Especial to the SENTINEL
New York, June pa Tribune special
says Senator Conkling, who was in Wash
ington yesterday, telegraphed to Plat that
he would reach this city this afternoon.
Plat and Conkling will go to Albany to-
night to continue their hopeless fight for
the senatorships which they resigned.
Vice President Arthur will also return to
the State capital to assist Conkling in any
way he may direct. The relations between
Plat and Vice President Arthur have not
been very cordial since Plat defeated
Crowley in the race for the Senatorship
last winter. Therois also Stalwart authority
for the statement that Conkling and Plat
are not as cordial in their relations as the
public might suppose. They frequently
go to Albany on trains only a few hours
apart, and return in the same way, appar-
emily without purpose, not being thrown
together any more than is necessary. A
friend Of Conkling said yesterday The
ex-senator depended a good deal upon the
Vice Presidents assistance, and very little
on anything Platt might do. 1t appears
that Vice President Arthur charges the
downfall of the machine upon Plat. He
says Plat, to make sure of the defeat Of.
Crowley to the Senate, and secure his own
election last winter, entered into an agree
ment with the Administration Republicans
to support Judge Robertson to any Office
for which the President might nominate
him. This was made known to the Presi-
dent, and General Arthur is understood to
have said that without this agreement
Judge Robertson would not have been
nominated Collector until the question had
been first discussed with Conkling, who
would not have been felt called upon to re-
sign. Ex-senator Conkling now, it is said,
begins to view this matter in somewhat the
same light as the Vice President, and there
are rumors growing Of a willingness on his
part to make Plat a scapegoat.
Breaking Down the Land Leagues.
New YORK, June 27.-The Herald says,
respecting the reason for Mr.. Parnell and
other Land Leaguers' intended visit to
America, our Dublin correspondent sends
the following: San attempt is being made
by the Government, and not without sue
cess, to break down the power Of the Land
League by increasing its financial burden
to such an extent that 1t will finally be I'M
able to bear it. The Government ID doing
its best to ruin the League by arresting
dozens of the branch officials, whose main
tenance will fall on the funds Of the Gen.
trail Executive Committee. Within the past
five days SO men intimately connected with
the working of County Branches have
been arrested under the Coercion Act.
Each represents an additional charge on
the funds Of three guineas q week, and as
many have families, half as much may be
added for their support. The moving
spirit in this policy is Mr.. Forster. That
gentleman when he last left Dublin Castle
was quite jubilant over the financial flags
Of distress which the League was begin
ming to hoist, and with a light heart he
handed over the work to Mr.. Burke, the
Permanent Under Secretary. The results
Of the daily raids are telling severely on
the Land Leagues funds. Hence the res
olution Of the Leagues Executive Com
mittee to make another effort to obtain
money"
The Albany situation.
New YORK. June 27.-An Albany dis
patch says: The decision made by the chair
to-day that a quorum was present in joint
convention was a genuine surprise to the
Democrats, and they showed 1t was evident
that they had been calculating upon having
less than a quorum, and meant to use that
fact for the purpose Of raising the question
as to whether without q quorum there could
be a ballot, and IT any day passed without
. ballot whether that fact did not ~disqualify
the present Legislature from electing q
Senator and throw the question over to the
Legislature to be elected next fall, thus
taking the question to the polls under the
United States statute which ordains that
the Legislature shall take at least one ballot
every day in its session.
The Graphic, in referring TO the above,
says the act of Congress regulating the
election of United States Senators specifies
that a quorum of each House shall be nee
essary to form q legal joint convention.
The incident of to-day furnishes an excuse
for the Democratic majority of the Federal
Senate to reject any one who may hereafter
be reelected A. Senator by the present Leg.
islature.
The sitting Commission.
New YoRK, June 27.-The Herald's Lon
don correspondent says: The commission
now sitting in the Transvaal Is making .
pretence Of getting the form Of British su-
premacy over the territory, but the Beers
still maintain their independent govern
ment, and the Ministry will seize the first
opportunity TO withdraw and leave the
peasants in peaceable possession. The
!" Loyalists" in the Transvaal who, like all
Englishmen who settle abroad, are tories,
keep up q steady wall about the loss OF
British prestige and so forth, but Is they
have presented q heavy bill for pay for the
Of their property during the
war. nobody pays much attention to them.
