Y., March 29.—The third session of the reconvened -democratic senatorial caucus lasted tonight just long enough to permit of a motion for an adjournment until 10.30 o'clock to- morrow morning. = The ayes on this motion wera feeble compared with tI chorus of noes from members who had been packed in the extemporized coun- cll room at the city hall nearly an hour. It had been the expectation of many that an overnight agrzement would be reached whereby the-insurgents would feel their way clear to attending in a body, but this expectation was not realized. Senator Loomis, who has been vot- ing with the insurgents, said: “I think that we may do business tomorrow or next day. Meaniwhile there appears to be a di- vision among the republicans on the expediency of helping the insurgents 1o select 2 man of their choice. “This lack of unanimity in the repub- lican ranks is understood to have en- couraged the regular democrats to pro- crastinate in the hops of an emergency arising by which they can make a bet- ter bargain with the insurgents. Some of the leaders said tonight the fire at the capitol furnished an. ad- mirable pretext for carrying out this programme and that a legislative Te- cess of several days was imminent. The last day on which a senator can e elected who can take his seat at the opening of the extraordinary session of congress is next Monday. ESCAPED PUNISHMENT BY HANGING HIMSELF.
