Republican Senators Unable to Agree on a Line of Action. HOLD AH DTTOBMAL CONFERENCE. About Twenty Speeches Made, but Each Senator Advised a Different Manner of Proceeding: Committee Investigating Armor Plate TJuion Pacific Reorganiza tion Sill Introduced In the House. 1 Washington, May 15. The Republic an members of the senate were in caucus at Senator Sherman's residence from 8 o'clock until 11:30 Monday night. The caucus partook more of the nature of an informal conference than a business meeting, and while it was called with the purpose of arriving at a conclusion as to the method to be pursued by the Republican party in the senate, it closed without eliciting anything in the way of a party declaration. There was no vote on any proposition whatever, and the proceedings consisted of a large number of speeches. There were about 25 of the 37 Repub lican senators present and everyone had something to say in the course of the evening. There was great divergence in views. Of course, the accounts of the meeting agree that while there were probably 20 speeches, most of them of course brief, no two of them were on the same line, or advised the same manner of proceeding. There was no agreement except upon the one point, that the bill should be beaten if possible. On general lines the greetest divergence of opinion was on the ability of the Republicans to beat the bill at all, and while there was no formal division which would permit of counting, the caucus appeared to le alnmt evenly divided in sentiment on this question. A statement that eastern senators were favorable to a continuance of the opposi tion on the lines which are now being observed and that western senators are opposed to any effort to secure delay, for delay's sake, would be in a general way correct, but there were exceptions on both sides. Contend the Dill Could De Defeated. Senators Aldrich. Chandler and Frye and others contended that the bill could be defeated, and said all that was neces sary to demonstrate the correctness of this assertion was to give the Democrats time to widen the breach, which they as serted now exists. Some of them declare four or five Democratic votes could be counted on as opposed to the bill, while one of those present went so far as to say he was assured of the opposition of at least seven Democrats. No names of Democratic senators were given, how ever. The opposition element contended there was no positive assurance of any Democratic support in opposition to the bill and that the only means of testing the truth of the rumors of Democratic dissatisfaction was to let the voting goon. There was much talk as the general dennits and inconsistences of the bill and some of the silver senators did not fail to call attention to the lack of sym pathy which had leen displa3'ed by the Republicans when the silver repeal was up last fall and to intimate they had no desire at this time to heap coals of fire on the heads of that element in the party at this time by doing kindness in return for what they termed inconsideration. There was also an exchange of views on the poli of the Republicans voting for the Democratic amendments to the bill, but the only agreement reached up on this point was to allow for the pres ent individual Republican senators to act in accordance with their own incli nations. MUST PAY THE FULL AMOUNT. Settlement Made by a .Sealing Company With Windom anil Foster Is Illegal. Washington, May 15. Attorney Gen eral Olney has rendered an opinion in which he holds the settlement made by Secretaries Windom and Foster with the North American Commercial company, by which the government for the years 1890, 1K91 and 1892 received a less rental both as to the tonus and the rental per skin than was originally agreed upon, was illegal and therefore is not binding upon the present secretary. This re duced rental and tax was accepted be cause the company had not been per mitted to take the full number of skins ordinarily specified in the lease as a limit. In vfew of this decision the sec retary has made a formal demand upon the company for the full amount of rent per skin and tax for the year 1S9; and has referred to the attorney general for such action as he may deem advisable in the matter of collecting from the com pany the full amount due for the pre vious years. The whole amount claimed to be due the government is alxmt 320, 000 of which 132,000 is on account of the S893 catch. Investigating; Armor Plate fraud. Washington, May 15.

The commonweal ers who took Pinkham's train are now coming eaBt. Troops have been called for and the entire army will be arrested. The greatest excitement prevailed at Montpeilier, many of the citizens sym pathizing with the commonwealers, among them Constable Dick Williams, who was arrested. The commonwealers attempted to release him. but were cowed by three dozen Winchesters in the hands of deputies. A public meeting of the citizens was held to confer with the opposing forces, but the marshals could do nothing, as their duty was im perative. TROOPS TO ASSIST THE MARSHALS. Commanders In the Northwest Instructed to Arrest Industrial Armies. Washington, May 15. Reports of a disquieting nature were received Mon day by Attorney General Olney respect ing the lawless acts of various "armies" of Coxeyites in the west in seizing trains and interfering with the mails. The attorney general consulted the secretary of war and it was decided to adhere to the line of policy pursued the last week. While general instructions had been sent to the military commanders in the troubled districts to give all lawful and necessary assistance to the officers of the United States courts in repressing these outrages, it was felt proper to send specific instructions to General Otis at Vancouver barracks and to General Brooke, commanding the department of the Platte, to take active steps to hold off the marauders in their districts, act ing, of course, as auxiliary to the United States marshals. Request For Troops Denied. Muskogee. I. T., May 15.

CENSURE THE COLONEL Large Anti-Breckinridge Meet ing Held at Lexington. BTBOJKx RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. Senatot Dlackbnru Asked to Come Dome and jeak Asaiust the Silver Tongued Congressman Women of Lexington Pro test Against His Denomination Believe It Would Be a Disgrace to Kentucky. Lexington, Ky., May 15. The be3t people of Lexington and Fayette county, including several hundred -ladies, turned out Monday to the anti-Breckiuridge meeting at the opera house. The meet ing, from a standpoint of morality, was a tremendous success. The opera house was filled and 5'tO people were turned away. Professor J. W. McGar vey, an eminent minister of the Christian church, wa3 the first speaker, and he showed Colonel Breckinridge up in no favorable light. Ho held that it would be a disgrace to th.3 district, to the state and to the country io return such a man to congress, ami closed his speech by a strong appeal to the young men to vote against him. The other peaker was Judge M. J. Durham, who denied Colonel Breckin ridge was the only man in the district who can represent it in congress. The speeches were loth well received and made a good impression. The Audiencs Went Wild. Resolutions were adopted denouncing Brecldnridge's morals and calling on the good people of the district to rise up in their might and vote against the saver- tongued persuader. But when Henry C. Clay got up and offered a resolution not only denouncing his morals,but asking that Senator J. S. Blackburn be asked to obtain leave of absence from the senate and come home and from tho rostrum speak against Breckinridge, the audi - ence went wild. The cheering was deaf - ening. and it was plain to anv observer that the Breckinridge Ixhmu started bv the silver-tougtied orator himself a little more than a week ago was badly strained, if not broken. The following are the resolutions adopted by the women: Whereas. W. C. P. Bre.-kinridge has announced himself ;m a oaiiditiaU' for re election to congresM from Aslilaiul dis trict, notwithstanding his confession un der oath of II, tyrant and habitual licenti ousness and hypocriey, therefore, ha it resolved First That we, women of Lexington aud Fayette county. Kentucky, do solemnly protest against his nomination as the representative of this district. Second We helieve that such an in dorsement of V. C. P. Breckinridge at the polls would be a disgrace to Ken tucky, a shame upon manhood and an in sult to womanhood, a sinful example to youth and a menace to both .society and the home. Third We earnestly implore our fathers, husbands and brothers to wipe out the stain that W. C. P. Breckinridge has brought on the fair fame of the Ash land district. The resolutions also passed by the men are similar and they adopted ona recom mending the calling of such meetings by ladies in every county in the state. SENATOR TELLER NOT HOPEFUL.

Senator Teller, in a letter to a citizen of this city, expresses sympathy for the Coxey army now in Washington anil declares the arrest and trial of Coxey, Browne and Jones was a a farce, and concludes as follows: "It is difficult to know what to do with these people, who are here in dis tress through no fault of theirs. They know that there is something wrong somewhere and that there ought to le a remedy, aud can think of no other ex cept what congress can give. I myself believe the present dreadful condition of our laboring and producing people is the direct and immediate result of bad legis lation already on our statute books, and other that is threatened, but 1 have no hope of immediate legislation that will give the rtquired relief. What will happen in the near future. I cannot see and believe for my peace of mind it is well I cannot." Taylor Brothers Lorated. La Plata, Mo., May 15.
