The ‘Vork of the Republican
Caucus Committee.
. WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. -——The Republic-
ans of the senate‘will hold a caucus on
Tuesday, when the caucus committee
will make a full report on committee as-
signments. Thevcommittee was in session
again yesterday, but did not complete its
,work and will meet again today. The
Republican list, when adopted, will be pre-
sented to the Democratic caucus for its
consideration, and the test of the ability
of the Republicans to Organize may come
on Wednesday or Thursday.
A number of additional chairmanships
have been finally agreed upon. In addi-
tion to those that have been heretofore
named are the following:
Civil Service and Retrenchment—
Pritchard of North Carolina.
Education and Labor—Shoup of Idaho.
Enrolled Bills—Sewell of \ew Je.rsey
To Examine the Several Branches of
the Civil Service—Pefi'er of Kansas (Pop. ).

(Pop )
Relations with Canada—Carter of Mon-
tana.
Revision of the Laws—Burrows of
Michigan.

(Pop ).
The committees on irrigation, organi-
zation and expenditures in the executive
department, Pacific railroads, railroads,
transportation routes to the seaboard,
.quadrocentennial, national banks and to
have not been definitely determined, all
of them being set apart for the new men.
Speaker Reed worked until midnight
last night at his rooms at the Shoreham
arranging the house committees. He has
denied himself to all callers except such
of the members as he desires personally
to consult. Notwithstanding the belief to
*the contrary, a number of representatives
have declined to embarrass the speaker by
applying for committee assignments.
Mr. Reed therefore has sent for the gen-
tlemen and consulted with them 'as to
their preferences, believing that he Oan
better perform his work with this knowl~
edge than withOut it. It is not likely that
the committees will be ready to be an-
nounced before next Saturday, which will
doubtless delay the holiday adjournment
until that date.
1 A Fight on Coppinger. .
The American Protective association is
engaged in vigorous warfare through peti-
tions and otherwise against the confirma-
tion of the nomination of General J. J.
Coppinger to be brigadier general. ' The
petitions charge that General Coppinger’ 3
promotion is made over the heads of a
score of skillful, brave and gallant officers,
and assert that he has become an Ameri-
can citizen only within the past three
years.
They further say, “He is the Irish R0-
man Catholic volunteer who, with others,
IX against the freedom and unity of Italy
and who for pretended gallantry was
created bythe pope a chevalier of St. Mi-
chael and made honorary aid de camp to
Pope Pius IX.”
The petitions are in printed form and
all set feith the same facts and argu-
ments. The nomination is now before the
committee on milita' affairs and has not
yet been considered'by the committee.
The state. department has practically
completed the disbursement of the $1, 500,-
000 deposited by Spain'in payment of the
More claim. There has been several
months’. delay in disposing of the 40 per
cent of the amount due to attorneys and
their assignecs, and at one time it looked

BERLIX, Dec. 16.—Tl1e;-refcrences which
President Cleveland 111 e to the restrio
tions placed upon Amer on trade and in
surance in Germany in s recentmcssagu
to congress have been f owed 11p by deg
nite action upon the part of Mr; Theodor:
Runyon, the United States embassadci
here. Mr. Runyon has already commences
making diplomatic representations on thi
subject of the vexatious restrict-ions placed
upon American meat imports and insur-
ance companies, and the out-come, is await
ed with interest.
The four days of budget debate in th.
reichstag were edevoid of interest save fol
a couple of incidents—the utterances 01
General Bronsart von ' Schellendorf, the
minister for war, on reform in military
trials, the Fourth battalions and the two
yearS’ serivce and the fierce Socialist at
tack upon the government by Herr Bebe].
It is now officially admitted that th:
Fourth battalions are in every sense a
failure and have reduced instead of in-
.creaslng the efficiency of the regiments,
The two years’ service quest: on is still un
decided.
Throughout the week, however, the So
cialists stood in the center of public atten-
tion. Herr Behel' s impassioned recrimina
tions against the existing order of things
were listened to with rapt attention even
by the chancellor, Prince Hohcnlohc, Gen
eral Bronsart ‘von Schellcndorf and the
Conservative loaders. His hitter slaps at
the emperor elicited vociferous applause,
from the Socialists, and his historical quo-
tations, showing that in Prussia revolu
tions have alwa) 5 been made from on high
instead of f1 cm below, were especially apt
"and unanswrrable. ‘
r'ocialistic"Bills.
A passage at arms occurred in the
reichstag between llerr Singer, the So-
cialist leader. and Dr. von Boetticher, the
imperial secretary of state forthointerior.
The latter, in reply to a taunt, rejoined
that he would never stand in the way ol
Socialists who chose to criticise 1n the:
reichstag immorality in the higher cir-
cles of society
During the coming week Herr Lfeb
knecht intends to deliver a speech on “So
cialistic Baiting,” which is expected to
make a great impression.
The Socialists have introduced long
strings of bills in'the reichstag, includ
ing proposals to eliminate from the penal
code the paragraphs against lese majost-e,
to pass a law of a liberal tendency on the
right of assoiciation, to replace the spe-
ciallaws of the various states of Germany,
to make eight hours’ work per day obli-
gatory everywhere, to make the franchise
uniform throughout Germany and to
amend article 3l'of the code so as to re-
quire special authority from the 1'eichs'1'
tag for the purpose 'of imprisoningamemi
ber of the reichstag
At 12 mass meetings in Berlin on Tues-
day evening, addressed by Socialist mem-
bers of the rcichstag, a uniform protest
was adopted condemning the government
methods of destroying the Socialist party
organization. In the Fifth election dis
trial; of Berlin 5,000 persons were present,
and the police dissolved the meeting when
the election of a political representative
was proposed.
The Abcndblatt of Stettin has collected '
and published data showing that since
Aug. 1 there have been sentences aggre-
gating 81 years and “ months in jail and
5 months’ imprisonment in a fortress im-
posed for less majeste within Prussia

It is now certain that the successor of

ment’s opinions.
The Krcuz Zeitung, the Conservative
organ, which has been somewhat silent
since the disgrace and flight of its former
editor, Baron von Hammerstein, has final-
ly recovered 'itsvoice, and in a vigorouss
editorial says:
“Next to the measures dictated by health
we consider that the government must be
accorded the right and duty to do every-
thing pessible to keep the German market
for German cattle. The same applies to
American bacon. In both cases German
agriculture must claim as 11 right to en-
force a policy in its own interests as op-
posed to those of foreign competitions.”
The manner in which his majesty re.
ceived the presiding officers of the reichs-
tag has been unpl asantly commented up-
on. He did not 5 lake hands with them,
and his behavior was extremely reserved
and frigid. The whole audience last-ed but
three minutes, and contrary to custom on
all previous occasions, no reception by the
empress followed
It is understood that the emperor de-
sired to show his displeasure at the fact
that the three temporary officers of the
last session, all members of the opposi-
tion, had been re-elected.
FAILED FOR $1,000,000,
James B.
Pace, the Richmond Banker.
Makes an IAssigfiment.
RICHMOND, Dec. 16.—Jmnes B. Pace,
president of the Planters‘ National bank
and the Virginia Trust company and a
large tobacco manufacturen has made an
assignment, naming James ..T Montague
and George L. Christian as trustees. The
failure caused gloat surprise in business
circles. Mr. Pace was regarded as one Oi
the most solid business men of the city
He has been a public spirited cit zcn, giv
ring large contributions to religious and
charitable enterprises. A few years ago he
gave 360, 000 to build Park Place Metho-
dist church.
The liabilities are estimated at $Il, 000, -
000. and it is said that the assets aggre-
gate more than that sum. There are five
classes of creditors. The Virginia Trust
company is preferred in the sum of
$22, 205; the second class aggregates
$269, 000, and the third class 374, 000.
The fourth class 11‘ made up of holders of
certain notes. and. the fifth class is Mr.
Pace’s creditors in the north, including
banks and other financial institutions.
The Planters’ bank will 11 it be serious-
ly affected. Mr. Pace and his wife made
a deed of bargain and sale conveying to
the bank real estate in this city worth
about $280,000. If this is sold at a fair
price, it will more than cover his liability
to the bank.
President Montague says that the bank
has about» $200,000 in currency, which he
. thinks will be ample to meet any run that
may be made.
It is understood that Mr. Pace has been
unlucky in recent speculations. He is be-
lieved to have lost on cotton and proton?
bly was caught for a large sum by the
tumble in the American Tobacco compa-
ny’s stock. _. . I1
