WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE report of the
personal difficulty between Senator COnklng
and eX-Gov. Splague. OF Rhode Island, at
Naragansett Piee last Friday, gives rise to
much comment here, but is received with
little surprise. Intimate relations existing
been an open scandal in Washington society
for more than two years, although the press
has for most part refrained from making them
subject Of remark. 1t is even known to a few
that Gov. Spragtle more than Il year ago in
structed a prominent lawyer in this city to
commence proceedings against Mrs. Sprasue
for divorce, but was dissuaded from this
step. and induced to seek Il reconciliation.
Since that time, us before, Senator Conkling

Spragns country residence ut Edgewood,
near this city, and his marked attentions
whenever they meet in public, his abrupt
departure from evening parties when she Was
absent, and their open exchange of notes
while she was in the gallery and lie on the
floor OF the Senate, have given rise to much
gossip. The reports from Narragansett Pier
as to the nature and cause Of last Fridays
difficulty are very conflicting, but the general
impression here seems to be that it was
toward Senator Conkling ant. not toward
music teacher Linde that Sprague's an,mosity
was manifested, and that Mrs. Sprague could
explain the reason for it. Senator Conkling's
friends here admit that he has been foolish
aud imprudent. bnt deny that his friendship
for Mrs. Spraguc has ever been anything more
than the expression Of q strong intellectual
sympathy. The stories which are and have
long hccn current here with regard to their
intimacy. his friends declare to be malicious
gossipping.
