From our regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, ID. G., April s.
This has been a famous week for polite,
pure and simple, There has been complct,
neglect of pressing public business in ordel
that senator's might have a regular set TO
They have been At !, now for more than
month and there arc today as few signs o
cessation as when they first began. Their,
have been days on which Hill, Lamar, Ma
hone, Kellogg, Vance, Sherman and VOORHEES,
were individually the star actors Senator
Conkliug has. not yet SHE'D his thunderbolt q
the administration, ana unless he performs
pretty soon the political wranglc will grow
stale and monotonous.
The principal topic Of gossip Il, the senate
Is IN regard to the significance to be attached
to the speeches of Mcssrs. Sherman, lIaw
ley and burnside, delivered in the senate
The talk is that the two latter senator,
are close to the administration, and il is ex
pected Of them, if the president desired a
break in the present deadlock, to secure the
confirmation Of his nominations, they would
be willing to abide some plan 10 break il
Now, 1t is claimed they have, by their
speeches, served notice that the Republican
line will not We broken, and ii the prcsiten,
desires to exert executive influence to break
it, 1t would be directed to the democratic side
Another theory Is that they have taken this
ground IN behal. OF the caucus programme,
in accordance with the views Of the president,
after consultation with him.
A rumoi Is ahoat, and II ia credited In some
quarters, tina, if the deadlock continues much
longer the president will convene tbs 47,h
congress In special session.
One of the rumors atioat is that at the recent
caucus committee was appointed to endeav-
or to harmonic these differences, and pend
Ing such attempt the republicans have de
cded to show a1irm front and insist upon the
resolution to elect the officers selected by the
republican caucus. 1t is said that it will he
upon the president that the confirmation of
Judge Robertson, while it can be secured, will
cause the destruction Of the republican party
in New York that, leaving Senator Conkling
out of the question, 1t is agrave consideration
whether any such risk ought to be taken.
One plan Is that the president shall withdraw
Robertson and nominate IN his stead some
person of national reputation outside of the
state OF New York who is allied to neither of
tIn III
publicans, and let him administer the office
on business principles. In connection with
such a proceeding there has been n rumor
that Senator David Davis would not be oUjeC
tionable to any OF the clans. 1t is not De-
leyed that the president would select Davis
even if he withdrew Robertson; but If he
should, then in such event the senate would
have u constitutional majority without the
aid of Mr.. Nahones vote.

There was general indignation expressed by
all In the party on their arrival here yesterday
u
go, Burlington Il Quincy railroad company
The company agreed to transport them with
out change OF cars through to their destination,
via Davis Junction, and keep them on the
road only two days. Instead Of doing this
the company sent them by the way Of Rock
Island, more CirCuitous and less desirable
route, and brought them into St Paul day
behind time The members oi the party say
that the company has violated every provis
ION OF the agreement made with them and
that they propose to prepare detailed state
ment of their grievances for publication in the
Ottawa papers when they arrive In Campbell
Col Brush, who IL one Of the leading lawyers
of Ottawa for over eleven years, told Piones'
Press reporter that last year, when the an
nouncement that the party WAS going to Min
nesota WAS made, most of their friends ridi
culed the project, told them they would freeze
out but that now the people down that way
were taking more kindly to the movement to
ward Minnesota, and that many Of those wh'
had laughed at them year ago were now witt
them. I'VE arc "a party OF lawyers, bankers, cd
itors, preachers and other professional mel
turned grangcrs," SAID Col. Brush; land ar
satisfied We can do better in the Red Rive
valley than anywhere else"
