A Dull Day. '
National Associated Press. ; '
ALBANY , Juno 20. There were no
noxv developments iu either the bri
bery charges or senatorial contests to
day. Everything in both matters
seems to bo in suspense awaiting the
reception of the investigation com
mittee's report to-morrow. Much in
terest centres in the testimony which
it is expected Davenport will ivo to
morrow in relation to Strahen's testi
mony about the marslialslnp. It is
rumored that Davenport intends
going for the stalwarts by telling seine
inside-stories about the way in which
ho alleges , they manipulated Strahen's '
incident to produce a false effect in
public opinion against the adminis
tration.
The proceedings before the grand
juiy to-day amounted to nothing , Ed.
Pholp gave them what , is .admitted to
bo a satisfactory account1 of the ' ? 10-
000 and 82)500 ) checks which Blake ,
of Kinmore , cashed for him. A. D.
Barber was also before the jury , and
his statements in regard to the charg
es of bribery of members of the as
sembly by card playing in his rooms
.was accepted satisfactory -.and he
was allowed to , go. without further

It is rumored that Senator ] Baker
and Bramcr will break away from the
stalwarts by Wednesday and take
with themto the half-breeds four
other stalwarts. 1 The stalwarts to-
nictht admit that if the half-breeds
had secured a second ballot to-day
they would have gained four stalwarts.
-The stalwarts have called a conference
for to-morrow evening to take steps to
hold their men together. The break
now talked about is something
likely to occur at any time , owing ,
mainly , to the impatience of members
to get home. The half-breeds , if a
full vote is present to-morrow , will
get sixteen moro votes than hereto
fore.

Grant Explains.
National Associated Prcsa.
NEW YORK , Juno 20. Gen. Grant
and ex-Senators Conkling and Platt
loft the Fifth Avenue hotel at an early
'
h'our to-day and proceeded down
town on business. Oonklyig's friends
stated that his presence would not be
required in Albany for tlio present ,
and he will thus bo afforded an oppor
tunity for attending to some legal
business in this city , for which ho
has been retained. Gen. Grant's de
parture was almost unnoticed and ho
appeared desirous to escape observa
tion. To some friends who called on
Grant , thu latter stated that his visit to
the city this tim a seemed to have been
misunderstood in some directions. Ho
came on private business merely.
With regard to the senatorial question
ho took a lively interest in the strug
gle , and while his warmest sympathies
were with Conkling , in the contest ho
did not intend , as has been stated in
some quarters , to take any active part
in the conflict. His position on the
question was fully understood by
Conkling and his friends.
General Grant will leave for Long
Branch Wednesday evening , but will
return to New York City in July and
attend to business. The general , when
asked this evening if it was true as re
ported tnat ho had been in correspon
dence with Garfield in regard to the
present senatorial struggle , said : "It
is true that I received a letter from
Garflold before I loft Mexicowhich the
press of business prevented mo from
responding to. It was couched in
very courteous , kind and polite terms
and was an expression of General Gar-
field's views. It was in reality an an
swer to my views as expressed in a let
ter to Senator Jones. I am prepar
ing a reply to it , which I shall forward
to the president.
"When completed , will you five it
out for publication ? "
"No , sir , I will send it to Gen , Garfield -
field , and ho can do with it as ho
chooses. "
' Have you any objections to let
ting the press copy the letter you re
ceived from the president , "
"I don't consider that I liavo any
right to do so , aud if either of the let
ters reach the public press , Garfield
must give them out. I have no ob
jection whatever to their publication ,
and Mr. Garfield has my free and
full consent to liavo them published.
It rests entirely with him. "
The general said ho had nothing to
take back in any interview on the
senatorial question already published.
He thought Conkling and I'latt have
both been badly treated and should be
re-elected * "Vdo not think the pres
ident ha.s shown them that courtesy
which belongs to thorn. If I had
boon in Garlk'ld'a place I should have
advised with the senators before mnk
ing such important appointment as
the collector of the port of Now York , "
"Was that your custom when you
were in the White House ? "
"Yes , except in regard to Senator
Sutnuer , who was continually finding
f.uilt with my administration , He
antagonized mo in every possible way
and thereby lost claim to senatorial
courtesy. "
The Stnr-Routo
W.i lilngtton Sx | > fbl to The Intt-r iHcan ,
The very latest bitof news which has
been circulating during the past 48
hours for the consolation of Mr.
Dorsoy nnd his associates , show to
what straits thu ringsters are placed
for comfort. The news would ' "be
highly important if it was true. Word
had been passed alone ; ' tho. line that
of foundation for tho'$5t0 yj but as
' '
long as such.talcs.w'ill irtspiro'liopo in
the contractors' breasts 'it is hardly
worth while to deny them.
So. much .has boon printed about ru
mored diaagreomonta iiutho .cabinet
for the purpose of influencing the pub
lic mum , that many\uuiiiforinod per
sons are actually of the opinion that
there must bb somb foundation for the
stories. So far as the prosecution of
the star route 'cases nro concerned all
of the members' of tho' . . 'cabinet are
agreed that" no alone" should : be left
unturned to discover whether the aov-
urnmcnt has been swindled or not , and
if frauds had been . committed that
their authors shall bo severely'pun
ished. There is neb a shadow of dis
cord or difference of opinion among
the president's advisors on the subject.
The president , the attorney general ,
and the postmaster general are work
ing in complotcst accord on this sub
ject , and all reports to the contrary
are totally false. Mr. MacVeagh
seems to have been singled out
by the members of the ring
and their friends as a target
for maliciously untrue state
ments. He is the person most droadcd
by the culprits , and they lose no op
portunity of striking at him. The
statement that he wrote a letter to a
Philadelphia editor saying that ho felt
'the sand slipping from under his feet
( meaning that he thought ho would bo
compelled to leave the cabinet ( is ut
terly without foundation. No mem
ber of the cabinet has a moro certain
tenure of oftico than the attorney gen
eral. His services to the administra-
tion-tlius far Jiave Afc7RvaUuii > lo.
Mr. MacVeagh appears to have suc
ceeded in his present policy. Ho 'has
also retained the respect of the sena
tors from Pennsylvania. Those who
know the inside of the appointment of
ym. E. Chandler , and the considera
tion that caused the attorney general
to express the wish that lie would not
be confirmed , now realize that Mr.
MaeVeagh's judgment was the voice
of wisdom ,

majesty's government had foil it
their duty to inform thoAmeriean ad
ministration ofnumerous out
rages recently committed iu
Dublin , Iiivm-ool | ) , Cheater nnd else
where in the United Kingdom and in
Ireland , nnd of the fact that these
outrages wore instigated by men living
in the I'nited States and by their em
issaries on this side of the water. Her
majesty's government had not made
any demand upon the I'nited Slutes.
They hud simply united the attention
of the administration at Washington
to the facts.

The Daily News , in a leading arti
cle says ; "It is not usual or desirable
for the foreign secretary to address
other goveinmenta on the conduct of
their citizens at home , but the circum
stances of the skirmishing fund are
peculiar. Some of the moat violent
agitators in Ireland have como from
America , while the house of repre
sentatives have thought it becoming to
transmit through the president of the
United States an opinion , not perhaps
very carefully considered , on the way
in which it behooves us to deal with

proves that the instincts of conserva
