ACCURATE IDEA OF MR DEFEAT. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune: ALBANY, Y¥., May 28.—Some official statements of the present condition of the Senatorial tight show that Conkling is now more thoroughly whipped than was general- ly supposed. ‘The Stalwart organ here, the Express, whose anties and wobbling during the week have been one of the Iudicrous features of the eampaizn, is foreed to admit, this morning, that a licans in the Legislature will not giv indorsement to Mr. Conkling by signing their names to aeall foracaucus. It says: *The prospects now are, in consequence of the withdrawal of enough names ta reduce the signatures below the requisit nuniber, that the Republicans will proceed to a Vote Without settling their party al by themselves.” Very few, however, believe that the paper ever contained fitty-four sig- natures. TNE MOST PROBABLE STORY is that two similar calls were in circulation, - and that some names got on both documents, making the total number more than a major- ity. Itis douptful if more than about forty members ever put their signatures to the call, The eall for a caucus Monday night has proved a complete failure so far, but fifteen or twenty names having been secured. Senator Mills’ “harmony”. pledge for a conference of doubtful members Monday night basalso met with but little success. The Ad- minjstration side bas for the first time jade a public exbibition of {ts estimated strength. The Evening Journal, whose relations with the Ad- ministravion leaders yive its utterances a sort of Ollicial character, publishes a Classified [st of the members of the Legislature, in which the Adiministration is _givea fifty-eight. Eight are reported to be perched on the fence waiting for future developments. The following {s the list; ADMINISTRATION SENATORS.

AT NEW YORK CITY. WIRE-PULLING. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yorx, May 28.—There has been a good deal of quiet wire-pulling at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day. During the forenoon there was a dearth of politicians nging about the portals of the ex-Senater’s room, and the peevish and petulant leader of Re- publicanism in this State—or, perhaps, e: leader might also accompany his official title, judging from the result of his latest Albany eampaign—had ample time for re- flection, rest, and retirement. Mir. Conkling, in fact, was not at home to early callers, but towards noon heshowed himself,and was soon after busy with his friends. Ie wasasked if there was to be another conference to-mor- row, and evaded the question by replying, “To-morrow ? Why, to-morrow is Sunday, is it not?” “Yes,” replied the questioner, “and LAST SUNDAY WAS SUNDAY, too. Lheard this morning that there was to bea conference to-inorrow, and wish to ask you at what hour it will be held 2” Mr. Conkling replied: “If you mean an informal discussion among iy friends, none has been arranged, so far as I know. If you mean a conference, none will be held. But for what purpose do you ask the question?” “For the purpose of publication.” To this Mr. Conkling replied, in a some- majority of the Repub- | their | { } Mr. Arthur has what changed tone, “‘For such a purpose I would give you no information whatever.” It was stated bya prominent politician, notwithstanding Mr. Conkling’s evasion, that @ meeting is to be held at Vice.President Arthur’s house, and a Yefinit plan of action for the contest next, we¢le decided upon. IT IS FURTHER STATED that the friends of Senator Conkling in the Legislature will be instructed to stick to their candidates, but it is possible, and even probable, that thesnames of prominent men uot directly: connected — with either faction in ‘ this fight,* upon whom all the Republicans can unite, will be selected as possible substitute, ‘The names of several men have been mentioned, and the twomen who shall be thought to have the best chance of winning will be chosen. It is possible that, altef giving a complimentary vote to Mr. Conkling, a letter written by the Jatler in vindication: of his course will be read, and that his name,and that of Mr. Platt wiil then be withdrawn = wir Messrs. Conkling, Platt: and Arthur are in New York City to-day, and not in Albany, is a atestion the correct answer to which is the understanding of the political situation in i ‘That they are here and have sinee their arrival is hy been a day of con- ferences, and the night will be a night of conferences The Coukling politicians NEVER HAD MORE TO DO, never lookea busier, and never talked less to outsiders, 1¢ is certain that they have not yet formed an alliance with the Democrats, though such an alliance was proposed in one of the conferen nd voted down, “We will keep it,” they said, “as a last resort. Just now it is: ini nt? ‘That, the Demoerats are expecting an offer trom Mr. Conkling is undeniable. But the best informed among them are free to say that the offer has not yet been made, Mr. Conk- fing has had other fish to fry to-day, and, leaving the ‘Tammanyites to their reminis- egnees of the various tradings upon which built up his political } strenxth, } by the ald exclusively of Republican votes.

The Stalwurts point to Albany, and ask their friends if Cori are not elear enough ther What,” they add, “but a distinct understanding between Robert- fon and Cornet! could have led the former to suy What he did of the Intter.” After Mr. Conk- ling bad arrived in Albany, a fewdays ago, the chief burden of his complulat, the chief cause of bis quarrel with Mp. Arthur, was that the situation had been misrepreseated to him. “Do you suppose,” he tsked, “that 1 should have come here und bumiliated myself ly begving men to. vote for ing, had 1° known that. Cornell was fixing things the other way? Now that [am here I will do what T cin, and leave.

He wants approbation. None of his followers dare to tet_him know the bottom fucts when they are adverse to bis inter- esis.” Mr. Coukling is not yet quite sure that Gov. Cornell isa traitor, He is bringing all the power of the machine to bear upon the Governor, and this power he can exert in New York better thau in Albany. This is why be is in New York and not in Albany, and to the accomplishment of this purpose he will devote to-morrow also. He is convinced that if the supposed or real support of Gov. Coraell is WITHDRAWN FROM THE WALF-BREEDS they will fall like bodies without bones, and, being unable to believe-that the Governor * has xetually. sould him out,” he is putting focth @ tast tremendous effort to mike the Governor show his bund. Tims 1S THE SUMMARY of careful inquiries made this atternoon of men who are fully conversant with the situation. ‘The Administration Republicans talk to-day less about Gov. Coruell than about Mr. Conkling’s humiliating departure from the railroad depot in Albany last night. One of them, who was a fellow-pussenger of the -ex-Senator, says that half the truth of thut unbappy exit bas not been tuld. None of the * short uairs” who so bois- terously welcomed the * favorit son” on his ar- rival at the State Capital a few days ago wero present to see bim olf. “ Barney". Biglin was not there, and * Mike * Chegan was not there, and the bitherty ever-faithfal John F. Smythe was absent. When Conkling entered Albany, last week, tweuly “short- hairs” tried to. carry his satehel, and thirty more had each 2 carriage for bin. THE AIR WAS RENT WITH COEERS. Conkling was a conquering hero. Last night he was a Kicked cur, He bad to check hisown bagxage, Just think of that! Check his own baggage: He went to his seat in the car aloue, and tho only noise that was.beard was the noise that the train made. Yet everybody iu Al- Dany knew that ho wis to” leave, and knew the hour’ too! . The cause of tbat neglect is ateributed by the Adiinistrution Repubticans to the stiffening Gifect upon the Republicun legislators of mes- sages sent by their constituents. “THE PEOPLE,” they say, “are against Conkling, and when tho “shurt-bairs” wou welcomed them to the city Jearned that fact, thoir enthusiasm: was spent.” Kesides, there bad been a quarrel with Arthur, and, although after upbraiding bis alty, Couk- ding walked urin-in-arm with tlm in the main corridor of the Delevan House and thence out into the street, thenso back uzain, as if in the of hiarmoay, yet the _ flushed angry face of the Vice-President tha “disappointed, pale features of the ex-Senator spoke sutticient* ty in contirmation of the row that had really oc- curred. ‘+ Conkling,” said a promineat Admin- istration Republican, * bas only two courses be- fore him. He must either decline the nomina- tion And save the party, or he must insist upon and sow the seeds of strife and discord IN EVERY CONGRESSIONAL AND ASSEMBLY ‘DI: cr in the State. It he persists in running for Sen- ator, there will be o triaugular contest in the Legishiture, and, next autumn, a- tri- lar ‘contest in each ‘of the districts_ mentioned. ‘The Yemoerats will have their ticket, the Conkling men theirs, and the ant(-Conkling men theirs, and the rupture of the Republican party will be complete, believe that Conkling desires this rupture.” “The Conkling chiefs,” said another Republican, “are really working ‘each for biin- selt, cach trying to cover up his own tracks. They are still afraid of Conkling. If Grunt comes buck and runs for Senator it will only be to hold that ollice until a favorable opportunity for Conkling’s necession. Thea he will reslgui, and be succeeded by his friend.” “SY LORD ROSCOE” IS VERY CONDESCEND- and interest end and these days.

To the Western Associated Press. New York, Muy 23.—The program of Conk: Mng and friends is to adjourn the Legislature sine die, und turn the eleotion over to the next Legislature, unless the Governor should see fit between now and next January to call an extra session.

C,, May 23.—Some of the newspapers friendly to Mr. Conkling contin- ue to criticise tne Administration and Judge Robertson, because that gentleman has not resigned his place in the Senate and entered upon his duties as Collector. The facts in the case are that, before Judge :Robertson was contirmed, and before the New York Senators resigned; it was arranged that, in the event of Judge Robertson’s confirmation, Gen. Merritt should continue to perform the duties of Collector until the end of the cur- rent fiseal yenr. This arrangement was by no means an unusual one; and in considera- tion of the fact that Gen. Merritt needs some time to close the accouutsof the most impor- tant office in the country before going abroad, the course decided upon was highly proper. ‘This determination was reached when nobody bad any rengon to suppose that any issue would arise at Albany which would ulfect in any way the importance of Judge Robertson, or any other member of the Legislature: and, under the circumstances, there {sno just ground for untayorable criticism.

THE TAMMANY COMMITTEE ON ORGANIZA- ‘TION this afternoon prssed resolutions declaring that, Jn the Judgemeut of that organizution, the tu- terest of tue Deinveratic party and the welfare of tho people were not concerned in the defeat or success of any particular faction of the Ro- | publi y iu the contest now pending in the State Legistatare, and that self-reapeet and ulty to the principles aad traditions of the De- moeruey forbid aay alance av codperation with | either Stalwurts or fHalf-breeds; commanding / the Democratic members of both Houses ot tho State Legisluture to vote for noue but Demo- cratic candidates, and advising, in conclusion, that a fuir regard for the popular will makes it | incurnbent upon thea, if possible, to have the i election deferred until anotber Legislature shall | huve been cons eced. VANDERBILT expressed great curiosity in regard to the | resignation ‘of Conkling. and the position of political affairs in the State. On this subjec! Mr, Vanderbilt said, with great earnestness: ~Mr.Conktiug mado a great mistake in resign- ing his seat in the Sonate. He left the State without representation und the Republican party iu the minority. He could not afford to do that. Ihave regarded him asa manof consid- erable ubitity, and that he should have made a quarrel with’ the Administradon is a pity—a | very great pity! Stull, Conkling is iikely to dis- cover his mistake. The party is more than a man, and when the question shall be submitted tothe people whether to follow the party or Conkling, the people will rally all together around the party. CONKLING WILL FIND HIMSELF ALONE. This isa mere mutter of politics, however, and | taut is a trade with which I am not very fa- | iniliar, It is the conservative part of the world which really holds the bulance of power. I vote, | when Lvote at all, for men and not for party issues. i don’t think there have beeu any great party questions lately, but Coukling should remember that the Col- fectorship of this port is us much a Nauvional appointment as any office in the gift of the President. The Cullector is not Collector. of | New York alone, but almost of the whule coua- try. There is nothing against the fitness of | Judge Robertson for the office, His ubility and | honesty bave not been assailod. Conkling should have known that the uppointment to the ofice was not dependent ou bls personal wishes.” THERE IS NO MISTARING THE FACT that Mr. Conkling’s friends distrust Gov. Cor- nell. ‘They openly state that the Governor is bound by pledges to the Administration Repub- licnns which hive lessenod his efforts in Mr. Conkling's bebult. A good deal of their ‘conversation to-duy was of | this character, The Governor's friends | deelare that he has dene all be comtd, but that Mr. Conklivg’s opposition to Robertson was against bis advice; that the resignations were made without consultation with blm, and that the ex-Senators_ went to Albany in opposi- tion io the Governor's advice. “Under these eircumstonces,” suid one of his triends, “the Governor cannot enter into the canvass i } with much beart. All the fatal errors which the Senator has made were upon the advice of the ice- President, but against that of the Gov- ernor, THERE JS A CURIOUS sToRY told privutely among Mr. Conkilug’s closo friends in explanation of the allezed trouble be- tween the ex-Senator and Vice-President Ar- thur, Itis asserted that the person to wnom Mr. Conkling's upbraidings for taking him to Albany ona truitiess errand were addressed was not to Gen. Arthur but Gov. Cornell, and that Mr. Conkling plainly intimated that the course of the Governor since the resignation } of the two Senators bad not been calculated to} strengthen thelr candidacy. In the course of | his angry remarks, tr. Conkling gave utterance to the expressiou:'* { have been in polities! life many years, and | have always found that mis- takes in judgment were LITTLE LESS THAN TREASON.” Conkling is now directing bis followers to | Sceretury [slaine, and to ignore the Prest- dent.

Her companion, a man apparently 50 years of age, with snow-white hair. and a florid com- plexion, meanwhile stopped at the ticket- wgent’s box, where he deposited a -cent piece and asked for two tickets. le was.re- ceiving the change when a ery attracted his attention to the platform. A southern-bound train was approaching, and gn the track, ! about five or six feet in advance of it, lay the young woman. Instantly there were cries of “Stop the train!” but the engineer eould do nothing, and to the horror of the spectators the young woman disappeared | beneuth the engine. The train ran half the Jength of the platform before it was stopped, and then the woman’s body was wedged be- neath the axle of the first car. As soon as the train came toa standstill an attempt was made to extricate the young woman from her terrible position. All expected to find her badly crushed, but although her clothing was badly { torn and her face bruised and cut, no serious injury was at first perceptible, She bad fallen between the track and had escaped contact with the wheels. She was carried into the waiting-room, and Police-Surgeon Waterman and his- son, Deputy-Coroner Waterman, who-live near the station, were summoned. They found the girl's hip broken and her chest and back crushed. While they were exainining her she regained conscious- ! ness, and when asked how the accident had happened exclaimed rather savagely: “I in- tended to Kill myself.” She said that her name was Hattie J. Hull, and that she was the daughter of Asa Hull, a musie teacher, who lives ina brown-stone Hat at No. 1553 LBroawuday. Thither she was taken in an an- bulance. Her parents and friends refused to speak of or explain the young woman’s act when asked to do so a little later by a Tribune reporter. It was learned, however, at the office of Superintendent Hain, of the Elevated Railroad Company, that Miss Hull's companion had suddenly disappeared while the young woman was being carried into the waiting-room and that he could not be found anywhere. He was recognized by J. We Prinee, a dispatcher‘ as Norman _D. Sampson, who lived at No. 318 West Fourteenth | street, 2 short time ago, ‘The landlady of, this house informed the reporter that her former. lodger was a married man and was an intimate friend of Miss Hull’s. She also said that he wasa clerk in the Appraiser’s Oftice. Later in the day the reporter called on Dr. Ferdinand Beach, of No. 212 West Forty- fifth street, who has been Mr. Iuil’s family physician for many years. Dr. Beach said: * Miss Hull has been suffering greatly from malarial fever for the last week or So, and for three days she was delirious. When 1 visited her yesterday her dvutirium seemed as bad as ever. Her parents say that this morn- ing, feeling better, she asked to be allowed to fo out for a walk und visit her sister. should never have allowed her to leave the house under the circumstances, but her ts were evidently so greatly plea: at her apparently sudden recovery that the: Jet her go. ‘The next time I heard of her was when she ‘was brought home with bad brnises and a disjointed hip.
