WASHINGTON, April 22.-The Republican
Senators will doubtless meet in caucus on
Tuesday. The purpose of the meeting is to
bring about the holding of one or more ex-
ecutive sessions at an early date i'm order to
dispose of some portion of the accumulated
business, but with the understanding that
the contest over the proposed election of OIL
GERS will be then renew ed. @"' 'f d."
WASHINGTON, April 22.-The President
has taken firm stand in favor of executive
sessions and the Confirmation of nominal
lions. He has since yesterday sent for and
spoken with eleven Senators, urging all to
relieve the administration of embarrassment
by confirming the nominations. The Repub-
lican Senators will hold caucus about next
Tuesday to determine the line of action in
regard to the combinations. Among those
who have been pressing an executive session
Sherman, Hawiey, Hale and other pro-
nounced friends of the administration. Now
that executive SESSIONS are to be held Rob-
ertsoii's case comes to the front again. Sem
ator Hale has talked with number of Dem
ocratic Senators and assured them that Frye
In his speech did not represent the admins
tration. Hale stated that Frye an'agonized
Blaine and that the administration had MOTH
ing to do with the Inspiration of Fryes
speech. The President said as much to a
Democratic Senator to-day, aud said he de-
plored a reopening of the sectional question.
and that he stands upon his inaugural upon
that question. a#s& w. TITO 81 =
A Senator who Is member Of the COM
merce committee, says that Conkling will
not try to postpone the fight on Robertson.
Conkiing feels that he Is stronger now than
ever, and when executive sessions are held
be will, instead Of smothering Robertson's
nomination In committee, report il adversely
and attempt TO hare 1t rejected. t.t'.5
The friends Of Stanley Matthews say his
case will be one Of the first acted upon, and
that he will be confirmed, Is 20 Democrats
and Is Republicans have promised to vote
for him. Conkling will not now make any
fight on Matthews, Is he does not care to In.
volve himself In any antagonism. All indi-
cations point TO Matthew'S confirmation. . j

SURE ENOUGH COLD.

With many of the settlers of the
northwest tho past winter has been
u prolonged struggle for existence
against the elements. ia German!
farmer two years age took up 100
acres of land nea Big Lake, Dakota.
Last year he raised wheat Oh 60 acres,
getting Is bushels to the acre, and re-
ceived $1,000 for it. Laying in what
he considered an ample supply Of.
fuel out of these proceeds, he set his
house in order for the winter. Two
ether families decided to- leave their
own houses, andEto lodge with him
az a measure of mutual protection
aud comfort. Very soo the ample
supply of fuel was all consumed, and
the three families had TO bestir them
selves to keep from freezing. They
dug railroad ties and telegraph posts
out OF the deep snow and burned
them. After this source of supply
had been exhausted, the two families
that had quilted their own houses
were compelled to take part in tear
ing them down ; and the woodw ork
went the way Of the other fuel. Next
followed the furniture. A neighbor
named Becker finally harnessed five
strong horses to a sleigh to force his
way to the nearest railway station for
q load of coal. He was caught in q
snowdrift, and two days later was
found frozen stiff In his sleigh, his
dog. dead, lying upon him, and the
five horse. standing dead ~ their
tracks. His body was taken TO hit
family, nailed up In q box, and placed
in the grain loft, to be kept there unit
the ground should thaw sufficiently
and allow Of his burial. Another
family Of the neighberhood wa
saved from starvation by maxim:

avoid all this trouble is to move t.

Especial to the St.. Louis Republican,
EVENT OF THE DAY IN THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE event
OF tho day in. The senate was the speech
OF Senator Vest. II was the best speech
Mr.. VsSt has ever made in Warrington.
and it was 70 of the most convincing
argnments In support of the democratic
position, uttered since the controversy
began. ."N Marked attention was paid to
him both by, the republican as we'll ~
democratic senator's. On one or two
occasions the galleries everstepped the
rule which iorbids applause. and Mr..
speaker was 'mercilessly aggressive.
Senator Sherman in particular he
marked, criticising the speech he made
last week without stint. At the outset
Of his remarks Vest said the republicans
had avowed an intention to use the pa
tronaga ofsthea federal government and
Of tho senate to overthrow The demo
cratic party in Virginia. lie denounced
the bargain as i an outrage on
the democratic party which, rather
than submit to the democrats would re.
main In session until December. He
denied Sherman's statement that the
minority had no rights except those of
debate,l and referring to Sherman's
remark that the voice OF the majority
was as the voice of God. said that it
made all the difference in the world
upon that side OF the chamber what
voice was heard. To show the sincerity
with which Sherman defended the al.
lance with Malone, Mr.. Vest caused
to be read a correspondence inspired
by the former when he was secretary
OF the treasury in October. between
internal revenue commissioner Raum
and D.. Il. Van Anken, tobacco in.
spector at Petersburg. which led to the
dismissal Of the latter because he chose
to act with the readjuster party. Now
Sherman was encouraging an alliance
