The Kellogg-sponard Case.

IChfcag0 Times.l
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Senator Kellogg is
getting very nervous, as 1t is now pretty
clearly settled that he is to be unseated with
out much vexatious delay. This fact Is made
apparent by the assertions made in advance
by the Democrats that Kellogg Is to be un-
seated. The Republicans do not intend to
make anything like personal fight to retain
him, as Kelloggs tricky tactics have dis
gusted them. To-day Kellogg approached q
leading Republican Senator and complained
that the Democrats would certainly expel him
Ii something was not done. Kellogg was as
tonished at the rebuff he received. Said the
Senator whom he had addressed:
kellogg, you must not expect any sympa-
thy from us il they do"
"Why not"
"You deserted us in the Corbin case"
But" said Kellogg, Il did not know the
case was coming up, and was unavoidably
detained from the Senate"
"That won't do" was the answer. "You had
due notice of the 'Corbin case coming up, but
you stayed away on purpose and persuaded
Bruce to do the same thing upon the ground
that Ii Butler were not annoyed you would
not be-"
Kellogg made a long face at this, but did not
dare to deny his attempt to trade and save his
own scalp, with what result the Bourbon vote
will soon show.
