C., April 13.--Re publican senators are looking about for troubie and it seems now among the certainties that the serene and Threwmg Begins well bred quietude which is so dis-| tinguishipg characteristic of that club of gentlemen who meet in the north wing vu: the capitol, and is| generally called the senate of the United States, is to be violently dis- turbed. The republicans held a fiery cau- cus this morning. They resolved to fight to the best of their ability against what they call the democrat- ie programme of stifling investiga- tion. They werein caucus until the hour for the meeting of the senate and strong speeches were made by Senators Hoar, Chandler and others in favor of a determined resistance to the democratic effort to adjourn. The republicans will insist that the Roach resolution be adopted pro viding for an inquiry into the right of the senate to investigate the charges, and that the Ady resolution shall be broadened so as to meet the question of Senator Martin’s right to his seat. The disposition to force the fight- ing in the Kansas case was shown - by Senator Sherman when he intro- duced the memorial of a lot of re- publican members of the Kansas legislature showing the manner in which they had elected Mr. Ady. The republicans desire something morethan a consideration of the right of Mr. Ady to a seat in the senate, because they have little faith in his title. They would like to see the seat declared vacant, and with this in view will insist that Senator Martin’s right to his seat shall be called in question. If the seat is declared vacant, the republicans in the Kansas legislature are expected to unite with the anti-fusion demo crats to elect a senator of the Jatter element. One part of the caucus programme which was promptly revealed in the senate, is to insist upon a quorum in disposing of these questions and to insist that democratic senators shall not violate pairs to make a quorum. DEMOCRATS ARE PREPARED. The democratic senators say this morving’s caucus of the republicans means fight. Thsy announce that they are ready. A democratic sen- ator speaking to the Times corres- pondent said to-day: “I know noth- ing personally and but little by hearsay of the facts in the case of Senator Roach. It was my idea, as it was Senator Gorman’s contention that the senate had no business sending a smelling committee back into a senator's history made long years prior to his coming to the senate. Tne legislature of his state selects him, and if it feels pleased and secure in its choice and satistied therewith, it would seem to me that the s- nate might rest content. But Senators Hoar, Chandler et al, re publicang, are determined the other way. They want to go back fifteen or twenty years on Roach’s trail and they also want to try Martin's title to the Kansas seat. They have no faith in Ady’s election, but will try and have Martin’s seat declared vacant. It is rot probable that either Roach or Martin will be un- seated. “But this will happen. When an attempt is made to pull down Roach and oust Martin, a retaliatory war will at once be commenced on Quay and Mitchell. Quay’s story is well known, and has been told and retold. It is simply two or three plain cases of embezzlement, so plain and clear that even Harri son, when president, believed and acted on their truth, and half the republicans of Pennsylvania stand States senator. He was rich and jhad ecquired a secoud wife anda new family. His name and his looks j were changed aud he did not ex pect recognition But a man met him that day that new him in a flash It was his old partner whom years) before he had left in the lurch. “Just a minute, Mr. Hippie,” said the oldtime partuer, “L want to talk to you.” “You've made a mistake,” repHed Senator Hipple-Mitchell, trying aj bluff, “My name is Mitchell, not Hipple. I'ma United States sena-| tor.” | “You may be a United States sen- ator and your name may be Mitch- ell, but you used to be my partner and your name was Hipple, and you aud I are goiug to settle up before we part. I’ve been looking for you for some time.” “Well, they settled and no one knows just where to find that part- ner. He got his money and took no more interest in ¢he senator. But all these facts are known in his case as well as in Quay’s, and,if the blaukets are to be shaken out and Hoar and Chandler are going in for a regular senatorial house cleaning. the order will be to open fire all along the line. There’s going to be some fun. Gor- manand the other democrats are willing to defer the row until fall, but if need be absentees will be wired for, the ranks on both sides will be filled up and will fight it out, One thing is sure, the republicans won’t have any the best of it when the war is over.” Buried Treasure. Carthage, Mo., April 13.—While plowing on the McGuire farm, five miles northeast of Carthage, Charles Tullis turned up a lot of money which had evidently been buried there for safe keeping. The ground at this spot had not been plowed for ten years. Great secrecy is maintained as to the amount, but the report is that it is large, and un- less proof of ownership is forticom- ingsthe finder, who is greatly excited over it, will keep it. During the war this section was invaded by both armies, and it is likely that money was hid by parties living near by at the outbreak. It was buried at a depth of 8 to 10 inches. Some mouths ago parties came from Texas to try and discover hidden treasure in this city, but seemed uncertain as to the location Some think this may be a part of what they sought. Leadville, Colo., April 12.—In the city early this morning a fatal fight occurred, in which five men were concerned, and while one man was mortally wounded one other was terribly and seriously cut about the head. The three Mar- ran brothers and John and James Finnegan were drinking in a saloon, when Thomas Marran kicked a dog belonging’ to John Finnegan. The latter resented this by slapping Marran, and in an instant all five men were fighting, and before they could be separated Terrance Marran was knocked senseless by a blow from an iron poker wielded by Finnegan. A physician was sum-} moned, but betore his arrival the | row was renewed, and John Finne-} gan fired a shot at Owen Marran, striking him in the breast, from the effects of which he died to night. Both of the Finnegans are under ar- rest. Chicago, Ill., April 12.—Mrs. J. T. Thomas tells a remarkable story of an encounter she had with female robber. About 4 o’clock her door- bell1ang, and upon going to the door Mrs. Thomas was confronted by a stylishly attired woman who asked to be allowed to enter the hall that she might arrange her clothing. As soonas the door was closadt e stranger drew a revolver and order- |Mr. Crosby, “occ | written the above iiues.

Wanting some fruit I stepped out into the doorway of a 7-by 9 shop kept by a woman and proceeded to make my wants known. There was a half-witted dumb fellow in the shop and while I was bargaining with the woman another man whom I did not closely observe stepped up from behind me and professed to assist me in explaining matters to the woman. Completeing my pur- chase I crossed the street and then went down a long flight of stone steps which led to San Francisco street, on which my room was. Ino ticed when at the top of the steps that theman had followed me but thonght nothing wrong of it. “Twas a pub- lic thoroughfare and San Francisco street was well lighted. I felt some appreleusion, because the man kept 80 close behind me. At the bottom of the steps I was less than 100 yards ny Walking briskly off. I had got about 25 yards or so from the steps when the fellow suddenly rushed around in front of me, said something in Italian in a fierce but suppressed tone and made aclutch at my throat.

The surgeon dressed my wounds, aud I proposed to the police to ac- company them to the shop where I got the fruit, as the woman or the dumb man would be likely to know the villaic. This they thought a good plan provided I felt able for it. Ihad lost considerable blood and my underclothing was saturated, but Isaw that it was important that they commence at once to look for the scoundrel. This was done with what results Ido not know.
