ling Undtsmayed.
Washington, May 6-The president'
withdrawal of the Conkling New Yorl
nominations and the past. present ant
prospective phases of the whole com
plication in which they figure. are still
the absorbing topics of conversation
and comment in all political circles ol
the capital, and the excitement Of yes
terday, though of course somewhat
abated, has not very perceptibly sub
sided.
Several republican senators called on
the president this morning and urged
him to withdraw Robertson's name as
the best and surest means of harmon
izing the party, arguing that as the
other New York nominations had been
withdrawn, he could not remove the
course OF irritation by making entirely
'snew deal" with the New York pat
ronage which would satisfy both wings
of the party. The president listened to
their argument with calmness. but ad-
hered firmly to his former declaration,
that he could not possibly consent to
anything of the sort. He expressed
himself as sincerely desirous of party
harmony, but thought that it was ask
ing altogether too much of him under
all the circumstances, to withdraw
Judge Robertson's nomination. 1t is
now stated ON good authority, that the
same proposition for withdrawal of
Robertson and s'readjustment'' of all
the New York nominations was made
to him yesterday by Senator Pratt and
Vice President Arthur, prior to his
sending his message to the senate. 1t
is also given out that Senator Conkling
has acknowledged the receipt of the
presidents ultimatum, and does not
indulge in any idea that he will recede
from his position. One of his friends
said to him this afternoon that he be-
lieved the confirmation of Robertson
could be prevented. The reply of the
New York senator was to the effect
that lie did not share this opinion, and
that the matter was not settled by any
means. In short, he expressed himself
as still holding a strong position, and
as being undismayed.
The general belief is that Robertson
will be confirmed during the present
session, If his nomination is brought
before the senate, but the predictions
that this will be accomplished within
the next few days. by means of mo-
tion TO discharge the commerce COM
mittee from.its consideration, are de-
cidedly premature, and will remain so
until the republican caucus shall set
aside its recent ukase, under which all
such icontested'cases were sealed up''
to await further caucus orders. There
ls considerable probability, however,
that another meeting of the caucus will
be called at an early day to take action
on this subject.

railroad. in an interview with rex
porter this evening, regarding the pur-
chase of the Iron Mountain railroad by
the Missouri Pacific, said that he had
heard nothing of the purchase, and
knew nothing except what he had read
in. the newspapers. He did know,
however, that the original plan was to
consolidate the Irion Mountain and
Texas Pacific. Gould does not apprize

The Presidents Latest Move the TepI
Of the Day.

The President's Latest Move she Topic
Of the Day.
New York, May 6.-The Times says:
The withdrawal by the president of the
New York nominations, except that of
Judge Robertson, would be an excel
lent act, II he had found since making
them that the gentlemen named were
unfit for the position. To be sure, 1t
would not be calculated to increase the
peoples confidence in the presidents
certainty Of judgment. or his caution
In reaching . decision, but it would
unquestionabIy add to his reputation
for candor and honesty. A mistake
frankly admitted, aad, while there is
yet time 70 retrace. disarms criticism.
But we are not permitted to accept this
explanation of Garfield's act, and it is
difficult to see where we shall find any
other consistent with his dignity, his
independence or his fidelity to the d.
ties of his high position.
The Sun, from its high moral eleya-
tion, opens its batteries against the
president as follows: This one act re-
duces the rank and position OF the
president of the United States, repre-
sented by James A. Garfield, to that Of
Chatham street dealer in old clothes
and huckster. We do not understand
that the Withdrawal Of the names Of
Woodford, Tenny, Payne, McDougall
and Tyler means any intention on the
part Of the administration to prescribe
any republican element or to encourage
any form Of fractional strife. It
would seem to signify only this. that
while Conkling has declared open hos
tilities against the administration and
boasts that he will effect the rejection
Of Robertson's nomination, the presi-
dent thinks 1t desirable that the result
Of this attack should be made known
before the New York places are filled.
1t may be necessary, In case sufficient
number Of senators should follow
Conkling in his reckless course, to re-
ject this absolutely unobjectionoble
candidate, to mako some further ar
raRgement as to the other Offices, So as
to satisfy the just expectations of that
portion Of the party in the state who
have not surrendered their free will
wholly to Conkllng. The next move
must come from the senator and his
friends, and it must be made in the
senate. The pilgrimages of yesterday,
from the east end to the west end Of
Pennsylvania avenue, to induce the
president to abdicate a portion Of his
functions in favor of one angry sena-
tor were unavailing. It will be useless
to repeat them. The proper objective
point is Conkling. Let his friends in
the senate turn to him with the advice
heretofore suggested. If he wsnts to
put himself in graceful and advan-
tageous position, and at the same time
harmonic all sections of his party in
this state, let him rise in the senate
and move the confirmation Of Robert
son. That will settle the whole diff
Guilty, difficulty. let it always be re-
memered, which is wholly of his own
creation.

The y. Y. Thunderer on the Treaty.
New York, May 6.-Only the Times
has leader ON the ratification Of the
Chinese treaties. It says: With char
acteristic disingenuousness the demo-
Gratis Of the Pacific states, il alarmed at
the prospective disappearance Of the
Chinese question from local politics,
vociferously assailed the immigration
treaty. The democrats Of the senate,
before whom the treaty was laid early
in January last, declined to touch the
matter, and It has now been ratified,
after long delay with scarcely dis
senting voice. The delay, however.
has served to dissipate all appreciable
opposition to the treaty.
Senator Farley, who represents the
democratic objectors, IL there are any,
was specially clamorous for its speedy
ratification.

Henry Ward Beecher ON the Chimes,

New York, May 6.-Henry Ward
Beecher in aslecture last night, speak
ing of the antipathy to the Chinese,
deprecated it, and earnestly said that
the boasted institutions and policy of
America were a shame, If its people
were not willing to have Chinese or
any other people as citizens. So said
Beecher. We will assimilate all people
who come to US. When a lion eats an
OK, the lion does not turn into an OK,
but the OK turns into a lion. So the
immigrant comes to our common
schools, which are the stomachs Of the
country, and he and his children are
assimilated by our people.

London, May 6.-The ship Langdon
picked up on March 31st, thirty miles
off Florida, boat containing the son
of a general in the United States army.
He had been five days without food,
having been blown to sea in a small
open boat.
He says his name is j. w. Gyle, and
that he is son Of Gen. Gyle, and tells
the following story: 1 shipped from
La Toch, March LIST, French port of

servant to the captain. When few
days off the coast we encountered a
hurricane. The vessel was well manned
and had fifty soldiers on board, besides
the officers. The storm lasted over a
week and we sprang a leak. Some of
the crew were killed by falling masts
and some washed overheard. 1 stayed
with the captain, who, with five men,
took to raft. We left the ship at
night. 1t was fast going to pieces and
most of the men had been drowned.
When we left the vessel we had moth

the waves for two weeks. Two of the
party died on the raft of starvation.

GRAPE suGAR-eLucosE, WHAT IS 1rP

the article, but as one inquirer asks

An INGENIOUS ESCAPE.

farmer of Marcngo, Michigan, was
crossing the Kalamazoo River, AZ thai

middle of the channel, where there Is

arms extended ON the Ice IN front, which
was solid; but as most of his body WIS IN

STOCK ON TEXAS RANCHES.

A Texas paper, the San Antonio Ex-
press, says that 1.-The vast herds that have
heretofore roamed the eXpaDsesless prair-
les have been considerably thinned out
by the continuous annual drives to Kan
sas and other places. But what they
lack IN quantity is made up in quality.
The continual grading of the long-horn
with the best of Durhams, Devonshires
and Herfords has greatly improved the
native breed. The building of large
pastures throughout the south and west
has had tendency to correct many evils
that existed among cattle raisers, and al
so gone toward improving the cattle.
These pastures are in nearly every coun-
~ in the west, but the largest are in the
coast counties, and are owned by Messrs.
Coleman x Fulton, OF Rnckport, and
Capts- King Il Kennedy, of Neuces
county, besides numerous others. 1t
would be an impossibility to estimate
the number of cattle now in western
Texas. Horses are raised in great
numbers throughout this section.
Nearly every large cattle owner
has large herds of horses for his own use
but does not enter into II as spec
ialty. The mustang is fast disappear
ing, and a large animal, a cross between
Spanish and American horses, is sup
planting it. The Spanish pony can be
purchased at from $12 up to $50, while
the improved ranges higher. The halt
breed horse is in more demand than any
of the rest on account of it possessing
the toughness of the Sanish pony with
the build Of the American horse, and
because it is great deal cheaper than
the latter. II estimated that there are
over 1000. 900 sheep in this state, and
the majority urc of a superior grade.
The Mexican goat is extensively raised
in the west for its pelt and also for its
meat. Its milk is drank exclusively by
the Mexicans on the ranches in prefer
ence to that of COWS, on account OF its
richness. The Angora or Cashmere
\ goat is being extensively raised, and its
/ pelt is very valuable for rugs. The hair

eight or ten inches. On account of the
immense post oak, live oak and pecan
mast that we have IN the bottom lands o.

The revision of the scriptures, work
