WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The air is full
of rnmofs about Senator Cenkling. TIL
| report that he was eloseted In his com
mittee-room with Speaker Randall yes
| terday Ia confirmed and while some o
| his friends assert that the consultation
was solely Ia regard to some pending
railroad legislation, the Senator's eaui
vocal position on the presidential uties
ton makes most Republicans skeptica
about the truth of the explanation. Th,
suspicious Of yesterday that he has en-
tered the conspiracy OF the revolution
lists In the House to defeat the compile
ton OF the count have ripened into belle
to-day In the minds OF d good many O
his party associates. The prevailing
rumors as to the part he Is TO play Hnt
the reward he is TO receive may do hin
grievous injustice, but they are part
Of the current history OF the present
political crisis and cannot be kept eui
OF print. .-........
It Ia asserted that the Democrats de.
pend upon him to prevent the President
Of the Senate from opening the remain.
Ing certificates after they unmask theil
filibustering project In the House. and
to be elected President Of the Senate by
a combination between the Democrats
and eight or ten Republicans whom he
is expected to control. He would thus
become President of the United States
for one year. With his inordinate van
ity he would OF course feel confident
that he could secure regular election
next fall. Another story is that Mr..
Conkling does not expect that he can be
put In the chair of the Senate: but that
he is going TO oppose the completion Of
the count and support the bill which
Mr.. Field and Mr.. Randall have pre-
pared for new election In May. He
imagines he has influence enough to put
It through the Senate after it has passed
the House.
Whether Senator Conkling Is in favor
OF Gov. Hayes becoming President or
not, 1t is certain that he is endeavoring
TO get o hold upon his administration
prudently providing for. contingencies,
as a sagacious politician should. He ID
pushing candidate for place In the
Cabinet. His choice Is Representative
Platt, and the position selected for him
is that OF Postmaster General. To-day
Q letter addressed to His Excellenoy
rutherford b. Hayes, President of the
United Statss," was quietly circulated
for signature, at the instance Of Mr..
Conkling, among the Republican mem
beers from New York, asking for Mr..
Platt's appointment. In this move
ment Mr.. Conkling seeks to kill two
birds with one stone. IT he succeeds
he will get devoted friend in place
controlling more. patronage than any
other Cabinet office, and he will at the
same time keep Mr.. Evarts out of the
Cabinet. The latter object he regards
% more important to his own political
future than the former II Mr.. Evarts
goes into the State Department and
makes a success there. Mr.. Conkling
realizes that the probabilities are that
he will be crowded out Of the Senate at
5he expiration of his present term.

The success that has Attended its ship.
ment to England.

| IN. Y. Tribune.l
The experiment OF shipping beef from
America to Europe has resulted so sue
cessfully that number OF firms In thi
and other cities are now engaged In the
business. The first shipments Of i'm
portance were made from this city las
summer, and were attended with much
loss, on account OF the imperfect methot
OF preservation then in use, An i'm
proved ice house, or refrigerator, In
which the beef is suspended from the
ceiling OF the hold, as In market, and
Through which a constant stream of all
ls forced by @ blower. has removed this
difficulty, and preserves the meat in
good condition until It's arrival at the
most distant port. The prices obtained
In England and other foreign countries,
affords the shippers a handsome profit,
Indeed. a. firm in this city, extensively
engaged In the expectation OF beef,
stated yesterday that their profits In
foreign ports are double those obtained
In this city. The expectation OF large
quantities or beef this winter has affect.
ed the cattle market, a sudden rise of
prices having several times occurred.
followed by large shipments to this city
from the West.
Following up their success in this
line. the stock dealers have also under
taken the shipment OF live cattle to
Europe, and 1t is thought the expert
ment will prove success. Prior to this
winter beef cattle have not been ship
ped to- foreign countries from the
United States on account Of the ex-
pense, the risk incurred, and the mo.
nopoly OF the Eastern markets by Eu-
ropean stock.raisers. Canada, how
ever, mas been exporting live stock to
nj n nF1ff tfTtr "a A..
with such success that New York and
Philadelphia merchants are now trying
the experiment. Five of the leading
cattle firms Of this city have vessels
loaded with beef cattle on the way to
England and Scotland, and are prepar-
Ing to extend their business. Only two
firms in Philadelphia have thus far un.
dertaken the experiment, but In
tne words or a prominent cat
tie dealer In this city, "If the
shipments now made prove successful q
rise in the price OF cattle will ensue.
importations from the West and South
Will be more extensive than ever before.
and a new enterprise OF considerable
magnitude will be opened in the lead
Ing shipping ports Of the United States. -
The shipment of live stock across the
ocean has made necessary the constrlc-
ton OF apartments on the vessels quite |
different from anything heretofore in
use. Portable stalls, in which the cat |
tie are fastened, have been specially |
made, so arranged as to give room for |
eating and drinking, and to be nova |
Bile, with the cattle in them, to different
parts of the vessel. The stock is thus
brought upon deck for several hours
each day and given the benefit Of the
fresh sea air. The new arrangement is
strictly an American invention, and its !
friends are confident that its introduc-
ion will open Europe and every part of
he globe as market for the stock
'aisers of America.
