Vernon on Monday on the Dispatch, created much amuse- ment with all who knew that the guests were all invited by Secretary Blaine, between whom and Mr. Conkling, as 1s well known, there have been nO courteslés exchanged for many years.

He leans back in bis chair, places both feet onthe top of his senatorial desk and watches everything that goes on, RovnpasovT News.—Sir Edward Thornton says he knows nothing of any authority for the Statement recently published in London and copied here that he 1s to be sent as ambassador to St. Petersburgh, and says he expects to re- main here.

NEWS FROM ALASKA.—Commander Henry Glass, commanding the Jamestown, reports from Sitka, under date of April 6th, that affairs in the territory of Alaska are in a most satis- factory condition. Perfect quiet obtains and the Indians show every disposition to remain at peace. Since the date of his last report he has succeeded in having treaties made between the Stickeen and Hoo-che-noo tribes and be- tween the Stickeen and Sitkas, thus ending feuds that in one case had existed over fifty years. The chiefs showed an earnest desire to make ce and to abandon their former cus- tom of exacting satisfaction in kind for every Injury. He thinks the treaties will be faith- fully observed.

As stated in yes- terday’s Stak, the Chinese immigration treaty was ratified without amendment, only two Sen- ators voting in the negative. The Chinesecom mercial treaty was then ratified without amend- ment, and without grnesiibn: The Senate also ratified the extradition treaty with the United States of Colombia; the consular convention With Italy, modifying and defining the judicial powers of certain consulates; the convention With Morocco, respecting the taxation preroga- ves of the Moorish government; and the treaty with Japan, pi bing reciprocal duties for the Japanese and United States governments in cases Of shipwrecks upon their respective coasts. MOVEMENTS OF SENATOR FR¥#.—The Lewls- ton (Me.) Journal says that Senator Frye has returned to that city from Halifax, N. S.~vhere he wentto conduct the defence in asuit in which $150,000 was involved. He has tele- graphed to Washington for advices as to the situation, and unless his immediate attend- ance js essential, he will leave the city in a day or two fer New Hampshire to ge anticipate that any action on that case will be taken until December. He thinks that the Senate will adjourn within a few weeks until December, as he. believes Senator Mahone by that time will have become convinced of the disposition of the majority toward the inde- dent movement in the south, while Mr, ’8 presence will soon be required in the forth coming contest in his own state, PERSONAL —Rear Admiral Taylor and Hon.

The Talk To-day. ‘The excitement over the New York complica- tion has net subsided a whit to-day. In the hotels, on the street corners and in public Places it is the only theme of gossip. To-day Gen. Wooaford and Mr. Payn, whose names were among those withdrawn, arrived in the city by the early morning train. Gen. Wood- ford had a conference with Senator Conk.tng,at ajl events he Called at his house on 14th street, and subsequently had an audience with As- sistant Secretary French of the Treasury department. THE CONKLING PLAINT. Senator Conkling’s friends say that the Presl- dent's action is unwise, and that it means tropble, and wore than all, he is endeavoring to override the action of the Senate caucus with the power of patronage. District At- torney Reed, of Chicago, who ts here, and who isa oe stalwart, voices the sentiments Of this class in the manner in which he sums up the situation. Said he to-day to a Star representative “I find that Presi- dent’s course is universally applauded by the democrats and weak-kneed republicans. Now what does the President mean? He cannot succeed without the aid of the democrats of the Senate. Does the President propose to conduct his administration with republican or democrotic uppers It he calls upon the democrats to aid him, why the democrats will naturally call for a quid pro quo. thig morning and he 1s lookin been to a funeral, although I had no chance to talk with him. I find that many democrats gay: “We are Kee the President “has with- Grawn the nominations because that means the destruction of Conkling, and with Conk- ing destroyed we can carry New York, and without New York the republican party cannot succeed. Seto 2 isthe leader of the party as Grant was the leader of thearmies. If then Wwe can destroy the leader, political ead should constrain us to stand by the President.” STILL ANOTHER VIEW taken of the situation 1s that’ the fight as it now presents itself is not against ‘bossism,” but simply which of the bosses shall survive, Blaine or Conkling. It is urged that both fre- quently resort to the most aggressive tactics to secure their ends. Said a stalwart at Willard’s to-day: “It is a question whether Boss Conk- Boss Blaine shall go to the wall.” ‘the withdrawal of the nomination of course does not relax the caucus ukase adopted at the recent caucus held. For the present, under the caucus rule, Judge Robertson’s nomination will be considered as one in contest, and will be held back upon the objection of two Sena- tors until all the nominations not in contest are disposed of. ANOTHER CAUCUS. There fs some talk, however, that the emer- gencles of tie situation now require that another caucus shall be called at ones, Ibis nee a ailimprobabie that one will be held on vy. A very interesting question is what will the President do with the candidates withdrawn, in case Judge Robertson 1s confirmed. In such event his friends say he will renominate them all, because not to do so would be a tacit ac- knowledgement that they were unworty to have been nominated at all. The President's motive as construed by his friends in making the withdrawais was to prevent the New York Senator from making any discriminations at all touching the New York appointments. PRESSURE ON THE PRESIDENT. ‘To-day there has been a strong influence ex- erted with the President to induce him to withdraw Robertson’s and start the New York nominations anew. This, however, the Prest- dent will not listen to, He takes the ground that Judge Robertson 1s honest, competent and a good republican, and it would be an injustice to the nominee to recall his name. It was told a representative of Tag STar that Senator Sherman satd to-day he thought the President had acted unwisely, The friends of Senator Conkling are at a loss just what course the New York Senator will now pursue. One statement ts that he would attack the admin- istration ina violent speech. This, however, Dis friends deny. Of course, while it is be- leved he will break all relations with the Pres- ident, he will not openly make an attack upon the President. ‘Ie is tooshrewd a politician for that,” sald a democratic Senator. “His atra will be to make the point that the President seeks to coerce the Senate and override its caucus decisions. Upon this he will have good ground to work.” Isaw as if be had At the Capitol To-day. THE TALK THERE—WHAT MR. CONKLING Sats— EFFORTS TO ARRANGE MATTERS—SENATORIAL VISIT TO THE WHITE HOUSE—THE PRESIDENT FIRM—THE TEXT OF HIS MESSAGE. The Senators gathered at the Senate chamber rather slowly to-day, and when called to order at noon comparatively few were there. The decisive action of the President in regard to the New York nominations was the subject up- permost in the minds of all, and speculations as to the outcome were freely indulged in. The opinion that Robertson will be confirmed ap- peared to be general, A friend of Senator Conkling to-day sald to him that he belleved the confirmation of Robertson could now not be Prevented. The reply of the New York Senator was to the effect that he did not share in this opinion; that the matter was not yet settled by any means. In short, ‘Mr. Conkling expressed himself as still holding a strong position, and as belng un- dismayed. Efforts to bring about a settlement of the affair so as to avold a contest within the party are still belng made, and the indicationa are that @ good many republican Senators still hope to se@ some sort of compromise effected. Several Senators of that party called on the President again this morning, and urged the withdrawal of Robertson, as the best and sure. ° est means of harmonizing the party. They argued that as the other New York nomina- tions had been withdrawn, if the President would now recall Kobertson’s name, that would remove all cause of irritation; that then an entire new deal could be had with New York patronage, which would satisfy both wings of the hh The President ad- hered firmly his former declaration that he could not withdraw the nomination. He expressed himself as sincerely desirous of party harmony, but thought it was too much of him, under all the circumstances, to withdraw Robertson’s nomination. It 1s iven Out that Senator Conkling has accepted e President’s “ultimatum,” and does not in- dulge in any idea of his receding from his post- Uon. The opinion that the nomination of Robertson will be brought before the Senate within a few days, at farthest, was openly ex- Pressed by many at the Capitol, including a number of Senators. One theory is that Sena- tor Conkling will not attempt now to pocket the nomination in committee, because he is aware of the intention of friends of the admin- istration to move to diseharge the commerce committee trom consideration of the case shou!d its report be delayed. Such a motion would at once open the contest, and, in fact, would test th strength of the two sides as distinctly as if the nomination was under considertion. Senators mao favor See would vote to ge the committee, w! those who sus- tain Mr.Conkling would vote against the motion. ‘This would bea square test, and such a on itis now apparent, cannot be avoided. It now learned that Vice President Arthur and Senator Platt in their visit to ‘erda} pene strenuously urged the President to withdraw bertson and open the way for a “readjustment” of all New York nominations. The Presidens peer ol to od The reading of the message created futter amon the Senators, but, it is sud, ‘. Conkling continued to read some paper he had in bis hand, without once gz up. The message was a8 fo) “To the Senate af the United States:—The hich were lows: withdrawn: Clint to be Tnarabal Of the United States for the uprenere istrict of New York.

The Withdrawal of the New York Appointments, MR. GARFIELD CONCLUDES THAT HE 18 PRESIDENT. The President’s message to the Senate yester- day, withdrawing all the New York nomina- Uons, except Judge Robertson, to be collector’ of the port, has produced an excitement generally, and among Senator Conkling’s friends a positive sensation. ‘When the message was recetved in the San- ate it threw the Conkling coterie into con- sternation and raised a flurry generally. The Senate at the time was in executive session, and the public gaze was thus veiled, but, to use the expression of a Senator, “i just raised ell.” . The history of this decisive action on the President's is stated as follows: He had been tolerant with Mr. Conkling, indulging the hope that the repubiican side of the Senate would eventually be able to cecure decent treat- ment of executive nominations. After the long delay, however, he expressed to the committee of safety his hope that in the caucus to be held aD understanding would be reached whereby the executive business would be proceeded with. The caucus was held, and its proceedings are now history. Senator Conkling succeeded in making an arrangement whereby all contested acted upon until all others were disposed of. ‘This was a triumph for Mr. Conkling and a hu- miliation to the lent. Its effect was that all of Mr. Conkling’s friends nominated for office were to be confirmed, and then the New York Senator intended to muster his forces and further try to crowd the President to the wall ya having Judge Robertson’s nomination re- e Wednesday night a number of republican Senators called upon the President. them If the ae had correctly reported the proceedings of the caucus, and that certain nominations had been aingied out for imme- diate cor!irmation and others for vexatious de- lay. He was told such was the case, Then said the President, according to report: “I will take my own course. I am now determined to id, out who are my friends, and such as fall cael hereafter require a letter of Introduc- ‘The sequel to this declaration developed yes- terday in the shape of the bomb fired into tne camp of the ‘bosses,” and it did not come any too soon. It had been the intention of the Conkling men to have confirmed all the New York appointments, except Robertson, and then either adjourn without disposing of his case or have a long delay. ‘The interesting question now is what will Mr. Conkling do, or, rather, what can he do? It is Not believed, in view of the President's deter- mination to have Robertson confirmed, and that without any more dilly-dallying, that there will be a haif dozen republican Senators who will side with Conkling in his effort to humluate the President. ‘Those who sympathize with Mr. Conkling say that the President’s action is hasty. They say that In taking the course _he has the President presupposes that the Senate ls against him, and be is trying to win it to him, not by any merit his administration Loe) but by the force of executive power ugh ‘the patron- age. They say, too, that it is a concession on the President’s part that until yesterday Conk- ling had worsted bim. Some who are not admirers of the New York Senator regret that the issue has been so sharply drawn. WHAT CONKLING WILL DO. | It is believed that Mr Conkling will now burn all the bridges behind him, and assall the ad- ministration. His aim will be to drive the administration to the democrats for support. He will endeavor to make this palpable to the country, and then claim that without demo- cratic support and executive threats the ad- ministration could not maintain itself. He undoubtedly trusts that when the democrats find that the administration 1s indebted to them for support, they will naturally ask executive favors in the shape of appointments. ‘This would enable him to score the point with the ultra stalwarts, that, the President was maintained not solely by his party friends but largely by his political enemies. £0ME OF THE ‘ SHIFTY” REPUBLICANS deprecate the quarrel. They affect to see the end of the republican party. They say that Copkling’s defeat will mean democratic triumph in New York, the loss of the next Houre of Representatives, and a division be- tween the followers of the President and the ultra wing, which can never be reconciled Said one of them last night: “If there is a division of the party, Conkling have in Gen. Grant a convenient magnet to attrac: Such elements of discord as are produced by the war made upon him.” THE BEITER CLASS OF REPUBLICANS ‘who despise the “boss” system of domination, applaud the President to the echo. They say President Garfield has been in the past alto- eae too tolerant. Day by day, by not taking he bitin his mouth, he allowed his ad- ministration to degenerate into such weakness that it was a matter of common remark. The pressure has been upon him for some time to do that which yesterday he diddo. Despi to its preger work. Day by day too, Mr. Conk- ling, in private conversation, has been decrying him both in a personal ard public sense. Under the plea of “Senatorial cour- tesy,” which the New York Senator used as a cloak to cover his covert war, the President Was snubbed and put at a disadvantage. The Umehad come to have the fight out in the open field. CONKLING GETTING DISLIKED AT HOME. Conkling, it appears, is in danger now of losing some of his fast friends in New York. Word reached this city last night that the friends of the nominees the President withdrew are justly indignant, It is said their grievance ig that Mr. Conkling lost his ope ity in not getting them confirmed Wednesday, and had ie not higgied so long, seeking to give a rebel brigadier and repudiator an office, they might have been confirmed long ago. It is certain that the public feeling 1s largely with the President. Already he is in receips 0” telegrams from all quarters, and from demo- crats as well as republicans, endorsing his ace tion. Further, he has been called upon by scores of puue men who approve his course and tell him plainly they mean to stand by him. All who calied at the White House last night found Gen. Garfield in unruffled temper. He has no disposition to exuit, as his act of yesterday was prompted by considerations of public duty. It 1s considered certain now that ROBERTSON WILL BE CONFIRMED. A large proportion of the democratic Senators will vote for him. A circumstance which has madean Impression on the democratic mind isa letter written to a democratic Senator by Hon. Horatio Seymour, of New York. Seymour, as is well known, is Mr. Conkling’s brother-in- law. He urges in this letter the confirmation of Robertson, saying that he is an antl-machine republican and his confirmation will meet with the approbation of the best representatives of democracy in the state of New Nominations Cenfirmed. ‘The Senate yesterday confirmed a large num- ber of nominations, among them the following: Nathan W. Spalding, United States assistant treasurer at San Francisco, Cal; E. C. Jewett, United States assayer at St. gon Mo.; Brad- ley J.

Hoyt and Attorney General Palmer for their action in reference to the judictary of that county; and further, on the found of corrupt conduct in pardohing Kemble and his companions, Mr. Rud¢iman offered a resolution charac- terizing the petition as “impertinent, Improper and scandalous;” that it should be returned, and the proceedings expunged from the record. A stormy scene ensued, aud amid the utmost excitement sreeches of a violent character were made, Finally, the resolution was adopt- ed by a vote of 80 to 52, the majority of the mays being democrats.
