An alleged mad dog, said to be the property
OF an alleged butcher on Atlantic avenue. is
said to have broken his chain yesterday after
noon and attacked the alleged daughter of Her
man Jcst, who claims to be cigar maker on
that street. The girl who is reported by her pa
rentsto be eleven years of age, states that she
made every effort to escape the fangs of the al
legged dog, but appears to have failed. The
butcher was attracted by the cries of the alleged
girl, and after much difficulty rescued her from
the jaws of the animal. An ambulance, SO Po-
lice Officer Ryan reports, was Immediately
sent for, and the surgeon was promptly on the
spot. He stated to the writer that the teeth of
the dog penetrated the muscles of the unfortu-
nate girls alleged left leg, Just below what he
calls the knee, and it is feared by DR.. Wem
bleshuysen, who was called later, that the
wound will be painful, if not necessarily dam

that the dog was shot 1t will be remembered
by our readers that the alleged butcher, whose
name could not be learned, was arrested some
sixteen months ago for an alleged assault on

Interview with Col Fred A. Conkling.)
My brother is disguised with politics and has
been for long time. He has often told me
how sick he was of the whole business and how
anxious to get out of it. He finds he can't
trust politicians. If not returned he will
practice law. He can make 100000 a year.
He is the best living lawyer. He is a better
lawyer than Webster. But if he goes out of
office he will not 60 out Of politics. He will

He will be disappointed at Albany. A care

the anti-Grant Republicans will refuse to 90

Democrats and twenty-five Republicans in the
state Senate. Fourteen of the Republicans

there are forty-six Democrats, one Independ-

AT ALBANY.
Administration Men Confident of
Winning.
COMBINES FRIENDS SAY HE is NOT
A CANDIDATE.

ALBANY, N. Y, May i9.-1he Governor
has officially notified the legislature to-day
that the Senatorial offices of the State were
vacant.
The Senatorial situation today is unchangeds
The administration Republicans say they are
ready to go into an election to fill the vacan-
cies, but will have nothing TO do with any eau
GUS They feel perfectly able to defeat the re-
turn of either .Conkling or Platt, unless the
Democrats go with the other side, but they
will take the chances, believing If the Demo-
Gratis fuse with the Conklingites they Will beat
both at the polls next fall. The Conklingites
are strongly in favor of going into an election
az soon as possible, and say Conkiing is out of
the race; that he will not be candidate. The
Democrats are opposed to an election, claim
Ing that the question should be lett to the
people to decide at the next election The
probability is that there will be an election
without any pieliminars caucus on the part of
the Republicans. Gov. Cornell and Chauncey
M. Depew are mentioned as candidates on the
part OF the Republicans.
Chauncey M. Depew, in his speech at the
serenade to Robertson last night, referred to
the fact that Robertson was during the anti
slavery agitation, % years ago, hung in effigy
for casting the turning vote which sent VIM
ID. Seward to the United States Senate. The
record he then made he has been true to ever
since, and when the President of the United
States selected him for the principal federal
Office of the State of New York, he selected
one of the most distinguished citizens that has
ever brought honor to the Empire State The
Republican party has lived through many
storm, and it survives to-day as serene in its
mission, as secure in its integrity, and as con-
tident OF its future as it ever was at any time of
its history
The State of New York tenders to the Pre-
sldent OF its choice its congratulations upon
his selection of VIM. HI. Robertson to fill the
highest federal office within the State. It
tenders to the President OF it's choiba its con-
graduation upon the Unanimous confirmation
by the advisory body, the United States Sem
ate, OF the gentleman he selected to administer
the duties of the high office. 1t tenders to the
President of its choice for the four years to
come the hearty, earnest support of all meas
ures in the interest and welfare of the country
and the perpetuity of Republican principles.
The action of Gov. Cornell in notifying
both branches of the legislature this morning
OF tho resignation of Conkling and Platt sets at
rest all doubts as to the day for the election of
their successors According to the Revised
Statutes this occurs on the second Tuesday
