Especial to the SENTINEL

Albany special says there is great commo-
ton among the supporters of Conkling
and Platt tonight, reminding one of the
confused movements of a community Of
ants, on having their habitation disturbed.
.Depew's large gain to-day, and its pros
pective increase Tomorrow, is the cause
of the unwonted excitement. Conkling
and his chief friends had a conference at
the Delevan House, while scores OF their
adherents stood in the hallway near the
room where the conference was held, anx-
iously awaiting the news of the outcome
of the meeting. There were present at
the conference e~x-Senators Conkling and
Plat, Vice-President Arthur, Governor
Cornell, Lewis Payne, Speaker Sharpe,
Richard Crowley and Supt. Deutcher.
The best authenticated statement about
the conference was to the effect that it was
on a%djourning the Legislature without
electing United States Senators. 1t is
said on good authority that this was the
sole object of the talk during the con-
ference. There was a decided difference
of opinion on the subject.
