WEDNESDAY. MAY IS, 1881.

THE New York Herald prints a long
account of the New Yord Underground
Railway scheme about which there
have been many rumors recently. The
company is known as the New York
Underground Railway and is the sue
cessorof the New York City Central
Underground Railways Company, char
tered in 1869. The present company
holds its title to nnD charter under a
decree of foreclosure. The route is
under, BroadHay from the battery to
59th street and thence under the
boulevard or upper Broadway as far as
may prove. desirable. The company has
the power to make connections with
the Hudson River Railway at such
points along the road as may seem desi-
rable.
The Herald says editorIally: st
promises better than the elevated rail-
roads have performed. for 1t is to make
no smoke at all. and trains are TO travel
about % miles an hour, including stops
and the fare is TO be five cents extra
for drawing-room cars. General Nc
Ciellan is president of the company and
associated with him are several PROM
nent capitalists.

Tribune says apples keep exeelienlIg in

That water is not Injurious To the

that they were part Of the cargo Of a
canal boat which had sunk in the canal
and was frozen in before it could be
raised. When this was effected in the
spring, il was found that the cargo of
apples, which would not have kept much
longer than January in the air, had
beer preserved perfectly in the water.
An old custom OF bnrying apples in the
ground, the same as roots, also demon
strates that moisture in contact will:

A DISPATCH from Washington to
the Chicago Journal says: When Sena-
tors Conkling and Platt's designations
were read, it was a minute or two
before senator's could relize the truth and
what they had heard read, and they
then looked at one another in perfect
blank establishment. The news created
an immense excitement and the sena-
tors soon gathered together TO discuss
the biggest sensation of years.
The event was unexpected, and 1t
was therefore mort startling. A cor
respondent asked several senators what
1t all meant, but with one exception,
the answer was, ~ don't know One
senator said that it had been reported
that the New York legislature favors
the confirmation OF Robertson and Is
opposed to Conkling's course. This,
IL true, would seriously impair Conk-
ling's strength at home, and he has
therefore determined to see whether the
republicans Of the state are with him
or Robertson. 1t is a bold stroke but
it will create CONSERVATION throughout
the land. The senators as they reflect
upon the event are disposed to regard it
with more seriousness than at first,
and some Of them say frankly after
hours knowledge of the designations:
There is a crisis in history of the parties
and only a wise craftsmanship can
carry it through safely. A rumor
gained circulation that Vice President
Arthur had resigned, but this found
few believers rs no one could tell TO
whom he would resign. The way was
not known, under the constitution, by
which he could resign his office.
A rumor quickly got into circulation
that the kellogg case might be brought
up by the democrats in order TO GUST
him, but this was officially put down
by the democratic leaders who say they
will go on, as now organized, with bust
ness rapidly as possible and adjourn as
soon as the president has nothing more
for the senate. Neither Conkling or
Platt we're at the senate to day.
An ex-senator and a friend OF Conk-
ling's, said to-day that the designations
were absolute, and that nothing could
procure their withdrawal now. Sup
porters OF Conkling state that the resig-
nations were offered because the New
III -
York senators felt that they have been
badly treated by the administration;
that Roberrson's nomination was made
at the in%stightions of Blaine to put
Conkling down and that both senators
and vice president protested against
this warfare against the regular organ
ization of New York, but all their ef-
forts failed.

said tonight: ssConkling and Platt,s
designations had no more bearing ON
Wall street than a drop of water in the

Thurlow Weed expressed great sur
prise. He thought the action of the
senators had not improved matters.
John Kelly expressed the following
opinion: 1.-THE resignation of Senator
Conkling will show conclusively his
strength in the republican party. 1
don't believe his and Senator Piatt's
resignation will be accepted" In reply
to the question: 'If Senator Conkling's
resignation is accepted, do you think
his political power will be ~injured?"
Kelly replied: There have been such
cases in the history of American politics
in which the leaders have managed to
regain by their own personal influence
and prestige the position in the party
of which they were deprived by the loss
of patronage. Such were Henry Clay
on the Wing side. and Silas Wright on
the other. What Senator Conkling's
chance TO do this are / don't know"
Abram s. Hewitt said. that although
he thought it would be a good party
policy for the democrats to aid in con-
frming Robertson, he had been In

this matter, simply because he favored

was promised the place of the secretary
of the treasury. The reply given was,
that the democratic party was not
fighting for that sort of thing. but to
DESTROY such practices. He sympathized
with the senator's position as tending
TO preserve the balance of power. The
president should not make bargains
with senators; but in this particular
case a bargain was not made and the
senator was resisting the executive
power. 1t is already greater than de-
sired.
Gen. Woodford, United States dis
trict attorney, when informed of the
designations Of Conkling and Platt,
turned pale, then red, and finally a hue
and that was decidedly green, his eyes
opened wide; he staredat the reporter,
and with an effort and q nervous, vio-
lent twitching Of his fingers, inquired
in a suppressed tone: Are you posi-
