The undemanding of the western sen ators, who am Interested In the passage of the financial bill, was that tbe bill agreed to in caucus would be reported to the sen ate at the earliest possible day, and that the election bill would be laid aside for it. They understood also that the new rule would not be reported before the financial mean it re was disposed of, unless it be came necessary to coerce the Democrats with it Into passing the financial bill. The eastern senators, who are not very favora bly ilisiKjsetl toward the caucus bill, voted for it with the understanding that its fate would lie linked with that of the election Mil, and that the new rule would be taken up. lug-alls Proves a Stumbling Block. In accordance with this idea Senator Al drich called a meeting of the committee on rules yesterday afternoon, but Ingalls de clined to attend the meeting because be ia among tne senators minosed to consider ing a change of rules before the finaucial measure is tukeu up. As the Democratic senators would not attend the nteetiug, there was no 0.110mm, and therefore the mtvting could not be held. Ingalls will not attend a meeting of the committee be fore his departure for the west Sunday; therefore the new rule- cannot be reported front the committee before Jan. 1. Sena tor Aldrich can introduce the new rule without action of the committee, but he has no assurance that the majority of tbe senate will vote for it, and he has not de termined therefore that it will be advisa ble to do so. Senator Huunil to Have a Holiday. Even if heshould determine to bring in the rule If would require the presence ofaquo rum of Republican senators to pass it, and enough Republican senators are going home for Christmas to break up the Re publican quorum. Next week will be de voted to debate on one of the three propo sitions considered In caucus the change iu the rules, the financial bill or the elec tion bill. It la generally conceded by Re publican senators that no business will be transacted next week of any impor tance if the senate determines to remain In session, as seems probable. May Be tho Death of Both Bills. Another danger threatens the financial bill. It is a well understood fact that sen ate caucuses are not binding on those who attend tnem. One or two Republican senators have already announced their do termination to vote against the financial bill, and it is probable that it will not re ceive the full Republican vote in the finance committee. A Republican senator earn yesterday that the eastern senators had accepted it only because there was impending a union of Democratic senators with a few Republicans to pass a free coinage bill. If the Republican senators split on the question .of bringing the new rule before the financial measure is con sidered, both the election bill and the financial bill may fail of the required numoer 01 votes 10 pass tnem.

The Bobbers Take iUgbt, The officers stepped toward the stran gers, but before they could reach them tb latter sprang from tbeir chairs and ran out of tbe back door into a vacant lot. Mc Keogh and bis partner were close at tha heels of the fugit ive. Halt way across tha lot, iu the direction of Tilden avenue, one ot the fellows stumbled, and McKeogh's partner juuied on him like a flash. The two men fought like demons fur a moment, one to gain his liberty and the other to re tain his prisoner, but the detective brought tbe encounter to an end by pressing his revolver against tbe stranger's head and ordering him to throw np hia hands. A Seem Chaae aad a Good Shot. In the meantime the other stranger and McKeogh were streaking it across the lot as fast as they could run. McKeogh repeatedly ordered the man to stop, and wheu be saw tbat he was being clearly outfooted and that every jump was put ting mom and more daylight between himsulf and the fugitive ha drew his re volver and fired. The first bullet went crashing through the fugitive's groin and sent him tumbling headlong into a heap OI rubbish, but before KcKeogh could reach him be was on his feet again and making another plucky dash for liberty. Disabled, however, by tha detective's bul let, his speed materially Blackened aad McKeogh aoon had him in custody. ' The Pepalaeo Aronend. The explosion ot tbe revolver reverber ated up and down Tilden avenue with startling clearness, and In an a nazingly short time tbe denizens ot that queer and dirty thoroughfare were thronging about officers and prisoners, demanding tha re lease of the latter. McKeogh's man was bleeding profusely from tbe bullet wound, and was in immediate need of medical as sistance. The officer dragged him through the menacing crowd, forcing everybody to stand aside by threatening to shoot, and got him safely into a livery stable oa Ab erdeen street. A telephone message was sent out for a patrol wagon, bnt before U arrived the crowd had become demon strative. Stood 'Em OffwHh His Ona. Sparred on by thieves who had wit nessed the capture of the pair, a doaen men advanced on the officers and do manded the release of the prisoners. Mc Keogh coolly told them to keep hack and said be would kill tbe first man who raised a band. The threat bad the effect of keeping tbe fellows at bay until a carriage drove up to the stable. Into this the unin. jnrea captive was bundled, and he waa hurried away to tbe Central station, leav McKeogh alone with the wounded man. As the moments sped by and no patrol wagon appeared tbe crowd became more and more threatening. A Knsh That railed. Once it broke tor the officer, aa if to sur round mm, nut ne nrst movement was anticipated by trT6 sharp crack the detect ive's revolver. When tbe smoke cleared away the rescuer were out on tha si da- walk, wbere they had retreatad for safe ty. Uefora they could form for a other advance the patrol wagon came. Tbe wounded man waa lifted into it and hur ried to the county hospital, where he was left in charge of a uniformed Doliceman. The name of one ot the men ia Warlington, that of the other is unkuown.
