 COnklIng Washes His Hani=. WASHINGTON, May 14.-o,uator COnkling entered the Republican -terday rather late and made a short but sharp speech. He said the caucus had been called without with him and WAS an at tempt to defeat him by indirect methods. He declared that Robert sons confirmation will disrupt and defeat the Republican party in New YOrk,s but said, as the Republican Senators were rushing on as eagerly to that fate, he washed his hands of the whole affair.
 ! WASHINGTON, May 13.-Mrs. Gar field is worse tonight and the Pres dents entire attention is given 10 her, SO nothing can be learned from him about public matters,
 It is stated that even after Robert sons confirmation, and the RepublI- can Senators have virtually determ- med to confirm him, the President will probably not re-nOminate the men for attorneys and marshais in New York whom he lately withdrew. If the stalwarts of New York resent confirmation by continu- ing the fight against the admInistra- ton, the President will nominate from the anIi-stalwart element, but if the stalwarts as body accept results, the President will give them the nom- nations they want, and ii they ask for renominatIons of men recently the President will com ply. In short, the President will be guided by the course of the stalwarts. He Is as anxIous as ever tO do iustlce 10 both wings of the party by dlvid- ing the patronage between them, but will not put men in office who will fight him.
