CONKLING'S BROTHER SPEAKS. New ¥ork, May 17— p. m.—The nearest man to Senator Conkling, be- ing probably the only one who shares his entire confidence and yet his most open political opponent, is his brother Frederick Conkling, of ‘this city. In &n intorview with an agent of the National Associated Press, he said: ““The senator is in earnest. He did e has been arriving at his tion for the past ten days. He means to seek the same kind of vindieation that Jashua R Giddings of the Westorn reservation sought and obtained twenty-five years azo. He arose in the senate and gave in his resignation, went home and ap- Jealed to the people of his diszic.. ey all, without distinction of pariy, united and returned him. Senato.

C., May 1710 p.m. The gossips who yesterday spent their foroe wondering what the rosignation of Opnkling and Platt might mean, to-day find plenty of comments. Senator Ben Hill said this mornin: the letter was certainly carefully writ- ten,and doubtless was a fair statement of the writer’s views. - The democrats had no right to judze of the correct- mess of any republican views from their own standpomt and Senator Hill has therefore refused to say anything more. nator Groom said: “Life is too | t 1o read the Jetter so early in the He had rend enough of it to been preity well expressedin the pross dwring the fight -and he couldn t se hat more there was to saythathadn’s fiooh sad over and over azain.

THE SENSATION OF THE HOUR. Wasuixarox, May 18 -1 a. m. The Conkling-Platt resignation still the topicof the hour, and appar- ently wiil be indefinitely. On all sides are heard dej on_of the course of the New Senators. The publication of their letter of ex- : ety in « . Here in Washington. only muwl-dged warm personal friends of Conkl look with favor on his action, an even some of these people prefer si- lence to an expression of candid opin- ion, while others, who have stood by him through thick and thin, do not hesitate to openly condemn his course. The hardest cut of all comes from his committee —that on commerce. At the meeting yesterday morning all the members were present except the chairman, whose place was assumed by Senator ‘McMillan, of Minnesota. In his earlier hopes of support in his. committee Conkling counted Jon of Nevada, McMillan, Farley an Ransom, as his friends. On their votes and his own he relied for an ad- verse report on Robertson's nomina- tion. When the vote was taken in the committee to-day there was only one vote in opposition to a favorable rec- ommendation and that was cast b Senator Jones, of Nevada. Mr.Mc- {:{iuen'- reasons for desiring a favora- le report, it has been suggesied, have sprung from the guou\'erym.r{' Conkling's forlorn hope and desire to be on the winning side.

Y., May 17—1a. m,—The resignation of Senators Conkling and Platt caused great ex- citement here, the republicans be equally divided on the subject. Tk stalwart republicans almost unan mously sustain the president and are circulating petitions to the legislature against the re-election of both sena- tors. In the town of Lisle a Garfield ban- nerhas been put up. GOV, POSTER IN NEW YORK. New Yorx, May 18—1 a. m. - Gov. Foster, of Ohio, arrived in this city Monday night from Washington. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning he held an informal levee of anxious inquirers in hi:nxnnb:fwTr whicl_-‘ he ):ned to e Twenty-fourth street e Jlard St et S oy Rice, and led back in triumph into the corridor. There b held another inguiry meeting, at which Postmaster l;‘qetmrm, “Marshall Jewell, Dwight Lawrence, Geo. Bliss, ex-Judge Dit- tenhoefer and a large number of oth- ers were present, anxious to hear from the front. The mian from Ohio, was not committal, however, unless taken unawares. ~ The governor said, in an- swer to the query of how great a sur- ise Cor action was to the : “Senator Platt told me intended to resign, and that his inten- tion was formed last Thursday, and that he stated the fact both to the president and Conkling. Conkling's action was not eutirely a surprise to the president and his advisers when Platt communicated his intention. As ‘twenty-six out of thirty-seven repub- licans had signified their intention of voting to confirm Robertson, he (Conkling) saw that the game was up, and confidentially declared his inten- tion of resigning with Platt.” “Have therumors that the relations botween the two senators from New York were unfriendly, any founda- tion? Tt appears,” answered Gov. Fos- ter, ““that both Gov. Cornell and' Sen- ator Platt had decided to support Robertson, because the a course would harms the discord- ant element in New When | Conkling, however, learned of the nomination and their determination, he was so indignant that they were compelled to withhold their consent. I there any possibility of the » ignation of cither Arthur or James! “In myjudgment, Mr, Conklin alone is responsible for this action an will stand or fall by its result.” “Don’t you think it will be a fall?” ““On that question T am not prepar- od to express an _opinion, but of this you can be certain that Robertson’s name will not be withdrawn, unless at his own request As far as i e on_the president i concerned, this strike of Conkling's will fall very fiat.” The Governor said in parting that Conkling had asked asa; mal favor that Platt would allow his colleague’s Tesignation to be read first to the sen: ate. MARSHALL JEWELL TALES. Hon. Marshall Jewe, of Hartford, was leaning against a pillar in the cor. ridor of the Avenue hotel, try- ing 0 light & cigar in_a draught of wind, when a reporter asked him what ing’s resignation meant. I don't know,” said he, as he struck another_ match and whisked a Tock of hair out of his eyes. It is a surprise to evergbody. Big chan- ces to take, very big; but Conkling does nothing by hals “Do you think it will worrythe president?” ““Not enough to loso him any sleep I don’t think it will have the effest Conkling expected. Of course it means an endorsement by the legislature, but that is really all that will be gain® b “Will it affect Mr. Robertson's chances?” “I don't think so. Tt would seem that he will not withdraw Robertson’s name under any circumstances. ONLY ONE ENDORSEMENT FOR CONKLING. Amaxy, May 18—1 a. m.—The republican general committee met last night. The meeting was the largest ever held and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Hon. Andrew A. Draper was elected president. Resolutions endorsing the action of Senators Conkling and Platt were unanimously adopted, and copies were ordered pub- lished in all the city papers and sent to President Garfield. he following are the resolutions adopted by the re- publican general committee of Albany county: Resolved, That we Jdeeply deplore tae course recently pursued by the president in attempting to force the senate of the United States to ap- we of the nomination of William . Robertson to be collector of the, port of New York, when no vacaricy exists in said office, and without other cause than fo” pay & personal political obligation, which obligation was cre- ated through the treachery of said nominee to the regular republican organization in the state, and that we earnestly and confidently express the hope that the legislature of the state of New York will promptly stamp its condemnation uponthe act by ra-elect- ing Senators Conkling and_ Platt to the positions they have felt called upon to Tesign in the senate. The New York Press. THE HERALD. National Asodiated Press. New York, May 16—10 p. m.— The Herald says to-d: “The truth is from the beginning Garfield has committed himself irrevocably to Blaine, and in Jus dealings with Conk- policy of duplicity. Garfield may yet retrieve himself. - Conkling resigns in interest of peace. In the nter- est of peace let Blaine retire from the state department, and let the other cabinet officers all without special force or value bequartered clsewhere.” SUS. After four years of conflict with one republican adminis- tration which he despised, Conkling finds another four years of similar con- flict forced upon him by another re- publican administration which he es- ially cleoted, and which he is alio compelled todespise. Such a conflict, if ed, can only destroy the re- i y, and for a_cafastrophe 20 great he is not_ willing in any de- gree to bo responsible.” THE TRIBUNE. * Tiic Tribune says it is a_theatrical AF-| exit like that of a French lover who mistress and leaving the house vowing 'never to return, but always leaving his umbrella, in order to have an ex- adjourned it was announced that there wmmfln_— cuse to get back. don’t me n to I-nd:‘:-auu.

The Star says Conkling resigned and dragged Platt out with him. For no other reason than because he is not allowed to be boss of New York and dustribute patronage, he has betrayed his party by handing over the major- ity of the senate to the democrats. We search history in vain for any precedent for Conkling's ecurse. CONKLING'S BROTHER INTERVIEWED. New Yok, May 17—10 p. m.— Frederick A. Conkling, brother of Senator Conkling, in an interview to- day stated that the legislature will re- fuse to return Senators Conkling and Platt to the senate. “A careful canvass of the assembly convinces me,” sald Mr. Conkling, “‘that the anti-Grant repubkicans wil refuse to go into caucus and will com- bine aganst the caucus nominee. There are seven democrats and twen- ty-five republicans in the state senate. Fourteen of the republicans will refuse t0 go into caucus. In the house there are forty-six democrats, one indepen- dent and cighty-one republicans. A majority of these are from New York city, and they will stay out of the cau- cus._The caucus nominees—Conkling. and Platt—will be defeated, the anti- Grant republicans will combine with the democrats and elect to Conkling and Platt’s places an independent re- publican and a democrat. I am con- vinced this will be the result.” SENATE. al Associated Press. WasHIsarox, May 17.—The senate met at the usual hour.

Badean’s promptly declining to acoapt the new place to which he was to be sent. These nominations summoned every member of the senate to say whether he advised such transaction. The movement was more than a surprise.

Forr Niosrara, Nev., May 12.— Licutenant Cherry's remains were brought into the Fort this morning and will be buried to-morrow.

Locke then rode up beside him and shot him through the left side, the ball passing through the left arm into the heart, killing him instantly. ~ Locke then turned and fired at Conroy the sec- ond time, the ball striking him in the right side, merely inflicting a flesh wound.

Cherry will offer a reward for the body of the murderer. Lieut.
