ALBANY, May 81.
There is marked and decided change Ia the
Senatorial situation since last week. Those
who signed the Gail for the stalwart caucus for
last Thursday Light feel themselves relieved
ftom all obligations to attend the machine eau
Gus. on account Of the failure Of the caucus
to meet that night. Several who signed that
call turned up at the meeting of the admins
tratlon men last night and made speeches
there. Those who were on the fence or doubt
ing one week ago are now with the admins
tration side. The current Is setting 80 strong
against Conkling and In favor of the admins
trat1on since to-day, that it is carrying all the
that the opponents of Mr.. Conkling are surprised
at their own strength. The attendance upon
their conference last night, exceeded the most
sanguine expectations. More converts have
fierce staIwart has declared IN the
Of coward. and under no circumstances
reelection is now out OF the question,
under any circumstances II the changes con-
t1nue as rapid for the next two days as they
win not be able to make deadlock, but lose
bis power for mischief In this legislature. The
only weak point OF the administration men is
thas taa adI they have not agreed upon any candi-
on GOV. Cornell AMI q half breed like Depew or
Wheeler. Up to this hour Conkling and his
friends manifest a determination to fight to the
end, declaring 1t to be the commencement OF
the efforts OF Blaine to control the delegates
from this state to the presidential convention
OF 1854. In spite OF this issue and the deter
President Arthur, it is among the possibilities
that an election Of two republican Senators
VIII take place this week: Mr.. Arthur is at the
capitol this morning, sending for senators and
members and pleading with them.
