NOTABLE GATHERING OF STATESM New Youx, May21-1a. w.—There | 5 was a notable gathering of statesmen, at the Fiith Avenue hotel yesterday morning. Among them were Senator Hale, of Maine, cx-Senator Barnumr, of Connecticut; Gov. Foster, of Ohio: and Gon, Thomas Ewing. A number of prominent politieians called upon them, who manifested great interest in the issue at Albany, which formed the wholesubject of conversation. In conversation with Gen. Ewing, he said: ““The Conkling affair did not make much difference in his state one way or the other. The issue is con- fined to New York and the disposition in Ohio was to let the divided factions fight out their own battles here, and herealone.” In regardto a deal in Al- bany between ‘‘half breeds” and the democratic members of the legislature, | Gen. Ewing said: “He had no faith in | any such deal.

He foeis san- guine that the next presidential elec- tion will be very different in its result from the last one. A reaction is set- ting in throughout several states,which way receive a powerful impetus from the present rupture in tho ranks of the ropublicar - party. He did not coincide in the opinion ex- pressed freely even in the republican Journals throughout the country that Conkling would carry his hostilities to extremes in order to accomplisir his, revenge and ruin his party if he-can- not rule. It was never desizned in our republican system that any one man, or score of men, should overawe the executive and paralyze the func- tions of the administration. T believe firmly that Conkling will succumb to the inevitable and gracefully retire. ‘WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

CHcaGo, May 20—4 p. m.—At the Tenth ward land league mecting 1 st night, the members passed a ro%olu- tion to the effect that they would have no business relations whateyer with Trishmen who were not members of the land league, or of some or- ganization having forits object the independence of Ireland ———— Tunneling the St. Lawrence. Walter Shanley, the eminent tunncl engineer, completed his report re- cently as to the feasibility of con- structing a railway tunnel under the St. Lawrence river between Longrenl] and Hochelaga, and has_dispatched it to the governor in council and the rail- ways interested in the project. The Times correspondent was permitted to make the following summary: The character of the rock ata depth of fifty-six feet was found to_be Utica shale, lying in horizontal “deposits, which réduced by a large percentage the chances of meeting with fissures or faults in the rock. ~The presence of rock limestone, which was dreaded, was not discovered in any part of the survey. Having to go much lower to reach. the rock, the grades of the track will be heavier than anticipated on the north shore, where the dip of the rock is low, the water in the river comparatively deep, and the present track close to the shore. The grade will be one hundred and five feet to the mile. - On the op- posite shore, where the conditions are more favorable, it will bo eighty-five feet to the mile. Attention 1s called to the fact that as heavy traffic will go principally toward the south the steepness on_the north shore will not be’ particularly objectionable. ike ents are to be found elsewhere. night shift | g400, and even steeper ones are inexistence, over which heavy trafic is successfully carried on. Two routes have been surveyed. The cost of No 1 is esti- mated at $3,800,000, and of No. 2, $1,100,000, ' These estimates provide fof the Righest charaoter onhawcr:,[ allowances are made for contingencies. No, 1 route will be selected, and it 1s mplated to make lwnflflenblbfierndnm :; estimated cost tter. ali the r mbgha northshore. The tunnel , will bo twenty-six feet wide ,and twenty-three _ feet Tigh, giving ample room for double racks. ith i favorable citeunistinces, the tunmel can be com- pleted within three There aro ‘nine roads in the success of tho tunnel, the Occidental, the Can- ada Pacific, Canada Centrals: ¢ & Ontario, Southeastern, Deldware & Hudson, the - proposed Soath Shore Intcrnational, and the intercolonial with .all their conneotions, and other roads as well. Tt is shown that all of these ronds, throwing their influence in favor of traffio by the tunnel, will cause an immense volume of trade to pass through it, . If the cost. is put at ,000, an annaat-dividend o fR cent. would amount to $28,000. ° tariff, will, of course, depend entirsly upon _ the number of cars - passing through. Two hundred and fiity ears at 86 cach, five hundred at 83, or one .50, would yield $1,500 per day. ehundred and thirteen working days in the year would thus give an annual revenue of §469,500 or 7 per cent. on a capital of £4,000,90. The promoters of the ‘grflject ve made arrangements in New York for gotting all the moneyfor the work. B ey A Handsome [Offer. The programme this year for Deco- ration day cannot-be very elaborate, owing t6 a lack of funds. Much, no doubt, will be done by private effort, and a proposition has been made which should by all means be assisted to final accomplishment. It is to paint a large banner, picturing a Union soldier decorating the grave of a confederate, with an allegorical representation in the back ground of the blue and gray joining hands. Mr. Herbert G. Conner, the artist, has kindly conseiited to do the work without charge, which is equal to a contribution of one hundred dolfars. All that is wanted is the canvass and frame work, which would cost less than twenty-five dollars. It is pro- posed to rest the banmer * and frame on bars, the whole. to be carried by four uniformed ~men. This banner wouldbe agreat feature in the procession, and it “would be emblimatic of that feeling between the north and south which grows stronger and stronger with time. Possibly the matter may be accom- plished with one subscription, should some such kind-hearted citizen turn up, but surely there will be :somé one to interest himself and collect the amount from his friends. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. THE C. ST. P. M. & O. LINE. Making It One of the Most Pop- ‘ular Lines of the Northwest. Local _ticket rates on the North Wisconsin and Nebraska Divisions have recently been reduced from b to 4 cents per mile, makinga uniform rate of 4 cents per mile over all por- tions of this Company's Line. Reund Trip Tickets will also be placed on sale at all stations on the line, in Wis- consin, Minnesota, Towa, Dakota and Nebraska, at a great-reduction from single trip rates. In addition to thismatter of reduced rates we would say that the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Line is first - class in *all- its appoint- ments, keeps up with the times, offers every convenience for local as well as through travel, runs through passenger trains between. St. Paul and Chicago with Pullman ace sleeping cars on both day and night trains, and is the anly line from St. Paul to_Chicago that runs these cars; it 15 also the only line that offers the traveling public_through cars be- twoen St. Paul and Council Bluffs. Coal burning engines and ncwba;:i ze, express and smoking cars an coaches, with eyery improvement :n_.f being added to the already large equipment, so that the business of the line can be conducted with safety and dispateh and with sa patrons. & Railway lines that offer these com- forts and conveniences for travel in |* connection with réasonable rates for freight and passage, are the lines that invite emigration and that the people eteonize, and one of theso leading ines of railway, made so by the liber- al policy of its management, is the Chicago, $t. Paul, Minneepolis & Omaha, which forms the Chicago & St. Paul through line by way of Elrey and Madison, Wisconsin, and also forms the St. Paul & Omaha short line, through Sionx City and Couneil Bluffs, Towa. When you travel from station to station remember the savin by purchasing round trip tickets, a Wwhen going to or from the north to the east or south, purchaso through tickets over these short through routes of the C., St. P., M. & O. line, and you will secure the very lowest rates offered.
