The company sued to be allowed additional com- pensation for carrying the mails in postal cars. in excess of the rates now and heretofore paid by the government for such service. GETTING EVEN WITH A MOONSHINER.—Com- missioner Raum to-day received the following dispatch from Collector Woodcock, at Nash- ville, Tennessee: ‘Deputy Collector Davis tel— egraphs me from Chattanooga that he captured John Welch, who is badly wounded. John Welch fs the man who shot Davis last Decem- ber.” Davis wason here some time ago. He spoke about how Welch’s party surorised him, shot him, and beat him over the head. He sald he was goin aan to Pay Weich before the summer was over. yt him. INDEMNITY FOR THE FORTUNE BAY OUTRAGE. Secretary Blaine and Sir Edward Thornton, the British Minister, have concluded negotia- tons by which the British government ts bound to pay £15,000 in sterling gold coin to the United States, to indemnify American fishermen who suffered losses by the Fortune Bay outrage. Hon. ALonzo BELL returned to the city this morning from Westchester, Pa. where he had been to deliver the oration under the auspices of Post 31,G. A. R. Mr. Bell was well recelyed ee the people of Chester county, pan ee nade was given in his honor last evening, to which he appropriately responded. ‘THE CIRCULATION OF THE STANDARD SILVER DOLLaRs from the Treasury vaults has practi- cally stopped altogether. During the fall and early winter there was quite a demand for this coin for the purpose of moving the crops. ‘That demand stopped when the crop movement was over. Since tne first of January last there has been no call forstiver. All of the dollars that have been coined since that date remain in the Treasury. Further than this, some of the Silver doilars then tn circulation have fouud their way back into the vaults. The amount outstanding has steadily decreased. The cotn- age at the rate of a little over $2,000,000 a month still goes on. The question of storage will soon become an tmportant one ff the pres- ent condition of the silver dollar continues unchanged. THE “GOOD OLD Timgs” WE READ ABOUT.— In noting the difference in the style in which Senators and Representattues now live in ‘Washington as compared with that usual thirty years ago, an old resident tells an anecdote of Interest. Hesays that at that time it was not uncommon for very worthy members of either House of Congress to occupy rooms over stores. A very swell gentleman was elected to Con- grese, whom we will call Baker, and he set up a grand establishment here. He was Brcaey. shocked to find that his intimate friend Cooper, although a@ very rich man, lived over a grocery store, and one day in addressing a note to him “Hon. Mr. Cooper, over Smith’s grocery But Cooper was not to be put down thus, so, remembering the situation of Baker’s een house, when he answered, addressed his letter: “Hon. George Augustus Baker, opposite Foy’s livery stable.” PgrsonaL.—Senator Hawley left Wahington for his home in Connecticut yesterday: —Tae report that Hon. L. S.

Among them was Senator Mills, 0 Utlca, who last week held aloof and would not state his position. Messrs. Geisline, Boardman G. M. Palmer and Gates, members of the as- sembly, who have been classified with the stal- warts, are now placed with the administration ists, Other changes are also anticipated, and the administrationists claim that the ree tor Conkling to-day will show him to be in Os aay in which case, they say, he will be bandoned entirely. On the other hand, the stalwarts gay that he will never be abandoned; that bis true friends will stand by him to the Jast as firmly as the 306 did by Grant ta the Chicago convention. Among those visiting ex- Senator Conkling yesterday afternoon was Cg Cornell. The interview lasted over an cae the assembly last night, the senate resolu- ton for a joint convention to elect United States Senators on Wednesday next was received, and, by unanimous consent, adopted. ‘The demo- cratic members of the Is eae Tet in joint caucus in the senate c last_ evening, Senator Fowler ine as temporary president. Assemblyman Murphy was made permanent chairman, Senator Jacobs was nominated for the short senatorial term, to succeed Conkling, and Francis Kernan for the long term, to suc- ceed Platt. Thirty members were present. The administration men met for conference last evening. There were fifty-seven present and notes from twelve more saying they will vote for men who will support. the administra- tion. Resolutions were adopted pledgin ig all ae to withhold their support trom Conk- g and Platt. After the adjournment of the house quite a number of republican members remained in thelr seats, in accordance with the invitation to meet in caucus sent them by the assembly caucus committee. Speaker Sharpe called Mr. Draper, cf Albany, tothe chair. After some speeches, the chair stated that he had a count made, and it was found that there was not a majority of republican members of the assem- bly present. E. A. Carpenter moved that the caucus adjourn to S p.m. to-day, and the re- publican members of the senate be invited to participate.” “VERY BAD FOR MR. CONKLING.” This is the heading of the New York Sun to its Albany dispatches. That paper saysof the proceedings there after the arrival of Messr3. Conkling, Platt and Arthur by the night boat: “They arrived in Albany at an early hour and passed to a parlor on the third floor of the Del- avan House almost incognito, Dutcher, Car- penter, John F. Smyth, and other vaqueros Were sound asleep. Their newly greased :arlats were coiled to thelr sides. As the day advanced they mounted their saddles. The news, how- ever, was ciepiene While they slept the herd of unherded yearlings had strayed deepar in the forest. They were out of reach. Two or three had been noosed by the half-breeds. Worse than all, promising cattle had been cut out of the stalwarts’ pen under the very noses of Dutcher and Smyth. In his Se through the woods Senator Mills had rubbed his bip against the stump of party aisepline and effaced the Conkling brand. He walked le the haif-breed corral as quietly as a amie Journal algo announced that Assembly- mar Gorsline, abla black stalwart steer from Her- kimer county, had been yarded by the haif- breeds. It said that the overwhelming senti- ment of his constituents had left him no other alternative. The half breeds reiterated the Story until it seemed to rest on a sure founda- tion. Gorsline then turned up with his hair freshly blackened, and denied it. He even avowed a determination to sign a call fora caucus. Another story, however, had the essence of truth. Assemblymen Boardman, Geo, Palmer and A. W. Gates were among the stray yardlings caught in the wooda by Blaine’s cow boys. They took the brand sissing hot without a murmur. Three other ‘Conkling bulls were noosed, but they bolted at the trance of the Blaine pen, and tried to shake the lariat from their horns. They would vote for Coukling, but they refused to inciude Platt. It veting for both was to be the test of fidelity, they would vote for neither. It was spnerent that the tide was stlll against the alwarts.” “EXTRAORDINARY IMBECILITY.” The New York Times to-day remarks edl- torially: ‘A call, signed by Messrs, George H. Sharpe, E, A. Carpenter, John E. Gillette, and A. 8. Draper, was issued to the republican members of the assembly yesterday summon- ing acaucus to meet last night to agree upon the candidates for United States Senators to ba supported by them. Of the 70 republicans who were in the assembly chamber at the hour of adjournment, only 27 remained to respond to the call of the caucus committee, though it had been alleged that a majority of the republican members of the legis- lature had desired the meeting.- Eight Senators joined this rump of a party caucus, and it was demonstrated that the number of republican votes available for the re-election of Messrs. Conkling and Platt is just 35. The extraordinary imbecility of calling a caucus to demonstrate beyond the possibility of dispute the hopeless weakness of the Conkling cause 1s co with most of the important moves ade by the ex-Senator and is t friends during this “extraordinary struggle. Falling to dis- cover the presence of a majority of the repud- ican members of the assembly the chairman announced the caucus adjourned till to-night. Roscoe Conkling’s chances of returning to the Senate as a representative of the republican par stand adjourned for a much longer THE “FIFTY-SEVEN.” The Albany correspondent of the Times writes: “Afterthe proceedings in the caucus at the assembly chamber to-night there was a sudden disappearance of stalwarts and an tm- mense congregation everywhere in public places of the administration men. After the ominous news Was made known as to the rela- Uve strength of the Conkling and anti- Conkling factions, a curious transforma- tion was witnessed in the corridors of the Delavan House. In the lower corridor there was a large crowd gathered, but the hitherto confident stalwarts, who fora week past have been seen every- where, were nowhere to be seen. Scattered through the throng there were numbers of ad- ministration assemblymen, earnestly telling their friends about their meeting at Mr. Har- Tie’s office, where the 67 administration repub- licang had fathered, and here, by the Way, it may be well to call ‘attention to the cu. rious triple coincidence of these fi in this canvass. |For two days last week the stalwarts went about bragging that they had 67, and some of their prominent men said that’ thelr lst was in possession of Mr. Carpenter, of Sut- folk. Now the figures are found to represent, not the signatures to the call, ps the actual number of voters on the other side. Finally, Itmay be mentioned. that 67 1s tho number ot the bees parlor ih the Delavan house which hhas been used as Mr, Conkling’s public head- duarvers,” “ “A PASSION FOR SUICIDE.” The Trivune correspondent writes: “The long-deferred Conkling caucus was held to- night at last.

The Stalwarts Leaving Conkling— Senater Madden Calls Him a Coward—The Administration "en Surprised at Their Strength—Who Will be the New Senators—An Election Possible—Conkling Too Weak to Make a Meas Teck— Hut He Fights to the End. [Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Stary ALBany, May 31. ‘There is a marMed and decided change in the Senatorial situation since last week. Those who signed the cail for the stalwart caucus for last Thursday night feel themselves relieved ftom all obligations to attend the machine cau- cus, on account of the failure of the caucus to meet that night. Several who signed that call turned up at the meeting of the admints- tration men last night and made speeches there. Those who were on the fence or doubt- ing one week ago are now with the adminis- tration side. The current is setting so strong against Conkling and tn favor of the adminis- tration since to-day, that it is carrying all the drift wood toward the latter to such an extent that Lhe opponents of Mr.Conkling are surprised at thelr own strength The attendance upon their conference last night, exceeded the most sanguine expectations. More converts have occurred this morning. Senator Madden, a ferce stalwart, has declared {n the senate, that ‘Conkling’s course 1s that of a coward, and under no circumstances should he be returned. Mr. Conkling’s re-election is now out of the question, under any circumstances. If the changes con- Unue as rapid for the next two days as they have the last twenty-four hours, Mr. Conkling will not be able to make a deadlock, but lose bis power for mischief in this legislature. The only weak point of the administration men is Uhat they have not upon any candi- dates to support. An effort is made to unite on Gov, Cornell and a half breed like Depew or Wheeler.
