The Sweet Things 90 Into eau .us Twice
and There Approve the Course of the
Democracy by Agreeing to Hold Execu-
tive Sessions
WASHINGTON, April PA caucus of
Republican Senators met at 10 o'clock
this morning, bat it was IL before any
thing like full attendance was present
Hale led in advocating the executive
sessions, and was supported by Hawley,
Sherman and several others. Most Of
the Senators were rather non committal.
Logan was willing to hold executive
sessions provided the Republicans
would not surrender any point
Of the pending fight. This
seems to be the prevailing opin-
ion. The caucus adjourned till this
evening without reaching any conclu.
siou; the Senate adjourned at two
o'clock this evening, aud the Republi-
can caucus Immediately reconvened. 1t
is apparent that early executive ses-
sions will be held, beginning perhaps
tomorrow, but the Republicans will
hold control of the business and refuse
to surrender their present fight. The
Democratic Senator's believe that one
executive session will break the Rspub-
licans and lead TO an early
adjournment. The reports that Senator
Platt has deserted Conkling are untrue.
Platt stuck by Conkling in to-day's eau
Gus and will stand by him. Conkling
intends to bring the Robertson fight on
as soon as possible and he believes he
can win it. Ex-senator Eaton, of Con-
necticut, and warm friend of Conkling,
is here, advising the Democratic Sena-
tors to vote against Robertson. He
came to help Conkliug in the fight
against the Administration.

POOR MAHONE.

How Shall the Little Thing Vote In Exec
utive Session p-The Work OF the Cau-
Gus
WASHINGTON, April 27.-The Repub-
lican caucus this evening appointed q
committee, with Mr.. Dawes as chair
n an, to consider the question oil an ex-
ecutive session, and report back to the
caucus. Mr.. Conkling spoke OF his
having been held responsible for
the continuance OF the deadlock, and
he said ne had no objection to the ex-
ecutive session and that he is well pre-.
pared now 10 make his fight against
Robertson, and intimated his confidence
of success. Some OF the Presidents
friends were then willing TO defer action
until they could once more confer
with the President while. no de-
cision in favor OF the executive
session was reached. The Republican
Generally seem to believe that will be
the outcome. Sdnator Miller to-day no
tiyed Dawes that unless the Republi-
cans move for an Executive session, he
Miller will vote with the Democrats
for one; that he feels bound to
break the dead lock. Another
question somewhat embarrassing is as
to how Malone willifeel called upon to
vote in the executive session. Ii he
votes with Conkling against Robertson,
he will lose the friendship OF the admin
istration, and is he votes against Conk-
ling, the latter will be likely to antsgon
ize the nominations made in beiRlf OF
Malone.
The Postmaster.General said to q
Western Associated Press reporter to-
night that he had nothing to give out
about the Star service investigation yet.
1t is evident that Conkliug is in earn
est in intending to make the Robertson
fight right away il ifexecutive sessions are
held. A friend ofthe Presidents advised
him to withdraw all the nominations
and thus force the Senate to adjourn,
after which the President could appoint
whom lie pleases, but the President is
confident that a majority will vote to
confirm Robertson.

Special Dispatch TO the Register.
FARsINGroS, April q.
John Baker, an old gentleman living
near Warrington, and who was robbed
some time ago of several hundred dol
lars worth OF valuables and money, was
robbed again last night, and while de-
Tending himself against the robbers with
an axe he had in the house, they shot
him several times, mortally woundlng
him. The doctors say he cannot re-
cover. Squire Christy, from Manning
ton, was called to the scene, and has
posse of men detailed, who are securing
the woods to find the robbers. There
is considerable excitement prevailing
about the neighborhood. T.
Later Particulars.
Special Dispatch to the Register.
MANSISGToN, W. Va, April q.
Great excitement prevails in this
neighborhood over the attempted MUIR
der of john Baker, an aged gentleman
who lives in a lonely hollow, on Dentz
run, about two miles from this place.
About l o'clock this morning, Mr.
Baker thought he heard some un-
usual noise about his premises, and
upon going to the window TO ascer-
tain the cause of the disturbance,
he was shot through the left lung. The
vicious rascals then broke in the win.
dow sash with an axe and upon enter
ing the room hacked the old gentleman
up in a most s,ckening manner. His
head was pound ed almost TO a jelly, his
ears were nearly severed from the head
and his shoulders and body were terri.
bly, bruised.
After having accomplished the muir
der OF their victim, as they supposed,
they ransacked the house and disap-
peared, having secured about $500 IN
cash.
When found, Mr.. Baker was still un-
conscious but after several hours OF hard
work, the physicians succeeded in bring
ing him to his senses. He was under
the impression that there were three
men in the party but he was not able to
identify them and as yet there
is no clue to the perpetrators
Of the dastardly deed. The country is
being secured by armed horsemen and
should the Williams be captured they
would not receive much mercy at the
hands of the iniuriated citizens.
Mr.. Baker is again unconscious and
physicians say they have no hope OF his
recovering.

Reported Murder of Governor overton'
ST. LOUIS, April 27.-The Republicans
Den;son, Texas, special says: A rumor
prevailed here last night tnat Governor
Oyerton, OF the Indian Nation, north oi

is discredited, bnt owing TO the tact that
the Governor has been in the field with
his militia for some time driving out
trespassers, and has thereby incurred
the enmi!y of large number OF cow
boys and others, it is thought by some
the report may be well founded: II is
