In a recent conversation ex-Pres-
ident Hayes expressed his opinion very
frankly in regard to President Arthur.
He said that while, of course, he be-
longed to New York school of politics,
he, Hayes, considered him decidedly
the superior of his associates, and man
of very decided character and ability.
and had no doubt that his administra-
ton would command the confidence of
the people The issue with Arthur as col
lector of the port of New York did not
arise from want of con fdence in his ca
pacitY or ability, but ON a question of
method in reforming the civil service.
He said he was exceedingly anxious that
Mr.. Arthur should adopt the plans and
rules dictated by the administration, for
he wished to retain him. The issue
having been made, and Mr.. Arthur de-
Ginning to yield the point of difference,
the alternative had 10 be met, and his
removal was ordered, but with extreme
reluctance. Some one asked the ex-
President if he did not think rupture
would occur sooner or later between Ar
thur and Conkling. He replied, "That
would be godsend for Arthur"

New YORK, Sept. 30.-An Evening
Post Utica special says that Senator
Jones. of Nevada, who has been closcted
with ConklIng since "Wednesday night,
at the residence of the latter in this city,
has left for New York. He was accom-
panied to the station by Conkling, who
boarded the train and remained in the
car till it was ready to start A large
delegation of leading stalwarts of Utica
escorted the senator from his carriage
to the train. Some local stalwarts, in
Guiding Conkling's private secretary,
left on the same. train with Jones. 1t
was said this forenoon on trustworthy
authority that the conference has been
carried on with great care, stenog-
rapher being present most of the time
to take full and competent reports. 1t
is now generally believed that the re-
suit of the conference will have an early
and important bearing on affairs ut
Washington. Those who have been
permitted to hear the most from the in
ner walls of COnkling's residence dur
ing the last two days, express them
selves with great confidence respecting
the ex-senator's immediate future. It is
said that the fight of the Conkling men
for the supremacy in the state convention
will not be continued with more than
a show of persistence, and it is also init
mated today by those near to the ex SEN
ator, that he does not care TO have seat
in the convention.

The invidious criticisms ventured
regarding the character of the treatment

lar attention that it was hoped they
would by the doctors who have mani

long-suffering public an unseemly pro-
fessiOnal squabble in the midst of the

obtains among the people that all was
done for the lamented President that

WASHINGTON, Sept. ga Mr.. Bayley,
who is an employe in the Army Mcdi-
zeal Museum, has created something oil
a sensation in police and official circles
by filing n sworn statement with the
chief of police, that he had overheard Il
plot 10 assasSinate President Arthur.
Bayley's affidavit is in affect that about
midnight last Monday night, while ly-
ing on his bed, which was in lower
front room fronting on Missouri avenue,
be heard two men talking of the assas-
sination of President Arthur.
Bayley states that his window blinds
were closed, and the two men were lean
ing against tree-box Immediately in
front of his room that one of the men
said il would happen in one month;
that he, referring TO some man whose
name was not mentioned, had sworn to
kill President Arthur within that time;
that the man who has just sworn Was a
Garfield Republican. Bayley says he
was so much .agitated that he did not
know what TO do; the next day he IN
formed the chief clerk of his division OF
what he had heard and he advised Bay
ley 10 report the fact to the police. Up
on this advice Bayley filed his sworn
statement. The police authorities do
not attach much importance TO this
matter, but they have quietly taken
some precautions for the protection of
the President.

ley overheard the conversation he re-
ports, but it was probably halfdrunken
