TIE KELLOGG CASE AND THE DEMOCRATIC
SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
Yesterday Senator Ben. Hill, of Georgia,
gave notice that to-day he would call up
the Kellogg case, and four or FIVE senators
called on Senator Wallace and requested
him 10 call caucus in regard to it. This
wss done, and ciucnS held this morning.
Senator Hill thought that this was not pro-
per treatment. and stated that some OF thos Q
requesting a call OF caucus were in favor
OF letting the Kellogg case go over until
next session. A discussion OF the matter
followed, but II O'Clock came without any
conclusion being reached. The report was
that Senators Thurman, Bayard. Garland,
Lamar, Gordon, Ransom, and MaXey are
among those who are not for present action.
The senatorial caucus held meeting this
evening, and, after quite a discussion, adj
iOurned over until tomorrow without do
ing anything. From all ! gather it seems
clear that Mr.. Kellogg will retain his seat
10 the Senate.
