The Situation at A,bauy,


their candidate. Tuesday next they viii de-
velope their tactics.
Everything indicates that there will be no
caucuses. 1t is very hard work to get fifty
signatures to call for caucus, and there is
plainly observable a lack Of confidence
among the stalwarts.
1t is not dscoverable where Cornell stands
He talks only with Conkling and Arthur.
His manner has changed decidedly since they
have been in the city.
Some members express indignation at the
methods employed by ConBliDg to get their
votes, but many have been strengthened in
his support.
1t is claimed that Conkling came here on
false representation, and greatly regrets it
now.
PooH-PooHED BY THE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, May 26th.-Ga1feld char
acterizes as ridiculous the story that he ad-
vised the return of Conkling and Platt, with
the understanding that they should not an
tagonize the Administration.
DisSracefuI Spectacle.
New York, May 26sh.-The Posts AL.
bany special says: A most disgraceful spec
tacle is made by Conkling in the corridors OF
the Delavan House, asking members for their
votes. Conkliug says: II have been a Re.
publican ever since the party was organized,
and things have now come to a pretty pass il
I'm to be read out of the party because
can't agree with the Administration"
The TriJnne's special Gays: Conkling has
bitter words only for Blaine, whom he &C.
cuses OF setting up the press against him, and
even writing articles for the papers to hi;
detriment. He makes the surprising state
Republicans with Malone, but yielded to the
Administrations wishes on the subject.
A well-informed Republican said to-day
that he believed Conkling was solemnly pre-.
sented with the Grant Club address which he
himself wrote, and in which he is depicted as
the savior of his country.
What Was Seen Through 4 Window nj
Albany.
NEW York, May 26th.-The Tribune,
Albany special says: Several members OF the
Assembly. who were standing opposite the
Delavan House during last evening, witnessed
a strange scene. ln a little room on the first
floor they saw Conkling pacing the floor as il
mad with rage. He was vehemently talking
with some person who sat further back in the
room curiously watching him. They saw
him in his anger pound the table with his
fists and toss his arms in the air as with i'm.
precautions. Later in the evening they heard
| that Conkiing had been greatly angered by
publican members to attend Senatorial
caucus did not contain the names of major.
ity of Republican members of the Legislature
1t was limited that he had bitterly reproached
some eminent person for not securing more
names. The extraordinary efforts sfterward
put forth were said to have been due to this
explosion of anger.
THE VICTIM OF Combines WRATH.
NEw YORK. May 265h.-The Tribune.
Albany special says: The fact has leaked out,
and it is creating some excitement among
those who kaow it, that the man Ccnl,ling wa;
! angrily denouncing in the extraordinary
scene, was no other than Vice President Ar.
thur. Elk Senator Conkling's utterance:
were so vehement that they seem to have
Travelled far enough to be heard by persons
near at hand. 1t is understood that he said,
among other things, "You have subjected
me to three defeats ct the hands of one mar
| in twelve months" apparently meaning Judge
ington and Albany) "There were three
things" he said, you should have done, and
none OF them have been done" Here he
enumerated them. 81 You have dragged me
up here. I am like ward politician,
trying to carry caucus. Ihe
fact that Mr.. Conkling hes been
quarreling with MS friend is considered a
strong proof that he knows bis case to be
very hopeless. Rumors of the reported scene
between Mr.. Conkling and Vice-President
Arthur spread SO rapidly that the hotels were
soon full of it, and word got back to them
General Arthur and Mr.. Conkling both denied
with some vehemence that any such occur
renee had taken place. A few minutes later
Conkling snd General Arthur walked down
the stairs in the Delavan House arm in arm,
and went out on the street for a block, then
came back arm-in- arm and vanished up stairs
An Unlikely RumOr-Fntcf OF the Trouble
on ihe Ohio Election.
WASHINGTON, May 26th.-Ii is rumored
that Piatt, believing that he embarrasses
Conkling, viii decline to be o candidate for
reelection.
Ohio politicians cay there are so few Conk-
ling Republicans in Ohio that the New York
fight will not affect the coming election there.
Randall Taking n Hand.
WASHINGTON, May 26tf.. - Ex-Speaker
Randall has gone to Albany to advife the
democrats. by invitation. He hopes to either
get one Democratic Senator or prevent any
election by this Legislature. He prefers
Cooking to any other Republican, and
doubtless the Democrats will support him as
against any other Republican.
racine NAN
of The President.
New York, May 26h.-At meeting of
the Pacific Mail Company yesterday l60. UiO
or more Of the 200, 000 shares of the company
were represented. The Presidents report OF
the business of the company for the year end
ing April 30. 1881, shows that the impetus
given to the building of railroads and devel-
opment OF mines in Mexico had greatly in
creased the business, and this, with the STEADY
growth and production of the Central Amer
lean States, requires considerable increase
of tonnage to take the place of ships that
have grown useless from long use and loss IN
running. The want of tonnage has been SO
serious a matter that although ore vessel has
been chartered ut an expense OF S90, 00U per
annum, the company was etill without
spare ship to take the place of any OF those
engaged in the service should an accident &C.
cur to any of them. Fortunately for the
company's wants, the managers of the Bra
lillian line having concluded to give up that
service. the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
have become the purchasers OF their two
steamships, City Of Rio de Janeiro and City
of Para. The last named vessel Will take
the place of the Crescent City between New
York and Aspinwall, and the Rio de Janeiro
will be put on tho route between San Fran,
cisco and Panama. The Crescent City and
whatever vessel the Rio dc Janelro may sup
plant will be held in reserve.
President Houston recommended the build
ing of three additional steamers Of about :, GOO
tons burden each, to strengthen the conpa-
ny's lines on the Mexican and Central Amer
lean coast. He said I'VE are aware of the
intention on the part of shippers to put
steamers on this coast unless we have vessels
enough to perform the service, which has not
been the case for the last two years" He
thought the money invested in the China line
would be more remunerative if it was trans.
ferred from that trade and devoted to devel-
oping the trade of the Pacific coast from San
Francisco to Valparaiso.
Negotiations have been pending for some
time for the transfer Of the two China ships
to the Union and Central Pacific Railroad
Companies, but the terms have not yet been
agreed upon.
During tine year the United States Su-
preme Court has rendered a decision award
ing 1921, G66 &C to the company for mail
service to China under the contract of 1873.
which was summarily terminated By Con-
gress in 1875.
