GarneId VS.. ConkIinx and Grant.

Washington, March 25. : Several
friends of the president are giving an
Interpretation to the nomination OF
Robertson as collector of New York.
They declare it to be in the nature of a
declaration of Independence on the part
of the president, from dictation from
the Conkling element. Their under
standing is that Conkling indicated not
only that he desired the control Of the
offices which were given to him in the
first batch of nominations, but that he
was looking eventually to control the
New York custom house as well. To
this last demand the nomination Of
Robertson is declared to be in the
nature of most explicit answer.
Whether this report is true or not,
the practical effect of the nomination is
the same as if the version were correct.
Conkling is reported to look upon the
matter as a declaration of war.
A prominent Grant man, referring
to the recent nominations, said that
while the administration appears to
have given Gen. Grant consideration, it
really has denied him the only two
requests he asked. These requests,
this gentleman said, were, that Gen.
Badeau should be retained as consul
general in London, and that John Rus
sell Young should be sent as minister to
Mexico. Gen. Badeau will not be re-
tained at London, where his salary and
fees from the auxiliary consulates and
unofficial fees aggregate an income of
S12, 900. and he has been sent to Den
mark, where the fixed salary is 5000,
and in a much more expensive city,
where, also, he will be denied the facil-
tiles which he desired for the compile.
tion of his book John Russell Young,
too, is not to be sent as minister to
Mexico, and it does not now appear
that any personal friend of Gen. Grant
will go there. Gen. Hurlbut, Of Illi-
nois, expects that he Is booked for that
position.
Philadelphia, March 25.-The Led
GERS New York correspondent says:
An intimate friend of Conkling assures
me that the difference between Conk-
ling and Robertson is of a personal as
we'll as political nature, and Of kind
not to be reconciled by any considera-
tion of party expediency. They do not
even speak to each other. One thing
is certain: If the president does not
beat a retreat from the nomination.
there will be serious trouble in the
republican camp. 1t will not be long
in coming.

New York, March 25.-Judge Spier,
of the New York superior court, grant
ed an injuntion restraining the North
ern Pacific from issuing any of the
1870, 900 shares of common stock, which
the executive committee Of the direc-
tors decided to issue. Henry Willard,
one of the chief managers of the Ore
gon navigation company, and Of the
,,blind pool" obtained the injunction.
San Francisco, March 25.-Henry
Willard, of the Oregon Navigation s.
Railway company, has sent special
dispatch to the Portland (Oregon) Ore
gonian about the Northern Pacific rail-
road matters, in which he says: "All
that you have said regarding our OBJ
tanning control of the Northern Pacific
is substantially true. A fund Of S12,-
100000 was made up in January, of
which the s'blind pool" contributed
Sc, 900, 900, the remaining S4, ZOO, 900
being provided by loans to the rool.
With $10, 200, 900 of this money we se-
cured control of s27. 900, 600 of common
and preferred stock, thus making an
absolute majority. In order to concil.
late the existing interests. L went to
President Billings, told him frankly
what had done, and invited him and
his friends to come into the combina-
tion or to sell out to me at their own
prices. He declined to do either.
Thereupon gave him to understand
that would have to make up an abso-
lutte majority against him. He ex-
pressed great anxiety to come to har-
monious understanding with our inter-
ests, saying, among other things, that
we ought to have an immediate repre-
sentation on the board.
At the request of some of his direct
ors prepared and printed u statement
of our views as to what the relations Of
the two companies should be. This
statement was submitted to the
Northern Pacific board last Thursday,
and special committee appointed to
consider and make recommendation
upon the relations Of the two COM
panies. On Friday last, however, af-
ter the adjournment of full board
meeting and the departure of most Of
the out town members, Billings called
the remaining members of the execu-
tive board secretly together and pre-
vailed on them to pass resolutions di-
recting the immediate issue of
over s15, ,0oo, 900 of common stock still in
the hands Of the company, the object
being, OF course, to maintain Billings
and friends in power. No notice
whatever Of the proposed issue was
given to the other directors, three OF
whom have, already denounced this
proceeding officially as IN outrage.
which fact 1 am authorized to publish.
Billings appropriated to himself Is, 900
shares and his confederates many
J Thousand shares cash.

Erie, Pa, March 25.-Miss Kate
Lehan, girl 16 years of age. was
frightfully burned to-day. Her CLOTH
ing caught FIRE while she was cooking
dinner, and she rushed out into the
open air and ran wildly about until
everything but her shoes was burned
off. Then she walked back into the
house and fell in swoon. Excepting
her face, which was slightly burned, the
skin was entirely burned off her body.
She quietly endures her safferings,
prayerfully expecting death.

Overflow of the Platte Near North
Bend

Omaha, March 25.-The overflow Of
the Platte river in the vicinity of North
Bend is much more serious and extern
sive than at FIRST reported. The new
wagon bridge across the north channel
of the river floated away at O'Clock to-
night, part of it lodging on the prairie.
and the balance swinging on the river
bank. 1t was new and expensive
structure. The country is covered with
water for miles and miles around North
Bend, and the water is three feet deep
in the town, the people being obliged to
go from place to place in boats. About
dark an additional rise Of one foot in
ten minutes occurred, but it has since
gone down about eight inches. The
extent of the damage cannot now be
estimated.
Tho Papillion river, about Is miles
west of Omaha, is rising rapidly, and
endangers the Union Pacific bridge at
Gilmore.

60 or 70 years old, are utterly ruined.
There has been ice four inches thick

Chicago, March 25.-The story told
by detectives in New York, Of the ar
rest of Chicago woman for heavy
diamond theft, is largely overdrawn.
The amount involved is only 5000, not
1000, and the case hardly rises to the
dignity Of a sensation. The woman in
question is Mrs. DR.. Ward, and the
victimized diamond broker is Mr..
Perkins, who had frequently loaned her
money, and on the occasion referred to
loaned her ring which he wore, to
which she took fancy. She immedi-
ately raised $3.50 on it from disreput-
able pawnbroker and disappeared. The
ring has been recovered. Her family
connections are not particularly dis.
tinpuished.

ireland md scotInnd.

London, March 25.-At meeting in
this city tonight, Parnell said it was
desirable to form an organization in
England and Scotland for the purpose
of forwarding the objects of the land
league, but it was not intended to COM
pete with the home rule confederation,
which would still remain in existence.
The English land question, he thought,
was at present not rife for settlement,
but anything achieved in Ireland would
favorably affect the laboring classes of
England and Scotland. 1t was i'm
possible for the government to finally
settle the Irish land question, but any
proposals tending to ameliorate the
condition of the Irishmen, would be ac-
cepted.
BY the means proposed they could las
in America, educate public opinion in
England and Scotland. Money, he said,
is flowing from America to Ireland at
the rate of e400 weekly.
Resolutions were adopted to consti-
tute a national land league of Great
Britain with Justin Mccarthy as pres
ident, to assist the Irish land league to
reduce the rack rents and enable the
Irish tenant farmers to become owners
of their holdings at reasonable terms.
That the best way to attain these OBJ
jects is by taking practical steps to cul-
tivate English pnblic opinion.

The Annexation OF Tunis to Err


London, March 25.-The Ners says:
We believe the following is an authen-
tic statement of the Tunis incident:
When the conservatives were arranging
the acquisition Of Cyprus, France men,
toned the possibility of Tunis some day
being open to annexation. Lord Sails
bury, then foreign secretary, thereupon
made statements which the French
ministry construed as an understanding
that England would not object to the
annexation of Tunis by France. When,
some time later, the question cropped
out, Salisbury disclaimed this construc-
tion Of the meaning, but France alleges
that she is in possession of some private
letters from Salisbury confirming her
view of the correspondence.
