The caucus was harmonious, About seventy members were present, Mr, Cox, of New York, presiding. Mr, Caine, of Utah, made an earnest speech in favor of the admission of Utah as a state in the Union. Bhe bad, he argued, a sufficient population, and the law was such that no one could vote who did not take an oath renouncing polyg- amy. Bpeeches were made favoring the di- vision of Dakota by Mr. Dockery, of Mis sours; Mr. Mansur, of Missouri, and Mr. Voorhees, of Washington Territory. The Istter strongly favored the admission of Washington Territory as astate. Mr, Oates, of Alabama; Mr, Herbert, of Alabama, and Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, opposed the ad- mission of any of the territories at this time, as all of them would go Republican if ad- mitted now, Mr. Cox, of New York, said the Democrats might as well anticipate the inevitable, and admit the territories which were clamoring at the door of congress for admisdon. If they were not admitted now they would be soon, and the Democratic party would gains no prestige from it. If admitted now they would reap whatever prestige there was to be derived from doing a just and righteous act. Speaker Carlisle spoke in the same strain. He favored admitting all of the ter. ritories named in the Bpringer or omnibus bill. This view seemed to be the view of the caucus, and the following resolution was adopted; Resolved, That in the judgment of this cancus provision shall be ruade by which Dakota may be admitted into the Union as one state or two states, as the people of the two proposed states may berealler determine: also, that the neces. sary legislation ought to be provided for the carly admission into the Union of the territories of Washiogton, Moptana and New Mexico: that those meastires should ali be embodisd in one bill, wither by the smendment of the pendiog bill or otherwise as to details, as the comunities on territories shall determing; aod that an order uf the hu onsideration of the measure should be made at an early day, aud the bili oon sidered in the house at the varliont day practicabie, A separate resolution was approved admit. ting the territory of Utah, use for the « A BAD ELEPHANT KILLED, Chief Strangled to Death with Ropes by Two of His Companions, Pritaverruia, Dec. 18 Adam Fore paugh’s big elephant, Chief, was scientific ally strangled by two elephantine execu. tioners, Bas] and Blemarck, after sentence of death bad been duly pronounced by Adam Forepaugh, Jr. Chisl's offense was unruli news and no marked disposition tor “ripping things up the back.” During the last show season Chisf on vari ous occasions beosune so vicious as a his keeper endless trouble It was not, how ever, until the big show resched the winter quarters on Oct. 8 that Chief became un manageable.
