Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasuixarox, D. C., April 23.—The fact that the Republican Senators have deter- mined to hold d caucus for the purpose of de- cliling upon tire propriety of going into ex- ecutive sesslon does not necessarily give the New York nominations any advagtage. It is generally understood to be theintention that no attempt shall be made to confirn: any nowinations that are contested, and that, of the uncontested ones, only those shall be considered the confirmation of which is essential to the good of the service. The re- port that the President interested himself to secure the break of the deadlockis true to the extent that he, withlu the Iast few days, has been very emphaticin his doclarations that an executive session is necessary to properly earry on the Government. THE INSPIRATION OF MR. FRYE’S SPEECI has been misjudged. by the Democrats. Mr. Frye' consjtuents live in Maine, and he speaks for himself. Mr. Frye probably never consultéd with the President or Secretary Bluine as to the character of the speech. e makes his own speeches. Mr. Frye himself is the authority for the stutement that he had no intention of speakinz more than twunty minates when he began. 1le did not intend to gtve his argument so wide a scop@, but he became: Interested in his subject, and spolke for more than two hours. T'he speech which the Democrats have tried to mulke a deliberate, studied purpose of the Adminis- trution was, in a greut measure, the result of ouo of those inspirations which come to natural orators when speaking. STAR ROUTES 2 AND OTHER POST-OFFICE WORKINGS. Special Dispatch to Tiw Cincago Tribune. WasniNgToy, D. C., April 23.—The Com- mittees that ave investlgating the star-route seandal have been in ion to-day, but no special developments have been made. One Committee, in charge of Special Agent Woodward, has been investigating the alle- gations with respect to the use of a certain patented elamp or mail-bag fastener. George IL Fayma mail-agent, invented a simple device for fasteming pouches, and endeavored to have it adopted. advantages were ad- milted by the 'Examining Committee, and it was offered at a small royalty. ‘Two clerks, tes and Langley, were employed by Faywan to assist- jn securing the adoption of ths patent. James, whose difliculties as T'reasurerof the Railway Postal Clerks' Association recently attracted some attention, and whese subsequentappeintment in the Post-ORico created surprise, induced Fayman to assizn the patent to him as a bet- ter means ol securing its adoption. James then authorized GiORGE A. SHERIDAN to manufaciure and use the fasteners. Tho assigument from Fayman to James, and the authorization from James to Sheridan, was on the same day. On account of this fact Fayman claims that James and Sheridan combined to deprive him of his patent. Sheridan then, it Is charged, sceured a contraet from the Government for the .use of the fasteners at a wmuch higher price than the royalty which was first offered by Fayman, and a large number of the fasteners were ordered made under this contract, although itis not known that any of them have ever been used. Fay- man employed a noted criminal Jawyer of this city to aid him in re his patent, and has given nos bring suit, but he has notyet filed his bill. 1t is understood that the facts in this case were made known to Postmaster-General James and the President some weceks ago, and before the Investigating Commission was appointed. This mornlng Col. Cook, the counsel, WROTE TO MR, FAYMAY, who is quise ill and unable to be interviewed as to the case, that he does not deern it wise, in view of the contewplated suit, for him to make any statement except to his attorney, * for such statements may be misrepresented as well as misunderstood, and thus injure your case.” This is the case in which Gen. George A. Sheridan asked for an investiga- tion by the Post-Oftice Departuient. Sheri- dan, it Is said, claims to have expended a large amount of money to secure the con- tract. lle has demanded an investigation, and insists that the charges ar e false, and that he has had no improper relations to the matter. The Sixth Auditor is alsoto have the investigation which he seeks. His friends insist that heis .in_no way respousible for anything that hes been wrong in the. star- route service. Some of those who are press- ing the prosecution say that, while MR. M'GREW, TIlE AUDITOR, may not have done wrong himself, he Is cul- uble for having allowed subordinates to do mproper acts. A friend of Brady, who claims Lo kuow all about the matter, says that there is absolutely nothing “x’n the charge now that was not inyes- tizated by the Congressional Committes which exonerated him, Al the questions as to expedition of service, he says, were then fully exawined, and it was made to appear that, in every cuse, the service was expedited at the urgent request of members of both Iouses of Congress, Governors of States, miiitary ofiicers, and others, who claimed to believe that the service of the Government would be benefited by the expedition. Mr. Brady intends to answer the charges, and will probably. publish his answer in a pumphict. Hedeniesthatthereis anything that gan possibly result in zu}g' action In thecourts aguinst him, and insYSts that the most that can ue,clmrre hgainst him is the exercise of a too liberal d ion in the administration of what evideutly is a bad law. A GOOD MANY STAR-ROUTE CONTRACTORS whose names are likely to be mentioned in connectlon with the pending investigation are arriving here, nd propose to make com- mon cause in self:defense. They, of course, insist that there has been nothing wrongz. and ‘are quite nolsy in thelr declarations that the charges against them have been made by blackmailers. . Thissameassertion was made Iast winter, when a ‘few newspapers, sup- ported by some Congrgsmen, began to ex- j0so the stur-route swindles. ‘The . new Postmaster-General. supported and . encour- aged by President Gariield, Lus: now. if the contractors are to be believed, allied himself .with the (what the contractors call) original blackmailers, One. rather prominent con- tractor says that, if he is to go down, he will not go down alone. Anotner said to-day: “This reform movement is going to pl:\f' the devil with the bosses, and, if the President continues in this mad policy, he will ruin the prospects of the party for the mnext eam- paizni” The Administration, however, be- licves in correeting ~ abuses wherever found, and .t will be something to its credit it it shall succeed in uncarthing n lot of rascaliiy which the Ad- ministration of = purc-und-good Mr. Haves either failed to discover or kuowingly toler- ated, and which the Democratic Conzress condoned. THE MEMBEDS OF CONGRESS. To the Western dssoctated Press. Wasmiyeroy, D. C., April 25.—8everal members of Congre mspicuous In support of the clency which Brady asked the last Congress for to maintain tho starserviceare here. Brady asked for §2,000,000 more than had been appropriated, and Con- gressmen who urged the deficlency say they did 50 on the gromid that thé siar service had to be maintained; that they recognized the fact that Brady had been extravagant, but they were not willing to make the people of the country suffer by depriving them of their ails ~ because” of Mr. DBrady’s fault. It said that® Mr Urady has preserved all the recommendations and re- quests of members of Congress for inereased service, and wiil exhibit them in his defense. Members of Congress generally admit that they have asked for and urged an Inerease of mail ser in their respective States, but that they expected It to be done legitimately; and most of the memnbers here say they as ol only such inerease as the growth of popula- tion and business demanded. ‘The rumors of Congressmen having been connected with the alleged jrregul appear to be without foundation. A hizh authority in the Post- Otiice Department states that nothing yet de- veloped lnculpates any member of Congress. EMERY STORRS. WHAT TE THINKS AFTER S1 i IN WASI- INGTON A T Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribuna, Wasimixcroy. D. C., April 23.—The Hon. Emery A. Storrs left to-day for Chicago. Be- fore leaving ne gave hisviews for THE Thin- UNE upon the political situation here as seen by him. Speaking of the deadlock, he said: “These difticultics are, L think, in a fair way of solution. If nvotecould be had to-day there is probably but little doubt that Judge 2obertson would be contirmed. The repe: Lly-cxpresse(( determination of the Pre: dent that the Custom-House shall not be cm- ployed s 2 politi engine against either Senator Conkling or his friends, and the belict rapldly gaining ground that he will beable to earry out his determination, has in my juds- ment aided very inuch to Teconcile the ac- tive friends of Senator Conkling throughout the State of New York to Judge Robertson’s appointment, and 1 am of opinion that, while there will be doubtless soume threntenings and murmurings, there will be no substant: division of the perty in that State growing out of Judge Robertson’s appolntinent. THE KUMOR I$ BAPIDLY GAINING BELIEVERS that Judge Robertson, as ition forcast~ ing his voteand that ot his friends for Sen- ator Platr, was assured Dby the Iatter that no - objection should ULe made to his confirmation by the Senate to any place to which the President might sce fit to appoint him, and it is said that the President is in possession of wrilten evidence of that understanding. If this be so, it certainly must relieve the President of all obligations so far as Senator Conkling is concerned, however uncomfortable migit be the position 1n which Senator Pistt was placed. This, so far as I kuow, however, is mere rumor, and itis due to Senator Platy to say thet he positively denies that any such understanding between himself and Judgs obertson ever “Do you think that FRYE'S SPEECH represents the Administration as regards the South?? “The effeet of Mr. Frye's speech in the Senate was, for a time at least, to nnite the Demoerats in hostility to the Administration, but I understand that yesterday the Presi- dent, in consultation with several fepresent- ative Southern men, assured them that Mr. Frye's speech could not be ta ing the views of tho Admi treatment of the South. However much of doubt there may be upon other points merely personal in thelr character, no one seems to ba in doubt as o the attitude of the Administration upon matters of principle and doctrine. Concern- ing this, the Presidentisas stalwartas the most stalwart. There will be no trifling with the laws, and ne half-way measures in their enforcement. ‘The South will be treat- ed fairly, but the Administration understands the Svuth to mean the entire South. There must be a free ballot and a fair_count. No onie thinks uow, so far as doctrine is con- cerned, that we shall be compelled to pass through four years of THE ABJECT CRINGING L of the last Administration.” * What about Civil Serviee?” “THE CIVIL SERVICE will not be used as a subject for essayists to experiment upon, nor will avpoiitment to oftice muzzle the man appointed. Every ile- n appointed to oflice: d none Lut Republicans will bs appointed—will not thereby Le deprived of the privilege of enter- taining and expressing his own Republican convictlons, nor will he be deprived of the privilege, after busines hours, of doing his best to defeat the Democratic party.” “The President, in his inaugural, sail he should recommend some law upon e sub- jeet. ~ Have you any information as o the nature of the contemplated proposition 27 1 think the scheme for a lifetenure in office will meet but little, if any, encourage- ment from this Administration, .and the scheme of appointing our political adver- saries toe oftice in the hope of conciliating them will meet with no consideration what- ever. SOMETHING NOT QUITE SO PRETENTIOUS, but inuch more practical, will be attempted, —doubtless appointinent to office for fixed terms established by law. It will not'be re- garded as covering the entire field of practi- cal Civll-Service reform to devise a schemne by which men can get into office without having some method adopted to determine how they must behave themselves while in oftice, and how they may be got rid of if they do not behave themselves.” “ Do you learn that there will be an execu- ‘tive sesslon soon 27 “ As to the deadlock in the Senate, it will, doubtless, so far us confirmations are con- cerned, be broken within a week. mean by this that the contest is to be abat- doned, but, from’ all that [ can gather, L a of the opinion that a cancus will soon be called for urzing some method by which the most essential contirmations, at least, may be acted upon and disposed of.” “110W ABOUT ILLINOIS APPOINTME: “I hear but little with regard to further appointmentsinthe State of 1llinois, and pre- sume that no important changes there wi be immediately made. strong with the President, and is, I believe, disposed to use thot strenuth judicious irly, and for the best interests of the pariy. 2 of 2 prominent pesition in Chicuzo, 1 heard him say a day or two ago that, while the incumbent was not personall ive as he might be, yet e was so and eflicient that he did not fecl like I any change, fearing that the public service would not be promoted by a chanzze.” “Is there anything in the talk about Cabi- net changes 2" “*As to_ the Cabinet and_ its rumored changes. I know nothine, but believe tha now orgauized, the Cabinet is not a lo lived one. 1 don’t mean tosay by this that there will bean entire change in the C net. but I think some changes are inevitabie This ovinion I find to be nearly universal.” Som I do not Will the President’s nominations be con- firmed 27 “1 believe that 5 STANLEY MATIIEWS E will be confirmed. As to Mr. Chandler, the case is more doubtful. It is possible that he may encounter solid_Democratic opposition, notwithstanding which hg is an entirely fit man for the place, is a very able mau, a most earnest Republican, and an excellent Iawyer. As tothe Secretary of the Trensury, I hear nothing but the most favorable com- mentaries upon him, and the feelinzs of ais- contont towards the Administration, which was very apparent and very general when I eamg here, twwo weeks ao, nas been very mueh tessened during that time. The Presi- dent has doubtless . MADE SOME MISTAKES, and I am satistied that he thinks he has, but he isa broad, strong, fzir man, and he will correet his mistakes promptly, and our sal- cationis that he Is a high-hearred, clear- ed, fair-minded, man.

SECRETARY BLAINE MAKES A PEREMPTORY DEMAND. WasHINGTON, D, C., April 23.—Af ameeting of the Spanis| merican Commission at the State Department to-day, Mr. Durant, Coun- scl for the United States before the Comunis- sion, stated that he had been instructed by the Scerotary of State to request the umpire, Count Lewenhoupt, to recousider his recent decision in the Buzzi case, inasmuch as it concedes to the Spanish Government the right, in determining the question of Awmer- ican citizenshiv to go behind the naturaliza- tion papers, and require evidence to estab- lish the fact that the conditions required by our laws to entitle an alien to receive naturallzation papers as an American citizen had been fully complied with previous to graniing the certificate. Ile then read to the Commission r from Sceretary Blaine, giving him inslructions to that eifect, and Stated that hie should at once make s fornal of Couny Lewenhoupt to reconsider on. s tate Department Lolds that, in de- termining the question of citizenshiv, natu- ralization papers regularin form and duly issued by competent tributals shall be not only as prima facie, but as conclu: ' proot of the citizenship of a claimant.

Svectal Dispatek to The Chicags Tridure, PuiLADELPHIA: Pa., April 2.—A clow friend of Simon Cameron and of Secretary Biaine furnishes the press with the follow. ing statement as to the situationat Washing. ton, the relations between the President and Secretary Blaine, and the present dispo- sition of the Administration in the matter of the contested Federal appointments: It hay. ing been made manifest, after a careful re- view of the situation with the President, thy time has not changed his attitude, thatky still adheres to his original determinationfy relation to the nomination of Judge Rubert. son, William E. Chandler, and other contested appointments, all parties feel more inclined fy dispose of the questions at issue withous turther delay. ‘That their disposition will result in acontest between the President, Mr. Conkling, and the forces at his back with the Republican party CAN BE AUTHORITATIVELY STATED, and it will probably come soon after the cau- cusis held on Wednestlay, although there are a uwmber of the Republican Senators who say that some means will be devised at thut meeting to avert anything like a break in the solid Republican front. It is the general opinion that all parties will agree to simply dispose of the uncontested nominations, leaving the others to be disposed of atter the question 6f the organization of the Senate shall have been set._xl. . If it were not for the present attitude of the Demoerats, there is no ques- tion but the Republican Senate would ba more bitterly divided upon the pending nom- inations of Judge Robertson and William E. Chandler thai they were at any time over appointments made during Mr. Yayes™ ad- ration. - It can be stated on the hizhest authority that - it will be the policy of MMr. Conkling and the forces which he can commaud to test bis strengih with the President when- ever it can be done without dunger to the zepublican party in the Senate, and thas un~ til that tiiee comes THERE WILL BE NO ACTION WHATEVER upon these contested cases. There is also ample ground for the statement that it isnow the intention of this element of the party to put the President in the position of disturbing its present attitude in the Senate. It i3 this very knowledge which has led to the ecall for the caucus, as it i3 the President’s desire that whatever action is taken in relation to his appointments shall have the approval of - the majority of the Re- publican Senators, and that he shall not bs forced into the position of having a recog- nized friead of his vote with the Democrats to go into executive session, and thus crcats bad temper and possibly prevent the very'ob- jeet for which heis so anxious. Whether the caucus when it meets will be able to reconcile the existing differcnees of opinion will be seen after it is held, bug THE PREVAILING NOTION HERE is that there will be no difficulty in getting Mr. Conkling and lils friends to agree to the contirmation of most of the President’s ap- pointces. The present attitade. of both parties and the importance of the caucus to be held on Wednesday, naturally createa great. deal of talk here, and tne relations of Mr. Blaine to the President, and his re- sponsibility for the presentstate of affairs, are the feading topics. I am permitted to malke, upon the highest authority, the state- ment that the relations between the President and the Secretary of State were never closer. Mr. Biaine accepted the position he now occupies with some reluctance, and ant uatll lie and the Executive had had a full and fres understanding as to the general policy to be pursued toward the different elemen:s of the Republican pariy. He was npaturally anx- ious, says my informant, that he should un- derstand that that large element of the Re- publican party which. had supported him ag Chicago should be recognized in the distri- bution of the Federal patronage, and not merely tecognized, but some striking evl- dence given that it was an influential ele- ment of the Republican party. It was inthis spirit, and for this purpose, that the uunder- standing was reached, even before the Cab- inet was organized, that MP. CHANDLER should be Solicitor-General, whoever should preside over the Department of Justice. r. Chandler was informed of this fact, and rested easy in the assurance. 1fe informed the President, at the time, that it wos Lis wish that, .whoever should be elected as Attorneéy-General, should be informed of the President’s previous determination to make hiia the Solicitor-General. This the President failed to do, und hence the trou ble between it and Mr. MacVeagh., The President holds that the appoiutment of Mr- Chandler was within his province, and that there is no question of law or etiquet whiclk would tequire -him to yield his preferencd in o important a mtter to that of his { oficer. Mr. Blaine sustains the ident In this view. * Indeed.” says my distinguished :informang, M.
