WASHINGTON, January 20th. = Senator
Eaton, Chairman of the Committee on For
eign Relations informed your correspondent
to-day that he will next Tuesday call up the
Chinese treaties in his committee, and endea-
vor to have them made the exclusive order of
business from day to day until the committee
reaches inal action III regard to them. He
also says that with view of Fastening action
he will propose that the committee obtain
authority from the Senate to hold meetings
while the Senate is in session. Senator
Eaton fully appreciates the importance of
taking prompt action on the treaties. If
they are to be amended, they should be
speedily brought before the Senate for dis
cussion, 50 that they may be returned to
China Tor ratification of the amendments
fed without amendment this also must be
done quickly, or there will be no time left for
this Congress to enact the necessary legisla
ton to carry them into effect. On the whole
however, Senator Eaton doubts whether for
nal action by the Senate may reasonably be
expected short of two weeks from the present
time.
Senator Farley has received communica
ton from prominent citizens of Wilmington,
iuquiring whether there is any means of OBJ
tanning removal by the Federal Govern
ment of wreck which mas drifted into the
entrance of their harbor, and which threatens
to cause permanent obstruction Of naviga-
ton by he consequent formation of a bar
On inquiry he WAS referred by the Secretary
of War to General Wright, Chief of En-
gineers, who informs him that an unfamiliar
clause of law enacted last year authorizes
the Engineer Department to remove any
wreck from harbors at the expense of the
Government, provided the owners, after
thirty days notifcati by public advertise
ment, shall neglect to do so themselves in
which case the wreck shall become the prop
erty of the Government. Accordingly, at
Farleys instance, Secretary Ramsey has to-
day directed Colonel Mendell to make an ex-
animation of this case, and if in his Judgment
it is likely to iniure the harbor, he is forth
with to take the steps above indicated for its
removal.

CHICAGO, January 20th.-A Times Wash
ington special has a sensational story to the
effect that Frank HiScock OF New York, who
aspices to the Speakeiship of the House, al
though always an anti-Conkling Republican.
became convinced that Conkling's aid was
necessary to secure his ambition. He called
on Conkling in the Senate yesterday after
noon and had talk on the subject. Conk-
ling received his visitor with more than his
usual haughtiness, raised bis form to its full
hight as he looked Hiscock full in the face,
and acclaimed, after the fashion of proud
political potentate who does not likely grant
favors to men who have been lacking in per
sonal loyalty. Hiscock began by bluntIy
saying that lie wanted Conking's support in
his canvass for the Speakership, frankly say
ing he did not believe he could succeed with
out his (Conkling's) help. He understood the
full value of the service be was asking. aud
subscribed fully to whatever reasonable
terms might be demanded for an alliance.
Said Conking, slowly and mpressively
g Mr.. Hiscock, you ask me for my support
for the Speakership. Now, my dear sir, /
ask, in advance, what kind of man | am
supporting? There are in this sad vale of
tears two kinds of Republicans. If you be-
long to certain class, who are beneath any
language, however contemptuous, you must
not look to me. By Cd, sir, if there is any
one thing upon which pride myself it is the
fact that am a Republican a stalwart Re-
publican. If you please, there is no milk
and water business here; nc sniveliDg hypoc-
risy or selfish cant. To all loyal Republicans
/ am friend; to the insipid, make believe
Republicans who make an endless practice
of being superior to their wicked party
associates, | am the sworn, unshrink-
ing, tireless enemy" Hiscock took
this lecture very quietly, and then
asked, in q quiet fashion what sort
of pledge Conkling would receive from hin
to satisfy him upon the question of personal
loyalty. Conkling replied, in still more
emphatic manner, 1T is subject that will
take some time TOR me to consider. | am
free to say like you. You have never. to
my knowledge, played sneak or hypocrite,
but, by God, if you were my own father, or
my own brother, | would want to know in
advance exactly how you stood upon one or
two vital things before you could have my
support. 1 tell you, sir, it is matter far
beyond my personal feeling. l should want
you to be able TO satisfy me that you are
loyal to the stalwart element Of the Republi-
can party. That you have no sympathy
with the treacherous, traitorous, mendacious,
hypocritical conspirators who are now seek.
ing to betray the coming President into a
contemplate disregard of the men who made
said Mr.. Conkling, with increased fire and
energy, "there is going to be in the future a
square line of action drawn. The men who car
ried the last campaign on their shoulders, and
who secured the hard earned victory, are
men who will not be overlooked. The same
power that made can again undo. So when
you come to me to ask me for my support,
you must first be certain where you stand at
the present time, as well as for the future.
The loyal, stalwart Republicans do not pro-
pose to allow the fawning sneaking, hypo.
critical, feather-headed ones, the breed of milk.
and. water men, to rule. We have submitted
quietly, believing that relief would come in
the natural order of things" Conklipg's
talk to Hiscock was plainly understood by the
latter to be a demand for his personal allegi-
auce to Conkling, even to the extent of fight
ing the coming Administration, il his leader
should SO direct. There is little doubt that
he will accept the conditions, and through his
new allegiance he straightway becomes one OF
the most formidable of contestants for the
Speakership OF the next House
