WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Owing to the
Garfield memorial exercises there will not
be an executive session of the Senate to-
morrow, but it is believed Conkling, s
friends will endeavor to confirm him Tues
day, as they do not want delay. Conk-
ling's friends are indignant because he was
not confirmed immediately, as is the Gus
tom with senator or ex-senator, and they
think there is a purpose on the part of his
opponents to delay his confirmation and
thus make it appear that he is held in less
| esteem by his former associates than other
senators nominated. There is some very
decided opposition to Conkling's confirm
alton among republican senators, but they
may not attempt to defeat this confirma-
ton. One republican senator said to-day
if the democratic senators would indicate
disposition to reject Conkling he
thought positive move for that purpose
would be inaugurated, but he said the
democrats appear Indifferent and are gen
erally inclined to vote for the continuation
though several who do not 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
develops, will work vigorously for him.
There is some pretty sharp criticism on
the president by republicans because of the
nomination, but it is not loudly expressed.
Many republicans do rot hesitate to say it
is an unwise appointment-not because OF
lack of qualifications, but because it tends
to revive the 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
~ 1af,.r 1nh
thinks the president wants Conkling here
to advise him These two opinions were
expressed in the same. conversation, and
they indicate the drift of quiet criticism.
There are those, however. who declare this
was the best appointment that could have
been made and many of these are not of a
class denominated Stalwarts.' They
point to Conkling's ability and his unquss
toned integrity, and express the opinion
that he will. If he accepts, distinguish him
self as iurist. Even should an attempt
be made to reject his Nomination, it is be-
lieved it could not succeed, as enough
democrats will vote for hirn>te Offset any
republican opposition.
SENATOR VAN wycK's CHARGES.

that an organized ring is robbing the gov.

veys Under the laws township site can
be surveyed by depositing at any govern

the cost Of the survey, in return for which
the party making the deposits is given

The original law made the certificates re-
ceivable only for land in townships survey

within sight of its heaving billows, within
sound Of its manifold voices. With wan,
fsvered face tenderly lifted to the cooling
breeze, he looked out wfstfully upon the
oceans changing wonders; on its far sails,
whitening in the morning light; on its rest
less waves, rolling shoreward to break
and die beneath the MONDAY sun; on the
red clouds of evening, arching low to the
horizon; on the serene and shining path
way of the stars. Let us think that his
dying eyes read mystic meaning which
only the rapt and parting soul may know
Let us believe that in the silence of the
receding world he heard the great waves
breaking on a further shore, and felt al
ready upon his wasted brow the breath of
the eternal morning.

since the amendment to the law, making
them generally receivable, there have been
an enormous increase in these surveys.
Van Wyck charges the ring surveys of
townships where land is absolutely worth
less and uses the certificates to purchase
valuable land elsewhere. He charges the
Surveyors Generals are in this ring, and
that they give out the contract for the
survey to members of the ring at figures
largely in excess of the real cost. Inproof
Of these charges he cites facts named. The
same parties appear on the records in the
General Land Office of contractors for
making these surveys in Arizona, Cali
fornia, Idaho, Nebraska and Nevada. A
table showing the remarkable increase in
these surveys was presented by Van Wyck.
1t shows the operations under this survey
system are costing the government mil
lions of dollars, and that the expenses in
this direction continue to increase yearly.
