CHICAGO. April 8.-A Washington special
says: The adjournment OF the Senate to
Monday shows how completely at the
present time Conkling has command Of the
Republican majority. He te~legraphed
Arthur to come to New York and meet him
tonight. Arthur announced to the Senate
that he was going at any rate, and the
Senate considerably adjourned to enable
Conkling and his able staff in New York to
prepare some new plan to discomfort the
Administration enemy.
The Washington special of Jay Gould's
Tribune, says: Conkling is reported as
having recently described the situation In
the following expressive sentence: 1.-The
President has placed M in q situation
where | must commit suicide or murder,
and / have chosen murder"
A reporter of Jay Gould's Tribune in
terviewed Jones of Nevada, who said 81
came to New York in response to a tele-
gram to attend to some business in con-
nection with the Hudson River Tunnel,
and shall return to Washington to-day. ]
do not know Robertson very well, having
| only met him once during the convention
in Chicago, and l certainly would not do
such a thing as to undertake to influence
his withdrawal, or to work against his con-
frmation. The rumor that such is my
business is entirely erroneous"
In Favor of a Full Vote and a
Fair Count.
WASHINGTON, April THE Democrats
until to-day seemed to have thought the
Senate Republicans were not supported by
the Administration. The President to
some Virginia Republicans to-day said he
was in full sympathy with the independent
movement in Virginia, and would do all he
could to encourage it. He believed the
proper course for the Republicans to pur-
sue was to unite with the anti Bourbon
element in the Democratic party wherever
possible. He did not indorse the position
assumed by some Of the managers of the
Republican organization in Virginia who
opposed any coalition with Malone. This
declaration shows that Garfield does not
approve of the action of the National Com
mittee in New York last summer, which at
the very time when a coalition with Ma
none was about to be effected which might
have insured the electoral vote of the State
to the Republicans, denounced all efforts at
coalition NC prevented it. The Republi.
can Senators think there is a promise of a
general INT organized movement of inde-
pendents in the Southern States during
the coming summer and autumn. There
are many reasons for believing hat the
time Is ripe for such organization, and with
leaders of character and determination
the greater number of these States can be
carried and controlled by such Independent
organizations, and the promoters of this
Southern independent movement mean to
make prominent in their platforms every
where the demand for "a free vote and q
fair count" Some Southern Republicans
are hostile to the movement. They belong
to a class of men who have kept in power
in their States or at Washington only by
concentrating a meager vote. Bourbon in
tolerance IL welcome to them because it
furnishes them with q grievance which they
raise as a claim for Federal Offices.
An Uprising of Chinese at the East.
New York. April s.-The Times says
The proprietor Of the laundry at Belle
vile, N. Y. where until recently over 200
Cinnamon were employed, is supplied al
most exclusively with white labor. Case
bolt. the manager, became satisfied, he
says, that white labor was cheaper in the
long run than Chinese labor, and began
several months ago to make the change,
but Q large n-nlber Of Chinese still re-
manned in his service. A few days 60,
one OF them, who was grossly offensive in
demeanor toward Casebolt, was discharged.
Thinking the foreman had been instrument
tai in securing the discharge Of the work
man, the Chinese demanded the discharge
of.the foreman. Mr.. Casebolt refused to
remove the foreman, and the Cinnamon
threatened to kill him. They quit work
and spent their time in playing cards. A
with dirk knives, gathered on the laundry
premises, and yelled like Comanche In
dams. Mr.. Casebolt vent boldly into the
desperate crowd and declared that he would
punish any one Of them that raised q hand
against either himself or the foreman.
When a constable arrived Casebolt put
Wong Jack, one OF the ringleaders, in
irons, and the rest, overawed, retreated.
Casebolt then discharged all Of them, and
they marched up in single file to the depot.
On Monday twenty of them returned, and
promising to obey the rules were taken
back to work. Casebolt says he will dis
charge them as soon as he can replace
them with white men and women.
A Retreat to be Called q Compro.
mise.
WASHINGTON, April evidently there
has been considerable buster in the talk
Of making war against the Administration,
because Of Robertson's nomination. Conk-
ling much prefers compromise to war, and
he and all his friends are using all their
energies and influence to obtain some little
concession from the President. SO that q
retreat may be sounded and called . ON
promise. A thorough canvass of the Sem
ate by your reporter shows that Conkling
is doomed to defeat, and he knows it.
Only two Democratic Senators even talk
Of voting with him. Maxey, voorhees, and
Garland, who have been published as his
supporters, deny the report OF the Repub-
licans. Conkling, should he press his op-
position to Robertson to q vote, would not
get exceeding q dozen Senators. Conk-
ling is elected to go to Wisconsin with
Carpenters remains, knowing that what
ever might occur in the Senate his fight
would not open in his absence. He is
taking every means to delay the opening of
the battle, in the hope that some arrange
ment will be made by which he can retreat
without dishonor.
It II Suggested that Garfield Has
Made a Mistake.
NEW York, April 8.-The Times says
Collector Merritt has had the honor Of a
petition, the signatures to which already
occupy a space of fifty feet, praying for his
