Especial Telegram to the Globe.


PROVIDENCE, r. l., Aug. l3.-Mr. Dauielson
warm friend of Conkling, says that when il
was feared an exaggerated story might be sent
on concerning the imbroglio, it was suggested
that dispatch be furnished by Conkling to
the Associated Press. Conkling was guest of
Senator Anthony and the two Senators and Mr..
Danielson prepared and approved dispatch to
be sent out as a correct version of the affair.
Mr.. Danielson and Conkling positively denied
any alteration between himself and Sprague,
and upon the strength of this denial he sent
the dispatch. Mrs. Sprague is in this city.
She will make no statements unless Conkling
or Sprague publish theirs. There are 'rumors
that Mr.. Sprague had been in town and insti-
tuted proceedings for separation, but the
rumors appear unfOunded. No service of
papers has been made.
SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT OF sPRAaUE's HOME
1t is regarded as significant that the Press,
MIR. Sprague's organ, and mostly owned by
the Sprague estate, has published an account
corroborating the story that Conkling was
driven away from sprague's house, one line of
the heading declaring there was no German
professor in the matter. To- day the same
paper publishes the following editorial para

lucky that German music teacher could be
put forward a. a convenient pretext. If it was
all about this verbose German, why did
the Sprague family go into a
neighboripg hotel. As it is a family
matter and as we wish we'll TO all interested
parties, it is to be hoped the scandal will be
permitted to rest and that the domestic peace
of ex-senator Sprague will be no further dis
turbed. The load which he has to carry is
enough for any ordinary mortal. It really does
not appear what business Mr.. Coakling had
at Sprague's mansion and the ex-senator can
not be blamed for wishing to be lord and
master of his own house,
STILL SILENT.
Mr.. Sprague still persists in maintaining
silence. Gov. Sprague, conversing with Mr..
Watson, of Wakefield, a friend, said he OBJ
jected to the German because he was too poor
to pay for such service, and such extravagances
greatly hampered him in his financial difficult
ties. Watson said he asked him about the con-
uection Senator Conkling had with the matter
and that the Governor replied: He has tried
to do here in my home what he did
in Washington and when pressed for
further explanation, simply said. Have you
not read the Washington papers?' This is all
the public statement he desires to make and
he does not even want this to appear in the
form of statement directly from him. There
is not the slightest doubt in the minds of in
huential and respected residents at the Pier
and in this city but Spragae drove Conkling
from the house with threats of shooting or
that the former followed Conkling to a saloon
and engaged in a violent dialogue with him.

has made such a stir as the elimination of
the Conkling-Sprague scandal. 1t has been
the subject upon everybody's lips to-day.
From the highest to the lowest in Washing
ton this scandal has been the one prevailing
topic of discussion. There was one New
York paper only that had the correct &C.
count of the affair. One of the local papers
here also had the correct story, and not the
idiotic burlesque wherein Mr.. Sprague was
represented as foa ming at the mouth at q
poor German music teacher that he disliked.
Another absurd bulletin represented how
Senator Conkling and Sprague had had a
bitter fight

From the first there was never anything but
one opinion here as to what was the real
cause of the trouble. The only wonder was
that an outbreak had never come before.
wholly to the gigantic effrontery of Senator
Conkling. Friends of Sprague here say that
the latter understood In general way how
his wife was infatuated with Mr.. Conkling,
and had, to save scandal, practically agreed
to a separation, but when Mr.. Conkling came
openly, bag and baggage, without any invi-
tation, to his house, then even the mild
Spragus revolted and refused to any longer
play the part of what the French call
"a COMPLAINANT HUSBAND
member of the cabinet, in speaking of this
affair this evening, said: "Conkling is ruined
socially and politically by this blow. 1t has
come IN such way that there is no defense
to be made. The Sprague household is
broken up, and he is the cause. No man or
set of men are strong enough to make even a
pretense of defending his action.''
ANOTHER PUBLIC OFFICIAL,
in talking about the case, said that there have
been few man in high position who have not
had some personal intimate friends. Mr..
Conkling has for years had no intimate friend
among his associates-not one man who has
had strong enough feeling for him to come
forward and lock arms with him in his hour
of disgrace and trial. He continued: "In
times past his influence has been through his
immense strength and zeal and intellectual
ability, but from now on his political influ-
ence is gone as absolutely as if he were al
ready in his grave" ........

A Senator in the city gives an interesting

had signi6ed her intense anxiety to 60
home, and, as Mr.. Conkling was needed for
her escort, he made strong effort to secure
an adjournment. Failing in this, his irasci

disappointment. Everybody in Washington

PROVIDENCE, Aug. 11.-Professor Linck,
the German professor whose name has been
connected with the affair, is looked upon as

professor to-day publishes a long statement.
Linck begins by relating the manner in
which he was introduced to Mrs. Governor
Sprague in December, 1873, through Miss
Young's school agency at New York, with a
view to an engagement as private tutor to
her son Willie, then at Washington. He
was engaged at salary of $50 month for
the first three months, beginning with the
LIST of July. Then follows very lengthy
and uninteresting account of his trip from
New York for Narragansett Pier with Willie,
and his first meeting with Governor
Sprague, whose appearance altogether did
not impress him favorably. Subsequently
Sprague took Willie to Newport without
consulting his tutor on leaving, which
