DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE- There was an informal_confercnce of Demo- cratic Scnators at the Capitol this afternoon. It was pot'celied a cancus, and Senator Thur- wnan, the presiding ofiicer, Was 1ot present, not was a Chairman appointed. The purpose of the conferene was fo faterchange views onthe sub- ject of an adjournment. Various opinions were expressed. Some favorea ag ad- journment on ‘Iuesdav at 6. o'lock, any believing, that it would be useless 1o iry to sctile the pending Senatorial contests, as a debate once bezun on the merits of the Butler casc/might run three weeks. The statement was made that, Fernando Wood had rriven notice that be shall 1ry’to pass a resolu- tion for final adjournment of this session on Tuesday at 6 o'clock, or, at the latest, on ‘Wednesday. - No decision was reached on any £ubject, and the question of adjournment is us indefinite as ever.

C., Nov. 22.—The *inward- ness™ of Conover’s apostasy is accounted for t0 somc extent in a gelfisn purvose to foree the inistration to give him full control of the eral patromage of the State of Florida. He says he hgs given the Administration notice that, if it does not comply with his demand, he will make the Republicans tremble, and, to use his own expression, be will “make ’em smell Jell.” The fmmediate cause of this defee- Lion is that Conover's demand for the ap- pointment of a Postwasier at Pensacola was not acceded to. ‘The cireumstances of the case are tnese: A special agent of tie .

CARRYING THE MATLS. THE TNEXPENDED BALANCE OF LAST YEAR'S APPROPRIATION — THE ‘*‘6TAR SERVICE "'— HOW AN AMENDMENT WAS STRICKEN OUT. ue New York Times, SGTON, Nov. 21.—The Housc spent the ay in the consideration of the Deficieney Appfopriation bill, and did not succeed in com- ting it. A ototracted strugzle occurred over a1 amendment to reappropriate the unexpended balauce of the appropriation made last year for carrying the mails, amounting to over $700,000. The sum approprizted for truusporting the mails for the last fistal year was nearly $16,000,000. This sum_is divided into two 1tems, nearly 000,020 of the amount being specil ppropriated for what is ki ’ which iucludes all portation of the mails by conveyances other than railroads. * While thie sun appro- priated fer star service is more than sufiicient for the requirements of that service, the sum appropricted tor railroad service is not sutticient, and reduced mal facilities on the principal routes of travel has been the result. The star service is couiined for the most part to sparsely setrled scetions of the Southern avd Western States and to Lhe Territories, aud has been the main cause of 21l the'peculations and scandals that bave been recently developed inconnection Wwith the postal service. Of the amount appro- printed last year for the star service, over 700,000 remain unexpended, and to-day, wl the Deficieney Dill was under cousid the Comnvittee of the Wheie, an amendreny was incorporated making this unexpended bal- ance available for fncreasinz and extending that SCTVi When the Lill was reported to the were ordered on re- taining this amenément, and, 2iter cons.derable skirn inge on the part of the star-serviceadvo- cates to defeat a record vole, the amendment was stricken out bya voteol 14 to103.

He Declines to Lose His Grip, and Is as'Defiant as Ever. 3 Visit from an Indianapolis Policeman Who Identifies the Prisoner. The Officer Gives an Account of His Intro- duction to Rande. Yesterday's Record of Miscellaneous ‘Transgressions. RANDE. Special Dispateh fo The Chicaga Tribune. S1. Louss, Nov. 24.—It was expected that the transfer of Rande, the desperado, from the jail in this city to Knox County, Tilinois, would be made to-vight, aud in consequence, at the ap- proach of train hours, reporters and correspond- ents gathered at the jail to witness the transportation of the prisoner to the depot, while many; went prepared {o follow the Lli- nois oflicers wherever they mizht go. {L was the belicf that the outlaw would run an immi- uent risk of mob-violence while iu transit, and hence the desire to follok and b¥inat the death. It was ascertained u short time previous to train time tbgt the determination to tako Rande to Iiiinois to-night had béen abandoned, and there was a general seattering of reporters to await further developments. ~Subsequently it was officially announced that hereafter there would be no-sevret about the matter of ' trans- ferring the prisoner, and that the uewspapers would be apprised when the formal delivery to the Nitois otlicers would take place, It was also aunounced that the delivery would take place to-morrow night or the following morn- ing. It was tbe actual ~ iutention to leave to-nicht for Galesburz, but it was disovered that a departure Uy this evening's train would involve a delay of ‘several hours at 4 wuy station, thus subjecting the prisoner to the perils of that mob violence which Ilinois officials wish to avoid. Hence ‘the pos pouement. While being couveyed to Gales- burg the prisoner will be shackled and there will be a goard of eight men to perform the double duty of seeing that he docs not ¢s- cape and is not submitted 0 the vigorous treat- ment of Judge Lynch., During the day Rande has been as defl- aut and Dlasphemous as ever, swear- ing that ke is as braveSia mm as ever lived, that be will live many years yet to kill more d- policemen, and that be docs are 8 d—n when he is taken to Illi- or how muny cowardly mobs threaten lis life. In talklug to a re- porter to-day be said: By G—, I've been in too wany penitentiaries, had too many balls and cbains on me, and have been shot 8t too often, to die with a rope around my ncek. No d—d mob dare hurt me, and they can’t con- vict me either, for the murders at Gilson or_St. Elmo. Because was uear there does not prove that I was there and am the man that did the shooting.. I ackuowledze my deeds. I owned up that [ shot the policeman “at Indian- anolis, and I would own to auy murder or theft I might commit.” In fact Rande hasindulged to such anextrava- gant dewree in these prorane and blasphemous ns, relieving the almost constant flow docio with such eceentric figures of speech and disjointed attempt at,wit and philoso- phy, as to sugoest the idea of insavity. A shrewd attorney, afier hearing ay, said for a suilicient consideration he could almost guarantee to avert the death-sentence at the hands of a jury. This idea of {usuvity by way of sugrestion, bowever, aud the oflicials, vlio have ohserved the prisoner from day to v, 54y that e is ot ouly compos mentls, but exceptionally copl and samacious, and that the plea of tmotional insanity, taking the form of an uncontrollable thirst for biood, would be lfaughed at By a_sensible jury, Rande was fold m ‘a joking way' to- day that some . people thought him crazy, when he replied, “Welt, that’s the beavicst thine yet. By G—, I'd rather dic and have people call me sm: than live sud be brauded a d—d fool. The orly way I'll ever get ofl will be behind loaded six-shooter, put- ting Qaylight through any d—d oflicer that in- tercepts me.” Tt appcars that all of Rande’s sins are about to come out vn him at once. Since his incarcera- tion he bas been identified as the perpetrator of no less than eight dilferent offenses in ditfer- cnt parts of the country. Reference is here made to the case swhere the identilication has been positive, and docs not rest upon suspleion or upun circumstantial evidence. ‘To~day another accuser came in the person of Police Officer T, W. Burnham, of Indianapolis, who arrived i the cit§ this afterioon, and, hob- Lling into the Four Courts building on crutches, asked 1o see Chief of Dolice McDohongh. Ue informed the Chief that in un cncounter Wwith a desperado a few weeks 220 he was badly shot in ‘the les, wnd he had a notion that Raude was the pers petrator of this deed. The Chief readily con- sented to show him the vrisoner, and the twain at unce proceeded to thecell ocenpied by Rande. “That’s him! that’s the identical chap who put me on crutches,” excluimed the Indianapolis nolice oflicer, 15 soon as he laid eyes on Rande, Rande looked at the policeman, aid coolly said, “ Yes, by God! I'shot you with the very pistol the y 1 killed Officer White with. It wis u woud one.” It was good cnough to me a very bad Ieg,” replicd the ofliver. now. I'wint 1o say to you” responded tande, *“that you oughti't to have any hard winst ine. You beat me with w club. I struck you with a brass knuckles but that dide’t do any good, and was'bound to shoot. f assure you { don’t bear ivuu 4uy alice,” concluded the checky out- aw. ‘*Malice! ‘The maiice ought to be on my side,” replied the disgusted policeman, walking away. When he returned to the Chiel’s “office he told the follow- ‘inz story of his desperate encounter with Raude: *On the eveninr of the 5th of October, while I was cating my supper, a negro came in and said there was a man_over on my beat who was raising the devil. My beat embraced that part of tie suburbs of Indiavapolis through which the Indianapolis & Lafayette Railroad runs. 1t is a séetion of the town inhabited by the riff-raf of the communi- ty, white and black, and tights -there are as common as potatves. The negro told me that the man whose arrest he desired had been in the neighborhood for two or three days; that he hiad been living among the colored peo- pi¢, keeplug in their confideuce by distributing snide jewelry among the women. On the night in guestion” he bad usked his entertainer 10 “prepare supper for him. The re- quest could not be complied with, be- cause there was no fuel on the premises with which o zet up a blaze, The fcllow ot over the difliculty by entering an adjoining yard, capturing a wheclbarrow, and reducing it %o kinling-wood. My informant was the owner of the wheelbarrow, and wantéd its destroyer ken . Well, 1 went out to make ihe arrest. For the first time in my official life I neglected to strap my navy on my person. Ar- riving at_the place desigucd, 1 found my man, —this same fellow Rande,—~and took him in charge. He wallied along very quictly until we reathed a place onm the railroad track where it was tolerably lxht, when I noticed a movement of his right hand tuat didn’t suit me. Pullivg my bily from m breast 1 struck him twice over the bead, but the blows, although they brougit tue blood, were not sufficient to prevent tiie - raseal from accomplishing Lis purpose. He whipped out a revolver, struck me in the face, and started on a run, fir- Ing back at me over his left shoulder. The tirst shot took me in the leg, the left onc, here, just above the aukle, and down I went.” Rande continned to fire, but none of the subsequgnt_shots fpund their way tome. Heescaped. I lay there until citizens, attracted by reports of the pistol, came and carried me Lome, aud that’s the story of my first meeting with Raode. My second inter- view you have just witnesses The oflicer sitpplemented the above narrative withthe statement that when the arrest was made Police-Oflicer Ellis was also present, aud went aloug with him* with the prisoncr, think- ing, however, that Rande was au ordinary with no bellizerent tendencies. He drop- ved bebind, © whercupon the disguised outlaw took advantaze of tae absence, and opened the fight with the result above stated. s Liande’s statosment of the affair is that fie ar- rived in Indianapolis on the mght of . the 5th of October for the purpose of jéiningz~and trayels ing with a cireus which b espected | to find at that place.

He tobk the wheelbarrow to pleces, and'vas in 1Bt of meding o when @ nejgh® ) ¥ $ bor living next d clafmed_it, and accused Rande of stealing lg?one-whcr:l vehicle, where- uponafight ozcurred. - He (Rande) badly bruiscd the accuser. An alarm was given, two policemen arrived and took nim in.. e told them his pame was Fred Adams, and that he belonged to Montgomery Queen’s circus, and berged to be Iet off, but they were obstinate and told bim to move ;on. He knew they did not suspect e was so_formidably armed, and he waited an opportunity to pounce upon bls cap- tors and“anuibilate them. When one police- man dropped pehind he considered the oppor- tunity favorable, and drew o brass knuckle, striking Officer. Burnbam on the lm:lt!, Burnham was_plucky, and rajved blows upon him ‘with his billy. Rande then diew _a small pistol, fired, and fled. "When about thirty feet off he observed the’ policemen In’ pursuit, when, drawing his large navy pistol, bo ired over his left shiouider, taking mo particular aim, but, neverthe- Icss, bringing down his puesuer. e was' very sorry he didn't kill the police- man, aud read the papers announcing that the wound was severe but not fatal with much rearet, and now he thinks Burnthm ought'to feel gratefnl that he wasn ot killed. Rande’s wounds are improving rapidly, and will soon be entirely healed. THE TWEED New York Herald, James H. Ingersoll, the chairinaker, who sup- plicd snch high-priced furniture to the city and county under the patronage of the Ring, was before the Aldermanic Investigating Committeo yesterday. Mr.Ingorsoll isa fat, comfortable- lovking man, apparently sbout 35 years old, aud as he lolled in an armchair at the beginning of the examination, his lef: haud thrust in tie trowsers pocket of a neat blue-cloth suit, his right carcssing his mustache, aud his eyes gaz- ing placidly at the Comumittee through a bluck rimmed pince nez, his whole manner and atti- tude were sugecetive of a bank President who had just dined, rather than of a self-couvicted person about to be questioned concerning his guilt.
