them a profit on the transaction! no mat
ter at what figures the sugar is sold. In
addition to this the trust further! requires
that the dealers refuse jto list Louisiana"
yellow clarified sugars. The assent to
this on the part of the dealers Excludes
this grade of sugar from the markets oi
the country. j ' j

A FREE
SILVER BILL

INTRODUOEX) IN THE HOUSE
BY MR. HARTMAN.
Efforts to Get Jthe Kecaragua Canal
Bill Before the House Its Advof
.cates Consulting; Speaker Crisp
A Courtj-Martial Sentence
Reduced Decrease of
Money in Circulation
This Year.
i
Washington J Dec. 4. The first Free
Coinage bill ol the session was intro
duced in the I use to-day by Mr. Hart
man, Republican, of Montana. The bill
provides for a silver dollar of 412 grains
of standard
silver
and authorizes the
holders of silver bullion to the amount of
$100 or more td
have the same coined at
any United
States mint. The dollars
coined are to
be a legal tender for all
debts public an
d private. j
This fripnn'n nf ti NipBrnonmn f,arta
biU are making an effort to get it before
the House. MrL Mallory, of Florida, who
was ,the chairman of the special com
mittee which framed the bill now on the
calender, had a conference this morning
with Speaker Crisp regarding the meas
ure. The Speaker has been regarded in
the past as being hostile to the proposi
tion, but the impression is based upon
his objection Ijo giving it consideration
at the last session. In his talk with Mr.
Mallory Speaker Crisp manifested no op
position to tho measure, but on the con
trary promise i to bring it . to the atten
tion of the Co enmittee on Rules at their
next meeting, The bill, under any! cir
cumstances, rill meet with fierce antag
onism from certain, democrats, who will
oppose it on c jnstitutionaljgrounds. j Mr.
Mallory says if the measure can be
brought to a ifote it will pass.
Secretary lerbert has decided to re
duce by .one-half ,the sentence imposed by
court-martial upon Lieut C. F. Norton,
the executive officer cf the cruiser
Adams, who vas recently tried at Mare
Island for pei mitting that vessel to run
on the Pribyloff islands. The sentence
suspended hiijn from duty for one 'year
and to loss of numbers during the time,
secretary He: bert will reduce the time
of suspension to six months.
Since the Stewart syndicate was
awarded the entire bond issue of $50,
000,000 only 2,100,000 in gold have been
withdrawn from the treasury in ex
change for legal tender notes. In the
ten days preceding the acceptance of
that bid and when it was under con
sideration the withdrawals of gold in ex
change for treasury notes amounted to
only $5,000,000. The aggregate of gold
withdrawals from the treasury in con
nection with the last bond j issue
has been 17,100,000. The go'.d I with
drawal in connection with the previous
$50,0C 0,000 bond issue was in the neigh
borhood of $ao,000.000. Ihe circulation,
according to the official treasury state
ment issued to day, decreased during
the month bf November $34,866,971,
making the circulation of all kinds of
money in thejUnited States on December

early loss was more than recovered, ex
cept in the case of St Paul and North
western, which rallied to 58 and 99J re
spectively. After the Grangers, the In
dustrials were most prominent in
the dealings. Sugar dropped to
821 and, later, advanced gradually to
85. The dividend matter is much dis
cussed in speculative circles. Usuallv

opinion that the Havemeyer interest will
succeed in bringing about a reduction in
the rate. While the dividend meeting is
scheduled for to-morrow, it is likely that
action will be postponed until the effect
of President Cleveland's message to Con
gress is known. Chicago Gas gave every
evidence of covering by an important
short interest. - New firms were em ployed
to buy in the stock.which rallied from 69
to 72. The general list, after the opening
weakness, improved and closed strong.
Sterling exchange was not as strong as
on yesterday and money was decidedly
easier, a broker having off ered $2,000,000
at 1 per cent, on call. The report of
Secretary Carlisle had no influence what
ever - on speculation, which closed
strong, which prices anywhere from i
to 2i per cent, higher than on yesterday.
American Tobacco fell 1, St. Paul H
and Bay State Gas i per cent. Total
sales were 182,000 shares, of which
66,500 were Sugar, 36,500 St. Paul, and
27,500 Chicago Gas. The bond market
was dull and higher.
Chicago. Dec. 4. The opening of the
grain markets to-day was a promising
one. Wheat was up from to a 4c from
the closing quotations of yesterday, the
other cereals exhibiting equal strength.
In wheat the advance was not substan
tial, short sellers and holders alike
taking advantage of the situation and
selling freely. Among the noted local
professional who disposed of wheat in
liberal quantities were Ream & Linn and
they naturally had a- good fol'owiog.
Pardridge was also an active seller.
BradstreeVs report of the world's visible
supply brought about a spurt at noon,
but it was evident that the rally it
caused was being waited for, the offer
ings multiplying at every slight fractional
advance, until the market finally yielded,
prices dropping back to the lowest point
of the season, the decline being checked
by buying against "puts." Cash wheat
trading was at an advance of ic over
yesterday, but the nominal close was
weak with the futures.
After previously resisting all efforts at
depression, the corn market gave way to
selling, in sympathy with wheat during
the latter part of the session. Uash corn
was firm and higher prices ruled in that
branch of trade. The average advance
was tc. ;
Oats absorbed some of the weaknet s of
wheat, but did no decline much, owing
to the extremely light volume bf trade.
Cash oats were firm. Trading was at
an advance of I to ic, the close being
nominally easier. j
The product market was without fea-?
ture, prices drifting downward from
ack of support. The live hog market
was weak and lower, which furnished
the excuse for weakness early. Later,
the direction taken by wheat was imi
tated by provisions and the close was at
the lowest point of tho day. The world's
stocks of lard were said to have in
creased 36,000 tierces during the past
month, which was an item in favor of
weakness. Closing prices were 224c
low than yesterday for January pork. 10
to 121c lower for January lard and l5c
lower fqr January ribs.
