News by Telegraph FROM ALL QUARTERS. THE CAUCUS COMMITTEE. Its Proceedings Kept Among
 the Members. WORKING QUIETLY AND CAUTIOUSLY. A Fight on Nominations to be
 Avoided. A Conference With the President. Possible Withdrawal of all His
 Nominations.
A Conference With the President.
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

A Close Corporation-The Caucus Conn
 mittee Keeping It's Own Secrets A
 Conference To Be Held With the Presi-
 dent-A Possible Withdrawal of His
 Nominatfons-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, April 29.-The closest cor poration in Washington just now is the Re- publican Senate caucus committee of seven. No correct list of members of the commit tee has been published. Senator Dawes is chairman and. Senators Rollins, Ingalls, and Hill, of Colorado, are known to be members Senators Sherman and Hawley do not deny that they are of the committee and circum- stances point toward the belief that they are Senator Dawes called upon the President to- day, as is sald with new view of securing a conference between the committee and the Executive This conference is likely to take place tomorrow, perhaps not until Monday. It is the general belief that the result will be an executive session of the Senate next week, probably on Tuesday, if for no other pur- pose than for the consideration of the Chi nese treaties. The concession is made that nom nations will no doubt come up. Stanley Matthews is conceded, and if the test seems likely to be too risky the President may ad- wise delay on Robertson's and Chandler's un- til December next. In default of settle ment on some plan similar to the above it is stated on authority that the President will at once withdraw all nominations
 The Attorney General has rendered deci- sion to the effect that the Louisiana lottery is a legal institution, though it is sub iect to investigation by the Postofice depart ment in respect to fraudulency in its work ings. If the same premises for complaint exist as under the act that permitted the for m& investigation the department is justified in withholding the company's mail matter No order to this effect has been issued, but it is soon expected
 The prospect of the Chinese treaties being considered soon by the Senate in exec1tive session gives rise to considerable comment thereon. It is understood that the Boston merchants will bring heavy influence to bear on the New England Senators in opposition to the clause of the treaty prohibiting the opium trade by vessels under the American flag. People of broader views recognize the advantage to be gained by the consumma- tion of the treaty as proposed. The loss to few American opium merchants will be con- paratively insignificant beside the prestige to be gained by the accruing afiliation with Chi na. That empire will never forget the opi- um war with England and the country who first consummates satisfactory treaty on this question will reap untold benefits in oth CT branches of commerce.

Victims of the Ferryboat Disaster.
 ELG1N, April 29.- Search for the bodies of the victims of yesterdays catastrophe has proven fruitless. Supervisor James Carlisle offers large reward for the recovery of the body of his boy. Six persons are now pos itively known to be lost. They are Thomas Murphy, Guy Carlisle, Elmer Foster, John Corbin, George Taylor, and Francis Chreigh- ton. It also seems probable that a stranger named Emerson Huntley, from Burlington, was lost. He left his shopping place early in the morning to go across the river and has not been seen since. John Throop, William Burton and two commercial travellers, thought lost, have been found to be safe. Persons watching the catastrophe saw seven persons drown after a heap of struggling humanity had been scattered by the current. Un- doubtedly some never rose. It is now thought the number lost will not be above eight.

Snakes Used to Conceal Body snatching.
 DONOVAN. April 29.-A grave robbery has just been discovered in the cemetery here and has produced intense excitement Emanuel Seigel, an old and respected farmer, died suddenly three years ago under such suspi- cious circumstances as caused doubts concern ing the alleged cause of his death, and gossip continued to grow of such a nature that yesterday it was resolved to exhume the body and have an examination. When the coffin was reached the body was found absent and its place occupied by sixteen large bull snakes, torpid. Investigation showed every indica- tion that the body had been removed soon after it's burial and before decay begun. This discovery intensiies the suspicion, and it is now believed that the remains were re- moved by persons who feared to have the remains examined at the time of burial.
