One Hundred and Seven Bodies
Have Already Been
Recovered.
LONDON , Ont. , May 25 ' 1 a. m.
About G o'clock last evening the mosi
fearful accident that ever occurred ir
Canada took place on the river about
i a mile below this city. The st-wmici
' -'Victoria" - frorn th (
[ - was- coming Tip
waterworks with her two decks crowd
cd with passengers. When at the
bend below Cove Bridge/slie ijpve :
lurch and , toppled over in a few * , min *
utes. ' Tlic water was instantly fillet
with struggling men , women anil chil
dren. The boat foundered , and the
timbers of the upper part cominj
down held the people under the v.-ater
which at this point is very deep. Som <
managed to struggle out , but the losi
of life was appalling. Up to ibis , turn
107 bodies have been found , but at tin
present it is impossible to give a f ul
list of the deaths. As the bodies wen
brought out of the water and In id or
the shore , the sight was a most fcarf u
one , and 'will long remain in the mem :
ory of those who witnessed it. Hun-
dredsof liair-breadth escapes occurred ,
but they were all dwarfed in the sat
disaster that laid so many people oul
in death. Efforts were made to re
suscitate some of the drowned ones
butlhey were of no avail and the bodies
ies were laid side ly side on the rivei
bank. The scene was lit up by bon
fires built on the shore to assist the
willing hands who were at work to re
cover the bodies from the wreck. .A
large number of medical men were o
band and did all hi their power , buj
to no purpose. The city is wailing ;
hundreds of families were bereft , and
at the present time a great deal of un
certainty prevails aq to who were on
the boat and who escaped. Friends
if those who were known to be at the
waterworks and who liave not re
turned , or have been identified amongst
the drowned , are almost frantic. The
police have charge of all identified
bodies , and it is expected that before
morning they will all be found.

JL11DLOAIUAN SENSATION.
ST. PETEKSB.UKC , May 24 i p. m ,
Tiie "Golos" is concerned at the
alarming jicws sent by jts correspond-
cut at Sophia. It seems that Prince
Alexander under the influence of Aus
trian machinations , is about to alcci
the constitution elaborated by Rus
sian statement and introduce a system
of two houses of assembly , an uppei
and a lower. With this object ir
view he is about to call
a general assembly of the ' "people
which the correspondent , of 'Golos is
evidently afraid of , 'although he de ;
clares that Bulgarians fear the Austrians -
trians more than anything else in the
world , and place all their hopes on the
Russianemperorandthe people. Incase
the general assembly docs not approve
of his proposals it is said that the
prince will abdicate , but the "Golos"
believes that the young ruler
thoroughly understands that his in
dependence proceeds only from a firm
determination of the Russians not to
allow the porte to intcrpreff the Berlin
< "
lin treaty as s'anctio'ning "her inter
ference in the international affairs of
Bulgaria. Prince Alexander will
therefore abstain from any meas
ures of the above char
acter unless approved of by the
Russia and the Bulgarians may rest
assured the country will never allow
any cliango likely to over-turn the
edifice built up by Russian hands on
the soil soaked with Russian blood %

OETTIXO.WAEM. . .
Matters are growing very warm ant
crowds are getting hot-tempered everj
hour. The battle will fairly open to
morrow , when the whole force of eithei
side will bo exerted towards securing
control of the republican caucus.
THE "HALF-BREEDS. "
If the "half-breeds" can prevent f
sufficient number of their members
from attending the formally callec
caucus , they will have secured a point ,
but the arrival of Conkling his after
noon is regarded as proof sufficient
against such an extremity.
CONKLING LEAVES FOll ALBAXY.
NEW YORK , May 24 10 p. m.
Senator Conkling left for Albany this
morning unbeknowns to any except
Senator Platt , ex-Minister Sloughton
and a few most intimate friends , ac
companied by his secretary , who said ;
"Rest assured , we are going to win. "
Senator Platt left this morning.
The friends of Conkling are making
arrangements for a grand mass meet
ing to be held at the Cooper Institute ,
or on the steps of the treasury build
ing on "Wall street , either to-day or
Thursday , to forward the movement
to .secure his re-election to the senate
and to protest against the course of the
administration in our local affairs.
COXKL1KG AND ARTHUR ARRIVE.
ALBANY , N. Y. , May 25 1 a. m.
Somewhat to the surprise of the unin
itiated , a motion was passed in both
houses of the legislature at 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon , for adjournment ,
and the usual Tuesday afternoon ses
sion was dispensed with. The fact
that ( Sonkling and Arthur would ar
rive on the early afternoon train was
then generally announced , and it was
rumored that they would be given a
serenade last night. But this is de-
nisd by Conkli-ig's friends , who said
that he had specially requested no
demonstration. .The
CROWD AT THE DEPOT ,
on Hie arrival of the train , greeted
Conkling with cheers/ / while accom
panied by Vice-President Arthur and
others , including Hamilton Fish , Jr. ,
the party proceeded at once to the
Dclavan House where rooms were re
served. Upon their arrival cheers
were given for Conkling , Platt , Ar
thur , the stalwarts , and , Grant.
GOV. CORNELL VISITS CONKLING.
Governor Cornell immediately visit
ed Conkling and was closeted with
him some time. It is believed the
stalwarts will insist on holding a cau
cus on Thursday night.
DEMOCRATIC VIEWS.
A prominent democrat , interviewed
regarding tne position the democrats
will assume , said the democratic idea
was that Ihe legislature should adjourn
without electing senators , and would
make a combination with cither f. : -
tion to that effect. They believed t"io
matter Uhould bq EU' flitted to
people and decided at e general
elections. They won' i make no cr
promise or combina ; in with eitiur
< > f the republican factious forthe eisc-
tion of senators this session , If near
necessary , they would nominate two
stalwart democrats find stand by them
till the end.
A. S. Hewitt , ot New York , will
probably be one. This view is en
dorsed by Sonutor Jjjpobs , democra'Ic
leader of the senate , and Erastus
Brooks , democratic leader in the as
sembly.
-CONFIDENCE ON BOTH SIDES.
There is a large influx to-day of po
litical workers from all parts of the
state. Both sides profess confidence.
Thure arc many republicans who say
that at the proper time Platt will with
draw in favor of Governor Cornell or
Congressman Richard Crowley.
RUMORS.
It is reported that the stalwarts will
propose to the opposition a recess of
the legislature until November , when
the present excitement will have died
out. This is o ily one of the many
rumors current to-night.
THE "HALF-BREEDS" MUST SHOW THEIR
HANDS.
ALBAYV , May 25 1 a. m. General
George H. Sharpe , speaker of the as
sembly mid chairman of the assembly
republican caucus committee , sent a
second letter yesterday to Dennis Mc
Carthy , chairman of the senate caucus
committee , asking him to unite m a
ipint call for a caucus to be held on
Thursday evening. Sharpe is a stal
wart , while McCarthy claims to be an
opposition. It is the policy of the
stalwarts to force a caucus in order to
compel Ihe "half-breeds" to show their
] } y\a. \ It is "believed "the latter will
resgri to wary expedient to postpone ,
or preyient'entirely , any cauqup.
TH K .S1TNE Y JN f EtfTIG ATI ON.
A\'ASHI ! VE < HC , Sfay 2 § 1 a. m.
The talk of the town is the allogpd
scandulous disclosures being made by
the investigation in the official affairs
pf Custodian Pitney of the treasury.
The JatcsL feature in the matter is the
alleged connection , pf osSecfetary
Herman ynth tlje remarkaljlQ dis-
uurscments of the treasury contingent
fund. It is said that Uje"employes of
the department were engagfcd uniler
government pay to work upon an em
bellishment of Sherman's ' * H" street
mansion , and that the expenses of the
treasury cabinet shop , under Pitney's
care , were ibui raised to a questiona
ble figure. " p ? sup.jxjrt pf this alJe-
gation.H7iaS been'said { .ha "Pitney
was appointed by Sherman in 1877.
The fact is that the present custodian
received his appointment from Presi
dent Grant , Bristow then being sec
retary gf the treasury. It is not improbable
probable- that much of the hqnautjon
that Has evolved from th'e investiga
tion will be discounted in'a similar
way CHIEF CLERK UTTOX CHIPS IN. .
Assistant Secretary Upton says that
when he was chief clerk of the depart
ment he instituted a system of pur
chase by bidding , > vhch ! was followed
closely , as long as he was in that posi
tion. And which , as far as he knew ,
was being followed by his successors.
When bids were called for and pur
chases made thereon , it had been his
aim to procure of specified articles ,
those that -were needed , buHf/furthei /
supplies became necessary , purchase !
were made on thebasis of the last-bid
WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
The investigation is being carefully
made , and Secretary Windom says In
has not received , and will receive m

CmOF MEXICO , May 24 4 p. ir.
Reports have reached here tht rx--
mors are cui rent in the United Slates
that General Grant was to leave here
post haste , or had already left , to take
part in the scnalor'al contest in Ne
fork. The state agent of the nationr'
press has. seen General Grant an1
he states that he shall not leave
Mexico before the twentieth insc. .
'Thursday. ) This is his present plai
and ho will not leave there until p
settlement by the senate of the rcpoi .
c " committee on the southern railroad.
The committee has reported favorably
but the law of Mexico requires that
! wo days shall elapse before the committees -
mittees report shall bo con
sidered by the senate.
The "two republics" says
t'lis , and Ead's bill for a ship railroad
will pass without further opposition ,
and probably be immediately con
sidered. If the southern bill Is passed ,
General Grant will leave for the
United States on the 2Gtl , as at pres
ent arranged. If the bill fails to
paw , hq will rqmain for a longer
period.

HIs Public Services.

York , has long been prominent in
New York politics. He is a native of
Westchester county , and is 53 years
of age. He was educated at Bedford ,
Wcslchester county , and was admit
ted to the bar in 1847. Ho was elect
ed as superintendent or the Bedford
common schools soon after attaining
his majority , and retained that posi
tion for many years. He was firai
elected to the assembly in 1849 , bein
chen but 2(5 ( years of age , and serv i !
for two years. He was elected to the
state senate from the Westchester dis
trict in 1854 , and was a senator in ' 53 ,

established free schools throughou

merce and navigation , as chairman i
the committee on rules , library aiV
judiciaiyand as premlcnt pro tern , i.
1C74 , ' 75 , ' 7G and ' 77. He was coun.y
jud e of Wcstchcster county fi > v
twelve years , being consecutive ;
elected for three terms. He w.
chosen as presidential elector in ISC" ) ,
and was then elected to"a scat in the
Fortieth congress. He was delegate
to the Republican national conventions
in 18G4 and 187G and 1830 , and he
has been repeatedly sent as
delegate to the Whig and Republican
stale conventions. He served
as member of the Republican State
Committee for six successive years and
w.is made Chairman of the Military
Committee appointed by Gov. Morgan
in 1SG2 to raise and organize State
tioops in the Eighth Senatorial Dis-
lu'ct. He was the Commissioner ap
pointed to supcrinted the draft in
\Yeslchester county in the early part
< if the war , and was the Brigade In
jector of the 7th Brigade for six

i.nns College the degree of LL. D.

i nitic competitor , Mr. R. Lathers. Au

-on at Chicago he was most savagely
renounced by tho. Conkling organs
nnd threatened with political extinc
tion. With reference to party prin-
xples he has always boon a straight
. .nd uncompromising Whig and after-
, vawl a Republican.
Judge Robertson is a man above

jrayigh white hair and a large tuft of
joatio upon his chin. He has bluish
oyea , regular features , and is a man
sf considerate , attentive , respectful
uid remarkable power of thinking on
