SENATORIAL OPINIONS.
Senator Plumb was atTopckaou Moo-
day of this week, and was interviewed
by a reporter from the Common wealth.
The following opinions were elicited
from him on mailers of public interest :
There is, of course, a deep interest
taken by Republicans in Washington
concerning the senatorial situation at
Albany, as there lias been at all auees
of the Oookling-Garflcld imbroglio; hot
aa far as the cabinet is coocemol there is
little difference perceptible. That the
.members of the various department arc
in accord, and that all is workiug
smoothly, there is no doubt. The talk
about James or MacVcagh, or any mem
ber of Uie cabinet being upon uie hiiii
of tendering hrs resignation is wholly
sensational, wiuioul any ionnuaiion
in fact. Nor have the newspaper re
ports a crain of truth in them to the
effect that Blaine is attempting to exert.
or that ho has exerted, an undue inllu-
ence upon the President or Cabinet
James O. Blaine is not the Warwick of
tlila Aiimmmt ration nor has uo aspized
to that role. James A. Garfled, aa he
should be. to-day is every inch the Presi
dent au tho boiled' Slates. . Secretary
Blaine has not sought to extend his
influence beyond bis own department
This much in justice to him. Nor is it
true, that he baa been ill much of late,
in ooasequenoa of- his nervous anxiety
over the political situation, and the
criticisms that have been made upon
him by the tress. He has been much
retired of late from public observation.
but it has been upon account of a press
of official business. ;
A GRAND KOREIQN VOUCYi :
' What Secretary Blaine and tho Presi
dent have been engaged in will be made
manifest npon tha opening of Congress.
A gran t era ia opening before the repub
lic. We are to have a foreigu policy
worthy of the name, and worthy of the
most powerful republican government
on the face of the globe.
One of the certain results of this poli
cy would ba to make potential the influ
ence of iL'n government; in shaping the
future destinies of the countries in this
hemisphere. Not by flllibustering not
by the acuuisition or territory, wpniq
this influence of oar gotreruaienfr 1
stamped : but in a manner more enaais-
tent witb tlia trua weltaro of tha United

slateamaaship. Uotn in jsortn

ica, jn . thOj naar future,, repub
lics wo14 Spring up tlia would tolerato
no trans-Atlantic interference. ' Of these
sister republics that, are deatinoil' to
arise upon this continent. the United
States will be at the head, not to exer
cise over these- younger governments
lealons surveillance, but to guard their
in unrests, and tn aid them in the spread
of free hist itnt Urns, and in the march of
prosperity. ' There would , bo tin etaan
with any foreign power, and no attempt
at annexation of contiguous territory,
but the steadfast policy of the govern
ment; as foreshadowed at the opening of
congress In December next, would be to
carry out the above iae of action, and to
see sister rcpuoucs arise anu iiourisii
upon this 'continent. . To this great in.
ternaUonal work the President and Sec
retary Blaine latterly have devoted much
more time and thought than they have
to homo political matters.
j As to the situation jn Virginia the
senator said: 1 V . w ,
"There ia a diversity of opinion pre
vailing among prominent Republicans
in Washington, the weight of judgment,
howeveri probably being ia tkvonof the
propoaext coaittion II tne aiaiiaos move
ment can be made a success this tail in

and that section will no longer be a
standing menace to the general govern-
- T .1 I I
man. ai vun reajicct aa tucaivmaoie
benefit would bo conferred apon the
country."
The Senator had this to say of the
New York trouble:
44 That Senator Conkliag contnvUed
jgreai mid lake wnen ? tie .re-
slirned. - unless he had ' intended
retiring ior a season trom pontics, is
undoubtedly now the iudirment of all
tnaogbtful ltepubacana.. . t'erUaps that
was the original intention or the senator,
but if so, he unwisely had permitted tho
counsels or menus to swerve him ixom
that resolution. Had ho voluntarily re
tired to private life, he would have been
followed ; by the' nniversar- respect
of Republicans, and bo would
have been stronir in the fu
tare. But the die was cast. The fatal
mistake bad been committed.- An elec
tion would probably be reached before
tne legislature adjourns, mere wouia
probably soon be a caucus. Tha two
wings pl tha Republican party would be
come reconciled, and one Conkiing and
one administration senator would be
elected. There would, of course, be dis
satisfaction with the result. That was
inevitable. The rupture between Conk.
ling and the administration was a mis
fortune, but it would not permanently
affect the future of the Republican party
in New York state, or the country At
large. . - - . j j .-1

New Yohk. June 22. From the tjuI
ic record of business already uone, no
support whatever ia afforded for the as
sertion - that business ia declining or
stagnant; on the contrary, whoever re
ports trututullv is compeiieu to state
that the volume of businoss, both ccit
imate and speculative, whether measured
in quantities or in values, never was as
larirc before as at the present time.
At this season lor a little time specula
tion in stocks has been duller than be
fore, but exchanges in this city have been
remarkably large from the outset. The
Mew York exchange for the three weeks
endue June ISth was tno largest on re
cord for three consecutive weeks, and
exceeds the hitherto unequuled returns
for three weeks of May by nearly
KJ0.0UU.00U.
.Last vear. exchanges at cities outside
of New York amounted to $344,033,328,
which ia larger- by nearly $12,000,000
than the largest amount ever previously
recorded for the third week of the month,
and closely approaches the largest ever
known tor the second week. Js,very city
reports an increase in comparison with
the transactions of the corresponding
week last year. At every city the in
crease is over ten per cent.; at sixteen
cities over twenty per cent, at nine over
thirty, ana at nve over iocty, wnue uie
two largest cities outside of New. York
report gains of fifty-six per cent, at Bos
ton and fifty-nine per cent, at Philadel
phia, mo increase in the aggregate
outside of New lork is extraordinarily
larce. amountinir to fortv-fivc ncr cent..
and only a very small part or tins ad
vance can be attributed to tho advance
in prices. The fact is undeniable that
the volume ot business represented by
payments actually made through banks
is larger than it ever was before. Indeed,
while some speculators arc going up and
down, croaking continually, some of the
largest merchants frankly admit that
they have never seen larger business.

The Storm in the Arkansas Valley. '
' Wichita, Kans.. June 28. The dis
patch here on- Saturday, giving an ac
count or uie puenomcnai storm which
swept down the valley, comprehended
but a fraction of the disastrous results
that have since been reported. A sec
tion of country ten miles wide, west of
the Arkansas river, in this county, sur-
fercd greatly. The standing crops of
wheat, corn, oats, etc., or tens or thou
sands of acres, were cut down by the
hail, level with the ground. Even the
Crairie crass was mown clean. Many
uildinga were damaged, and apples,
peaches and grapes were stripped from
trees and vines for a strip of ten miles
wide by twenty miles or moro up and
down the valley.
' The electrical storm of Friday night
was repeated atia Saturday night with
more direful effects. Mr. E. Pendergrast,
a saddle and harness dealer, was struck
dead by lightning. He was standing by
an open window of his home. At least
there ia where his body wss tound next
morning by his wife upon returning
from the borne of a sick neighbor, where
she had been spending the night. Mr.
Pendergrast was a most excellent and
highly respected citizen. Iuring the
same storm the south tower of the Kirby
M. E. church was also struck by light
ning and considerably damaged.
