Opposition TO Conkiing.

Alleged 10 DO mt the BStlOin of IIOar's
Opposition to Conkling.
Special Dispatch TO the lntclltgcnccr.
WASHINGTON, February 26-Time does
nothing towards settling the doubt sur
rounding Conkling's nomination to the
Supreme Bench. No one here appears TO
have the slightest knowledge as to whether
he will accept. There is every reason to
believe that the ex-senator had no intima-
ton OF the honor proposed to be conferred
upon him by the President, and there is
strong belief here that he will not accept
the position, but will await his confirma-
ton and then decline There is no doubt
OF the confirmation. The opposition will
be lloar, ingalls, and perhaps one or two
others among the Republicans and Bayard
and Groome among the Democrats, The
Democrats speak in the highest terms OF
the appointment, and will all vote for the
confirmation. Senator Voorhees,, in con-
versation yesterday, paid the ex-senator an
eloquent tribute OF praise.
There was some talk OF opposition on the
part OF the Democrats on the ground that
they believed Democrat ought to be ap-
pointed to the position, but this can be
traced to no definite source. There is here
an unqualified disapproval Of the personal
attack OF Mr.. Hoar, of Massachusetts, upon
Cohkling on Friday in the executive ses.
sion, where he took occasion to leave the
point at issue and enter into a discussion OF
Conkling's private character that has never
been equalled upon the floor of the United
States Senate. Mr.. Hoar was actuated by
feeling purely personal, due to the fact
that Conkling at one time influenced the
rejection OF L. lockwood Hoar ut the time
he was nominated for the Supreme bench.

A CONUNDRUM.
Who Invented the TeIephone-Ano;hcr
Claimant of the Honor.

WASHINGTON, February 23.-The vexed
question as to who invented the telephone
is likely soon to be settled The general
belief that it is the invention OF either Edi-
son, Bell or Gray, or the three combined,
is finding an active contestant in the per-
son OF Daniel Drawbaugh, who has lived in
comparative seclusion for the past twenty
years near Harrisburg, Pa, and during
that time has invented some wonderful
things, among them, as claimed bv his
friends, the identical telephone now so ex-
tensively in use throughout the world. 10
prove this, some one hundred and thirty
witnesses have been examined by COM
mission sitting in Harrisburg, appointed by
Judge Blatchford, OF the United States Dis
trict Court OF New York. This commission
has now adjourned TO meet in philadel-
phia on March |, and then it goes
10 New York, where the best experts
in electricity have been summoned before
il to give testimony. A curious fact is the
preservation intact OF the first telephone
made by Drawburgh in 1865. 1t consists OF
an old.iashioned glass tumbler coated on
the inside with plaster Of paris, containing
u low conductor to modify the electric cur
rent. This was used rs Il transmittcr and
was connected by wires with receiving
instrument, consisting Of Il tin box fastened
10 board. One end Of the box was COW
cred with parchment like drum head; to
the centre was attached soft iron armature,
and opposite this was fixed an electro.
magnet, consisting OF two coils. This form.
ed complete telephone, and the experts
claim that they will talk through it in the
the presence OF the Court, and demonstrate
the fact beyond n doubt. lie has also a
still more complete instrument in evidence
made in 1870, which is the same princi.
pie patented by Bell, June ., 1873, and
similar to Edison's patented in 1877.
II these facts warrant the granting OF n
patent to Dnwbaugh, as now. seems proba.
Bile, he has declared his ability and inten.
ton to so reduce the cost OF telephone
service, his instruments being very simple
and inexpensive, that it will become for
midabe competitor with the postal service
Of the country, Among scientists and
LAWYERS much interest is manifested in the
result, which bids fair to be in the interest
OF the public.

VAN wYeKts yaicE
Raised Against Frauds In the Land De.
partmcnt,

WASHINGTON, February Ex-senator Van
Wyck, in his speech on Friday against
frauds in the Land Department, made di.
rect charges. He declared that an organ.
lied ring is robbiag the Government, by
these township surveys. Under the law,
township sites can be surveyed BY deposit.
ing at any Government depository the es.
timated amount OF the cost Of the survey.
and in return for which the party making
deposits is given land certificates, which
are receivable in payment for Government
lands anywhere.
The original law made these certificates
receivable only for land in the township
surveyed, and it is fact that the records
show, since the amendment to the law
making them generally receivable, that
there has been an enormous increase in
these surveys. VanWyck charge that the
ring surveys townships where land is abso-
lutely worthless and uses the certificates to
purchase valuable lands elsewhere. He
charges that the Surveyor.G Generals are in
the ring and that they give out contracts
Tor surveys to members OF the ring at
figures largely in excess OF the real cost.
In proof OF these charges he cites the
fact that the names OF the sane parties ap-
pear on record in the General Land office
as contractors for making these surveys in
Arizona, California, Idaho, Nebraska and
Nevada. A table showing the remarkable
increase in these surveys was presented BY
VanWyck. 1t shows that the operations
under this surveying system are costingthe
Government millions OF dollars. and that
the expenses in this direction continue to
increase yearly.

dent Very Sharply Criticised.

WASHINGTON, February 2G.-owing to
tho Garfield memorial exercises there will
not be M executive session OF the Senate
tomorrow, but II Is believed that Conk-
ling's friends will endeavor to confirm on
Tuesday, as they do not want to delay.
Conkling's friends are indignant that he
was not confirmed Immediately MS is the
custom with Senators or cx-Scnators, and
they think there is purpose on the part
oil his opponents to delay his confirmation
and thus make 1t appear that he is held in
less esteem by former associates than
other ex.Senators who have been nomi.
mated. There is some very decided oppo.
ton 10 Conkling's confirmation among Re-
publican Senators, but they may not at
tempt to defeat his confirmation.
One Republican Senator said to-day that
ii the Democratic Senators would indicate
a disposition to reject Conkling he thought
Il positive move for that purpose would be
tnaugurated; but he said the Democrats
appear indifferent and generally inclined
10 vote for his confirmation, though several
who don't like Conkling openly declare
their intention to vote against him.
Conkling has some staunch friends on
the Democratic side, who, in case any open
opposition to his confirmation developes,
will work vigorously for him. There is
some. pretty sharp criticism OF the Presi-
dent by Republicans because OF this nomi-
nation, but it is not loudly expressed.
Many Republicans don't hesitate to say it
IS an unwise appointment, not because OF
lack OF qualification, but because it tends
to revive party strife that existed prior to
the assassination of President Garfield.
One Republican Senator says he believes
the nomination was to give Conkling an
opportunity to decline, and thus bring him
prominently before the public. Another
thinks that the President wants Conkliny
here to advise him.
Those two opinions were expressed in
the same conversation and indicate drift |
oil quiet criticism. There are those, how
ever, who declare this was the best appoint
ment that could have been made and
many oil these are not OF class denomin.
ated as Stalwarts. They point to Conkling's
ability and his unquestioned integrity, and |
express the opinion that he will. il he ac-
cepts, distinguish himself as jurist. Even |
should an attempt be made 10 reject his
nomination it is not believed that it could |
succeed, as enough Democrats will vote for |
Conkling to offset any Republican opposi-
ton or detection.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-The Ohio
statesmen are doing the town with n ven
geance. While Speaker Hodge and Sena-
tor Richards spent most OF the day in Com

orally. Tonight Fred Blenkner took u

Several OF the members called on the
assassin OF President Garfield to-day and
had an extended interview.
Speaker Hodge said to the assassin:
"These gentlemen are members of the
Ohio Legislature, and. some Of them, in.
Guiding myself, are from General Gartields
home"
Theprisoner had hitherto been quiet and
atlablc, but he at once flew into n rage, how
ever, and pounding on the table OF his
cell, exclaimed:
"Well, ii Garfield had been as fair and
conservative as President Arthur every.
thing would have been well to-day"
"Oh, you need not get excited" said Mr..
Hodge, you have nothing TO fear from us
since the trial"
"No, thank God" rejoined the assassin.

RAID ON A NEWSPAPER
For fearIessIy Exposing the IniquIty OF
Town officials.

OMAHA, NER, February ga special to
the agent Of the Associated Press from
Wahoo states that early this morning a
party Of masked men broke into the Inde.
pendent office for the purpose OF destroying
the press and material. They entered by
a rear door, lighted lamp and commenced
the work Of destruction. Suddenly coli.
ironted by one Of the publishers and a son
OF the editor with pistols, who told them
TO throw up their hands, the party did 50.
One OF the intruders, who was hid behind
the door, caught the pistol hand Of the pub.
Usher when melee ensued. The burglars
recovering from their surprise, rallied and
overpowercd those on guard and captured
the pistols. The burglars then fed, fearing
discovery.
Later in the day Frank Dorsey, Bob Nye,
Doane, Benson and Veach were arrested
and bound over, Dorsey in 81 900, and the
Others in $500 each for further examination
next Thursday.
The editor OF the Independent declares that
the attack was instigated by W. II. Dickson,
member OF the town board, by virtue Of
which office Dickson secured the so-caled
license for saloon in the hotel for S404 10,
while Others paid $3.50 in advance for
licenses. The Independent criticised the dis.
crimination, and published an article re-
tlecting on Dickson and his persistent
violation OF law. For this article il is claim
ed the party was instigated to commit the
crime.

biNrournsing Prize Fighting In New
Haven.

NEw HAVEN, February 25-Thc local
authorities have determined to discourage
the forthcoming prize fight between Tom
Sweeney and Donohoe, the latter OF whom
lives here and is backed by New Haven
men, and have arrested the participants in
harmless sott.glove fight for medal
which occurred last Tuesday and in which
neither pOglist was damaged in the least.
The fight took place unknown to the
police, on the edge OF the city, in room
which was Tilted up with II ring. Gus Zills
aud John +. Hayes, both amateurs, faced
each other. There was only one knock
aown and the spectators found the fight so
tame That they fought the two extra rounds
ana the referee was for time unable TO
decide who had won. 1t was constructive v
aprize fight, only on account OF a cheap
medal. SgcI! contests arc engaged in pub
lcIy at Yale College Tor such prizes every
spring. The contestants were arrested Inst
night. Several witnesses have fled 10
avoid being gsubpwnacd. The hearing will
take place Monday.
