Tlhils much was deterroined by t he refusal of tilie oaucuo to act affirma tively upon propositions whldh >haid In view both cloture and ithe pussag? of •the pop-gun bills. Afte r* long dEacusslon the caucus deckled upon cer.tkftn measures of pro posed Iegji8lciit2ian to be presented for •the oonaiderolflion of the senate, and puslhed to completion 4f possible.

The recommendations of the president and Secretary Carlisle were only touched upon in on informal manner. The recom mendations were neither indorsed or con demned. The fmanco committee wms asked to prepare such a currency bill as they deemed best and report It at an early day, and the “steering committee" was instructed to make it one of the favored subjects for legislation. The bankruptcy bill was the only one upon which a vote was taken, the nbsult being 21 to 4 In favor of pushirg it through—a vote so nearly unanimous that no record was made of It. Tho other matters were incorporated in the order of business without objection. Those absent from the caucus were Senators Butler, Gray, Irby, Brlco, McPherson, Hill, Mitchell and Blackburn. All of these are out of town except Mr. Mc- Pt'oreon, who 1b 111. Mr. Voorhccs re mained but a few minutes and then went up town to one of the departaicnts.

The whole situation has been canvassed from every point of view and the final and irrevoca bio conclusion reached that there can Vs no. “tinkering” with the bills that went Into effect on the 28th of *\ugu&t !ust for the first effort la that direction will be the commencement of a contest that will Imperil matters in which the party is vitally concerned and In which the leaders Intend to push.

Part of th» amount wan charged to Brady and pant to tho les- oeas of 9he garden. The witness sabl -he thought that Slariagor Brady in pay ing the money was but follonrlws the usual oils ham, Mr. Brady 'then took the stand. "W'hat did you do with oho 5250 you draw from uhe toot office in Madison Square garden?" “I did not draw 5250; bult what I did draw. 1 paid to Mr. Ben Sherwood, the oupeplntenlienlt of lllhe garden.'’ "How came you tb pay air, Sher wood?" “Well, ho stopped up ail night, build ing the ring and imaklnlg the prepara tions. x aftways gave him money when I had an exhibition." “Now/Mir.

Tho police of Paris, toe sfratdd, were pild nothing -for keeping order at an enter tainment. “I think,’' mill he, "thait New York has oi. unique individuality in tlhe line of panting police blackmail.” Gurtuv Norval, manager of the St. James hotel, Was next rolled.
