Ex-senator Conlkling and the New York
Election.
WASHINGTON, October 25th .-Ex-Senator
Conkling, who is il the city, denied last
night that he had been interviewed on the
subject of the election in New York. ''Of
course" said he, 81 cannot tell what some
newspaper writer may have seen fit to i'm
pute to me, but l have not authorized an
interview on the subject you name" There
is but little doubt that the interview cor
rectly represents Mr.. Conkling's opinions
regarding the Republican party, whether
its publication was authorized or not. The
friends of the ex-senator here, who have
heard him i'll private conversation descant
upon the fallen greatness of the Republi-
can party since he was defeated for the
Senate were prepared for little public
outburst, but hardly for the arraignment
that has been made. What effect the pub
LEGATION will have upon the New York cleo
ton cannot be predicted. Some think it
will insure the election of Hill, while
others assert that nothing short of a mira
Gle can prevent Republican success.
The Telephone War.
WASHINGTON, October 25th.-Three peti-
tons have been presented to the Depart
ment of Justice, asking that suits in equity
be brought to vacate the BeH patents
now owned by the American Bell Tele-
phone Company. Two of these petitions
were presented by the Globe Telephone
Company, and the other by the Washing
ton Telephone Company. The Department
of Justice has referred the petitions with
accompanying papers to the Department of
the Interior, for " the report, advice and
recommendation of the Secretary of the
Interior The Secretary of the Interior,
in turn, has referred each to the Commits
sioner OF Patents for his report and opin-
ion" Mr., Montgomery has not reported
to the Secretary of the Interior
but has submitted to him brief
summary of each case. Secretary Lamar
directs, and will order, that inasmuch as
his advice, opinion and recommendation
are invited, he will ask all the interested
parties to appear before him and the Com
missioner of Patents exhibit all the facts,
and answer the following questions First
Has the Government a right to institute
and maintain such a suit for such pur-
pose, and second, if it has, do the facts, as
they shall be presented, warrant or demand
that such suit be brought? All the pro-
ceedings will be had publicly.
The Assistant Secretaryship of the Treas
ury.
WAsHINGToN October 25th.-There ap-
pears to be only two candidates mentioned
for the position of Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, made vacant by the resigna-
ton of Hon. Chas. Il. Coon. Those are
Judge McCue, the present Solicitor of the
Treasury, and A. B. Youmans, the Chief
Clerk. Either would make an acceptable
and efficient Secretary. 1t is urged that as
both are from New York, and as Secretary
Manning and Assistant Secretary Fairchild
are also from that State, some other State
should be represented in the position; but
is should be borne in mind that Mr.. Coon
is a New Yorker, and it really is not adding
any new position to the list already cred
tied to that State.
The Indian Question Again.
WASHINGTON, October 25th-The publi-
cation of the proposed Recommendation by
the President in regard to changes in the
administration of Indian affairs has caused
quite stir among the officials in the Indian
Office, and 1t is likely that the old fight be-
tween those who advocate the turning over
OF the entire management of the Indians
to the War Department, and those who
believe that the affairs of the red men
should be wholly controlled by civilians,
will be renewed with great vigor
Capital Notes.
WASHINGTON, October 25th-The rumor
that Judge Thoman had presented his
resignation as member of the Civil Service
Commission to the President is not be-
lieyed by his friends, and not generally
credited.
The communistic element is making a
strong effort to cause the removal of Gov
ernOr Warren, of Wyoming Territory, for
his activity in endeavoring to bring to
justice the rioters who participated in the
recent massacre of the Chinese at Rose
Hill. 1t is not believed that the movement
will be successful, for it is understood that
Governor WaTen'S action has the approval
of the Administration.
