"Xhe senator is in earnest. Ho did

lie has been arriving atliis determination -

to seek the same kind of vindication

Conkling means to do the same , and
he will not be returned. I have been

SENATORS OX THE SITUATION. !
WAMIINOTON , D. C. , ' May 17 10
J ) . . in.- The gossips who yesterday
spent their force -wondering what the
resignation of Conkling * nd Platt
might mean , to-day 'find plenty " of
comments.
Senator Ben Hill said this morning
the letter was certainly carefully writ
ten , and doubtless was a fair statement
uf the writer's views. The democrats
had no right to judge of the correct
ness of any republican views from their
own standpoint and Senator Hill has
therefore refused to say anything
more.
Senator Groom said : "Life is too
nhort to read the letter BO early in the
day. He had read enough of it to
show him that Oonkling's views "had
been pretty well exprcsscdin-the press
u during the fight-mid he , couldn't see
'iat more there was to fcnyiluit hadn't
ficcn "said 'over and' over again. * "Hd
believed , how ever , the New York sen
ators had acted conscientiously.
An ex-member of congress said to
day : "I never .would have be
lieved Conkling would knuckle to
Blaine. I have read the letter through
and it is an evasipn af the . - issueat
Uikc. It is certain that an influen
tial cabinet officer made his influence
where it would be most appreciated. "
Senator Cameron , of Wisconsin ,
deeply ' egrels the breach between tho.
New York seilalors Snot-the adminis
tration,4 but "Hoes not lipweverj think
it can endanger the future of the""ro-
"jmblican party.
' Senator "Van Wyck says : "It is
only a passing breezc'iind-will soon"be
forgotten. "
Senator Vest , of Missouri , said :
"I have no time to shed tears over n
row in the republican , camp.
Senator PkttJias returned to New
York , but"Sebator Conkling remains
here. Ho refuses to see any report
ers , but sends word down that his in
terview can bo found in full in the
morning papers. * j
Senutor Burneido , after he had read
the Conkling letter , said : "There was
nothing new in it. It was a weak de
fense of a bad position. Senator
Conkling had made a great mistake in
deserting his ] > arty. There was no
call for it , and some of his bcstficnds ;
saw the blunder. It seemed to the
speaker that jj.tho remarkable occur
rence of the extra session showed some
1 great corruption in politics.
I THE SENSATION OF THE HOCK.
WASHINGTON May 18-la. m.
The Conkling-Platt resignation is
still the topic of the hour , and appar
ently wiil be indefinitely. On all
sides are heard deprecation of the
course of thojJNew ; York Senators.
The publication of their letter of ex-
-.planation seems to hay e made no dif
ference in public opinion. Here in
Washington , only the acknowledged
warm personal friends of Conkling
look with favor on his action , and
even some of these people prefer si
lence to an expression of candid opin
ion , while others , who have stood by
him through thick and thin , do not
hesitate to openly condemn liis course.
The hardest cut of all comes from his
committee that on commerce. At
the meeting yesterday morning all the
members were present except the
chairman , whose 'place was assumed
by Senator McMillan , of Minnesota.
In his earlier hopes of support in his
committee Conkling counted Jones ,
of Nevada , McMillan , Farley and
Ransom , as his friends. On their
votes and his own he relied for an ad
verse report on Robertson's nomina
tion. When the vote was taken in the
committee to-day there was only one
vote in opposition to a favorable rec
ommendation and that was cast by
Senator Jones , of Nevada. Mr.Mc-
Millen's reasons for desiring a favora
ble report , it lias .been .suggested , may
have sprung from the discovery of
Conkling's forlorn hope and desire -to \
be on the winning side. At any rate
ho presented the committee report to
the senate.
Vice-President Arthur was in the
chair at the time Jones interposed an
objection to the present consideration
of the report , and under the rule it
went over time. At the same time the
committee' reported favorably on the
nomination of General Merritt as con
sul general of the United States at
London , afidTon General Badeau as
consul generalfof the tlnitcdStates at
Copenhagen. Mr. Jones' objection
extended to these nominations also.
The only other feature of the execu
tive session will bo a session bearing
on the political situation. There was
nn effort made to pass a resolution for
removing the injunctions ofserecy
from the sen-tors JD Jegard to the
debate on the confirmation" Judge
3Iatthews. This resolution was dis
cussed at length but failed' to pass.
PrcsiderifXJarfield'and all'the mem
bers of the cabinet refuse to be inter
viewed on the political situation. , _
THE PRESIDENT'S COUBS&GEXEKALLV AP-
The president continues to receive
a large numb"ertif letters approving
his course. Soon , after the cabinet
adjourned it was announced that there
was perfect harmony among the mem
bers , and they were united in the
support of the president.
ROBERTSON TO BE CONFIRMED TO-DAY.
Senator McMillan , acting chairman
ot the' commerce committee , stated
that ho know no rcson why a Vote on
the Robertson confirmation should not
tc taken to-day : tf tnb'Jg'ht the sen

MRS. GARFIELD'h CONDITION.
Mrs. Garfield's condition was more

paratively comfortable day , and the

would have a good night's rest. The
favorable change ill the weather
proved very beneficial.

OOV. f OSIER IN NEW YORK.
.NEW YoRfc , May 18 1 a. m. - Gov.
Foster , of Ohio , arrived in this city
Monday night from Washington. At
10 o'clock j'esterday morning he held
an informal levee of anxious inquirers
in his room , after which he tried to
escppe by the Twenty-fourth street
entrance , but was pinned by * Gen.
Rice , and led back in triumph into
the corridor. There he held another
inquiry meeting , at winch Postmaster
Pearson , Marshall" Jewell , D wight
Lawrence , Geo. Bliss , ex-Judge Dit-
tenlioef er and a large number of oth
ers were present , anxious to hear from
the front. The Irian from Ohio , was
not committal , however , unless token
unawares. The governor said , in an
swer to the query of how great a sur
prise Conkling's action was to the
president : "Senator Platt told me
last Saturday , in Washington , that he
intended to resign , ami that his inten
tion was formed last Thursday , and
that he stated the fact both to the
president and Coukling. Conkling's
iction was not entirely a surprise to
the president and his advisers when
Platt communicated his intention. As
twenty-six out of thirty-seven repub
licans had signified their intention of
voting to confirm Robertson , lie
[ Conkling ) saw tliat.thc game was up ,
md confidentially declared his inten-
'
; ion of resigning with'Platt. " - .
* "Have the rumors that the relations
Between the two senators from New
York were unfriendly , any founda
tion ? "
"It appears , " answered Gov. Fos
ter , "that both Gov. Cornell and Sen
ator Platt had decided to support
Sobertsun , because they thought such
a course would harmonize the discord
ant clement in New York. When
Conkling , however , learned of the
nomination and their determination ,
iio was so indignant that they were
compelled to withhold their consent. "
r ' . 'Is there any 'possibility of thejcs-
ignation-pf cither Arthur or James ? "
"Jn myjudgment , Mr. Colliding
alone is responsible for this action and
'
will stand'OTfairby' its result. "
"Don't you think jt will be a fall1 ?
"On that question I am not prepar
ed to express an opinion , but of this
you can be certain that Robertson's
lame will not bo withdrawn , unless at
: iis own request. As jfar .as JLU effusi
on thff"'president is concerned , this
strike of Conkling's will fall very
flat. "
The Governor said in parting that
3onkling had asked asapersonal favor
that Platt would allow his colleague's
resignation to be read first to the sen
ate. '
MARFHAU. JEWELL TALKS.
Hon. Marshall Jewell , of Hartford ,
was leaning against a pillar in the corridor
rider of thp Fifth Avenue hotel , try
ing to litjht A cigar in a draught of
wind , when a reporter asked him what
Conkling's resignation meant.
" 1 don't know , " said he , as he
struck another match and whisked a
stray lock of hair out of his eyes. "It
is a surprise to everybody. Big chan
ces to take , very big ; but Conkling
does nothing b } ' halves. "
"Do you tliink it will worry the
president ? "
"Not enough to lose him any sleep
I don't think it will have the effcst
Conkling expected. Of course it means
an endorsement by the .legislature ,
but that is really all that will be gain
ed. "
"Will it affect Mr. Robertson's
chances1 ?
"I don't think so. It would seem
that ho will not withdraw Robertson's
name under any circumstances.
ONLY ONE ENDORSEMENT FOR CONKLING.
ALBANY , May 18 1 a. in. The
republican general committee met last
night. The meeting was the largest
ever held and the utmost enthusiasm
prevailed. Hon. Andrew A. Draper
was elected president. Resolutions
endorsing the action of Senators
Conkling and Platt were unanimously
adopted , and copies were ordered pub
lished in all the city papers and sent
to President Garfield. The following
are the resolutions adopted by the re
publican general committee of Albany
county :
Resolved , That we Jdeeply deplore
the course recently pursued by the
president in attempting to force the
senate of the United States to ap
prove of the nomination of William
H. Robertson to bo collector .of thee
port of Now York , when no vacancy
exists in said office , and without other
cause than fo" pay a personal political
obligation , which.obligation was cre
ated through the treachery of said
nominee to the regular republican
organization in the state , and that wo
earnestly and confidently express the
hope that the legislature of the state
of New York will promptly stamp its
condemnation upon the act by reelecting
ing Senntors Conkling and Platt to
the positions they have felt called
upon to resign in the senate.

THE HERALD.
National Associated Press. . .
NEW YORK , May 16 10 p. in.-
The Herald says to-day : "The truth
is from the beginning Garficld has
committed himself irrevocably to
Blaine , and in his dealings with Conk
ling and his followers has followed a
pohcy of duplicity. Garfield may yet
retrieve himself. Conkling resigns in
the interest of peace. In the inter
est of peace let Blaine retire from the
state department , and let the other
cabinet * officers all Avithout specia'
force or Value be quartered elsewhere. '
\j THE SUN.
The Sun says : "After four years ol
conflict with one republican adminis
tration which he despised , Conkling
finds another four years of similar con
flict forced upon him by another re
publican administration which he es
pecially elected , and which he is ako
compelled to despise. Such a conflict ,
if pursued , can only destroy the re
publican , party , and for a catastrophe
so great ho is not willing in any de
gree to "bo responsible. "
THE TRIBUNE.
5 Tlib Tribune says it is a thcatrica
exit like that of a" French lover who
jsras continuallv quarreling with lia
mistresa and leaving the house vowing
never to return , but always leavini
his umbrella , in order to have an ex
cuse to get back. They don't me n to
leave the senate. Neither has given
up his lodgings. The farce at Wash
ington wPl be completed by the farce
at Albany. Conkling demands to bo
tried by a jury of his sisters , his
cousins a-1 his aunts. What Would
Conklln " * . 3 friends hav.0 s > i4 if Blaine
Had tun"9d tile cdriWol of tno United
States senate over to the democrats
because the nomination for collector
at Portland did not suit liim.
THE STAR.
The Star says Conkling resigned
and dragged Platt out with him. For
no other reason than because he is not
allowed to bo boss of New York and
distribute patronage , he lias betrayed
his party by handing over the major
ity of the senate to the democrats.
We search history in vain for any
precedent for Conkling'a course.
CONKLING'S ' BROTHER INTERVIEWED.
NEW YORK , May 17 10 p. in.
Frederick A. Conkling , brother of
Senator Conkling , in an interview to
day stated that the legislature will re
fuse to return Senators Conkling and
Platt to the senate.
"A careful canvass of the assembly
convinces me , " Bald Mr. Conkling ,
"tliat tile anti-Grant republicans will
refuse to go into caucus and will com
bine against the caucus nominee.
There are seven democrats and twen
ty-five republicans in the state senate.
Fourteen of the republicans will refuse
to go into caucus. In the house there
are forty-six democrats , one indepen
dent and eighty-one republicans. A
majority of these are from New York
city , and they will atay out of the cau
cus. The caucus nominees Conkling
and PJatt will be defeated , the anti-
Srant republicans will combine with
the democrats and elect to Conkling
and Plait's places an independent re
publican and a democrat. , I am con
vinced this will bo the result. "

WHEREAS , The auditor of railroad
accounts in a letter dated February 14 ,
1381 , and transmitted by the secre-
siry of the interior to congress on
February 15 , 1881 , sets forJi that
while the amount of 5 per cent earn
ings of the Union Pacific railroad lias
teadily increased ; and
WHERE. ' s , In this same connection
it is also set forth it is owing partly
to the fact that the CentralPacific hrs
diverted the business from subsidized
roads to leased lines , which leased
lir.es are principally owned by owners
of the Central Pacific who are paid
high rentals therefore , and as the
commissioner of railroad accounts
recommends the secretary of the in
terior concurs in this recommenda
tion , to wit : That the sinking fund
law of May 7,1878 , be changed so .far
as rebates to the amountrequircd from
the Central Pacific , so that 50 per cent
of the net earnings of that company
may be applied to the payment of the
debt , .instead of 25 per cent , as the
law is ; therefore be it
Resolved , That-tho committee on
judiciary of the senate be directed to
inquire into all these matters , and
particularly touching the relations of
the Central Pacific road to its leased
lines and other corporations , and es
pecially those lines and corporations
in which itsstockholdersare interested ,
and report to the senate at its next
regular session what , in Hhcir judg
ment , is proper and necessary to
most effectually protect the interests
of the United States.
Mr. Morgan offered a resolution ,
wliich was ordered printed , instructing
the committee on public lands to take
into consideration the condition of the'
general land office in regard to the

the senate.
The senate at 4:15 adjourned till

PROPOSED TO DISPlADE THEM AIL
not fdr any alleged faults or for any
alleged need or advantage o ! public
service , but in order to give the great
office of collector of the port of New
York to Win. H. Eobertson as a re
ward of certain acts of his , said to
have aided in making the nomination
of Gen. Garficld possible. The chain
of removals thus proposed , was broken
by Gon. Badeau's promptly declining to
accept the now place to whioh he waste
to be sent. These nominations
summoned every member of the
senate to say whether he advised
such transaction. The movement
was more than a surprise. We had
been told only a few lldura before tiiat
no removals in New York officers were
soon to be made or oven considered ,
andliad been requested to withhold
papers and suggestions bearing on the
subject , which had been sent to the
Uniled States senate for presentation ,
should occasion arise , until we had
noiice from the president of his readi
ness to receive them. Learning that
the vice president was equally sur
prised and had been equally misled , we
wont to a cabinet oificer from our
stale and learned that though he had
spent some time with the president
the morning of the day the
nominations wcr < ; sent in ,
NO WfjCLO.sURB OF INTENTION
to send them had been made to him ,
and that the first 3io knew of the mat
ter was by hearsay. Following events ,
pftcr earnest reflection and considera
tion , we believed to bo unwise and
wrong , whether considered wholly in
relation to the preservation miff Integ
rity of the republican party. No. pub
lic utterances of comment or censure
was made by either of us in the senate
or elsewhere. On the contrary we
thought that the president would re
consider the action 30 sudden andhasty
and would at least adopt less hurtful
and objectionable modes of requitting
personal or individual service. In
this hope the following paper was pre
pared , and presented by Mr. James
to the president , who Was subsequent
ly informed that you had authorized
your name to be added also :
To the President :
We beg leave to remonstrate againsb
a change in the collectorship at New
York by the removal of Mr. Morritt
and the appointment of Mr. Rober.-
um. The proposal was wholly a sur
prise. We heard of it only when sev
eral nomination involved in the plan
vas announced in the senate. We
had only two days before this been in
formed from you that a change in the
custom officers in New York was no *
templated , and quite ignorant
o : the purpose to take any
ction now , we had no opportun"y
until after the nom nations to ma 2
suggestions we now present. We i >
not believe that the interests of t" '
public service will be promoted by re-
iiovin * the present collector and put
ting Mr. Bobertson in his stead. Our
opinion is quite the reverse , and we
believe no political advantage can be
jained for either the republican party
jr its principles. Believing that no
individual has claims or obligations
which should be liquidated in such
mode , we ask that the nomination o"
Mr. Eobertson be withdrawn.

This paper was presented to the
president by Mr. James on Monday ,
the 27th day of March. Knowing the
frequency with which every one of the
twenty presidents of this republic , and
markedly the present incumbent , had
withdrawn nominations on less 'ieri-
ous representations , we did not appre
hend that such such suggestion would
be treated as an intrusion on any pre
rogative of the nominating power.
We were disappointed immediately.
The public press especially in articles
and dispatches , written by those in
close and constant association with
the president , and with influential
members of his cabinet , teemed witli
violent denunciations of the senators
from New York , for "reproving the
administration , " and dictating to the
president. Persons who visited the
executive mansion reported the presi
dent as resentful and impatient of the
hesitation to "advise and consent" to
what ho proposed. We had made no
assault upon anybody. We have at
all times refused to answer questions
by representatives of the press or make
COMPLAINT OR COMMENT.
or even the denial of the many truth
less charges published against us by
various champions of "the administra
tion. " Indeed , beyond confidential
consultations with brother senators
and officials , we have said notliing un
til now on the subject , or liave we , or
either of us , "promoted the deal-lock
in the senate , " in order to prevent or
influence action on any nomination.
Nor have we ever so stated. Imme
diately after the nominations were
published letters and telegrams in
great numbers came from every part
of the state , from the leading citizens ,
protesting against the proposed
4 changes , and condemning them only
on the grounds that several thousand
of the leading mercantile firms of
New York constituting , we are im-
formed a majority of every
branch of trade , sent us a remon
strance ; sixty of the cighty-
o.ie republican members of the assem
bly , by letter or memorial made ob
jections ; representatives in congress ,
state officials , business men , profes
sional men , commercial , industrial and
political organizations are among the
remonstrants , and they speak from
every section of the state. Besides
the nominations already referred to

A LUNATIC LOOSE ,
The Murderer of Cherry Hotly
Pursued by Soldiers and
Indians ,
Burial of the Brave Lieutenant
"Hag's Ranch" Burned
Down by the Proprietor.
A Hunt for the Highwaymen.
Correspondence of THE BEX.
FORT NIOBRARA , NEB. , May 12.
Lieutenant Cherry's remains were
brought into the Fort this morning
and will be buried to-morrow. He
was shot by one of his own men
named Locke , who , in a fit of tern *
porary insanity , pulled his revolver
and shot at Conroy , riding beside him ,
but'missed. " Lieut. Cherry turned
around and inquired what the trouble
was. Locke then | claimed that
his revolver went oft'accidentally. .
Lieut. Cherry thought no more
about it and rode ahead. Locke then
rode up beside him and shot him
through the left side , the ball passing
through the left arm into the heart ,
killing him instantly. Locke then
turned and fired at Conroy the second
end timtj , the ball striking him in the
right side , merely inflicting a flesh
wound. The mi1derer then fled and
is at largo yet , but being hotly pur
sued by soldiers and Sioux
Indians who have joined in
the chase. A detachment com
manded by Captain Montgomery
and Lieut. Macomb will start to Rose
bud agency to-morrow , and will there
get some Indians and proceed on to
Ft. Pierre and the Black Hills. The
robbers and murderer have got such a
start that it will bo difficult to "over
take them , but it will not bo because
it was not tried.
There is some talk that the company
of Lieut. Cherry will ofier a reward
for the body of the murderer. Lieut.
Cherry lias many friends wherever he
was and nothing will bo too easy for
the foul murderer when caught , as he
would never see n trial in this post.
The proprietor of the Hag ranche
set fire to it to-day , and it will soon
be no more. If he had done it some
months ago a noble life would Lave
been saved.
This makes in all three men who
have been killed in the last ten
months , two of them in the last sixty
days. Two have been wounded. Moro
trouble is apprehended before this is
settled satisfactorily.
It is thought that the robbers first
intended to try the Sutler store as one
of them was heard iniiuiring of two
clerks if "they intended going out
that night , " and when told they were
not concluded not to risk it as there
arc four men in the store and all well
armed and prepared for an attack of
that kind. NICKLEBY.

WILLIAM URLAU.
His Funeral Yesterday Re
covery of the $500 Draft.
The funeral of Mr. William Urlau
took place yesterday evening from the
residence on Douglas , near Eleventh
street. The remains were conveyed
to Prospect Hill cemetery where the
Rev. .Tas. Patterson conducted the
burial service at the grave. A largo
number of people attended to the
grave , and before departing Mr.
acob Houck , an old time friend of
; he deceased delivered a short eulogy
m the life and character of the dead
man.
man.The pall bearers were Messrs. F. Stu-
bendorf , H. Nester , John Baumer ,
! eone Schmidt , F. Lang , William
Scgelko , J.Richard and August Weiss. .
Mr. "Urlau had been for some time
suffering from consumption. He was
ordered to go to Colorado , and on
reaching Sidney on Saturday last , ho
concluded to rest there fora while , But
was found dead in his bed shortly
after noon at the same hour ho was
born , forty-four years before. When
found he had been dead only a few
moments. His brother , Mr. Frederick
G.TJrlau , said to-day this remarkable co
incidence was , from ail the information
he could get from Sidney , true. HU
brother was born shortly after noon ,
and the day of hia death was the anni
versary of his birth.
When Mr. Urlau left this city ho
took with him a draft for 5000. Tin's
could not bo found in his trunk , or in
his clothes. The proprietor of the
hotel where Mr. Urhu was stopping ,
began awgid'search for the draft , and
on opening the trunk once more it was
found right on the top of the traj , ly-
incj on a large piece of writing paper.
It is supposed an attendant whom Mr.
Crlauhad hired in Sidney , stole thc
draft , and becoming frightened.re
turned it to the trunk. Mr. Urlau's
ready money was all taken.
He leaves a wife and four children ;
tolerably well provided for.
