WASHINGTON , May 10 1 a m.
The republican caucus woa in session
six hours , during -which the entire sit
uation was discussed , but no vote was
taken on any feature of it.
Immediately on convening of tlio
caucus a proposition was laid before
it , that no senators bo considered in
the executive session for positions al
ready filled when the terms of the in
cumbent had not expired. This
opened the field for discussion , and
some one recognizing the tendency of
the proiKisition suggested that it was
that all republican senators in the
building be present This re
ferred directly to Conkling who had
not seen fit not to attend the caucus ,
but was found in the room of the
committee on commerce , and caino at
once on being sent for.
There seemed to IMS a lack of speak
ers on this proposition , but the utmost
solicitude was expressed lest some of
Jie speeches be made public. Some
who desired to speak refused to do so ,
mless there was a strict understand
ing that no one would divulge either
: he names of the speakers or the sub
stance of their speeches. Hence
Jiere was an extra bond of secrecy es-
ablishcd. It is known , however , that
Senator Dawes made a speech in
which he introduced an idea of reluc-
ance to abandoning the right for the
election of senate officers.
The suggestion was made that per-
laps the substitution of other names
ror those of Gorham and Riddleberger
would help matters , but those present
exhibited the willingness to talk on
; liat subject. The strength of the de
bate was expended in the discussion
of the executive appointing power and
of the rules and usage of the senate in
like situation. No speeches were
nade by those in whom the most in-
.ercst centres in this contest , the dc-
> ate being principally by those whose
xiaitions had been made public here-
ofore.
The administration found ample de
nse in the discussion , it being
strongly urged that all the nominations
laving boon sent in in the best faith ,
hey should receive prompt attention.
The objections to Robertson , whose
nomination , of course , was made the
main issue in the discussion of the
> reposition , were plainly put by Sena-
or Conkling himself , who began to
peak soon after 5 o'clock. He spoke
calmly and "without making any vitu-
icrative personal "attack , claiming ,
However , the right for senators of any
state to have a voice in filling her im-
> ortantoffices. He admitted that his
ultimatum had Ijcen expressed to the
executive , but gave no indication of
rhat action his committee would take ,
lo reviewed the usages of the senate
and of the executive in such matters ,
ind detailed his objections to the ab-
Vbsolutely appointing power of the
president.
He sjKiko until half past six o'clock ,
nid opened the way for several replies.
tlio caucus , however , was tired with a
eng session and adjourned until to-
lay , when it is expected that Conk-
ing's objections will l > e met by the
administrotionists and a vote on the
> roxisition | will be reached.
The republican caucus was the sub-
ect of conversation"last night and a
conclusion was reached which is deemed
dike fortunate and nufortunate , as
me looks at it. As it stands the cau
cus is bound by the old rule permit-
ing two senators to defer action on
my nomination effecting their state ,
Tlio situation remains unchangedbut
t is alleged that the tenor of the cau
cus debate shows the defeat of this
ule and Robertson's consequent con-
irmation to bo inevitable.
Conkling's speech is also deemed by
some to have been for the purpose of
placing his position clearly Ixsfore the
party preparatory to submission to the
inevitable. Others think he still con
fides in Jiis strength to defeat Rob
inson in the senate and this confidence
is said to be based on his arguments
to the southern senators , to one of
whom he is reported to have said : "I
inticipate that within the next three
years , there will bo an utilising of the
people to resist -encroachments of
excutivc power. I , for one , intend
now to resist all such encroachments ,
no matter who is president.

A SIONIFIOANT NOTIFICATION
PAKIS , May 10 1 a. m. The
French minister of foreign affairs has
sent a formal letter to the porte warn
ing Turkey in emphatic terms'that tlie
dispatch of lui armed force by Turkey
to Tunis at present will be regarded : is
a case of war By the French , and that
immediate warlike measures against
Turkey on the part of the French will
bo the consequence. No reply from
the porte to this notification has yet
been received.
VIENNA'S WEPDIXC. FEAST.
VIENNA , May 10 1 a. m. The
weather was not favorable for the
grand parade attending the public en
trance of Princess Stcphani into this
city. The sky was overcast and heavy
showers of rain fell at intervals , great
ly to the discomfortnro of the vast
crowds who lined the streets and fdled
the balconies. At the appointed hour ,
however , the queen of .Belgium , ac
companying her daughter , Princess
Stephani , entered the city by a desig
nated curtain carriage drawn by six
splendid horses and escorted by a bril
liant detachment of the imperial
guard. A double file of troops lined
the streets through which the proces
sion passed and kept clear the roadway.
The princess looked charming. She
was somewhat pale and agitated , but
at times when the enthusiastic shouts
of the people readied her ears her
cheeks Hushed and she smiled very
happily. The enthusiasm of the pop
ulace was unmistakable. The cortege
crossed Elizabeth street bridge in order
to reach where the formal addresses
by the burgomaster and other digni
taries could be presented.
TUB SOCIALIST TUOLT.LE-S.
VIENNA , Map 20 1 a. m. The
Polish papers report the arrest of nu
merous Nihilists in Bresthesak , Scit-
mare Villna and other places in
the provinces of P.ulola and Volhug-
nie , where these revolutionists have
been found very busy of late. Out of
eight persons arrested at Villa , two
were female socialists.
Anonymous English postal cards
bearing warning and threats have been
received by a number of the Austrian
railway station masters lately , but it is
believed the whole ail'air , if not a hoax ,
is hardly more serious.
The Presso states that not long af
ter the assassination of the czar Sta
tion Master Breslau received acry
distinct warning that the death of the
princess , Bismarck and several mem
bers of the imperial family had been
decreed by a certain secret society in
Germany. The iron chancellor , not
withstanding his workmen's insurance
bill , appears to have enjoyed the es
pecial disfavor of this anonymous con
federacy , his death by hanging having
) cen decided on.
The authorities endeavored to asCertain -
Certain the author of these threaton-
ng epistles , and they have succeeded
n finding him in the person of a me
chanic employed in the workshops of
he Austrian Central railway. The
wlice have arrested him , and a public
Tosecution is about being commenced
igainst "him. From what can be
earned , however , it is thought that
he man would be a fitter inmate of a
unatic asylum than of a prison.
COOL MINNESOTA.
The Drifts Open and She
Reaches Daylight
Again.
Nebraska and "Cool Minnesota'
are again neighbors , the Sioux City it
Pacific and the Sioux City & St. Paul
railroad ? ] being open from Omaha to
Sioux City and St. Paul. Minnesota
enters upon the summer of 1881 with
unusual advantages to tourist , who are
n search of cool weather , for in addi
tion to her usually delightful climate
nature has stored away during the
past winter among her hills and around
icr lakes a quantity of snow and ice
which will hardly disappear before the
niddlc of July.
The fishing at Minnetonka and the
other superb lakes is said to bo better
this year than ever and sportsmen arc
already whipping the clear waters foi
pickerel and bass.
Many Nebraska people have already
declared their intention to spend tin ,
heated term in Minnesota , but there
is no danger that the new and beauti
ful hotels springing up every yeai
along the lakes will have more guests
than they can accotnmodate.
Maj. O'Bryan , the agent of theSioux
City lines , which take passenger :
through from Omaha to St. Paul in t
few hours , can be addressed at Coun
cil Blufls for infoimation regardin
Minnesota hotel accommodations 'im
