New York, April 3, 18^—Dear Sir: There will be a meeting of the Republican conference committee of which you are a member, at the above headquarters, on Tuesday, April 15, 1884, at'3 o'clock r. M. This meeting has been called to cousider the attitude which the committee should assume toward particular candidates for the Republican nomination at Chicago. It will be strictly private, and it is of great importance that there should be a full attendance. You are urgently requested, therefore, to be present at that time, and to announce your coming to the secretary. By order of the executive committee.

The Flood of Tariff Talk. Washington, April 17.—The tariff discussion in the house promisee to run for at least three weeks. One hundred and fifteen members have indicated the intention of sjicaking. A number of the Republicans fear that Morrison will be able to pass some-kind of a bill. Read, of Maine, thought the Morrison bill was dead. "Whether its present lease of life was temporary or not he could not say, Albany, April 17—Mr. Tildan's conference with tbe Pacific Slope politicians, his recent interview with Mr. Hendricks, of Indiana, his letter to the Iroquois club, of Chicago, and his dispatch to the Jefferson club, of Newark, have set the members here - talking about him, and there is a good deal said about the possibility of the Democratic national convention nominating him, notwithstanding the reports that he absolutely declines to be a candidate. Discussing this, Assemblyman Earl, of Kings county, said: "He can be nominated if he so desires, and, in my judgment, he is the most available candidate in the country. It depends entirely upon his own action whether ho is nominated or not. If he will come out fiatfooted and state explicitly that he will accept the nomination that is offered him, he will be the strongest candidate that can be named." At the conclusion of the clergyman's remarks the choir belonging to the officiating clergyman's church sang the "Sweet Bye and Bye," and the sorvices closed. The most affecting scene was when the great stone was about to be lifted, by means of a derrick eloee at hand, and the stone box containing the coffin closed. The sons and daughters of the queen climbed down to the coffin to take tl\eir last farewell. Their sobs and cries filled the air, and were echoed by the mourners that stood on the brink of the grave. The sons and daughters threw themselves prostrate on the ooflln, the bard wood, and it was only with great difficulty that they were prevailed on to come out of the grave. The stone lid was then put into position and the dirt thrown upon it. A monument will be erected over the grave. The question discussed by the committee was the advisability of making a public declaration thnt they would not, under any circumstances, accept Arthur, Logan or Blaine as a candidate for the presidency. Some members who were strongly opposed to any such candidacy took the ground that an announcement of that kind would not be expedient, and the Pennsylvania representatives were especially Unwilling to make a positive declaration against Blaine, who was a favorite of somo of the anti-Cameron meif in their state. After an interesting debate the whole subject was referred to • special committee, including the chairman, Gen. Francis C. Barlow; ex-Gov. p. H. Chamberlain, Henry E. Tremain, Carl Schurr,, F, W. Holls and Sigismund ICaufmann. This subcommittee is to report at a meeting of the general committee, to be called by the chair. A very long and straight out Republican ilatform was read and adopted. It contained i ringing civil service plank for the propitiaion of the colored voters, and endorsed in -very respect President Arthur's administration. A resolution was carried with a hurrah instructing the dolegates-at-large to vote for leu. Logan for president, and the district lelegates of Illinois were advised to do the ■anie. The convention then adjourned with hree cheers and a tiger for Logan. Col. A. Loudon Snowden, chairman of the committee on resolutions, was introduced and read tbe following platform: For coughs, colds or croup use Kutzner's Tolu Cough Uixture. Ask your druggist for t. aha'-* u-u't««. ThA-o was -no understanding between the Democrats and the Republicans who opposed the measure, nor was there any organized opposition to it. All of the organization was upon the other side. Now that the measure is before the house the Republicans are disposed to debate it fully. It stands as a block in the way of All other business and points to the almost indefinite postponement of adjournment. If the tariff bill should bo passed through the house early in May the senate would certainly load it down wjth amendments rather than openly oppose it, and when it gets back to the house an inevitable deadkick will result. The Republican party of Pennsylvania, in oonwntion assembled, makes the following declaration of principles: A Fair Offer. First—We congratulate our fellow Republicans upon the re-established unity and harmony of the party, which has restored Pennsylvania to the rightful place in tha Republican column.

April 17.—The owners of horses in this city are much alanned at a new disease, "black erysipelas," which has made its appearance among the horses here. Four case* have already proved fatal and half a dozen animals have been ordered killed by a veterinary surgeon. It is a disease new to everybody, and as far as can be learned is not confined to the city of Rochester. The nature of the disease is peculiar. It is confined entirly to the feet, and, what is most singular, almost entirely to the hind feet. The first symptom of any trouble is lameness. In a few hours afterward a small sore is discovered near the fetlock. This sore is of an ulcerous nature and grows rapidly, absorbing tendons and tissues. When the sore has reached ito limit ulceration ceases, and the dead flesh, which naturally turns block, sloughs off. In this sore the sloughing off of decayed tissues is followed by a profuse discharge of pus. When the ulcer is aggravated or largo the animal appears to absorb the poison from the sore and soon dies. There is no specific that will arrest the progress of this ulceration yet discovered. The sore appears to exhaust its strength at a certain period, and if the animal lives untM the absorption of the tissues cease, then it can be saved. After the decayed flesh has sloughed off a red wound is left which heals obstinately and slowly. The disease is thought to be caused by a parasite. One veterinary surgeon has had over fifty cases the past winter. The disease appears to be no respector of horse, and attacks thoroughbred as well as the draught horse. Indeed, it appears to be rather favorable toward horses that are well and carefully kept. Surgeons say they have never heard of anything like it before. Owners of fast trotters are in great consternation, and are having their horses removed from the city. Ottawa, Ont., April 17.—It is stated that Lord Lansdowne has to travel under the escort of government detectives.

Moat, of No. 1734 Mount Vernon street, Information to this effect was given Detective Crawford by a woman who formerly occupied a room in the house, and who now lives in the northern portion of the city. The detective declines to furnish her name. The woman states that her reason for not the matter known sooner was that she was afraid of getting into trouble; but she persists in saying that a bundle resembling that taken from the roof lay there several years ago. The skeleton was complete, and some flesh was dried on the bones. It appears to be that of a woman. When found by the detective it was wrapped in a piece of carpet The matter was reported to Deputy Coroner Ashbridge, but he declined to take any action in the matter, as he is firmly convinced that the bones were placed on the roof by some medical student.

Third—While reviving no past differences, and earnesly seeking good will between all portions of our common country, we insist that the guarantee of the constitutional amendments shall be faithfully observed; we demand that every citizen shall be proteeted in his right to cast a free ballot and have it honestly counted; and we denounce every at tempt to deny or abridge this right, whethei by fraud or by violence.
