Washington, Feb. 21.—There is considerable talk about the senate of the prospect of a Democratic caucus to consider the tariff bill. Senator Gibson of Maryland, who has been co-operating with Senator Gorman and others to secure a duty on coal, said yesterday afternoon that he considered a caucus inevitable and that he thought it would be held during the first part of next week, or iKissibly the latter part of the present [ week. Members of the finance commit1 tee do not consider that a caucus will be I necessary, and they confidently predict | that none will be held. They attribute f the caucus reports to the dissatisfied ele--i ment, and are evidently of the opinion i that they will not Is- able to secure suffi■M cient backing among the Democratic
senators to force a caucus. The meeting of the full Democratic committee does not change the aspect of the situation so far as can be learned, though it came near doing so, and at one time looked as if the meeting might re suit in ordering the calling of a committee meeting today and tlie reporting of the bill to the full committee then. Only the fact that the week will then be halt gone and that the senate will probably adjourn over from today until Monday, on account of Washington’s birthday,
prevented.

Rollcall followed rolleall until 4 o’clock, when, it being apparent that Mr. Bland could not muster a quorum on ins proposition, he moved an adjournment. Members arrested for being absent were excused when, like schoolboys, they were arraigned before the speaker and explained the causes of nonattendance. The session of the senate was devoid of special interest. Senator Daniel of Virginia concluded his speech on the Hawaiian question. While supporting warmly the course followed, he declared that now there was nothing to do but recognise the new government and wish it Godsjieed. Tlie hill for additional printing office facilities was taken up and discussed in a desultory manner the re-
mainder of the day.

Washington, Feb. 21. — Senatoi White’s retirement will make necessary the rearrangement of tin* Democratii •"••mliership of several committees. Tie steering committee has found some ditficnity in the reorganization of the committees made necessary by the retirement of Senator Walthall and the election of Mr. McLanrin. and notwithstanding the fact that McLanrin lias now lieen n. his sent for more than a week lie
questions would have been agreed upon has not yet been assigned to any com
lieforc tliis time and the bill reported h the full committee. There is no feature of the bill concerning which the members of the committee are so noncommunicative as this, and they say they cannot talk for the reason that anything they would say would lie misleading. They are undecided Ik*tween a wish to i * r A report favorable to free sugar and a deL ■sue to insure the harmony of the DemoI * ratio senators and make sure of the passage of the bill in the senate. The duty advocates feel encouraged by the delay, because they do not consider that the postponement of the report can injure them and hope it will benefit ttieir cause. It cannot lie learned whether the subcommittee has shown any favor to the sugar men at all, but if it lias it has cerw tainly not granted all that is demanded. I The opinion current about the senate is I that while a majority of the subcom- ?| mittee is opposed to any duty whatever I on sugar, they will concede about 114 of

Ithal'a, N. Y., Fell. 21.—The culmination of hazing outrages occurred here last night, when this village passed through iUi annual class riot. The occasion was the freshmen banquet at old Masonic hall, and when the boys started down the college hill to the place of their feast they wore in great glee. When they reached the hall they were met by 400 or 500 sophomores, “townies" and seniors, who proceeded to prevent their entrance to tlie building. Potatoes, eggs, stones and what-not flew fast and thick. In the melee two of the rushers wore seized by the police and quickly dragged to the station, where they were locked up. IlHfttHrilly Cmnluct. While the multitude were following the officers, trying to effect an esraiie of the prisoners, the freshmen quietly went up the stairs and made their spread, after which they indulged in toasts and college songs.

The hall was taken possession of by the police, who ransacked the corridors and side rooms to find the source of the gas, and it is now known that the sophomores obtained possession of a side room and situated a generator of the deadly gas so that it was connected with the banquet hall by means of rubber tubes. Miss Jackson, a colored woman who acted as cook for the students, died at 12:20 this morning. She was taken from the hall insensible to the residence ot Dr. Lockrey, where she expired. The doctors say she had lieen subject to heart trouble and had weak lungs. Threats of lynching are openly made, one man exclaiming that lie would help string up the jieriietrators.
