there are those who say, even il they do not
80 believe, that the conventions action yester-
day serves notice on Secretary Sherman that /
he cannot expect the vote Of the New York .
delegation in the next Presidential nomina- .
ting convention. 1t is construed that the re-
suit demonstrates that Senator Conkling is .
still a power in New York, and being hand
cuIed as he was under che weight of the AN
savory Sprague scandal, and sharer Of the
immense patronage Of the custom house, his
triumph is all the more significant There is
still another view taken of the result and that
is that 1t will tend to revive the Grant Presl- /
Dental boom, and It is accepted as indication |.
that Grant and his friends are stronger in
New York than all the combined elements of
the opposition.
Ex-Governor Fenton, ofNew York, arrived
here to-day. He says that his visit has no
connection whatever with politics, but is sole

report and other matters relating to the con-
| ference that Mr.. Fenton called upon the
/ President and at the State Department. In
conversation this afternoon Mr. Fenton said
that the various Governments of Europe are
now maniiestlng a greater interest in this
| question, and are disposed to favor the posi-
tion assumed by the United States Commits
sioners and the Government of the United
| States and that while neither the President
nor the Secretary Of state are authorized to
renew negotiations with European Govern
ments by invitation to meet again in confer
enco on this question still, both the Presi-
dent and Secretary Evarts are disposed to
further agtate the matter. There is bal-
ance left over of the appropriation made by
Congress for the Monetary Commission last
year, and Secretary Evarts s Inclined to use
this in such manner as may seem advisable.
The Secretary is carrying ON correspond
encc with foreign powers on the subject, and
he expects to have such additional inlorma-
tion in hand by the time Congress convenes as
will suggest further legislation on the subject
He regards it as very desirable, if not abso-
lutely essential, that some ratio of value be-
