as feeling confident, and Conkling's friends
declare he is also confident. The Republi-
can caucus committee has been in confer
ence with the President, and an executive
session il certain to be held next week.
Once in executive session the nomination
of Robertson, along with others, will be
reported TO the Commerce Committee.
This cannot be prevented. A majority Of
that committee agree with Conkling in OPP
posing Robertson, and hence it will be in
Conkling's power to report upon it or not.
The evidences all go to show that he will
report 1t this session. He wants to get an
opportunity to put on record his position
in the Robertson case. He has remained
silent as long as he cares to-. He regards
the present time as favorable to him. A
Senator, in talking over the case with . re-
porter last night, said Conkling could get
some help by not opposing Stanley
Matthews confirmation; that, in fact, the
friends of Matthews in the Senate had ex-
pressed a willingness to vote against Rob-
ertson if that would help Matthews. Some
Democrats who are DESTROYS Of rejecting
Chandler, and who care but little either
way about Robertson's case, are willing to

rejection. A combination can now be
made which would be impossible next
Winter. The chances are in favor Of Rob-
ertson's case being brought up at this ses-
sion. Immediately after Frye's speech,
eleven Democrats entered into an agree
meet to take the Conkling side as against
the Administration, but the subsequent
disclaimers by the President that Frye did
not represent the Administration, changed
several Of them. There are, however, four
or five Democratic Senators working in
d~ustriously among their colleagues against
Robertson, ON the ground that his rejec-
ton will divide the Republican party in
New York, and this has had, and is still
having, its effect.
DOrsey's Innocence.
WASHINGTON, April 20. Ex-senator
Dorsey has been active all day in endeavor-
ing to Offset the allegations connecting him
with the Star route ring to clear himself of
the charge. It was stated to a Western As
sociated Press reporter tonight, by author
ity direct from Dorsey, that the latter had
requested the Postmaster General to inves-
tigate immediately Dorsey's alleged COM
plicity; that the Postmaster General ad.
mitted that he could not find any evidence
to connect Dorsey with the Star route ring.
General James will tomorrow write q let
to the President stating that nothing has
been found against Dorsey. On the basis
Of this letter Dorsey win make his defense
to the public, denying that he ever had any
connection with the Star service ring.
Dorsey had q long talk with the Postmaster
General, and it is said that he insisted on
having an immediate statement; TIA. if
there was anything against him let it be
given out, and II nothing he wanted it SO
stated. There is bad blood between Brady
and Dorsey, personally. and those who still
maintain the charges against the Star route
ring say it will result In aiding In the pend
ing investigation to unearth and expose all
Of the rings doings. President Garfield is
firm In his determination to expose the
wrong regardless Of whom 1t might involve.

which runs between Grand Island and st.
Paul, upon returning to ST. Paul from this
place this morning. where he had been at
work for a couple Of days. went direct to
his house and found the door locked. He
looked in and raw one of his children in

her upon the floor near the bed. He got
the Sheriff. and they together went in and
found his three children in bed and his wife
on the floor, all with their throats cut with

The children were aged 4 and 2 years and

committed suicide. A Coroner's jury rem
dered . verdict in accordance with the above
facts. No reason was given for the rash
deed. and there Il no evidence of insanity.
She left only the two words, good By" to
explain the tragedy.
The Chinese Treaties.
NEW York, April S0.-Dispatches from
Washington say the prospect Of the Chi
nese treaties being considered loon by the
Senate, in executive session, gives rise to
considerable comment thereon. It il under
stood that Boston merchants will bring q
heavy influence to bear on the New Eng
land Senators. in opposition to the clause
Of the treaty prohibifing the opium trade
by vessels under the American Gag. Peo-
pie Of broader views recognize the ad-
vantages to be gained by the ratification
Of the treaties - proposed. The loss to .
few American opium merchants will be
comparatively insignifcant, besides the
prestige TO be gained from the accruing
afiliation with China. That Empire viii
never forget the opium war with England,
and the country which first enters into .
satisfactory treaty on this question will
reap untold benefits by other branches of
Go vernment Directors or the u. r.
Railroad.

The Omaha people resent these assertions,
and defend Frost Is . pure and honest
man, and assert that Kuntz has not lived
In Omaha for ten years. and seldom Wis
tied there.
