Washington. May 5.-The following
nominations were withdrawn to-day:
Woodford, McDongall, Payne, and
.renny, and the attorneys and marshal
for the northern and southern districts
of New York.
The president stated in his message
that Robertson's name was not with
drawn. The nomination Of John Ty-
ler for the Buffalo collectorship was
also withdrawn. The message gave no
explation or comment.
1t was first believed that Robertson
had been withdrawn. This is an open
declaration of war by the president
against Conkling. Last night, in con-
sultation with friends, the president
said he was determined to make an ag-
gressive fight, which he might inaugu-
rate to-day. He intends to keep it up.
and will use every effort to confirm
Robertson.

American and E.xl,-A Literature

London. May 5.-Earl Granville re-
Gently addressed dispatch to Lowell.
American minister, on the subject of
copyright, saying it should be satisfac-
tory to England if treaty could be
negotiated with America Oh the same
basis as with other countries, namely,
without any condition for the manufae-
ture Of English books in America, but
If this condition is essential England
will negotiate on this basis. A treaty
providing that books written by Amer
lean authors in England shall be manu-
factured in America, in order to have a
copyright there, would be covered by
the existing act, but if it provides that
books written by American authors in
American shall be manufactured IN
England. in order to have a copyright
in England, such provision would re-
quire the sanction of parliament.
Lowell replied as follows: A treaty
confirmed by the senate would be law
In America.

All quiet Along the Yakon.

Washington, May 5.-Commander
Henry Glass, commanding the James
town, reports to the navy department,
from Sitka, that affairs in the territory
Of Alaska are in most satisfactory
condition. Perfect quiet reigns, and
the Indians show every disposition to
be at peace. Since the date Of his last
report he has succeeded in having trea-
ties signed between the Stickeena and
Hoochenoo tribes, and between the
Stickeena and Sitkas, thus ending all
feuds, which in one case had been in
existence over fifty years. The chiefs
showed desire to make peace, and to
abandon their former custom OF exact
ing satisfaction in kind for every inju-
ry. He thinks the treaties will be
faithfully observed.

How the News Was Received ut san
Francisco.

EruuclBeo.
San Francisco, May 5.-The ratifica-
tion of the Chinese immigration treaty
by the senate to-day was received with
quiet but universal satisfaction. The
recent increase in Chinese immigrants,
nearly three thousand within the last
six weeks, with another thousand on
the steamer due tomorrow, has caused
uneasiness on the Pacific Coast and it
was feared that another delay to ratify
the treaty would allow Of perfect in
undation of this undesirable element.
With but few exceptions. the people
here think the treaty win put an end to
the present great influx of Cinnamon.
The Ere',ing Bulletin independently
says, regarding the action of the SEN
ate: The treaty provides way for the
Limitation of Chinese immigration.
The one long step in advance leads to
the next one, namely, the necessary
legislation on the part of congress.
that is secured, great and beneficient
work will have been accomplished. An
earnest and united Pacific Coast dele
CATION can now secure such limit to
Chinese immigration as will amount to
prohibition. When no more than fifteen
Chinese immigrants are permitted to
land from any one ship, We shall have
no record Of fortnightly arrival of
Thousand, and of going into quarantine
because they have brought with them
one of the most deadly diseases known
in the history of the world.

LIEUT.. sCHwATKA.
The Famous Arctic Explorer Among
his Old Comrades.

Ohnhha Herald, OF wednesday.
Lieut.. Frederick Schwatka, U. S. A,
the famous Arctic explorer, arrived at
Omaha on Monday night, and is visit
ing his old army comrades and old
friends among the citizens for a day or
two. The lieutenant has grown trifle
stout since he left Fort Omaha. and the
rigors of the exploration have left
their traces upon his stalwart form.
But he is the embodiment Of life and
geniality, and it is difficult to realize
that he has been gone SO long and
passed through SO much.
Last evening Herald representative
had the pleasure Of meeting the lieuten-
ant for brief talk.
"When were you in Omaha last, lieu
tenant?" was asked.
~ was first in Omaha eighteen years
ago, going with my parents to Oregon,
from Galena, ILL.,, where was born; as
the old saying is, one Of the Galena
ring. 1 was appointed to West Point
from Oregon. I was at Fort Omaha
eight years ago."

Omaha?"

whole having cost England seven ships
and two million pounds, and America
about half million dollars. 1t was
gone two years and three months from
America, starting from New York"

lieutenant modestly, 81 supposed 1 had

sDid you trust to luck for the rest?'
asked the newspaper man, incautiously
"Well, no; trusted to eight breecl
leaders and 5000 rounds of metalli,
ammunition with power to increas'
to 10000 if necessary. We killet
522 reindeer, about 75 seal, fiv'
polar bears, four musk oxen and half I
dozen wolves. We went over the who'll

"What do you think of the Jeanette

81 suppose she is safe within tn
limit of ordinary possibility. The re

son will go through yet, as Nordjensk

"What are your present plans9"

The lieutenant has not further de
fined his plans. He is still connecte
with the military department of tn

The Back Down-what Papers Say.

New York, May 5.-The World calls
it republican back down, and says:
Dawes staggering speech yesterday
will not conceal from anybody, not
even Dawes himself, the fact that he
and his colleagues have been beaten
into attending to public business by the
democratic senator's. By going into
executive session the republican sena-
tors admit that they have been in the
wrong and the democratic senators in
the right from the beginning of the
session.
The Herald says: The democrats
have held their own from the outset
with remarkable tenacity; they have
held their position as unconditional and
revolutionary as that of Parnell in his
policy Of obstruction in the house Of
commons.

Chicago, May 5.-A Washington spe-
cial says: There are reports that Gen.
Sherman is not quite cordial towards
Secretary Lincoln, because the latter
consults himself and Sheridan rather
than him (Sherman). The Office which
Sherman holds is sort of fifth wheel
on a wagon, and the duties and re-
sponsibilities of the position are not
clearly defined. 1t is hard to tell
where the responsibility of the secre-
tary of war begins and that Of the
general Of the army ends. The
office will expire at the death or re-
tirement of Sherman. and probably will
not be renewed again. Gen. Sherman,
however took no active part, but fav-
ored the election of Gen. Hancock in
the recent presidential contest. This
fact has never been disputed.
The story is that the republican
leaders were alarmed about his attitude
and feared he would make some public
declaration to the ex-soldiers of the
country which would influence many Of
them to vote for Hancock, and thus
endanger the cause in States like New
York and Indiana. Sherman is very
popular with the soldier element, hay

Friends.

Washington, May 5.-The message
of the president, Withdrawing the
nominations which are regarded as be-
longing to the stalwart arm of the
party, is the only object of public inter-
est here tonight. Everybody is taking
and speculating about it. The presi-
dent is firm and determined. He has
been urged by close friends for some
time to take aggressive measures, but he
hesitated. hoping that some way of
maintaining harmony in the party con-
sistent with his honor and dignity
might be found. He could not surren-
der any particle of his executive pre-
rogative by Withdrawing Robertson or
consenting to any compromise. He ex,
pressed himself on all occasions as
anxious to do full justice to both wings
of the New York republicans. When
Conkling carried through the republi-
can caucus his policy, which was direct
ly antagonistic to that of the admins
tration, with regard to Robertson, the
president felt impelled to take some
action.
Vice President Arthur and Senator
Plstt were at the White House this
morning by the Presidents request. He
talked frankly to them. When the
president learned positively that moth
ing short Of permitting Robertson's
nomination to be unacted upon would

what he intended to do. When the

steamships and Taxation.

New York, 10. -On the subject of tax
ing the Pacific Mail in New York or in
Rocklsnd County, the Herald inter
viewed Edward Lauterbach, counsel for
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. He
has the utmost confidence in his case,
for, he said, we gave the tax commission
ers formal notice more than nine months
ago, and more than six months prior to
the passage of the act Of 1881, that our
office was in ClRrkestoTD, Rockland
County, and that therefore we could not
be legally taxed. Happily the act of
1881, which is intended as an amend
ment, doing away with the smbiguity of
the act of 1880, relieves US Of taxation
for fifteen years to come, and the only
question now is whether we shall pay
tax of about SI00, 600 this year. 1 think
we have clear case. Now look at the
unequal comparison between American
and English ships. Lsuterbach contin-.
ued. English ships are subsidized; ours
are not. American ships have been
taxed; English ships are free. The
American shipping commissioner su-.
thorizes Us TO take sixty men
as employees the English ships
have only thirty. Our consular fees
are more Than thres times what those
British ships are. Tuey have free ships.
and We have had TO pay for protected
ships. Our laws had driven the Ameri-
can flag from New York whsrVes, until
you could hardly see it twice on trip
from the Battery to the Wander bilt EIe-
visitor. Let US instance a case in point.
The Atlas Steamship Company, our COM
petiior, Is tsxed $3.50 on It's furniture; the
Pacific Mail Company, meantime, is
taxed about $40 600. The act of '6I, re-
lieving steamships that are registered at
this port. will bring commerce back, and
we shall no longer be mere cipher in
the commerce of the world. It viii give
employment to 10000 men in this city
alone. Massachusetts, Pennsylvanis and
Delaware had abolished taxation on their
ships, and their ports had begun to profit
by the intelligent legislation Of these
states before New York could be per-
suaded to remove the unequal burden
from American ships sailing from her
once great seaport. At length the legis-
lature was persuaded to make the ex-
pertinent, and the act Of 81 exemp pts
from all assessments and all taxation, for
either state or local purposes. steamship
com panies' capital stock, from the lst Of
June last. This exemption is for steam
ships registered in New York. Already
