C., April 30. 1 Caucus Counittee, or 7 beld ‘The Re- Committee of Safet; meeting to-day. - Greatin- terest Is manifested in its dellberations. The uiemvers ‘are reticent. The Committee has full powers, as the organ of the Republican cauens, to consider all watters relating to the present stiuarion. It has power to say when it will be expedient to hold executive ons, und direct what the order of busi- in tnese sesslons will he. Itis author- ifed to eonsult with the President in regard 10 pending nowlnations, and to express to him the Senatorial view of the effect of cer- ain nowinations upon the prospects of the Republican party, and it is emvowered to take into couslderation THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN VIRGINIA, and to confer with President Garlfleld and the members of his Administrazion In rela- tion thereto. There Is reason to believe, in regard to the first branch of the Cownmittee’s work, that it has alrcady deen virtually de- termined that an executive session shall be held early next week, perhaps Tuesday, and ded as probable that the business lirst transacted, nside from referring to the appropriate Committees the nominations now upon the Vice-President’s table, will be the conslderation vf the Chinesetreaties. When the treaties were first published an effort was wade to create a seuthment of opposition to them, and there appeared to be ‘a prespeet that the Pacific Coust Senators would all publie vigorously oppose them. Now, however, it is unuerstood that all those Senutors are strongly in favor of the treaties, whiol, 1t.is- expected, will bs promptly ratitied. THE SECOND BRANCH of the Comunittee’s work i3 of a véry delicate nature. Itis w visic the President with re- ard to the nowminations that have been made. “There is at least one precedent for the call. A Caucus Committee of Republican Senators walted upon Gen. Grant, and ad- vised bhim that, unless the nowmnation of Caleb Cushing w be Chief Justice shoulu be withdrawn, dangerous dissensions would arise in the Republican ranks. Some’ mem- bers of the Comuulitee have called upon President Gartield. It isnot understood that they have requested ‘him to withdraw any nominations, vut they have explained to hiw the course which the Republican caucus uad decided to vursue, and have given their reasons for lt. It Is understood, also, that the Caucus Committee hasdecided that, after disposing of the Chinese treaties in executive session, - THE NEXT MATTER that witl be considered will bs the nomina- tion of William E. Chandler, and, in' the in- tervals of the sessions, uncontested appoint- ments, like that of Hitt as Assistant Secre- tury of State, way be considered. The pros- peets of the confirmation of Mr. Chandler and of Stanley Matthews are both doudtful. The prospeets us to the inal acdon of the Senate in the Robertson case no longer seew douot~ ful The indications are to-day most decid- edly that Judie Rovertson will be defeated by a very consideradle myjority. Mo will huve nearly the united Dzmocratic vote against him, and the larger portionof the R e- publican vote. WASH MWLEAYN, 5 peaking for the Democrats to-night, sald Robertson will -surely be defeated. Mr. Cunkling is said to be ansious to have the case taken up at the earliest vossible wo- ment, as e 13 contident that lie can now de- feat it, while he does not know what events might arise to make his success less certain in December. Moreover, Mr. Conkling i3 understood to be desireus to have the nomi- nation discussed in open sesston, or, at least, he desires to speak upon the merits of it in open session. 1t is not so certain that he can carry his polat in that respect, as it would be a revolutionary - change in the traditional procedure of the Senate. ‘A GENTLEMAN XEAR TO ME. CONELING sald to-day that Mr. Conkling was anxious to malke his speech upou the Roberison ques- tion whore the world could hear it. and also that he was convineed that Conkling would not set foot in the White House again during this Adminis.ration. He seoms to have chosen to lot his relations to the Administra-" tion' be broken upon tne rock of pat- ronage. He ‘is certainly strengthening every day the obligations between Sen- ators known as *Senatorial courtesy.” ‘The contest In _the Seuate Is - driving the Governwment each day further from the purposes of its founders, and it Conkling shall win, as seems probable, the result may bé that, for four years at least, there will be thirty-eight Presidents of the United States instead of one. However, there are ditfer- ences of opinion as to the chduces 0f Robert- son, One Republican Senator whoearnestly “made by the Pust-Gilice. suypports lum, sald to-day: “If his ease cumes before the Senate, I think he'will be confitmed.

WasmingToy, April 30.—Curious chapters in the star-route business are being alwost daily discovered. A new one has been found in which an indicted whisky distiller and delinguent contractor had bis star-route contract ‘“*expedited” by Assistant-Post- master General Brady. The contractor was John A.” Walsh, one of the most suceessful of the star-route men, said to be wortls inore than $500,600. Tihe -coniract for the route trom Prescott to Santa Fé was otiginally 818,000. Itwas *‘expedited” until, at last. the Government d 81,360,700 a year for it This was done in the statement of Walsh himself, that more horses, und coacbes, and men were necessary. The fol- lowlng extruct from the testimony of . GEN. BRADY HIMSELF shows that he mude this * expedition” and in- crease of tripson Walsh's own exparte state- went, and without turther luvestigation. The question Is put to Mr. Brady: Q—D.d you bave anything on which to predi- cate your ucdun in alfowuyy hat FE.500 addi- fiunnl pay except Mr. Walsu's owo statement?

It was not for him, he suid, to make any publicdefense. and be should publish nothug except what the Post-Oflice Department wight furaish. POSTMASTEE-GENERAL JTAMES, in’s tafk since his return from New York, has said that he assunes the responsibility for the star-route investigation, uud does not seek to nold the President responsible for it. Gen. Gur- field, however, be says, fully approves of all steps that huve becu laken, altuough he is not fully informed a3 to the details. The President bas simply given u gencral order to investigate and - ouke all necessary reforms, Wwithout ‘rexard to tho elfect of the investga- tion upon uny individual.
