An Informal Conference.

Spec1al 10 TIE Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 2-The accidental
meeting of three or four Senators in the
rooms of Mr.. Cullom last evening has been
magnified by the local papers into formal
conference of Republican leaders at which,
as is alleged, there was a long discussion
ing party policy. The facts of the matter
are that Senators Allison, Chandler and
Dolph, who are in the city, called upon Mr.
Cullom last evening. While they were sit
ting with him Colonel Dudley came In with
Mr.. Fessenden. the Connecticut member of
the Republican national committee, TO pay.
their respects. The conference naturally
drifted upon the political situation in the
House of Representatives,. and the import
ance of the Republicans in taking
every precautiOn to secure their majority.
The elections in the Territories were also
alluded to. and it was the general opinion
that the Republican national committee
ought to take charge of the canvass in
Montana, where there is much doubt as 10
the result regarding an extra session. There
was a general interchange of opinion.
nearly every one agreeing that Congress
should not be called until after the special
elections in the Territories, because of the
narrow majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives, and the several Senators present
agreed to speak 10 the President on the
subject at the first opportunity, but did not
do SO to-day, and there was no conference
with him. as reported in the Washington
evening papers. Mr.. Cullom, Mr.. Allison
and Mr.. Chandler were at the White House,
but the latter was the only one who had the
patience TO wait for an opportunity to see
him. 1t is the general opinion among these
Senators that there will be an extra session
called for the first Monday in November.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. July 2-There are more
members of the House and Senate here at
the present time than there has been at any
time before since the great rush for offices
first subsided. There has been more or less
secrecy maintained in reference TO these
visitors, and Senators especially have
shown disposition to throw ipquirers off
the scent by the statement that they are
simply looking" out for few places for
their friends. 1t is learned, however, that
there is an Objectin these gatherings. which
is of far more moment than the petty spoils.
The greatest interest is being manifested
in the forthcoming elections in the four
new States, and every Republican is ex-
ceedingly anxious that the elections shall
be carried in every district for the Repub-
ican nominee. The gatherings therefore
may be positively stated to have very
close connection with these elections. The
practical unanimity of belief that
Congress will be called together
before the date for the regular
session, and the report of Demo
cratic success in one of the local elections
in Montana. together with the knowledge
that the best efforts of the party are neces-
sary to control and maintain the organize
tion of the House, have set the leaders to
thinking that something must be done.
The consultations, which have been of an
entirely informal character thus far, have
resulted in practical determination among
the leaders of the party to take hold of the
campaign in Montana and to make the fight
q national one.
1t is thought here tonight that the ma
tional committee will be called upon 20
take charge of details. While Montana is
the principal point of weakness in the Re-
publican fabric in the Northwest. it
is not intended the other new States
shall be neglected, and it is prob
able that within the present month
plan of campaign will be out
lined, which will insure as vigorous a
political movement in the two Dakotas.
Montana and Washington as characterized
the contest in any of the oldest congression-
al districts last fall. The Republicans here
do not propose TO lose any of the five seats
by default. On the contrary, they are de-
termined that if the Democrats carry any
one of them it will be only after the liveliest
kind of a canvass.
