WASHINGTON.
The Political Situation.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Ihe Sen.
ate Judiciary Committee held another
meeting this morning, and the nomi-
nation of Stanley Matthews was taken
up and discussed. Several members
of the committee spoke in behalf of
Matthews, but no vote was taken. At
the next meeting of the committee re-
port against Matthews will probably
be adopted, but his friends say he can
be confirmed over an adverse report.
Indications are that Matthews will be
confirmed, as nearly all the democratic
senators will vote for him. Conkling
and the stalwarts are fighting the eau.
Gus. But fourteen senators have sign
ed the call. and it will be held in a few
days.
The president urges action on the
nominations, and his friends among
the senators are active in forcing this
policy he advises. The republican
senator who has written a cali for the
caucus told the western associated
press reporter to-day, that the caucus
could not be postponed many days
longer. 1t is now SAID that Platt is
not sticking to Conkling, but favors
Robertson's confirmation. Conkling
is in earnest in making the fight, ,and is
getting all he votes he can:

farmers have told US that they never
