Even those most sanguine now say that he willonly be ableto bring about a tedious dead lock, if, Indeed, he can succeed in doing that. ‘hose who think the Senator infallible In judg ment say that he has some surprises in Poe Wich which will be developed in a few lays. Mr. Ep, Winsitr, cashter for Sergeant-at- arms Thompson, of the House of Representa- tives, will shortly resign his place to accept an important business trust In Ohto. It will ba aifMeult to acceptably fill Mr. Winshtp’s place, and for this reason Mr. Thompson will spend most of the summer in this city.

Butler. The decision ts on the ground that the archbishop is now a citizen of the United States, though a French citizen at the time of seizure. Tne commission regret that the terms of the commission, which include only those wh? are now French citizens, exclude a case which seems upon its face to be so equitable.

THE RECENT DISCHARGES—MORE TO FOLLOW— THE FUND RUNNING OUT—PROGRESS OF THE WORK—FORTHCOMING REPORTS—A PROPOSED BUREAU OF STATISTICS, ETC. The discharges from the Census office, owing to the forward state of the work, have been very large of late. Within the past six or. eight weeks there have been from six to seven hundred removals. It will be necessary to reduce the force still further, 80 that in time there will be only a very moderate establish- ment, The employés now number about one- half as many as they did when the full force was on. One cause of the discharges 1s that the appropropriation has been so rapidly ex- hausted. A hundred thousand dollars more has been expended up to this time than was expected. ‘The money went in contingent ex- penges to make the returns as full and accu- accurate as possible, AN INTERVIEW WITH GEN, WALKER, Gen. Walk€t was in his office this morning. In answer to a question froma Star reporter he sald: “I had expected to have had the Statistics ready and published to lay upon the desks of members of Congress when that body reassembles next December. This I will not now be fully able to do, Owing to the fact that the ee peoprarien ig becoming rapi over until Congressional provision is made for it. That, however, is only acontingency. My desire has been to have the tables aud compila- tions finished within a year after the enumer- ation was completed. At any rate, they wlil be Teady in but little over a year.” FORTHCOMING REPORTS. “Will you publish anything before next De- cember?” asked the reporter, “Yes; I will have published by that time about fifteen reports on different subjects. They will be in quarto volumes,each subject to itself. ‘There 1s not, I think, any reason for publishing these reports together for indiscriminate dis- tribution. People interested in cotton statis- tes don’t care much for those of tron manutfac- tures. Money will be saved by furnishing each man what he wants. My idea is, after all of the reports are published separately to get out @ uniform edition of the whole for diatripu- tlop, as Congress may direct. That, I take, 1t will be done as in the case of the Centennial exhibition reports. It will be for the pt 3e of permanent record. I am authorized by Con- gress to publish 5,000 copies of each report that 18 completed before next December. Then Con- etre Will make further provisions for publi- cation.” “Have you many applications for stattstics.” “Thousands daily, My desk 1s covered witn letters and telegrams received from people who Want a Certain Class of statistics. They are only interested in exactly what they want and Cannot porstbly see why their statistics should not be completed ahead of everything else. ‘The boards of apportionment in the different states, publishers of gazeteers, directorles and everybody whose business deals in figures are Clamorous for certain results of our work, and will not be satisfied until they get them.” STATISTICAL MAPS. “Will your reports have maps to illustrate them?” ‘ “We are at work now on statistical maps, ‘These show such facts as the density of popu- lation, where the colored peopleare, where the foreigners are, <c. We will use a great many of these maps to show at a glance the resulis of the work.” THE CENSUS OF 1S70. “ Are you better satisfied with the result of this census than with the census of 1870?” “There is no comparison between them, This census is 80 immeasurably the superior of that of 1s70 that they should hardly be men- tioned together. We actually had to put oat works in the 1870 census with brands on them. We had to state that the statistics in a number of reports were incomplete and unreliable. One report, I stated, was wholly worthless, and Should not be published. But Congress ordered their publication and they had to be sent out. We had not the facilities nor the authority for collecting statistics that we now have. Ido not say that allof the figures of the present census are absolutely correct. To attain per- fection 1s imposstble. But for all purposes and for every use they are correct. The accuracy has increased in proportion with the increase in the range of statistics.” PROPOSED BUREAU OF STATISTICS. The reporter called the attention of Gen. Walker to the proposition that a permanent office of statistics, growing out of the census work, be established. “I think that is a very good idea,” he said. “I can speak disinterestedly on the subject, as I have other plans when my work here {s through. I would have that office, however, embrace all the statistical work done by the government. The Treasury statistics bureau and the statistics ited by the Department of Agriculture would be brought under the new office. The advantages of the work proposed would be very great and are too many to men- ton. Established as it would be on the basis cf the work of the present census, it would make the inauguration of the next census more prompt and much less expensive. The office could gather a very large quantity of statistics each year that would be of great value. It could keep in oi ndence .with the statistics bureaus of the different states and introduce a uniform system, an object that 1s Breatly to be desired. It could also by its work keep approximately apace with the growth of popu- lation and everything that the census embraces so thateach year we would know pretty well how we stand. I would not, however, see such an office established unless there was at its head astatisticlan with @ natural inclination for the work—one who {s trained, careful and conscientious. There is nothing worse than a bad statistician, and there are no greater liars than figures mishandled or managed so as to prove @ theory. There may be sensation in Statistics. A man may supply figures to suit himself when he has them not. He may use them to prove what he wants to. There are veay few men who are trained ia figures, There are plenty who are always dabbling in-them. A men must be able to be valuable in collecting Statistics to discount therm and make a com- pact and homogeneous resuit.” ‘What branch of your work will continue the longest?” asked the reporter. =I “The work of applying the ed upon one subject to that upon another. Very few peo- ple can work a this. The railroad statistics will be comparéd, for instance, with the popu- lation, ‘There 1s a close connection between fhe two. By the one we can : 2, with reports on other subjects. We will also get out a condensed statement,giving what you Call the “meat” of the whole work without any tables in detail or comparisons,” Alexandria To-day. (Reported for the Star.)

No Concentration on Candidates— Conkling Declines to Withdraw— Both Sides Oppose Cornell. [Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Star.) ALBany, June 1. The Senatorial contest remains to-day un- changed. The stories circulated late last night that Gov. Cornell had written a letter taking Bis Dame out of the list of candidates cannot be corroborated. No such letter can be found, nor aby person who has seen It, Mr, Conkling and Mr. Platt are holding their forces. The administration men have made no attempt to concentrate upon candidates, but are still an army united only in opposition to Conkling and Platt, the friends of each person named hoping that in the end lightaing will strike them. The dark horses are more numerous than ever before.

CORNELL CRITICISED. The rumors as to possible Senatorial combl- nations began to flow thick and fast soon after the adjournment of the Jegisiature, Some sug- ested in case of the withdrawal of Senator Conkling such 4 combination as Cornell and Crowley, and others Cornell aud Dopaw or Cor- nell and Wadsworth. One particularly notice able feature Of to-night’s discussions 18 on the | part of certain prominent antl-administration- ists to severely criticise Gov. Cornell. M: any | of them go so far as to impeach the governor | openly as a traitor to the cause of isp | Patron and life long friend. One of the most | Béluential of this class of crit | dened himself on the situation io-nught: “Mr. | Conkling and Mr. Piatt are apparently check. litical thus unbar- mated 80 far as this open! cerned. They made their Nght and woul some candl- dates are agreed upon acceptable to those who have been steadfastly true to the party during Adeatiock. The seentas _ — hope will not > without iy agreement. Bat you can rest assured that_Alonfo It Cornell will not be one of the su 1 Senatorial candidates. Gor- nell hes all along played double in this matter. | He has tried to create a nucleus around which ‘his personal followers would circle, but he will be ee up, and the gentlemen who have signified thelr intention of standing by Roscoe Conkling will remain as steadfast as the “306” at the Chicago convention, even if their num- bers in this fight only stand’at thirty-five, Cor- nell bas played spol ng of an ingrate toward the man who has him what he is. Roscoe Conkling fought for him during the adminis- tration of Hayes. He made him governor, and now he endeavors for his own self-ambition to ‘smite the hands that gave him bread. But you can rest assured he will never reach this eleva- ‘ion he seeks at the hands of the present legis- lature. Those who to-day voted for Roscoe Conkling will continue to do so until some — acceptable to them shall be brought for- AFTER THE BATTLE. The Sym correspondent writes: “The result of the proceedings in both Houses was quickly brought to the ears of Messrs Platt and Con! ng. Within half an hour the Governor's car- Tlage was driven to the hotel. The Governor alighted end went up to Mr. Conkilng’s parlor. He was closeted with the ex-Senators and tur Vice President for an hour or more. After his departure the few stalwart scouts made a slight demonstration, but the firing was scat ering and quickly died away. 1a the eventag the Corridors were crowded, and there was a fringe of talkative politicians on the street. The rural element, however, was largely In the ma- jority, and the drumming on behalf of the the Betrayed Fisherman of Franklin and others Te quite lively. A few of the stalwart tron- | clads were murmuring. While declaring un- wavering fidelity to Mr. Conkling, they thought 1t hard that they should be asked to stand tn front of the guns and bave their bodies seat- tered over the state. They thought that Conk- Ung and Platt ought to withdraw and give them a chance for life, A little after dark Mr. Conkling again ap- peared in the corridors of the Delavan. He was neatly dressed, but the nes on his face were Geeper and his peaked goatee seemed sharper then usval. The defiant curl stiil rolled itself on his bump of veneration; but he looked care- worn and haggard. Muci sympathy was pri- vately expressed for him. Leonidas and his Spartan band were falling, and Xerxes Blaine atid bis 100,000 officeholders were trying toforce the pass. The eager admirers who had flocked about the fallen statesman a week were gone, and, asi¢e from Payn, Arthur, Dutcher and @ few others, only the veriest political tramps remained. "Two of these listened to the ex-Senator for ten minutes, when he buried himself in his a) ents. A few stalwart assemblymen talked significantly of the with- drawal of Senator Platt, but it 1s understood that this will also involve the withdrawal of Mr. Conkling. He is ‘Apparently still determined to stand or fall with Platt. No deflatte plan of action, beyond @ blind vote for both of the can- didates, scems to have been devised. The Blaine cohorts appear undectded,although it 1s evident that Woodin ts endeavoring t> maneuver them with @ special object in view. ‘Some say that is the electionof Depew. Thers 1s certainly bad blood between the Depew ant Wheeler men.” NOT HANKERING FOR SUICIDE. ‘The Tri/wie correspondent says: “Po youn : men serving their first or second year in th legislature ge) yn Of suicide offers few | attractions. They begin to have a desire to | attach themselves to some man who will not take them down into the grave. ‘To these men | Governor Cornell, in the present situation or affair, seems the strongest man to tle to, and there are symptoms that young men of this clags are getting a little anxious for the time to arrive when Mr. Conkling will release them, Indeed, if the ex-Senator could hear all the re- marks thatare made by his own sup) | upon the magnantmity of bis present course he | might be disagreeably surprised. One of these, | who speaks in the language of the primaries, ‘ook bis hat off to-day when he met a friend, mopped bis head in a hopeless manner, sighed adeep sigh and sald: ‘What a cursed outrage it is for these two men to us here before Ubls battery of rifled cannon while our inwards are blown from one end to the other of this great state.’ None of the men who share this feeling seem to bave any hopes of Mr. Conkling’s withdrawal. It was known that a conference Was held last night in ex-Senator Conkling’s room, at which Gen. Arthur, Jonn F. ex Marshal Payn and the usual company were present. It was decided, after a long discussion, that the two candidates should ‘stick.’ It is a question, of course, whether the members will stick as long as the cand@ates, or whether 1 ay of those who see safe ground between the two factions in the support of Governor Cor- nell, can be held very long. The governor is said to have repeated this afternoon his assur- ances that he Was not a candidate, and that his {riends could not show their a = by voting for bim. But in spite of a! his possible Candidacy remains the most important fact in the present situation, and many are icting that he will be the first Senator elected. ‘The practical abolition of the caucus which has taken place raises a bew difficulty for can- didates. In a caucus 54 voles would nominate, and thus secure an election. In a ballot with- out @ caucus SI votes must be had to elect a candidate, and it is easy to understand that this will ‘be uphill work for almost any man, unless there is a genuine stampede. A leader of the administration men said yesterday that he thought that when any candidate recelved 65 votes that would settle the matter, and the Test would foliow immediately.” A DISPASSIONATE VIEW OF THE SITUATION. ‘The New York Tisnes to-day says e-‘ltorially: “Should the jolnt convention to day muster 159 members and the votes of yesterday be Tepeated, Mr. Conkitpg will lack 45 votes and Mr. Platt 51 votes of a majority.
