Mr.. Conkling Appreciative.

MI. Conkllng AppieClatlVe.
The executive session over the New York
appointments occurred on Thursday. On
Friday Mr.. Conkling went to Vice Presi-
dent Wheeler and asked who had been Sc
lected as members Of the committee on
Mexican relations, which had been pro-
vi6ed for by a resolution offered by Mr..
Conkling a few days previous and adopted
by the Senate. Mr.. Wheeler took the list
from among some papers on his desk anu
handed it to Mr.. Conkling. WHO glanced
over it and asked:
Would you permit me to suggest an al
teration?'
Certainly" was the Vice Presidents re-
ply Mr.. Conlsling scratched off his own
name chairman of the committee, and
wrote the name OF Mr.. Blaine in its place.
Nj. Wheeler demonstrated. He said that
the custom and precedent of the Senate
would not permit a man who had been
member OF the body but a few weeks TO
be appointed chairman of a committee, es-
pecially when it was created upon the mo-
ton of another person. If Mr.. Conkling
did not desire the Craftsmanship himself,
there were dozen senators who would ex-
pect the appointment In preference to MT
Blaine. Mr.. Conkling still insisted. and ex-
planned to the Vice President that although
ne had expected to take the place him.
self, he desired to have NJ. Blaine APP
pointed chairman OF that committee, In or
port Mr.. Blaine had given him in his fight
with the President over the New York NOM
nations; but the Vice President refused TO
do 1t unless Mr.. Conkling would explain
his reasons In the Senate.
1t was finally agreed that Mr.. ConklinS
should be appointed chairman OF the com
mittee according to precedent: that he
should rise in his seat and decline; and
that the Vice President should then, upon
his motion, appoint Mr.. Blaine In his place.
but when the Vice President mentioned the
matter to Mr. Blaine. the latter declined the
appointment for the reason that his health
was so poor that he could not undertake
the investigation, and because his physici-
ans had ordered him to leave the city for
a time and seek absolute rest
But Mr.. Blaine appreciated the courtesy,
and on the following day, which was Sat
urday, December is, when MIR. Conllling
was standing at the desk of the Vice Presf-
dent, Mr.. Blaine approached him. thanked
him for the honor he had attempted to
confer on him and offered his hand. Mr..
Conkling accepted it with great cordially
ana expressed his appreciation for Mr..
Blaine's support In his fight with the
President. There was no mention OF the
long feud there was no reconciliation. but
simply this exchange of courtesies and the
Incident was over.

But Mr.. Evarts was wrong. Mr.. Blaine
not only did not sustain the President, but

was surpa ssed only by one delivered by
that gentleman himself Mr. Blaine was
Ill and weak and ought to have been in
bed but he sat in the Senate chamber six
hours to support his bitterest enemy.f..
No man appreciated a kindness more
deeply than Mr.. Conkiing. He and Mr..
Blaine had not exchanged word-not even
the little courtesies of life-for a dozen
years. They had not bowed or recognized
each other IN the remotest way, and each
had regarded the other with Indifference,
although they sat not more than six feet
apart in the Senate, Mr.. Hamlin of Maine
and Mr.. Howe of Wisconsin sitting be-
tween them.

Sunday. Mr.. Hook was the first

the moving spirit in the organ

company to undertake the devel-

this district on an extensive
scale.
Through the development work
done by the New York and Ne

bodies of this district was, in a
large measure, determined. And,
tIloneh the New York and Neva-

count Of internal diSsentiOns in
the company, to abandon work
on it's valuable properties here
and has since been merged into
the Nevada Consolidated Copper

that the district is now recog-
