There was no cause for suspicion against any living
being so far as he knew lie thought that most
of the detectives who had examined the case
believed that if thieves had entered the house they
would not have left untouched the valuable silver
within their reach. There we're indications OF some
other motive than that of robbery but they were
too uncertain to furnish clew. Assistant District
Attorney Rollins. Fire Marshal Sheldon. and Others
were in consultation with the Superintendent during
the day.
Coroner Woltman SAID yesterday that he would
not call the jury together to finish the inquest in the
murder case until some further information had
been gained by the police, until all hopes of get
ting such information had been abandoned. Thus
far, he said nothing Of value in the case had come

Augustus w. Cornogg is a red-headed gentleman Oh
pleasing address aud appearance In the winter Oh
1877 he was in New Orleans and had for n room
mate Percy Baker, a member elect OF the PACKARD
Legislature. The pair were accustomed to spend
their evenings playing poker in their room, anu III
the course of events Baker became indebted IN INC
sum of about $50 to COrnOgg. When dunned iof
the money Baker promised payment as soon as
Kellogg was elected TO the Senate. On the day
after the election Baker pulled out and exhinlteu
roll of bills, which he said he had gotten "of the
Kellogg election" and paid Cornogg his cues
Witness did not know in what manner Baker nau
made his money "off the election" and nothing
was brought out to show that it was even sus-
pected as being the price received for his vote.
On cross-examnaton Cornogg was fonnd
to have been discharged from the New
Orleans Custom House for cause some time
ago, and that he had formed the lnteh-
ton of going to Philadelphia The witness
swore that he had bought his ticket for Phiiadel
pha before he ran across Spoffords agents and haa
sold after that event, having been furnished WIN
transportation to Washington in order to testify 10
the story of his dealings with Baker.
j. Johnson one of the colored witnesses ex-
amned last week, was put the stand and testlhed
with many details that Cornogg had hunted MN
up and had sought him to make an affidavit chars-
ing Kellogg with bribery knowing that such
charge would be false.
f. A. Clover, now an officer in the Ncw-Orleans
Custom House, but in 1877 minute clerk OF the

knowledge to the presence of quorum on the day
of the Senatorial election. On cross-eXamlnatloh

WILL DO.
lBY TELEGRAM To TIE TRiEUSR.I
WASHINGTON. June 13.-A caucus of Republican
Senators was held this morning to give oppOr-
tuuity for cOmD>risOa OF views upon The Army and
the Judicial Appropriation bills The caucus took
a rcces, at u o'clock, and met again after tho adj
jouumcnt OF the Senate
Some crit cism INDUCED IN upon the course OF
the Republicans in the House upon the Army bill.
The opinion was expressed that the action was
premature and that a record should at least have
been male against the measure.
Tn, caucus was remarkably harmonious and 1t
was found that {. considerable majority Of the Re
publican Senators had arrived by independent
consideration at very nearly the same con-
illusions regarding the bills. The Judicial bill
occupied very little time distinctive question,
II beng held By every Republican that the measure
in its present form contains all the mischievous
features Of the original measure Upon the Army
bill there a more general expression OF opinion,
resulting in practical unanimity in a brief Opposi-
tiou 10 the bill to expose its defects aud also to test
the opinion Of the Democrats to what they expect
10 accomplish by the political features of the bill.
Ii was held that the sixth section contains am
biguites susceptible of being interpreted to suit
future Democratic necessities. Ii was determined
10 propose amendments TO this section which
should place the Democrats on record as to their
intentions in framing the measure, and COM
mittee was appointed TO frame the amendments.
The chief ground Of opposition to the Army bill
was based upon the fact that it will form prece-
dent for further encroschinent upon the cOnsttu-
tional prerogativos of the President as commander
in-chief The opinion was expressed and generally
eoucurred in that the President would sign the bil
but with this probability in view twas held by many
Senators that the bill SHOULD be opposed, 81 That II

might not be said when similar devices resorted
to- " You accepted such action once without opposi-
ton" Two or three Senators questioned whether
the proposed opposition to the Army bill would not
be distorted so as to appear as a demand that the
Army be used at the polls police force but the
objections were not pushed with vigor.
nestness were made by Senators Conklng, Hoar-
and Blaine, and the views of almost all the other
members were indicated by brief remarks of an in
formal character.
No action was had or proposed which was to be
binding upon Senators. The belief is universal that
the President will veto the Judicial bill, the out
come of which will very probably be another extra
session a considerable extension OF the present
session.

The funeral of Mrs. Hull took place yester-

pillow of flowers. There was no diminution Of
public interest in the murder, crowds of
curious persons remaining in front of the
house during a large part of the day. The
efforts of the police to discover the murderers
were as truitless as on previous days, and the
tragedy was looked upon as a mystery not
likely to be solved soon. A room in the Hull
residence which had not been examined
carefully was searched without important re-
suits.

SPR4aGUE-CDNKLINu.

The papers just now are burlenel
with accounts of the domestic difficult
ties of Gov. Sprague, of Il. l.. and Sen
ator Conkling is. involved in the scan
dial. Up to date we haveEnot read Of a
single fact upon which to base con-
clusion that there has been anything
criminal iii the relations of Mrs.
Sprague and Conkling. The affair has
been magnifed into cruel scandal and
all the domestic life of the Governor
and lis ambitious .wifo is laid before
the public.
It is doubtless so that Kate Chase mar
riel Sprague- for his wealth and that
when he became financially embarrass-
ed his ambitious wife was displeased
and gave him trouble. He took to
drink and is morbidly sensitive. Hence
there is trouble.
But Gov. Sprague is showing a de-
termination to rule in his own house
and not to be interferred with by out
siders. We do not blame him much for
entering his protest against being ig-
nored in his own house and having it
occupied by visitors invited by his wife
while he has to foot the bills. These
money marriages are apt to raise the
devil when the money runs short, and
we are glad to see that Gov. Sprague is
abundantly able to take care of himself
in this domestic emergency.

ton to note things we saw, and in all
this travel we have not seen any place
or country which surpasses Southern
Minnesota. It is the garden Of the

State. Some locations may possess
some special advantages, but as 4 whole
Southern Minnesota takes the lead for

that this is the garden of the State is

The EDITORIAL EXCURSION,

THE EDITORIAL EXCURSION.
Tie editors who made the recent ex-
eursion to Duluth have given glowing
accounts Of the trip. 1t is we'll. They
had good time and saw a great deal.
They had the fun and St. Paul got the
glory and the honor and the so forth.
The resolutions show this. We don't
object.
Only we leg leave to suggest that at
the next editorial excursion the coun-
try editors have 4 hearing, Let us
have at least one meeting in which the
provincial press shall have something
to say while on the trip. Let them
have 4 chance to get acquainted. n
little better organization with some
place for general meeting and for in
Productions, rs we'll as for talking up
their own interests, would add very
much to the interest and profit of such
excursions. We have been on two ;of
these trips recently and did not become
acquainted with more than One-f fourth
of the editors on either excursion.
