A Washington correspondent says the
Conkling .Sprague affair is likely to create
q sensation in Washington society such as
has not been heard of in many years. 1t
is intimated that some of the most promi-
nent bloods of society will be implicated
in the scandal which the coming divorce
suit of Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague will
develop, and those who affect to be posted
say that Conkling breads the expose more
than any one else. Efforts have been
made to hush up the matter, but this
cannot be done, and now the people are tc
be treated to a morsel of society scandal
which is certain to cause more than one
domestic broil. In the meantime the
gossips are on tip toe awaiting the COM
