Arkdell eaid it was essential that the resolution be passad soon, in order that tho pressure of sentiment would be brought to bear on congress. Ths resolu- tion and project were for the interest of this state, at the present, grain rates from St. Paul bythe way of Chicago were twelve conts por bushel, while by the water ronte and by the way of Baltimore they were only eight cents, this discrimination told against New York’s commercial supremacy and proposed canal, It was believed it would ‘restore to New York her natural advantages, Mr, Lansing said the canal would send 400,000,000 bushels of wheat through New York state, He was surprised to seo New York City sen- ators, who favored fres canals, opposing his Hennepin canal, which wonld give New York the commerce which southern railroads now attract. Mr, Robb said that demo- crat he could not vote for this resolution, He believed that the state of Illinois, and not the Federal ernment, should build the Henne pin canal, if 1tis to be built.

Hisinterview with him was long and in the fullest confidence, Cleveland earnestly desires Randall to accept a place in his cabinet, He has tendeted him the posi- tion of secretary of the treasury. Whether or not Randall will accept is uncertain, He knows that to leave the make up of the next houge to Carlisle with his own pame out of thelist is to run a nisk of that body, being tucned over absolutely to free tradeism, So long as Randall romaing thero he is pretty sure to be the head of the appropriation com mittee, or in a position to control to a great extent the legislaiion there He is afraid of the result to the party if he should go out of the house, without some assurance as to_how the appropriation committee will be made up in the next congress. If he can be assured that Holman will be made the head of that ommittee with Burns second he will be will- ing to intrust the control of purse strings to them, and will bo willing to accept the treasury portfolio, which Cleveland earnoutly desires him to have. It is to talk frankly with Cleveland about the make up of the next house, in case of his re-election now conceded, and in case of Randalls retirement, that Cleyeland has called him to Albany, If his pledges are such that Randall can feel justi- fied in leaving the house, ho will accept the treasury portfolio, which Cleveland has for months been urging upon him, ‘Washington Gossip, Special telegram to Tar Brk, WASHINGTON, January 30.~A numerously signed memorial was presented in the senate to-day, the principal signers being prominent The houge foreign affairs committee to.day largo New York to oppose any movement in the sympathizing with inson says, if any reeoiution_comes before the house on the subject, ho will offer an amend- ment sympathizing with Treland in her efforts Representative Glascock, of California, said to-day that the Pacific coast states were prob- ably the largest losers by the defeat of the Nicaraguan _treaty, and that it looked to him as if the Nicaraguan canal would not be heard of again.
