The House Caucus,
Shortly after 7 o'clock last, evening the
members of the lower house began to as
semble in the hall of the House of Repre
sentatives, and before 7:30 nearly all the Re
publican members had gathered, and were
busily engaged in discussing the relative merits
of the several candidates for office. 1 Mr.
Fletcher was omnipresent, shaking hands
with old acquaintances and button-holing new
ofifcs, while his right bower, Col. Hicks, was
quite as active but a little more demonstrative.
One colored man and brother was in the lobby
with tickets bearing his name as a candidate
for postmaster, but lie received little atten
tion, and only three votes when the time of
action came. There were a few of
the old familiar faces of past leg
islative sessions here and there, but
the majority of these were disinterested specta
tors, and took no active part in the caucus
ing.
When it was understood that Mr. J. V. D.in
iela had withdrawn from the contest for the
Bpcakership Mr. Dunn's friends
gave up . all . hoi*. 1 , ■ . and
though they voted for their favorite, they did
so with the consciousness that they were beat
en. When Mr. Daniels presented the name of
a relative for the position of second assistant
clerk and Fletcher's friends helped to elect him
it was ut once seen that the whole matter had
been cut and dried, and there was a tacit sub
mission to the Ipec dizit of the boss.
The caactu was called to order at 7:40 p. m.,
by Gen. John B. Sanborn, of St. Paul, who
nominated Hon. J. V. Daniels, of Rochester,
for i liainn.iii. Hi was chosen unanimously.
Mr. Daniels, on taking the chair, thanked
the caucus for the honor, but said it was not
of his seeking of choosing.
EL C. Gearey, of Wahashaw, J. A. Arm
strong, of Martin, and Win. Hall, of .Scott,
were elected clerks 1 .
On motion of Hon. D. M, Snbin, au in
formal ballot for a candidate for speaker of
the House was ordered to be taken.
Mr. S. B. Shcardown nominated Hon. Andrew
('. Dunn, and vouched foriiis ability.
Mr. H. G. Hicks presented the name of
Loren Fletcher, for this office. He pro
nounced Mr. Fletcher one who was well
qualified for the position, and would honor
the State.
The vote ma then taken, resulting as fol
i.iws:

Adjourned.
At the close of the caucus there was a good
deal of dissatisfaction manifesto* with the re
sult. The Mower county delegation was
grcatlv piqued at tlm defeat of Baird for the
postmastersbip. "Wild" Rice took an enor
mous chew of the weed, and said he didn't
care a d— n for the defeat of his candidate, ,n\<)
if the caucus chose to ignore merithe shouldn't
object. The swearing trains will go out
heavily laden this morning, but Ole Fletcher
son is happy, and it makes little difference who
else is dissatisfied.
Tlic Greenback Caucus.
The Greenback Representatives held a cau
cus in one corner of the hall. The entire
strength of the party— Peter McCracken and
J. N. Graling — was present. It was not
deemed advisable to make nominations for all
the offlcesin the gift of the legislature. On
the question of the speakenhip there was .i
radical diversity of opinion, Mr. Graling in
sisting on the nomination of Mr. MeCrackni
and Mr. McCracken on the nomination of Mr.
Graling. As a consequence the party will go
into the House to-day hopelessly divided on
this Important question.

PEACE PRESERVATION BILL.
London, Jan. 4.— The Times in a
leading article says there is no room for
doubt that the stringent peace • preserva- ~
tion bill will be introduced in the house
of commons immediately after the as
sembling of parliament. It is improba
ble that liberty of speech either in the
house or at public meetings will be inter
fered with except by a strict enforcement
of existing law. The article discussing
the warnings of Irish obstruction . says
the house of commons is naturally reluct
ant to accept any innovation upon its tra
ditions of free debate, but if the reasser
tion of law in Ireland is deliberately im
peded by a perverse faction it will be
necessary to consider how such an intol
erable situation can be put to an end.
ARMS.
London, Jan. 3.— lt is stated that 1,000
guns are sent to Ireland weekly from
Birmingham, and that within the la^t
three weeks 5,000 rifles have been sent
therefrom Birmingham.
A TERRIBLE YEAR. > ,
• Lokdon, Jan. 3. — A Dublin correspond
ent says a more repulsive and terrible
year has never come upon the country.
Its history may be written in two words
distress and disturbance. It came in with
a begging box and has gone out with a
bludgeon. It will take many years to re
construct the social system now in ruins,
and few can-be sanguine enough to hope
that the task will be accomplished in the
present generation.
- ?^;rl- : J;... LAND MEETING. •,.... _ •'
. Dublin, Jan. 3.— One iof the , largest
land meetings ever held in Connaught
took place at Lougheia, county Galway,
Sunday. Davitt was the principal speaker.
TRIALS OF THE TRAVERBERS.
Dublin Jan. 3.— The proceedings in
the trial of the traversers yesterday con
sisted principally in reading extracts of
speeches by Parnell, Bigger, Dillon, Sex
ton, Breman and O' Sullivan, to show that
they had encouraged tenants to hold the
farms and pay no rent if reduced rent
was not accepted. At the: rising of the
court Parnell was loudly cheered by the
crowd in the hall. : z-\: \ ;^ ; A
TORPEDO SENSATION. . -
London, Jan. 3.— A scheme to blow up
the Ironclad Lord "Warden guardship, of
the Frith of Forth, is supposed to have
existed for the past week. A torpedo
has been found beneath the bow of the
vessel. A large torpedo net has conse
quently been buoyed around the ship to
keep boats or torpedoes off and other
precautions have been taken. The Lord
Worden is an armor plated steamship of
7,800 tons and carried 18 guns. She is
in coast guard service.
GENERAL FOREIGN.
TOUCHY GERMANY.
Berlin, Jan. 3.— The reports received
here of a demonstration in the ■^Snited
States with the object of protesting
against anti- Jewish agitation here, is pro
ducing a most unfavorable impression, the
feeling being that Germany can tolerate
no intervention in home affairs by a for
eign state.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Pa his Jan. 3— Cardinal Rene Francois
Kfgnier, archbishop, is dead.
The police are preparing to suppress
disorders apprehended on the occasion of
the funeral of the dead communist,
Blanqui.
THE BLESSINGS OK FREE GOVERNMENT.
The Times, commenting on the increase
in the population of the United States,
as shown by the present census, says these
eleven and a half millions of people arc
not a poor, indigent and untaught mass,
such as would be produced in any Euro
pean state by so great and rapid acces
sions to population. They are well fed,
clothed, well to do, and, as a rule, well
educated. There is room and to spare *
for them all, and for as many more during
the next ten years. We can't but look
with some envy on a nation whose easy
lot it is to gather up the good things
which fortune casts to it.
ANNEXATION OF TRABVAAL.
The Pall Mall Gazette in a leading
editorial says there is too much reason to
think that inquiry into the annexation
and subsequent admission of Transvaal
would bring to HghWacts which wonld
make all Englishmen indignant. If an
nexation be maintained it will turn
against us the enmity of every Dutchman
in South Africa. The reasons usually as
signed for not giving up the country arc
little else than shadowy.
London. Jan. 3.— A Constantinople
despatch announces that the representa
tives of the powers have renewed their
recommendation that the porte should
submit to arbitration, but it is not prob
able the porte will adopt the recom
mendation.
''THE TIPTON SLASHER :> DEAD — ROWING
