Hamburg's Free Port Privileges.

LONDON. May 80 "A Berlin correspond.
ent says: "On finding his annexation de-
signs resisted by the Hamburg Senate and
House Of Burgesses and by the Reichstag,
Prince Bismarck quickly concluded treaty
which leaves Hamburg In possession OF It's
coveted free port privileges. The only
change effected is the restriction to smaller
area OF the privilege hitherto extending
over the entire Hamburg territory,
but as the area retaining the priyi-
ege il large enough for all purposes
OF international commerce everything re-
mains in Stdtu quo except that the docks,
warehouses, ana factories dependent upon
tariff lmmunities must he transferred to
within the diminished free port district.
Whether the alteration Is worth 100000
pounds, the expenses Of which Hamburg
and the German Parliament must each de-
fray one-half, is a question which they must
decide"

FRIGHTENING.

THE CHANCES OF C0NKLING AND PLATr NOT
FRIGHTENING.
ALBANY, May 30.-Vice- President Ar.
thur, ex-Senators Conkling and Pl,tt and
several other leading stalwarts. reached this
city this morning, and are stopping at the
Delevan House. There are very few men,
bers OF the Legislature in the city, and
there Is no excitement.
|. The suggestion Is made In some quarters
that the Legislature take recess until after
the November election and then come to-
gether again and vote for two United States
senators. 1t IL said that then members can
vote more independently OF influences
which now govern them, for the reason that
they would know the disposition OF their
constituencies toward them. IL they were
renomlnated aud reelected, then they would
understand that their respective positions
now on the question were approved; II
they are not renomina'ed or not elected,
they can vote accordingly. This plan is
attributed to the stalwarts. The Adminis-
tration supporters hugh at this proposition
as entirely insufficient. They say they do not
want TO consider any plans Just now All
they want is vote in joint session-no eau
Gus, no plans, no machine contrivances
whatever. II COnklIng and Piatt cannot get
the now requisite eighty votes, owing to the
absence of I. s. Carpenter, they say they will
accept their defeat. They do not claim as
vet that there Will be eighty votes against
the resigning senators. The fact Is, no one
knows certainly how the vote will stand.
The Administration section claim every
member who has requested that his name
be taken from the call for caucus as an
opponent OF Conkling. The sialwarls at
the start put down some ninety names OF
members on their call for a caucus, and
these names crumbIed away until the list
contained only a minority, or some fifty
names. But those who withdrew their
names, or most all Of them, never signed
paper o,tracising ConkliDg and Plat.
THE LATEST.
ALBANY, n. Y, May 30.-The Admins
tralion men were jubiant this evening over
the fresh acceSsions to their ranks. Among
them was Senator Mills, OF Utica, who last
week held aoof and would not state his
position. Messrs. Gorsline, Boardman, j.
NJ. Palmer, and Gates, members OF the AS
semblv, who have been classified with the
stalwlrs are now placed with the Admins
trationistS. Other changes are also antci-
pated and the ADMINISTRATORS claim that
the vote for COnkling tomorrow VIII
show him to be in the minority. in which
case they say he will be abandoned entirely.
On the other hand, the stawahs say that
.he will never be abandoned; that his true
friends will stand by him to the last as firm
" as the 500 did by Grant at the Chicago
Convention. Among those visiting eX-Sen-
ator Conking this afternoon was Governor
Cornell. The interview lasted over an hour.

KENTUCKY AND YORKr0wN.-Governor
Blackburn, OF Kentucky, in letter to Ma
jor John b. Castleman, commanding the
Louisville Legion, expresses tue opinion
that the approaching Centennial celebration
at Yorktown, Va, is an occasion peculiarly
deserving exceptional consideration by the
entire American people, without regard to
political differences or sectional division.
He desires that Kentucky shall be appro-
priately represented on the occasion, and
requests Major Castleman to make an effort
TO have the Louisville Legion, which is a
fine military organization, cooperate with
such other organized military companies as
NAV unite TO represent Kentucky at the
celebration. The Louisville Courier. Jour
nal warmly seconds the Governors sugges'
ton. and says the Legislature can be safely
counted on TO cooperate in this matter, and
TO appropriate a sum sufficient to aid ma
terialy in meeting the expenses which may
be incurred in sending one or two OF Ken
tucky's crack companies to Yorktown.
