Storrs at his office ‘on ‘Washington strevt, and nad the followmg con- Veraanion with the illustrious Illinois Stalwart “upon the subject of the present rulimg political sensation: ees “What do you think of the situation at pres- ent?” the reporter asked after one or two com- mon places upon the Conkling affair had been indulged in. Bi “As far og the situation of Ilinois is con- cerned, I can't see why the Republicans of this Stave should even discuss the question of war upon ths Administration. No hostilities have yet “been waged by the President against any wing of the Republican party of this State, and so far ‘asIean yet understand, at all events the Stal- warts nave uo reason tovompiain with refer- ence to patronage and its distribution.

Lbave mioe. Iam very decidedly of the opinion that Senutor Conk- ‘Hing has been ‘MISREPRESENTED, MISUNDEBSTOOD, ANDILL- a : _.

The war that be bus made thus far bas, in my judg- ment, most of {t proceeded uot from ‘auythiug that he hus suid or done, but from what hus bees, said or dune by those who would have been glad to see him involved in a war with the Adminis- tration and te party.” - 2 Woo are those, Mr. Storrs?”. “ “Too numerous to mention.” .. t » & But what do they represent?’- “They represented what might-be called the. anti-Grant or anti-tbird term branch of the Re- publican party.

Mayor Harrisons Views on the Munn - Resolutions, The General Assembly has finally adopted Munn’s resolution in reference to purifying the water of the canal. Tho resolution, minus the preambles, is as follows: -Revolved, Thnt the Board of Canal Commis- sioners of the Ellinvis & Michigan Canal be and thoy are bereby directed to cause siulee-ways of sutlicient cupacity, with the proper guurd- Rates, to be opened trom the Despluines River to tne canal ator. near the Summit, in’ Cook County. end ut or near Lemont, in Cook County, and uiso to construct 2 dam across the furmer Culumet feeder at such suituble point a3 will cause the water from Lane's Luke to. flow. into the canal. The said Canal Commissioners shall immediately commence, construct, and inprove suid sluicvs and feeders in the order numed, nod pay for the same out of any moneys iu thelr hands'or control as Canul Commissioners re- suiting from the earnings of the camil or othere wise. The amount to be expended as: ubave designated in the prosecution of suid {mprove- pens seal not, however, exceed the sum of < Hesolved, That the Canal Commissioners shall first confer with the Muyor or ower. proper uu- thorlties of the City of Chicago, und if suid city shull proceed without delay to cause a flow into the canat from the Coicugu River sufficient to dilute und purify the waters, and thus remedy the evils complained of, suid tlow to be not less ‘than 60,000 cubic feet per minute, including the ordinary flow iato the canal from: the Chicago River, und if tnis shult be accomplished by the Ast day of September, 1431, the Commissioners’ inuy decept it in tieu of. obtaiuing a supply of water from the: other sources named: Provided; further, that eaid Comatissioners ‘are hereby directed to take care of the 6,0 cubic feet per minute, above contemolated, if so fur- nished by the City of Chicagu: Provided, further, tbat the adoption of this. resolution. sbull not commit the’State to 2 system of permanent drainage of Chicago sewerage through eithor the canal or Despiaines or-lilinols rivers, but- that the State reserves the rignt to require the> City of Chicago in future years to take care. of its Sewase through other chanuels. sae The attention of the Mayor was called te it yesterday morning, and he~stated, after looking ivover, that It was impossible for the work cou- templated to be done by the Ist of September, It would ‘be nécesgary for the Commissioners to to close the locks that: the. city could goon with thé construction of:.the works, ang thts the Commissioners would not “dd until after naviga- on had nO clused, some time in November. Moreover, even if tne engites could bo gotten by tho city, they could noc be set up in the time Specitied, The ‘specifications nad not set been drawn, bids had not been advertised for, and, even if those preliminaries had been concluded, yetit would take 4 loug time to build such en- gines as those which were desired. Irseemed to tbout the truth’ him as. if- the Legislature did. not want the city to make the improvement at Bridge- port atail. Tho impression upon bis mind was that the Legisiuture, or the country members at Jeast, bad an idea that auy increase in the flow of water through the canal wontd siinply be an increase of the amount of the sewage seut down inro the Illinois;River, and they were seeking to Torce Chicago to get rid of its sewage in some other way than down the canal by making It absolutely impossible fer the city: todo .the ‘kK by the time specified. Besides, if the city were to get the muchinery in working order, there Is nothing in the resolution yuacuntectog Chicago the right to use the works for a year after their erection. It is provided in“ one place that the Canal = Commissoners shail tuke 0,000 cuble feet, and in unother the rizht to abolish tho works at any. dime is reserved, But, above and beyond ail else, the city had uot the money to do the work. with now. ‘Tho sum appropriated. by the Cuun- cil was $175,000, Lut $25,000) was needed, and, according to many, the works would not rem- edy the evils complatnod of, even If they wera erected and in ranning order. The Mayor. thought the stock-yards scheme was tho only one which would fuily accomplish the object desired, but that cost too much for the city to bundle, and it would not be carried, out until capitulists were made to see that there wns money in tie scheme irrespective of its use asa public work. JEFFERSON DAVIS, A Flying Visit to Chicago. While a Trimvse reporter was walling down State street yesterday he was struck by a fa- iniliar faco and tigure which had passed bim. urninz back and into the Palmer House the recollection was confirmed, for there stood Jef- ferson Davis, the hero of: the boop-skirts, the ex-President of the Confederate States of America... With him was Gen. Crafts J. Wright, the Superintendent of the Murine Hospital, who was a chissmate of Mr. Davis. Through him the reporter was introduced. He uppeured aa a courtly old geutlemun of the old Southern school, with faded blue trousers, neat, small shoes. u silkt-alpuca cout and vest, with a rum- pled silk stock, wearing « short’ wrinkled and faded overcoat. le received the reporter courteousiy, und while paying for his railroud Heket remarked, * Yes, I bave been lying on Tue Trpene’s praises for years.”- Ae spoke pleasantly of various portions of Kentucky und ‘Tennessee, thelr agricultural anu grazing rich- ness, und other tuples, but be quietly and pulitc- ly “avoided ‘a foruiut’ interview. He” bad ho gaid, arrivd in the city at 7:30 by the Illinois, Central Kailroud, and was, at: the ti the. reporter called, buyin, his ticket for Montreal by the Michigan Centra! Nailroud, having business in that place which would detain hitn for several days. Durtug the diy he called, in company with Gen, Wright, on John Hitt, tae Deputy Collector of Customs, an- other old fricnd, and on other acquaintances. He walked about the streets without attracting much uttention. His appearance is much the sume as of yore, the fuce and beard veing the snine, but be bas aged rapidly, and is visibly in his declining yeurs, so that but 1ew of. the people he’ met on the ' streets recognized in bim the ~ man ~ whose nume Was once on the lips of every one. After Uidding good-by to Tae Truss representa- tive, Mr. Davis took the 5:15 train for Canada. He was bere first in October, 1820, necording to Gen. Huuter, and-it is a pity that he could not stay longer to see more fully the changes which half a century bas wrought, ‘ THE LU MBERMEN. ‘They Resolve to Xeep a Stiff Upper Lip. The second of the summer lunches was given yesterduy in the ruum of the Luinberman’s Ex- change. The trade was fairly represented, and every one seemed disposed to do justice to the entertainment, which wis furnished by Messra. Holt & Balcom. if % Mr. Martin afterwards rapped the meeting to order, und the customary yote of thanks was tendered the firm. . 2 re ic responded pleasantly. He thought some plan might be devised to reduce the cost of -baudling lumber tn this port, und give to the men employed more regular bours of work. The coming season promised to be 2 short one, und probably not enough lumber would be received to cause alarm among the dealers. A communication trom Mr. A.G. Van Schatck, - the President of the Exchange. who bas been cuntined to bis house by sickness for a number of weeks, was read, in which he expressed re- gret that he ‘had ‘not been able to attend the summer lunches. After. iuduiging “in -some humorous remarks about: the statesman from the Eleventh Ward (Ald. Deanj, who, he thought, ‘Was troubled at the last uieeting with bearish feelings, he submitted several reasons why the tmarket exhibited . clembats of. strength. ‘The demand was equal-to. that anticipated, with a. ‘larger city trade than lust. spriug, and ‘the re- ceipts were short some twenty-two unlllion feet from Juu. 1 to May 1S, as compared with the same time a yearago.. In order to receive-the same quuntity of lumber this season as Just, 1,580 million fect must arrive in 18) business days.

All indications point to a Jurge and prosperous season in lumber. ‘the Secretary submitted two resolutions from the Bourd of Directors, the first Fecommond iy that all price-list neetings of yard dealers spoul De held on the 2ith of any given month, in order to give time to circulate the price-list by tho Ist of the next one; the'second, that when a’price list is agreed upon by the yurd-dealers’ meeting, itshould be obligatory on all of the dealers. to issue no lists, nor to advertise at less than tho prices then fixed upon; andif any frm thinks the figures are too bigh, by eiving notice to the President or Secretary a meeting shall be called to consider the matter before a. reduced list is sentout. Both resolatons were passed. Mr. Soper moved that the price-list revised ‘two weeks ago be reutlirmed, Agreed to. Afr. Thompson spoke at. length, advocating thut the dealers keep a stiff upper Hp, and stick to the price-list. Mr, J. H. Swan, who has just returned from a vacation in Europe, nade a few remarks. After a few other speeches of a bracing-up tenor the meeting adjourned, baving really tt- te to do beyond di: sing the luncheon.

Under tnis new. schedule” the time between Chicago and:the East is greatly lessened... Theafternoon fast line which formerly left at 4:05-now leaves at 5:10, arriving at New York at 6:40 the second morning. This is a solid train running. through to. Washing- ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York without change of cars of any class what- ever. ‘The Baltimore & Ohio is the only line offering this great advantage, as by other es changes of cars are made. except sleep- ers, The great convenience of. the entire train running turough without change must be most apparent to those who have been forced to change cars at unreasonable hours oft the night, and in many ways have been put to no little: trouble in getting their families and basgage “from one train to another. There is nothing of this on the Baltimore & Ohio, for if one so chooses the car that he takes’ in Chicago h may remain in until he reaches New City. As all th stern lines run trains h ing Chicago at 5:15 it is interesting that the Baltimore & Ohio train leaving at that hour reaches Washington a whole night. in advance of the 5:15 trains on competing roads,—or in other words, those who leave Shicago for Washington via the Baitimore & Chio reach there the ext evening, while by taking other linés they would not reach the National Capizal until the second morn- ing. “The time trom New York.to Chicago is Jessened xn hour, the last express being duo ae instead .of: 3:30 2s heretofore. ‘There is no material change in the departure of the morning train :tor’ the East.
