WASHINGTON April LIS P. M.-The sta
tus between Conkling and the Admins
tration is about as follows A number Of
Democratic Senators certainly intend to
vote with Conkling, but the Democratic
Senators, as a whole. are divided as to the
best policy TO pursue before the time for
action arrives. The Democrats will hold
a caucus on the subject, and unless it shall
appear plainly that party policy dictates a
solid vote, one way or the other, each
Senator will be left to vote as he chooses.
Conkling will in all probability get Is
Democratic Senators, who hold that to
defeat Robertson is to open war all along
the line. Between the Administration,
prompted by Blame and the great stalwarts,
it is evident that CoDkling has more
strength to back him in the Senate Cham
Der thar was supposed. A rumor prevails
this afternoon of a conference between
Conkling and Pendleton, looking to an
early executive session.
Governor Wallace Calls Ont the
Militia.
DURANGO, April 1.-The whole section
Of country around Rio Arabia. New Mexico,
is in a state of nervous excitement and
terror. The cause of terror is that Ike
Stockton and his gang, who, with his
brother port, have for years been depre-
dating through New Mexico and Texas,
numbering, stealing, etc. Less than a
month ago Port Stockton, whose h~eadquar-
tiers were near Pennington, entered q
saloon in that town where a number of
ranchmen were drinking, and as custom
airy, ordered everybody to take a drink
under penalty of being shot on refusal.
The ranchmen not complying he drew his
revolver, but was Immediately shot and
killed. Ike Stockton hearing of this,
called q gang of six or seven desperadoes
and started for Pennington, with the
ayowed purpose of killing every man who
was present when Port was killed. Since
then they have been numbering rancbmen
and cowboys, killing and stealing stock
and defying the authorities. A Vigilance
Committee was organized, but is power
less. The desperadnes being thoroughly
acquainted with the country, we'll mount
ed, and having divided into three or four
squads in order to evade them. Governor
Wallace has called out the militia, and the
country will be secured until the despera-
does are run down.
A Big Flood Expected.
OMAHA, March 31.-A dispatch was re-
ceived at the Office Of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul office in this city
from the company Office at Sioux City this
afternoon, notifying all the agents of the
company to warn persons living on the low
lands along the Missouri river that an i'm
mense food was coming down and to move
their families, live stock and other nova
BILE effects to high ground as soon as posi-
BILE. The river is reported rising. The ice
gorge broke at Yankton last night.
1t is still gorged between Sioux City and
Vermilion. The water is falling at Fort
Sully. The immense rise of over % feet
at Yankton is of a local character, caused
by the ice gorges, and they are now break
ing. 1t is believed here that the accumu-
lated water there will waste its strength be-
fore reaching Omaha. However, every
precaution is being taken here. All the
Union Pacific rolling stock has been taken
up from the lower yard on the river levee
to higher ground. If the food reaches this
city it will sweep over the leyee and do a
great deal of damage to the railroad shops,
smelling works, lumber yards, etc. The
river has been free from ice since last Sum-
day. 1t is very high and rising slowly, but
is within its banks. A strong wind has
been blowing all day from the north, aud
this afternoon it was freezing and some
snow fell.
