BLAINE AID CCNKLING.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The rec
onciliatiOn of Senator's Blaine and
Conkling seems to be complete. The
latter responded cordially in the last
executive session to all advances of
the former, and yesterday they ap-
peared in conversation in open SEES
sion. As they stood talking before
the clerks desk Senator David Davis
came up, and, putting an arm around
each, stood there for several minutes,
and until everybody on the floor and
in he galleries had noticed the unus-
ual and friendly meeting. ...
THE HOUSE DOoRKEEPER.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The
House by a unanimous vote yester-
day relieved the doorkeeper of the
difficulty in which he found himself
by employing temporarily too many
men on his rolls. An investigation
put members of Congress in a worse
light than the doorkeeper, who had
been unable to resist The pressure
which they had made on him for
places, supplemented as it was by
assurances that they would stand by
him. The House, therefore, decided
that it would pay these extra men
for the time they had been employed.
A MURDERER RUsE.
CINCINNATI, o., Dee. 17.-Oscar
Blankenship, Of Carlisle, KY, was
brought to the Covington Ky Jail
to-day, from Gala, Texas. He is
charged with murder. About three
months ago he was admitted to bail.
and to escape justice went to his ia
theirs grave, dug up the remains,
and, cutting them i'll two, threw a
part into the Licking river. An in
quest was held on this, and it was
identified as part of the remains of
young Blankenship, upon whose life
there was a heavy insurance, and as
the company thought the finding of
his body WAS a ruse on the part of
Oscar to escape sentence and to obtain
the insurance, they dug up the grave
of his father and found the other half
of the body. They concluded young
Blankenship was in the land of The
living, and a detective was sent to
Gala, Texas, and found the man.
He will be taken from Covington to
Carlisle.
STRICKEN FROM THE ROLL.
PoTTSVILI e, Dee. 1.-THE names
of Charles w. Wells. an attorney and
the late secretary of the Mutual Saw.
ings Fund Association, and Jonathan
Wright, also an attorney were strick-
en- from the list Of practising attor-
ney's of the Schuylkill county courts
to-day. The former was charged
with the embezzlement of large sums
of money and with making false en-
tries to cover his deficiency, and the
latter with making collections that
he newer accounted for.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The London
correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian telegraphs to that journal
as follows: at was the gossip at all
the political clubs today (Monday)
that the cabinet is divided about the
measures to be taken to pre- vent a
one-sided alteration of the treaty of
Paris, and that Lord Derby, foreign
minister, and the marquis of Sails
bury, secretary Of State for India, are
opposed to the pet scheme of Lord
Beaconsfield, the premier, TO summon
parliament much earlier than usual.
1t is exceedingly probable that parli
ament will meet on the 18th of Janu-
airy, to which time it was prorOgued
last week, but the means by which
Lord Beaconstield hopes to maintain
British interest under the treaty OF
Paris will require deliberation."
NOTE. Parliament usually meets
in February.
CoNSTANTlNOPLE, Dec. 18- Fro
neous interpretations having been
given to the circular of the Porte in
wiling mediation, it is officially ex-
planned that Turkey does not op-
proach the powers as a vanquished
State since she still has two lines of
defence which the government be-
