WASHINGTON, May S.-A reporter OF

the White House, tonight, and obtained
A true version OF the Presidents letter to
Senator Dawes. The President did not
retain copy but the note was short IN
the first place. The President wrote he
was in favor of fres ballot and fair
count, not only in Virginia but in every
State and would encourage it, but he
would not aid in elevating man who,
as editor Of a daily newspaper, is con.
stantly attacking and defaming him
and his administration. This refer
red 10 Gorham, editor OF the the Ma.
"A nal Rspublican, and nominee of
the Repub leans for Secretary OF the
Senate. The above is substantially all
the letter to Dawes contained in It. The
President said nothing about the pend
ing nominations in the Senate. On this
subject, however, the President MAIN
tains the same position he took before
the caucus committee. He says he sent
all the nominations to the Senate IN
GOOD faith, and that il the Senate sees
d Vass some OF the nominations over,
tnat "a the business of the Senate, but
he cannot countenance any movement
or suggestion for selecting certain nom-
nations for consideration and leaving
others Enacted on. As to what the SEN
ate shall do he has nothing to say or

THE FAMILY FUSS.

The Radical Caucus Proves to be Fizzle
Robertson and Chsndler's Nomins-
tions In Doubt.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Republi-
can caucus this morning was attended
by all the prominent Senator'S OF that
side and spent the time until noon dis
cussing what shall constitute an uncon-
tested nomination. All the Republicans
desire to have this point definitely set
tied that no difference may arise after
going into executive session. The Sen
at)rs who are denominated as support
ing the administration in its desire to
have all the nominations acted on main
tanned that the adverse report
of a committee on a nomination should
make il a contested nomination. Mr..
Conkling and his friends argued in favor
of CHASING all nominations objected to
by one Senator from the State 10 which
the nomination belongs, as contested.
This was a point of discussion, and 1T
was not determined. Another caucus
will be held this afternoon to follow up
the question. Conkling was consplcu-
ously peasant to-day, and many regard
ed il as an evidence OF his satisfaction
with the situation, as there is no doubt
OF an early executive session. Demo.
cratic Senators have been to day discuss
ing informally among themselves as TO
how they had better vote. Some OF the
Democrats are working very hard for
Conklirg. and they claim as the matter
stands, fifteen Democrats are sure to
vote against Robertson, and on the
other hand there is a report that some
of the Republican Senators are dropping
away from Conkling because they think
he ought not to push their fight to the
disadvantage OF the Republican party.
The leading Republican Senators state
that the executive session certainly Will
be held this week.
Last week Southern Democratic
Senator, when gong away, asked a
s,alwart Republican Senator to pair
with him on the nomination OF Chand-
Ter for Solicitor General, the Democrat
wanting to vote against Chandler. The
Republican Senator, who is a prominent
Grant man, said he could not pair oil
because he intends to vote against
Chandler. 1t is supposed to mean that
the Grant Republicans are against
Chandler, and, as all Demcc ats oppose
him that would assuredly defeat him.

nominations will be acted upon. Only
such nominations as are not re-
ported from the committees will be
be left unacted on. Conkling and
friends claim fifteen Democrats to vote
against Robertson, but indications are
that this is overestimated. Democrats
generally, are determined to support the
President, and this feeling with few ex-
ceptions is too strong to be overcome.
Ouly five Democrats can be named as
supporters OF Conkling in this fight.
Inquiries by the reporter OF the Western

indicate that the supporters OF the
President on both sides OF the chamber
will cooperate to bring up Robertson 8

CINCINNATI, May 3.-Intelligence to-
day reaches this city OF the suicide by
burning OF John Hahn, at Spades, Ind,
an obscure station on the Cincinnati,
Indianapolis, st. Louis d Chicago rail-
road, about forty miles irem Cincinnati.
Hahn had been separated from his
wife about a year, owing to his intem'
perance, and had yainly sought recon-
ciliation. He had received peremp'
tory refusal to any overtures Saturday
morning, when he attempted to end his
misery by getting in the way OF a pass
ing railway train. An observing engl'
neer thwarted Hahn's plans by partl-
ally stopping his train and driving him
from the track.
During the afternoon OF that day
Hahn several times stirred up and re.
plenished a large brush fire burning
near the place he had made his home,
and had said to a neighbor that IN that
fire he proposed to make his bed. About
8 o'clock in the evening some children
PLAYING near the fire, observed Hahn
approach the spot, turn his fare from
the blaze, back in, and then run again.
Walking around the fire once or twice,
they saw him again approach it, rush in
and fall PROSTATE in its midst. They
quickly gave the alarm, and several men
ran to the rescue, only in time, how
ever, to draw from the flames Hahn's
charred remains, burned beyond recog-
milton. The deceased was 50 years old,
and a German.

munication has just been resumed after
being broken eleven days. The direct
line was completely destroyed for sixty
miles and will not be replaced for a
month. The floods are all subsiding
and the Missouri is still falling fast. The
Jim is running down the water of the
flooded bottoms, except in low places,
where it will remain till evap-
GRATED. The flood sufferers are
still being fed by the relief
committees. The government stopped
issuing rations yesterday, the under
standing being that private contractors
from outside would relieve the War De-
partment Of this expense. The steamer
Peck brought a supply OF army cloth
ing and tents yesterday. Clothing is
badly needed but the tents will not be
used, as the drowned out refugees have
all been housed until they can build
houses. A large portion OF them are
left penniless, but are going to work
again en- their devastated farms, hoping
for assistance and determined
to make the best OF their misfortune.
The people are yet so much scattered
that no definite idea AZ to the extent OF
the losses can be reached. The relief
committee has not yet endeavored to
procure details, being satisfied that the
suffering in the aggregate warrants their
strongest efforts. About 5000 has al.
ready been received by telegraph. The
design is to give the destitute a horse
and COW apiece il possible, and
enough household goods for a start.
There is much demand for cloth.
ing for women and children.
Many were taken out OF the water only
partially clad, and all OF their surplus
clothing was lost. The Green Island
mail bags were found ye,terday buried
in the mud and the contents we're recov.
cred but in bad condition. The regis.
tered packages were all right, but one
which contained eleven hundred dol
lars. From the Jim river flood but lit.
tie has been heard excepting that the
bridges are all out, mills washed away
or disabled and many houses swept
away. The inhabitants are out OF flour
and some Of them are liable to 60

capture. He was tried at the District
Court at Lamesilla and convicted OF
triple murder, and sentenced by Judge
Bristol to be hanged at Lincoln on the

The Water Continues to ise-Considera-

The Water Continues to Rise-Considera-
BILE Inconvenience Experienced.
Sr. LOUIS, May 3.-The rise in the
river since last night is varicusly esti-
mated at from 4 TO inches and is still
swelling. OF course there is a little more
water in the overilowed districts and
the breadth OF the inundated lands is
somewha extended, but the situation
is practically unchanged. All the dykes
and barriers still hold, and there has
been no additional destruction OF prop
er;y. The city levee is narrower
than Yesterday anu business
there is much hampered. A few
more industrial establishments in
the northern, part OF the city have
shut down, and the submerged region
in the southern part OF the city is a little
broader and the damage is wide spread,
but nothing has been swept away and
no lives lost.
Carondalet is entirely submerged to.
day, and about two hundred persons
have left the place. There are probably
about dozen houses still occupied, but
their inmates will have to leave.
In East St. Louis the situation is about
the same as previously reported. The
railroad tracks are still above water, and
the freight and passenger traffic is not
materially interferred with.
The most notable feature OF the flood
TO day was the breaking, about O'Clock
this afternoon, Of the old levee running
north, a short distance west OF the new
embankment OF the Chicago, burlington
and Quincy railroad in East st. Louis.
This levee had been raised and strength.
ened by the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy road TO shield their
new embankment, which was
comparatively soft, and it was thought
to be capable to stand the pressure OF
the great body OF water lying against
but it proved otherwise and gave
way. This left but one
barrier between the river proper
and Cahokia creek. The new
dyke above mentioned proved in.
sufficient to stay the rushing tide, and
il, too, Welded, and the torrent poured
into Cahokia creek. This was the one
thing that has for several days past
been most dreaded by densons OF East
St. Louis, for 1t was believed that II the
water direct from the river swept into
the creek it would change the direction
of its current, which will be reversed by
the slack water, and all that part OF
the city east and southeast OF the stream,
embracing the largest portion of the
town, would be submerged. Contrary
to all expectations, however,
and equally to the satisfaction
of the people. The result was not as
anticipated. The current did not change
it's course, but continued to flow north,
and for a time at least the main business
mart of the city has escaped inundatlon.
