THE GREAT CONTEST.
The President Determined to Stick
to Robertson.
MR.. COMBINES ALLEGED PLAN OF
WARFARE.

WASHINGTON, May THE latest Conkling
notion is said to be to induce the Senate to ask
the President to furnish reasons for the re-
moval of Mr.. Merritt Collector OF New York
The Senate has the right to demand the
reasons before proceeding to the consideration
of the confirmation of Robertson. There have
been few instances in our history when this
has been done. In the early days of the Re
public President Washington appeared in the
Senate chamber to explain why a certain man
was nominated to be collector at Savannah
Senator Conkling also succeeded under the
Hayes administration in securing volumin-
GUS document explaining why Gen. rthur
was removed. This subject with others, will
probably be called to the attention of the Re-
publican caucus. There are a great many
speculatIons as to the probable course OF Sena-
tor Conkling. One is that he contemplates an
adjournment sine die, motion that could not
prevail. Another is that he will assume such
steps as to drive the administration
to the Democrats for support. 1t
is intimated that Senator John Sherman is to
tration hereafter in the Republican caucus and
in the Senate. The President is quoted as not
being pleased with the attitude of the commit
tee of seven.
A friend and confident of the President was
asked today what he intended to do. Stick"
was this reply. "Have you talked with him
ttoday?,, eyes, this morning" "What does
he say?" "He says he is President of the
United States and does not intend to have his
policy dictated by Senator Conkling." "Doss
the pressure to withdraw Mr.. Robertson con-
tinue?" "Oh, yes; about dozen Senators
were in to see him oday Some of them begged
to have Mr.. Robertson withdrawn and thus re-
store harmony in the party" "What did the
President say?" "The same reply to all, as 1
understand. He told them that he had nom
mated Mr.. Robertson. and his name would re-
main still on file or be rejected The Senate
could not dodge the ISSUE"
The National Republican has the following:
SIT is understood that President Garfield will
withdraw the nomination of Mr.. Elmer of
New York as Second Assistant Postmaster
General on Monday. Mr.. Elmer, it
will de remembered, is personal friend of
Senator Platt of New York. and was appointed
at that gentleman's earnest solicitation

THE SUGAR IMPORTERS.

An Important Conference in New York.
NEW YORK, May S.-A conference of Off
GERS OF the government and sugar importers
was held in this city last week The present
appraisers, j. G. Howard, Prof. Edward Sher-
er, chief government chemist of New York;
Special Agents Ira Aver, Jr., G. G. Adams
s. G. Chamberlain; General Appraisers
Brigg, H. Hayes and Meredith; Appraiser ex-
Gov. Perham and Special Deputy Collector
Moulton of Portland, Me-; Appraiser W. l..
Rice and Assistant Reyes of Boston; APP
praiser j. L. Leuthcum of altmore; Assist
ant Appraiser W. M. Cow of Philadelphia;
Deputy Collector Pendleton of New Haven;
Assistant Appraiser Hay aud Examiners Tut
tie and Remsen together with sugar importers
from Baltimore, Boston and Portland were
present. Appraiser Howard presided over the
conference. The principal object of the meet
ing was to compare methods of classification of
sugars at the different points by the Dutch
standard; sampling; testing by polariscope;
estimation of damage and allowance therefor;
methods OF distinguishing between syrup of
cane juice and molaSses and to recommend to
the Treasury department adoption of such reg
ulations in regard to these points as would Sc
cure uniformity of practice aud in tho results
attained at the different points.
The impression somehow got abroad that one
of the results of the conference would be the
raising of the classi6cations of sugars, but APP
praiser Howard says the contrary result will
be obtained and that there will be a general
lowering instead of raising in classification of
sugars as direct result of the conference, the
desired end of the deliberations being to arrive
at a standard of practice just and equitable
alike to importer and government. The ques-
ton of fixed and proper definition of cane
juice and molasses alter some discussions was
referred to a committee of five of which Prof
Sherer was made chairman.

Republican National Committee has issued a
circular inviting expressions of opinion from
Republicans throughout the country in regard

LONDON, May THE Globe of today
says: The statement in this MORN

peers will meet on Monday to ratify the Sc
lection of Lord Salisbury for the leadership
which they have made is premature and mis-
leading. That arrangement may possibly be
accepted, but as it is the very one the Stan
dard has been supporting through thick and
thin we may be excused for suggesting that the
wish is father to the thought. The question of
who shall lead the party is not now an issue.
The question of who shall lead in the House of
Lords will be decided at Mondays meeting
Until that meeting nobody is authorized to
make any announcement on the subject. 1t is
to be noted that the Globe is or was in part Sir
Stafford Northcote's property.
