The proposition was to make the rato on sugar to Salina, Hutchinson, Wichita and Arkunsas City 15 cents per 100 pounds above the Kansas City rate, and on coffoe, beans and canned goods as follows: I'o Salina, 22 cents; Hutchison and Wichita, 25 cents, and to Avkansas City, 28 cents! ‘I'he rallroad commissioners consented to this arrangement and it was supposed the whole matter was sottled, but the managers make the mistake of ssuming that ihey were actually the managers of, their own lines, They bave since been reminded that Chairman Midgley of the Western association has something to say about the matter, A protest ageinst the. pro- posed reduction has been made by certain mombors whose lines do not extend beyond the Missouri river, but who were compelled to reduce their ‘ proportions of through rate under the new arrangement.

At tnat time many of the mombors had arrived and the caucus was very well attended. Senators Take Little Interest. If Mr. Harter thought the invitation to the democratic senators to bo prosent wouald bo gencrally accepted ho was mistaken, for Mr. Butler of South Carolina was the only sena- tor present. A number of the leading domo- cratic senators wero asked during tho day if they intonded to attend tho conforenco. All aeclared they would not do so, and that thoy had enough to ocouvy them with affairs on thoir sido of_the capitol. Tho usual rule limiting speeches in the caucus to five minutes was adopted. Mr. Harter opened thay roceedings with a speech in which he stated tho object in view whon he eirculated the call for the caucus. In accordance with a program which had been outlined at a conforonce between Messrs. Bland, Pierce, Lanham, Robortson and othor earnest free silver men, the quos- tion was put to the antis whether or not they would agreo to bo bound by the caucus roceedings. After some little discussion it was agreed that the conforenco should not bo held as binding upon uny one, and that mem- bers should bo free to vote as thoy chose. In stating the object of tho caucus Mr. Harter made a speech against the advisability of passing a free coinage bill. Wanted a Date Fixed, Mr. Bland of Missouri then offered a reso- lution instructing the committee on rules to bring in a special report orderiag March 25 as the aate on which the silver bill should ve taken up, discussed and kept before tho house until finally acted upon. Against this resolution Mr. Warner raised a point of order, claiming that under the call in response to which the members were present the rosolution could not be consid- ered. The poiut of order was promptly overruled, and no appeal was taken after this decision. Speeches were made by Messrs. Bland, Bryan of Nebraska and Hooker of Missis- sippi in favor of Bland’s resolution. Mr. Williams of Massachusetts spoke 1n opposition’ to the vesoiution, declaring it would be disastrous to the democratic party in the east if adopted. He appealed to the southern membors to stand by the eastern democrats, who, he said had stood by the south against the elections bill. Mr. Fowler of New Jersey in his sneech surprised many of thoso present by tho earnest manaer in which he aavocated action on the resolution. Hesaid the assertion that New Jersey could not be carried on a freo silver platform plank was untrue. New Jersey was a democratic state regardless of the silver question. He had carried his dis- trict by un increased majority with a free silver plank in tho platforn, Urged Deln Mr. Horbort urged delay in considering tho silver question and thought that the in- terests of the party would bo served by not passing the silvor bill now. Mr. Plorco answered those who assorted that free silver would hurt the democratic party. He maintained that free coin- age wus strong with the peoplo end would gain thn party votes. Ho coutrssted the Cleveland voto in 1334 with that of 1885 With a liver: silver plank in 1884 Cloveland had ca Now York, Now Jersey ond Indiana, In 1888 with 4 hostile silver plank bo had lost Now York and Indinna. In 1884 he had cut down the majorities in Wisconsin, Minne- sota_and Towa to small proportions, and in 1858 he lost those stetes by large majorities. 1f a free silver bill wero passed ho asserted that tho result would be large gains for the democrats, especially in tho west. Wost Virginia, North Carolinu and Virginia wore all closo states in which the party woula stand a chance of fosing the presidential elec- tion if tiicpeople's demand for froe coinage were not met. Mossrs. Wilcox of Connecticut, Lynch of Wisconsin, English of Now Jersey and Mc- Kinney of New Hampshire made speeches against the Bland resolution. Debate Grew Tiresome, ‘The debate grow somowhat tiresome, and a8 it was evident thatany conclusion reached would rot be binding, members wers in favor of udjournment. Mr. Ostes of Alabama. a free ‘coinage man, moved to adjourn. Ho said that the anti-free coinage men bad stated that they would not bs bound by the onucus action, ~ He had assurances that tho committee 0. ruies would, 1f the resolution were not adopted, bring in a rule making the Bland bill a special order. He saw no ad- vantage to be gained by a row umong the democrats, [t was evident that the free comage men were in the majority, but no good could come of forcing a vote. A split ocourved smong tho free coinage mou over the motion to adjourn, some favor- ing & caucus adoption of the Bland resolu- tion, 1t was finally decided, howover, to ad- journ, by a vote of elght to fifty-five, M. Plorce started to insist on the yeas and nays being called for the motion for the purposo of pucting those present on record, but at the personal request of Mr. Bland, witharew the motion. ‘I'be result of the caucus seems to be that the silvor question is left just about where it was before the caucus was held. Lhe silver men evidently beiug in a majority, but the minority belug unwilling to be bound by caucus action. This laaves the matter with the rules committoe to decide whethur u spo- cial order shall be brought in, Members of the committee have assured the silver men such an order will bo made and then all menbers of the house ure free 10 vote ds they see fit on the adoption of the report of the rules committee, MINNEAPOLIS FLOUR OUTPUT.

[t seems thut the speech of the emperor has produced a deplorable effec Yesterday at miaday the mounted police charged an immense crowd of work men who wero massed in front of the castle hissing the emperor and the soldiers. Such a sight was never before seen in Berlin. The police arrestod a number of the workmen, At 5 o'clock last evening tho trouble began again at the Brandenburg gate, which is the principal ontrance to tho city. ‘The shops were closea in equence of the disturb ance. T'he Reichstag and the deputies are in quite a stato of excitoment Last night the wouble grew more sorious, In the eastern part of the city the police closed all the public establishments, The mob made n demonstration vefore tho Wall ner and Residence theaters. It broke iuto stores and throw the goods into the stroet, singing “The Marseillaise.”” The police camo upon tho scene and charged the mob with the greatest bratality, wounding quite o number in the crowd and making prisonors of dozons, The whole volitical world is in a ferment ho deputies are at their wits' end, The socialists assert that the polico are respons ble for the troubles, bocause they excited them. There is a feeling that the emperor is in danger. No Cabinet Yot. We are still without a ministry, This fact, which at the first blush has a” humor- ous aspect, shows that France 1s in a worse muddle thin we bad imagined. No party scems willing to lend a helping hand to another party, No statesmun will consent to the least sacrifice. Altogether the state of affairs is depiorable. When the crisis ends we may draw the moral which, 1 feur, will hardly redound to the prestige of Irance. A simmury of the specch which the littlo omperor of Gormany vesterday delivered in Berlin will lave reachied you, It has amazed the political and diplomatic world, A monarch who publicly announces that if his subjects do not like is ideas they had best emigrate is a novelty in tho history of civih- zation. If the emperor really favors emigra- tion, why does the Gierman government oppose it! The imperial speech sets ono thiukine of the persecution of the Protestants by Louts X1V, Nothing could be more startling than the littie emperor’s way of referring to God in his address. His tone suggests that he imagines himself the equal of the Deity. 1 should not like to force conclusions, but I cannot refrain from reminding the Herald of the anxiety folt by the emperor's doctors, three months ago, when I referred to the matter. Itis impossible, however, to attach deep importance to thespeech, which has not caused much alarm. To discuss such an ut- toranco soriously would be mere waste of time. But us the emperor scoms convinced that God inspires all his nctions, it is of course on the cards that some day we may hear that God has put war into his head. Kurope may yet be set aflame by this sad and disquieted imperial crank. JACQUES ST. CERE. EXCITES THE Emperor Willlam's Specch StHl the Subject of Unfavorable Cc t.

The Vossiche Zoitung observes that if all the discontentad left the country, as they aro advised to do by the emperor in his speoch, the adherents of Princo Bismarck would be included among them. The Vos- siche Zotung says; T} at employers of labor who are dissatisfied with labor, and agriculturists njured through the new treaties, would also go. Nobody would bo left, but Catholics.” Y Tho Tagevlatt reminds Germans that the constitution concedes to overy one liberty to express his opinion, ‘The socinlists’ journal, tho Vortwartz, says it doclines for the socialists the em- peror's invitation to emigrate, ndding: *“I'he emperor would rulo over a desert if all mal- coutents left his dominion.” FROM THE CONGO, Intoresting Nows Brought by Recent Trav- torial Africa. tmes Gordon Bennett,| Burussers, Feb.
