More Caucus Spccu.otions.

WASHINGTON, May 2.--The Republican
caucus committee will report to the caucus
to be held tomorrow morning that they have
been unable to accomplish the purpose that
they had in view, which was to arrange a
definite plan of procedure in regard
TO executive business. This vir-
tually leaves the matter of executive sessions
where it was when the committee was ap-
pointed. The prevailing opinion among Re
publicans is that the decisions will be in favor
of an executive session. In the interview the
coucus committee had with the President
the latter did not, as has been reported, say he
would consent to let Robertson's nomination
60 over until December, on condition that all
other nominations should also go over. The
Western Associated Press reporter has OBJ
tanned an accurate account of the interview
from the best authorities. The President took
the dlgnfed position that he could not
consent to any sort of condition, or cOmprom-
ise. nor could he make any concessions. He
had sent toItheSenate nominations he regarded
as eminently proper to be made, and he still
believed SO. 1t was the duty of the Senate to
act upon those nominations as it deemed
wisest. He would not assume to suggest
what the Senate action should be, but its
clear duty was to sake some action. If
he should consent to delay or make any con-
cession, or by implication it should seem that
he had doubt as to the wisdom and propriety
of his nominations, it would be his duty to
withdraw the nominations. There was no
halfway ground for him. He had either to
stand by the nominations or withdraw them.
He believed the contested nominations to be
proper ones, but If the Senate, in its wisdom,
saw otherwise, it could reject them. The
committe said that the President vas
determined and subsequently the result of the
interview was communicated to Senator Conk-
ling. In the interview Robertson's case was
understood to be the one particularly in
volved, but was not singled out. Conk-
ling, upon learning the Presidents views,
declared that while he might have
been willing for the sake of harmony to let
Robertson 60 over, he would not now consent
to any sort of a compromise, but that he in
tended to make his fight soon and that at an
early day he will give to the country his side
of this question. 1t was understood of course
among ConkliIg and his friends that if the
President would consent to allow Robertson's
case 60 over unlil December this would imply
an agreement on the part of the President
that he would not upon adjournment
of the Senate, appoint Robertson to the New
York collectorship. 1t was only on condition
of the Presidents Agreements to this thai
Conkling would consent to postpone the igh
now. 1t is regarded as necessary for Conkling
TO make his fight this session, and he is evi
IDENTIFY preparing for it. Several prominen
Republicans have endeavored to get him tc
submit to Robertson's appointment, but HI
insists that his partyin New York command

such crimes as those charged by the

the present case there is nothing presented that

from Buford states that positive information

CHICAGO, May 2.-Cables dull and lower,
both public and private. Our wheat market
showed signs of weakness early, but soon ad-
vanced, closing on Change nervous. The fear
that some deal is underway and talk about
some prominent parties taking all the wheat
rather gives strength to prices. The deliveries
of wheat especially, and provisions, have been
very large and the former is well scattered,
while lard is concentrated to one place. With
the foreign markets weak as they are and con-
tinued favorable crop reports, can't see any

firm and closed at outside. 1t is the same with
oats. Curb prices: june wheat $l.04; July

Base Ball.

CHICAGO, May 2.-The second game of base
ball between the Clevelands and Chicagos was
played with cold raw wind blowing fairly
against the batsman and causing the batting
to be light and an embarrassing game. Flint
received hard foul tip on the breast early in
the game, but was not disabled long: Dali
rymple received a pitched ball full on the chin,
laying the flesh open to the bone. Corcoran
replaced him in the left field. The Chicagos
made one in the first, Clevelands two in the
fourth and one in the seventh, the Clevelands
winning by three to one. The Chicagos made
two errors and five base hits, the Clevelands
two errors and seven base hits. The pitching
was very fine, but the batting was weak and
the game uninteresting, compared with the
brilliant and exciting one of Saturday.

At st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, May 2.-The washout in the Ohio
& Mississippi railroad dyke and embankment
in East st. Louis, which connects the island
with the main land, reported last night. is
about fifty feet wide. The dyke Is 1900 feet
long and was parallel with
800 feet north of what is known
as Bowman's dyke. The effect of the
break was simply to fill the space between the
two dykes with water. The Bowman dyke has
been strengthened in its weak spota, Its low
places raised, and 1t is believed now to be
capable of withstanding the pressure
upon it, but should the river rise
much more the water viii overflow
the dyke, in which case the result Will be dis
astrous. As the embankment is the only
barrier now between the river and Ca
pokea creek, should It break al ran and (, overflow
would be inundated. The river is still rising,
and general inundation is imminent. All the
railroad companies and city authorities of
East ST. Louis are fully alive to the impending
danger, and are doing everything possible to
avert the threatened calamity.
