REPUBLICAN CAUCUS,

The Arrangement Made concerning Nomina-
/ ~ items.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-All the prominent
Republicans attended the caucus this MORN
ing. They desire 20 determine what Is con-
tested and what Ii uncontested nominations.
The Administration Senators maintained the
adverse report Of committee should consti-
tute contested nomination. Conkling and
his friends held the objection Of one Senator
from the State In which the nomination be-
longs made II contested. This point was
not settled and this afternoon the caucus
will pursue the question. Conkling was
conspicuously pleasant, which many regarded
- proof that he was satisfied with the situa-
ton.
The Democrats discussed Informally to-day
how they had better vote In the approaching
executive session. Some Democrats are
working hard for Conkling and claim fifteen
Democrats will vote against Robertson.
There IL, however, report that some Repub-
licans are dropping away from Conkling be-
cause he won't push their fight TO the disad-
vantage Of the Republican party. Execu-
tive sessions will certainly be held this
week.
