 Jones and Conkltng--The Conference at Utica--Important RssuIts Expected. NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.-The Posts special from Utica says: Senator Jones, of Nevada, who has been closeted with Mir. Conkling siece Wednesday night, at the residence of the latter in this city, left town at 11:25 to- day on the train for New York. He was &C., companied to the station by MT. Conkling, who boarded the train and remained in the
 seat in the drawing-room car ''Catskill.' D
 large delegation of the leading Stalwarts of
 Utica escorted the Senator from his carriage
 to the train. Ex-Governor Seymour, who
 was at the station to see some friends safely on board, was introduced to MT. Jones by
 MT. Conkling, and the two had ten minutes
 of conversation on general topics. Some of
 the local Stalwarts, including Mir. Conkling's s
 private secretary, left on the same train
 with MT. Jones. A good deal of To-
 cal gossip has been indulged in rela- tive to the significance of MT. Jones' visit, but it is impossible to ascertain the truth. It was said this morning on trust worthy authority that the conference has grapher being present most of the time to make full and complete reports. It is now generally believed that the result of the con- ference will have an early and important
 bearing on affairs at Washington. Presi- dent Arthur's presence in New York to-day is noted in connection with MT. Jones' de- parture. Those who have been permitted to hear most from the inner walls of Mr. Conk- lings residence for the last two days express themselves with great confidence respecting the ex-Senators immediate future. It is said on one hand that the fight of the Conkling men for supremacy in the State convention will not be continued with more than a show of persistence, and it is also intimated to-day
 by those near to the ex-Senator that he does not care to have a seat in the convention. After Senator Jones' train left, Mr. Conkling was driven immediately to his residence. Office Seekers Hedging-Asktng 8 Re turn Of Their AppIfcations-ConkIi g to Be Provided For-SO Say the Cos sips.
 W W@HNGToN, Sept. 3O.-The White House mails are now full of,requests that applica. tions filed for office under President Garfield
 be withdrawn and forwarded to the appli- cants. Communications of this style form the bulk of correspondence received at the White House since the death of President Garfield.
 Political gossip here to-day has the name of W. W. Hicks, of Florida, mentioned for
 the postmaster generalship. MT. Hicks is at
 present voluntary pastor of a new Methodist
 church in South Washington He was del
 egate from Florida to the Chicago convention
 and voted for Grant at first afterward
 wheeling into line with the Georgia delega-
 tion, headed by Colonel Jack Brown, and
 voting for Garfield and Arthur. MT. Hicks
 is stalwart Republican and 8 valuable man to the party in this State Roscoe Conkling,
 it is said, will not be member of the Cab
 met. He will not be appointed to a seat on
 the Supreme bench either, but is more likely
 to be returned to the Senate and his recently

 Colonel Rockwell to-day wrote letter to the President asking to be relieved of his duties as commissioner of public buildings and grounds In an outside explanation he said the office had always been filled by an intimate personal friend of the President and
 his request for relief was made with 6 view
 of relieving President Arthur from all en-
 barrassment in the matter. His request will
 most likely be granted, but who will be his
 successor is not known.
 General Swain insists that he shall not re-
 sign as Judge AdEeeate General At present
 he is hard at work in review of the evidence
 in the Whitaker case. General Swain was
 asked to-day in regard to the report that his
 affidavit had been sought to declaration that if any portion of the late Presidents remains
 had been brought to the Army Medical Mu- scum for examination OF exhibition it was in
 direct opposition to Mrs. Garheld's wish.
 He said he had heard of nothing of the kind.
 On this point it can be authoritatively stated that the section of the vertebra and
 broken rib of President Garfield will not be
 placed on exhibition in the museum
