REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
II Adjourns without Reaching Point
Of Action.
speech by Senator Conkling.

WAsHIxGroS. May 8. The republican
senators held a caucus this afternoon for the
purpose OF determining what course to be
pursued in regard to the class of executive
business left temporarily unproyided tor
IN the programme adopted last week. The
meeting although prolonged 10 late hour,
adjourned without reaching the point of ac-
ton on the subject under consideration.
Senator Conkling made speech which &C.
cupied nearly TWO hours. 1t was de-
voted to the history of the nomination
Of Judge Robertson for the New York
collector-hip and to a comprehensive state
ment of reasons why his nomination was
particularly Objectionable and offensive to
him. In the course of his remarks he en-
tered extensively into the subject OF New
York State politics and Judge Robertson's
connection with them, particularly at the
Chicago convention, and also gave detailed
recital Of his conference and understandings
with the President in regard to the New
York nominations at various times anticedent
to the nomination Of Robertson from all which
circumstances he argued that he andthe party
whom he and his colleague represented in
New York had been dealt with in bad faith
and treated most injuriously. 1t is also re-
ported that Conkling, in narrating what &C.
Cured at Chicago, informed the caucus
that Judge Robinson, among other exhibit
tons of personal hostility then made by
him, went so far as to declare he would not
support Gen. Arthur if nominated for Vice
President. At the close of Senator COnk-
iiny's speech the caucus adjourned till to-
morrow.

The reason why cabbage emits such a
disagreeahle smell when boiling is be-
cause the process dissoNes the essential
oil. The water should be changed when
the cabbage is half boiled, and it will
thus acquire greater sweetness.
A thin coat of varnish applied to straw
mating will make it much more dura-

used on white mating. Use skim milk
for washing oil cloths, instead Of soap
