Bmrift hv thfi action nf tlia rnnnna !f tlmru is no modification of the requirements of the call. At the very earliest, there can be no vote for senator for 12 days from the time of the caucuses, and the oppo sition to Senator Mitchell expresses its entire confidence that he will not be able to bold his support until that time, 46 members, caucus or uo caucus. The 'fact is to bs considered that all republicans who go with tomorrow night's cacus are not necessarily Mitchell men, and it does not follow that all will accept its result without question. If they do not, Mitchell is gone. He has absolutely alienated Bourne republicans, and all of his other contingent sources of support (democrats and populists) by his attitude in the speakership fight, to say nothing of his ambiguous position on the money question. They will not come back. It is known further that not less than three and probably more of his supporters have served notice on Senator Mitchell that they would a bandon him the moment he received either a democratic or a populist vote. This, by the way, may :n part account for Mitchell's recent repeated assurances to gold-standard republicans onlv that be stands on the republican platform and will oppose tree silver. Altogether, it is not too much to say that Mitchell's fight is in a critical condition, and that any one of the half dozen complications that may arise between this time and , January will defeat him. Sol Hirsch arrived here at 11 o'clock tonight. To Preserve the old Frigate ConHtHu tlon. Washington, Jan. 13. The proposition to preserve the old frigate Constitution has received a fresh start in congress, and it is possible that an appropriation will be made to put the vessel in condi tion and bring her to Washington to be preserved as a naval relic. Charles Francis Adams and other citizens of Boston have just appealed to the senate to make some provision to eave the frig ate. Secretary Herbert has repeatedly u'ged congress to to save this historic ship. "Of the old Revolutionary navy," he said, "we still have two precious relics, the Constitution and Hartford. The Constitution, so glorious in the war of 1812, lies rotting at the Portsmouth nary-yard. In my annual reports I have recommended that a sufficient sum of money be appropriated to repair and insure her preservation, but my appeal has been unheeded. I believe that this generation of Americans should do its duty and repair and band down the old Constitution, with masts and spars still standing, and enBign still flying, to the generation that is to come.

The house was called to order nt 10 o'clock by Speaker Davis, and skirmishing immediately be gan. The speaker directed the clerk to call the roll, but Somers demanded n call of the house, which is practically the same thibg. U'Ren wanted the floor to make an explanation about the committee on credentials, and Bilyeu iusisted on a point of order that the proceedings were out of order. The speaker- finally di rected the clerk to proceed to call the roll. The roll call showed twenty-nine present. Bridges wanted yesterday's journal read, but the motion was de clared out of order, there being no quorum. At 11:20, after an hour of idleness, U'Ren filed a report of the majority of the committee on credentials. Thomas called for its reading, and Bilyou asked for a call of the house. Thirty-two were present, which was declared no quorum. Some confusion and hot talk followed. Somers served a notice on the opposition that the people of the state would not much longer stand the delay. "We won't have it," he shouted. "What do you mean?" cried U'Ren. "Do you propose to capture this house by force. Are you revolutionists?" (hisses and cheers.) "I'll tell you what we mean," replied Somers. "We were sent here to do business, and we proprose to do it." Smith, Riddle, U'Ren and others then engaged in a wordy controversy. Quiet waB soon restored. The house adjourned at noon till 2 p. m., after a roll call, which showed only thirty-four members present. IN THE SENATE. Salem, Jan. 13. The senate opened with prayer by Rev.
