The democratic senatorial caucus, which met at 11 this morning, organized by elect- ing Senator Gorman to his old position as chafrman. He made a brief speech in assuming the chair and the conference then proceeded to | other ‘business. There were twenty-eight of the thirty-three eratic senators, The remaining time of the session was deyoted largely to the discussion of the present situation in the semate and the Decessity for domocratic harmony and utlity of actign, There was a general feel- ing that the vacancies caused by the re- tirement’ of dexocratic sefators from com- mittees which b Before the prese ljed and It w present demo- called session should be decided that the designa- ve to deal with questions | tion of the members of these committees should be made by a steering committee to be appointed by the chairman of the caucus, but that their selection should later be rat- ified by the caucuss The steering committee for the past con- gress has numbered only seven members, but Senator Gorman requested that the pumber should be increased to nine, which was the number in the days of his previous chairmanship, and this increase was de- cided upon. Mr. Gorman will make his selection of members of this committee in time to have a meeting tomorrow, when the question of supplying the vacancies on the regular committees of the senate will be taken up. The caucus placed in the hands of the steering committee authority to decide for the democrats whether there ehould be & general reorganization of the senate com- mittees, or the mere filling of vacancies on those committees, which will deal with pressing questions during the extra session. There is no doubt, however, that the democratic steering committee will insist upon having some of the committees filled for the reason that the democratic party has lost quite heavily in some of the com- mittees which are in control of the present business. They will ask, for instance, that relations be filled. Senator Bailey retired from this committee before the adfourn ment of the last congress, and, by uni mous consent, Senator Clark was appointed to the vacancy, pected tkat It is ex- the steering commitiee will confirm this action, and also will name a successor to Senator Rawlins on the same committee.

Turner shall be filled. 1t also is probable that they will ask that the places vacated by Senators Vest and Turner on the committee on commerce shall be filled before the nomination of Dr. Crum to be collector at the port of Charleston s taken up by that committee. A similar de- mand probably will be made in all other | nominations over which there may be con- troversy. The caucus was In session for almost two hours. Later in the day the steering committes was named. It consists of Senatorg Gor- man (Md.); Cockrell (Mo.), Martin (Va.), Badon (Ga.), Dubols (Idaho), Money (Miss.), Blackburn (Ky.), Bailey (Tex.), and “Till- man (8.°C.). Man with Wheels Has ¢ m.

The bureau of insular affairs, War de- partment, has just published a pamphlet of forty-eight pages, giving the telegraphic correspondence of Emilo Aguinaldo from July 15, 1898, to February 28, 1899. These telegrams were discovered by Captain John R. T. Taylor, Fourteenth infantry, among & mass of papers captured from tue in. surgent government. / They are sufficiontl> complete to show that tbe insurgent le leaned strongly upon others for advice and counsel, that there was serious opposition to His authority among his own people and that an attack on the Americans at Ma- nila had been fully dec’ded upon before the outbreak of hostilities on February 4, 1899, and that in the event that the struggle should prove successful, the new govern- ment that would have been created would pot have been a republic, as titles of no. | bility were promised to certain insurgent | oMcers.

BUFFALO, N. Y., March 6.—Despite the fact that the police and the officials of the district attorney’s office have declared re- peatedly and continue (o assert that they were really certain of the identity of the person who murdered Edwin L. Burdick and that. person was & woman, they still hesitate to make a decisive move. Suggestions that might glve a clue to the motive for the murder have been eagerly sought and sifted. Innumerable clues have been followed. The police say many of these have strengthened their suspiclons until they are almost positive of the identity of the murderer, but material evidence '8 lacking. Other clues have either led to nothing or resulted in more mystery. The police are less communicative today and there is a widespread fecling that they are at a standstill for the present at least. In theory the police are in a position to lay their hands upon the murderer at any moment, but besides their indirect evidence that would warrant an arrest they are no nearer the solution of the mystery tban they were a week ago, when the murder was discovered. An cfficial in a position to know the exact situation said: “In actual evidence which would support an arrest we are as badly off as we ever were. At the same time are morally certain who the murderer 1s.” “Do you expect an arrest today?" he was asked. “No, not next day." “When do you expect an arres! “When facts that would convince a jury are found to substantiate our theory. We must have strong evidence when we arrest anybody, for we know that as soon as an arrest is made lawyers are standing ready to apply for a habeas corpus writ to rush us into court and make us disclose our case at the first jump."” “Does suspicion still point to a woman?" “It does. It points to one who had to meet expenses amounting to about $100 a month without any visible means to meet them. " “Will you name her?" “We will pame no names until it is writ- ten in the warrant charging the persom with murder in the first degree.” Makes Sure Work. Perhaps the most interesting develop- ment in connection with the crime itself is the interview given by Dr. Marcy, in which he says that the victim's head was Dot only beaten to a- pulp, but that the murderer carefully wrapped a quilt around the murdered man's body to smother any possible outery. If the blows on the head (Jo today nor tomorrow, mor the Il had not been fatal the victim certainly | ARMY would have smothered in the tight folds of the quilt around his head and upper part of the body.

Paine in the Burdict murder case, been in constant consultation with Paine and stands ready to act promptly if any act of the Buffalo authorities should threaten the liberty of his client's wife. Mr. Webster protested strongly against the action of the police toward Mrs. Paine and declared that they dare not arrest her. Today Chief of Detectives Cusack made an Interesting admission regarding one of the details of the murder case on which heretofore he has not talked. Mr. Cusack was asked if the authorities had deter. mined, on the kind of weapon that was used in committing the murder. “They have not,” he replied. atisfled, hower, that the puter was not used in committing the crime. A state- ment that the puter was used was made, but I do not belleve that was the instru- ment. The name of a woman which has been under the searchlight of the authorities for several days, it is sald, has been dropped. . The material evidence which they have been expecting has not been found and they have been brought to bay in that direction.
