Nhw Yokk, May 21.— The ■ Cci* -n^e:al*s ',
Albany special says: The city is nearly empty
of Representatives to-day. < They have all gone'
home to learn the views of their constituents
in regard to the Senatorial election. Before
they left, the tide had evidently turned, and
coming down to hard facts, it was seen that the
"half-breed" brags had not been warranted by
facts. Conkling's friends have been quiet, and
nave made no demonstration, mainly because
they have been without a leader. Now, while
Conkling may take no part in the contest, the
7ice President will be here, and he is posting
himself. People seem to have forgotten that
X>ar'ty rules must be observed— that the caucus
committee will call a caucus; that the*e Re
publicans who refuse to go into the caucus, or
who on going in refuse to be bound by the de
cifilon, will be bolters v and as such expelled
from the organization, and that henceforth
they will have nothing to say as to party man
agers, and will be excluded from its conven
tions. When these plain facts are considered,
the half-breed boasts do not pan out so well
M they did two or three days ago.
The Express* Albany's special says there is
no question but that the half-breeds have vie
toryin their own hands if they en utilize it.
The leaders, while they are shrewd and careful
men in many respects, are by no means equal
t« those on the other Bide in wire-pulling and
f»oliticai sagacity, and in studying to maka
the Lest use of every slight advautage. One
thing is ab=olntelv certain, that no comprom
ise will be affected which will bring about a
. fturn of Conkline or Plsttt to the Senate. An
.j#ort, I understand, has been made by the stal
wart leader to come here and direct the fight
in person. This will no doubt be done, if
Oonkling inteuda not to return to the Senate,
an* will considerably strengthen his follow
ers. Should he come to force his own elec
tion, he can accomplish nothing, for, as I
mentioned before, by no system of manipula
tion can it be accomplished. :i
'I'he Watcher* at Washington.
Washington, May 21.— Democratic
leaders are watching the situation .at Albany
closely with a view of getting one Senator if
possible. If that cannot be done the Demo
cratic members of the New York legislature
will vote wiih the stalwarts for Conkling.
Dispatches received here by prominent Demo
crats from party leaders in New York indicate
this policy, and it meets with the general Dem
ocratic approval here, on tha ground that the
Democrats 6hould assist to send Conkling
back to continue his opposition to the admin
istration.
Several prominent administration Republi
cans of New York, who*have been here watch
ing events, leave to-night for Albany. They
spent some time with Secretary Blame this
morning and got the views and policy of the
administration in regard to the New York Sen
atorial election. '1 he administration is . desir
ous of having two Republican Senators in
place of Conkling; and Platt who will be in
harmony with the administration. It is un
dars<ood this is what Blame stated to-day, to
gether with advice as to the. Senatorial elec
tion. ' ■■/: : .
Anonymous atul Newspaper Opinion*:
Nhw York, May 2L ---The , Times | Albany
correspondent says: While there " is no op
position to the candidacy of Got. Cornell
among Republicans of the Conkling type, it is
astonishing to find, how easy it is for them to
find why Gov. Oornell , should not be sent to
the Senate. They any the State has only just
elected him; that he 'is too -valuable a man
to be spared just a3 he has j made a record as
one of the most "• careful governors that
over sat in thai executive chair, and that it
-would be running a risk to let him resign the
office into the hands of Lieut. Gov. Hopkins,
Talking with a man well known as an admir
er of both Conkling and , Cornell, he said to
day, "I don't believe Cornell would take it.
He is very desirous to serve out his term for
which h2 was elected governor. I can see
plainly that he would be cordially
supported by b*th half-breeds and stalwarts,
but if Senator Gonkltßg desires to go back,
tho Governor would not allow his name men
tioned as his opponent." "Suppose then,"
I asked the correspondent, "Conkling :is found
to be oat of the question, what
would be the effect of Cornell's
election, even if Oonkling did not
saßction it?" To talk facts squarely, I must
admit that the nomination of Gov. Cornell
and Borne man selected by: the half- breeds,
would be extremely popular. | Both would be
ejected without opposition, it would not
unite the Republican party in the State.
There would be - a ■ . , division
of the Conkling men, and half of them, or
more, would work with : the -half- breeds
in wiataining the administration. I must ad
mit, to be frank, that such a combination
would destroy Gonkling'a influence in State
politics."..
A gentleman who has been a political aad
secret friend of Conkling many years, and to
whom the ex-Senator has been accustomed to
confide his inmost thoughts, said to a Times
reporter wheu asked if Oonkling was a can
didate for the office be had resigned, "Candi
date is a very bad term and has a
wide 6igniflicaiM:e. There aro different kinds
; of candidates for an office of the dignity of
United States Senator. , There are candidates
who seek office, and candidates who do not.
Qonkling said to ;me just before
resigning, ,1 am weary of this
■ ! continued strife, i lam tired and want rest. 1 I
know his motive in resigning was an honest
. one. But if again tendered him by the legisla
' tare he would probably allow hia convictions
of his duty to his State to overcome any feel
of personal convenience.; ~ r In, such.
A case I ■ think he would ".' without
: doubt accept again the great trust which he
laid down. *. "But" said the reporter, "you
• Imow that the contest for the nomination is
, to be a terrific one. llt will not be tendered to
Conkling in the manner in which you speak.
If he wants his seat again he has got to work
for it. "Then," said the gentleman, with
emphasis, ! "I ;• can tell you with ■■ authority
that he will not turn over his hand to secure
it. It ' must come to him in the way I have
described or be will not accept it." In oppo
sition to this view of, the situation was the
statement ■of a ' gentleman 'fi om the
. . anterior of • the •> ■ State, i who tis an
acknowledged authority in political matteie.
This gentleman said "both Oonkjing and Platt
not only desire to be re-elected, but are bend
ing all their energies to secure \ the fulfillment
of their wishes; and have been doing so ever
since the day of their resignation. Gov. Cor
aril, with all his friends," the gentleman said,
"are engaged extensively in the .campaign for
the two Px-Senalors, and Governor Hazard and
- his friends are to be in Albany on Tuesday to
take part in the fight. In the case of Oonk
, ling the chances are in favor of his being sue-'
; cessful, because the State can hardly 'afford to
. allow so ?j! brilliant ? a man -n to i leave
-- „, its service. But with" Platt it is different, and
«»e probability is 'that he will fail to secure
'■"■'• the iionor which he seeks." •. -y. -- ■■-:.--. .-.-; .: : * • t
, ; The TVttmae says: It was stated by Mar-'
shall Payne, 6«nator Strahn; Commissioner
gp Van. ott and others that a. more formal con
•, ference .^had.r,- arranged for " to
, morrow, .when r a ." plan \ ui f be ? fully
decided upon. For the present, however it is
the ! intention of | Oonkling and Platt, they
said, to place themselves in . the hands of their
• > friends. Their names will be used at Albany
as candidates for re-election. The leaders of
the machine ; will go to Albany Monday and
Sunday
begin an active canvass for the re-election of
the Senators. All the power
of the organization will be used for this pur
pose. If, after the caucus, it is j ascertained
the Senators cannot be elected then their names
will be withdrawn with no sentiment on their
part that they ever intended to be a endidates.
This is the plan. ; • S :
' ROBEBTSOK AND TBS NBWS. - ■" ■ \^i
New Yobk, May Judge Robertson says
to a Tribune reporter, that forty-five votes
will stay out of the Conkling-Platt caucus at
Albany, and neither of the '? gentlemen ■ can be
re-elected. The News says Conkling's friends,
euch as John - T. Bmyth, say that he
can be > re-elected without ; great difficulty,
but that it would , ; j:5 be impossible
to elect Platt again"' They urge tho Senator
to become a candidate with Judge Folger, or
some one not closely identified with* the ma
chine. Conkling, however,' has decided not to
be a candidate, under circumstances, un
less Pt&tt can be elected With him. This be
ing impossible,' it may be set down aa a settled
thing that neither ' will be candidates ] t\ . ',"; \
'f ; ' "- CONKLINO'B KEOEPTION. ' !,;.
New Yobk, May 21.— A conference" of
Senator Conkling's friends did not take place
tonight as expected . The Senator had a re
ception in his parlor at the hotel, however,
and although representatives of the press
were not admitted nor granted an interview,
it was learned that the Senator refused to say
much regarding the matter of his candidacy
for re-election. The lobby, of tbe hotel was
crowded during the evening with politicians
of every class. Many admirers of the Sena
tors sent up their cards, but only a small pro
portion were granted an audience. Ex-
Senator Platt arrived early thi6 evening.
Among those who were been going into
Conkling's parlor were Ex-Minister Stough
ton, Fire Commissioner Van Cott, Ex-Con
gressman Lawson, Senator Jones, of Nevada,
Stale Senator Strahan, Unite States Marshal
McDuogall, of the northern district of New
York, A. B. Johnson, of the Republican State

A PITIABLE CASK.
A Young Woman Down iv the Street
in the Dead of Night to Die.
Aimost in the heart of (he saintly city of St.
Paul, surrounded by palatial business houses
and the luxury of peaceful, happy homes, at
2 o'clock j-esterday mom ing ]>oor Nellie Wil
liamson laid down in the street to die. There
at Seven corners, the aching heart aud sick
bat Bliapely forjn sought the cold hospitality of
the street, with nothing over it but God's beau
tiful canopy, with its million larajw of night.
This girl, who was sick unto death, :ind who
is the creature of man's perfidy at.d inhuman
ity, was found by Sergeant Morgan and aH offi
cer.
The grim officers of the law have a keener
insight and sympathy for unfortunate human
nature than many people suppose. They saw
at once that the case was not on a for the
courts, but that it required humane and care
ful treatment. Tenderly the girl was raised
up and carried to the city hall, where a doctor
was called and she was made us comfortable !
as possible. Yesterday morning a Globe re- i
porter called upon . the unfortunate creature
and found her suffering intense agony.
She is a > brunette with regular features, fine
eyes and shapely form. Her story is a sad one.
She stated that up to a few weeks ago she had j
worked for a man named William?, corner of
Fourth and Minnesota streets. She was taken
sick and had to leave; was offered and accepted
shelter with a lady, i residing on Wabashaw,
near. Tenth street. .- t The girl was to receive
care and treatment,' for which she: was to
render such service as her health would per
mit. ■.;■;,;*:■•■■./' ■ ' ■■ ■ :
She worked very hard, but unable to bear up
any ; longer, succumbed to the malady last
Thursday. On Friday evening the husband of
the nurse turned . her Into the street. This
was at 10 o'clock, and being without f Heads
and means, she dragged her sick body over the
streets until she sank from exhauatation. '
1 Yesterday afternoon she was removed to the
city hospital . .- . .,
Per contra, the lady with whom she was
stopping called at the Globb office last even
ing and emphatically denied- -that, her
husband had turned the girl out. ' The lady
alleges that illnes3 his aflictod the mind of the
girl, and she voluntarily left the house in the
evening, and wandered away. ; They searched
for her, and reported her absence at the city
hall, but were unable to find her until she
was picked up as described.

Stai;nton, Va., May 21. — In the Presbyter
ian general assembly to-day Dr. Girardon of
South Carolina, chairman, read a long aad ex
haustive report on the deaconate, In which the
relative functions of deacons and elders were
ably discussed. The report was an elaborate
argument In favor of reform in government,
though it was in direct connection with the
subject. The order of the day being the re
port on retrenchment and reform, Dr. Adgar
moved that the whole matter be postponed tiil
Monday, and be taken up after Dr. Girardon'R
report^ had been discussed. Dr. Lefebre, who
is recognized as leader of the]oppo6ition to the
reform movement, favored postponement of'
action on the elaborate report until the next
assembly. After considerable discussion, par
ticipated in by a number of the moct influen
tial ministers, the order of the day was taken
up by an overwhelming vote. This was look
ed upon as somewhat of a test question, and
Us result i 6 believed to have clearly foreshad
owed the defeat of the reformers, represented
by the minority report of the committee to
which the subject had been referred at the pro
vious assembly.
Dr. Hopkins, of Virginia, then presented
the majority report on reform: It recom
mended, first, that tbe five executive commis
sioners of the assembly be continued, as at
pre.-cot, and that the publication and cdnca
tion committees 6holl hereafter publish
monthly acknowledgments of all receipts.
Second, that the general asseubly shall exert
its influence on the lower courts to bring
about a rigid inspection of all accounts, and
systematic and exact management of moaey
matters by all diuconal officers.

The ftfth Avenue Opera eompauy is to open

latter, as produced by this company at Mil

"The opera is in itself charming. The
music is light, but even the cultured musician
findtt in It a degree of originality that explains
its favorable reception in the East. The cast
was well selected, Messrs. Henri Laurent, and
James Sturges and the Misses Hat tie Richard
son and Genevieve Reynolds sharing the
plaudits of the audience."
Of this company's presentation of "Oli
vette" the same paper said:
"One of the most entertaining comic
operettas ever given in Milwaukee, was the
Fifth Avenue Opera company's rendition of
Olivette at the Academy of Music last even
fng. Although tha audience was not large,
it was one of the most
thoroughly satisfied assemblages gathered in
Milwaukee in a long time. The operetta is
delightful, and has created a furore at the
East equaled only by Uft rage over Pinafore.
The singers were all equal to their parta, and
the performance could hardly have been better.

, From a society standpoint the past week has
been notable in but one ; respect,— namely, the
unusually large \ number ' of ' prominent ] wed
dings. There has been a fluttering of hearts.an
expenditure of orange blossoms, a display of .
lavender-white waistcoats, faultless ties, and
other accessories that to the male biped in
single wretchedness is absolutely appalling.
Like other maladies the matrimonial mania is
i infectious, and ; such is the force of example
that several young men. who have been on the
\ very suspender of suspense, have straightway
! gone and popped the question. v This in due
time HI will result : : in more music 'of the
triumphal -i order with '1 the usual melange of
scenic effects, congratulations and et ceteras.

21 The first of tits BUdwm afternoon Organ
Recitals occurred at the House of Hope
church lat 5 o'clock Friday. Nothing of the
kind has been attempted in 1 his city, with the
single exception of a similar series presented
at the Baptist church three years ago, by the
talented organist, Mr. Goodyear; and a certain
degree of novelty is accordingly associated
with • this sort of an entertainment in this
city. { 'l he Baldwin recital of < last Friday was
a decided success. First, because the day was
most beautiful and the hour a convenient one
for ladies to be out unattended; secondly, be
cause the programme was arranged bo as not
to let the heaviness of the ' greater portion of
the selections I fall , in too rapid succession nor
too' often on the listening ear. Nothing trivial
appeared on the programme, and yet there was
sufficient » j variety to ,• apparently please
all. Thirdly, the success of . the ! recital was
mainly due. to t Mr. Baldwin's skill in the
manipulation of his instrument. . His playing
evinced the '. conscientious study aad unwea
rying practice he has given during his absence
in Germany, as also the taste and wisdom of
the great Mecca under whom he studied. Mr.
Baldwin already possesses much of that which
technique can give '< and as he i is not hardly yet
out -of : -> his t teens, it is believed that he
will l *' J also" add ' what '". age ■' and <
experience r.jvisi'*: ; upposed 4 to afford.
A pleasing and prominent feature of | the % re
cital was the' excellent singing of Miss Thurs
ton. She betrayed great care and skill in \ her
vocaliflm, especially, in the selection of Rossini,
"Separation." The aria from Hoyden's cre
ation was also neatly done, though it seems
to us that oratorio selections require a larger
volume of voice than Miss Thurtton possesses
at the present time. The audknoe was much
larger than waa expected at ' the ; . first recital,
and argues tnat the others . will bo still . more
largely attended, 'especially; .: A3 all seemed,
thoroughly phased. j Another recital will oc- ,
carat five o'clock next Friday afternoon, ' and
Mr. Sajnor, a splendid baritone, recently loca
ted in St: Paul, will be the vocalist. ; ; vu
Silver Wedding.
The silver wedding anniversary of Mr. and
Mrs. Sherwood Hough occurred last Sunday
evening, bat for obvious reasons the occasion '
was celebrated on the evening before. The
cosy home of the nappy oonple on Tenth street
was the scene of one of the most enjoyable re
unions ever had in this city. Completely to
the surprise of Mr. Hough and his amiable
lady, the occasion was signalized by a visit from
their friends, who conceived the idea of mak
ing a spontaneous visit. The company as
sembled at 8 o'clock and bore down on the
hospitable roof tree en masse.
An evening was then had of memorable fes
tivity. Ihe latch string of the happy home
was loosened, and all were accorded a most
hearty welcome. The party brought with
them a substantial teetimeni&l of the esteem
in which they held the friendship of both
host and hostess. This consisted of a mag
nificent silver tea set, water set, goblets,
pitchers, and so forth. The presentation
speech was made by Mr. C. D. Strong. In ad
dition to this a private gift was received from
Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Strong, consisting of a
case of silver spoons and forks. Following
this came music, refreshments and dancing.
A letter accompanied the gift, which bore the
same of the donors as follows:
1856 to 1881.

At close of business to-day notices had been
received at the treasury department for cen
tinuing $209,479,800 of the 5 per cent, bonds.
In most instances the bonds are already re
ceived at the department. It is thought the
limit of $260,000,000 registered 5s which can
be converted into 3tf per centawill be reached
Monday next. Quite a large number of tele
grams were received at tho treasury depart
ment to-day inquiring if 6 per cent, bonds
would be accepted for conversion intoS^ per
cents if forwarded to-day. Tho following re
ply was telegraphed in each instance: "Dis

say, all the fives called recently by the -secre
tary of the treasury will have been extended.
the national bank circulation is higher to
day than ever before and is steadily rising. It
is nearly three hundred and sixty-three mil
lions. Gold and noto circulation remains
about where it is, because the law limits the
circuJati6n of a bank to $-50,000. Otherwise
it would increase. It is understood that an •
attempt will be made next session to extend
the circulation limit, to that a bank in Califor
nia, can Übub as many troll certificates as it de
sires. Despite the increase of national bank
circulation the demand for new notes still con
tinues. New England is most clamorous.
Investigation of the charees affeetiag the
official integrity of Col. J. P. Burnside, dis

Barton, prominently identified with sanitary
and hospital work during the civil war and
conspicuous during the Fninoo-Prus.-Un war,
as one of the red cross representatives,
read a piper showing the scope and efficiency
of the Red Cross societies in countries where
tbe order is recognized by government and ac
corded the powers and privileges which are
asked for it in the United States. Several of

cause. Notably, secretaries BUine, Windora
