Conkling's Return to the Senate.
st. LOUIS. Feb. PA Washington
special to the Republican says: Ii is
whispered that the vigor of the senatorial
fight in New York may force Roscoe
Conkling into politics again. The matter
is already being talked of both there and
here. 1t is asserted hat Conkling has a
hold on certain Democratic influences in
New York which his friends could turn
to recount. The Republican strength is
divided upon Miller, Cornell, Hiscock and
Arthur, with no visible prospect of any
one of them securing a full control The
Democratic governor is strengthening his
position by every manner possible. The
administration has its supporters, but not
among the s%poilsmen, who constitute the
most aggressive element of the Demo-
cratic party in the state. Conkling's lieu
tenants, it is claimed, can utilize all the
dissatisfied elements of the Democratic
party and the aggressive wing of the Re
publican party, or at least sufficient to
hold the balance of power in a Republi-
can legislature. 1t is possible that Mr.
Conkling may be again seen in the senate.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-The statement hav
ing been made recently by n friend of Sil
Charles Dixie that the latter had been
dissuaded by Mr.. Chamberlain from en-
tering the witness box in the Crawford
divorce case, Stead, in the Pail NAL
Gazette, demanded of Chamberlain
whether the statement was true. Cham
berlain, in reply, referred to the violent
attacks upon himself in the Pal Nal
Gazette and the attempt of Stead, as he
alleged, to blacken the character of Sir
Charles Dixie, and declined to add TO the
sensation already created by the paper.
Stead retorts that he attacked Chamber
lain because the latter subordinated the
public to personal interest and sacrificed
Sir Charles Dixie to personal feeling, add
ing that Chamberlain has viewed his
(Stead's) motives through the distorting
medium of inordinate egotism.
