The Situation To-day.

NO PROSPECT OF A COMPRoMIsE-THR ISSUE TO
BE FOUGHT OUT sQUARELY.
1t can be stated with posit1veness that up to
late hour this afternoon the President has no
idea Of withdrawing the name of Judge Rob-
ertson. He takes the ground that the Senate
has the nomination before 1t, and it is the duty
OF that body to either confirm or reject IL.
This being the Presidents final decision the
probability Is that caucus OF republican Sen
ators will be speedily held to decide upon the
course to be followed.
1t has been said that the failure of the judici-
ary committee to act upon the nomination Of
VIM. E. Chandler for the solicitor generalship,
was because OF statement made In Tuesdays
caucus that there was probability that the
President would consent to Chandler and Rob-
ertson exchanging places. 1t Is now known,
however, that no such adjustment can be ad.
1t Is therefore probable that while action may
lot be taken on Chandler's nomination until
after another republican caucus, that soon
after that he will be reported adversely by the
judiciary committee, and 1t is highly probable
he Will be rejected.

would destroy their ail-rail connection with the

aooS: % lt would seem that the Robinson pol
