No Sympathy for Bradlau9h.
 LONDON, May 19.-In the House of Con- mons tonight Mir. Gladstone was asked the intentions of the government respecting the internninable Bradlaugh case. MT. Gladstone said with some acerbity that Her Majesty s government repudiated any intention of in- troducing an indemnity bill in favor of MT. Bradlaugh and releasing him from pecuniary or other penalties which he had chosen to bring upon himself by his persistence in vio- lating, or attempting to violate, the laws of the realm of the rules of the House. It now becomes almost certain that MT. Bradlaugh will not be permitted to take his seat during this session on any circumstances.

CONKLING's DEFEAT

Anti-COnklingites at WOrk-ERorts to Prevent His Return to the senate-The
 Ex-senator Still Keeping shady-The
 Nominations Sent i'm Y Yesterday.
 WASHINGTON, May 19.-News reaches this city of strong anti Conkling efforts being put forth at Albany with the expectation that neither Conkling or Platt will again occupy their seat in the Senate. A friend of Conk- ling said to-day, speaking of these reports, that he was sure to be returned and his col league with him. Others say that whether or not such was the case when the resigna- tions were sent in Conkling or Platt now in- tend their resignations in good faith If they do not see their way clear to a full vindica- tion they will not allow their names to go before the New York Legisla- ture. Senator Conkling is still at the capiatl and preserved to-day the same busy seclusion that has marked his course all the week He receives few callers other than his most intimate friends The return to the Senate of the nominations of Woodford, Penney and Mo Dougall occasions no surprise, as such action was expected. No reason is assigned for the substitution of Knox's name for the office of marshal, to which Payne was previously re- nominated, and the appointment of Gould in place of Tyler as collector at Buffalo has been explained by recent charges against Ty- Ter. Gould has been friend of Conkling and was recommended by him for some good appointment. Congratulations are pouring in on ex Senator B. K. Bruce on account of his confirmation as Register of the Treasury All agree that 1t is an excellent appointment in every respect, and that this, together with Fred Douglas appointment as Recorder of Deeds, is handsome recognition by the ad- ministration of the colored race.
