The Interest here lu the Albany contest was intensified yesterday by the reports of the bal loting in the two blanches of the Legislature. In view of the claims of the stalwarts regard ing Conkllngs strength, much surprise was manifested at the small vote he actually receiv ed. No one believes that Coukling has the slightest chance of success. Some comment has been occasioned by the report of a con ference that had been arranged between tbe President on the one hand, and the Vice-President and the two New York Bcuators ' on the other, which might have resulted la an amica ble adjustment of all differences, but which did not come off because of Mr. Coukllug's failure to be present. It Is related that on the day following that on which the President sent Mr. Robertson's name to the Senate it was known beyond a doubt that Mr. Conkllng and the other Representatives of Mew York were greatly dissatisfied. On that day two Members of the Cabinet called upon the President and suggested that a conference should be held, as above indicated. The Presldont accepted the suggestion and set apart that evenlug for the Interview. The two members of the Cab inet made arrangements, as they thought, with the Vice-President and the two Senators for the Conference, and It was understood that It should take place at 7:30 at the Wkite House. Afterward Member Conkllng demur red and refuses' to go,although his companions were willing to attend. On this account the Interview did not take place The President waited an hour and a half for his expected visitors. It was known that bad the Conference taken place an attempt would have been made to readjuet tbe whole matter satisfactorily to all persona concerned. Now that Coukllng's defeat Is assured Governor Cornell and Chaun cey M. Depew, are the first choice of the antl Conkllngites. President Garftcld and several of his Cabi net olllcers will, if no unforsecn event pre vents do some little traveling this summer. On the 10th Instant, in company with friends, he will go to Anapolts and attend the annual ball at the Naval Academy. In the first week In July he will go to Massachusetts, probably in company with Secretaries Blaine and Hunt to attend the annual commencement at Wil Hams College. The President Is not only a graduate of the College but also one of the trustees. Mrs. Garfield tins been entirely free from fever since Sunday, and U now considered convalescent. A member of the Investigating committee In the Treasury Building was asked last even ing as to Us progress. He replied with a shrug and a laugh that Implied that the report of the Investigation was far m the future. The fact Is, big game may be struck. If the Investigation had been allowed to go on, sad so it has been hushed up. Ol.lVB. Additional Locals. Sunday School Convention.

An Interesting Book. In a small Illustrated hook of sixty-three pages, entitled "Genius Rewarded or, The Story of the Sewing Machine," Colonel E. II. Ropes relates the discovery and Invention of the " first practically successful sewing ma chine," by Isaac Merrltt Blngor, In the year lHriO, and the growth and extent of the busi ness now carried on by the Singer Manufac turing Company. The story Is told In an In teresting manner, commencing with an ac count of the dlappoinlments and trials experi enced by the Investor and his associates, who, with a capital of $10, carried on and complet ed tbe work, destined to create one of tbe larg est manufacturing corporations In the country. To an impartial reader, the claim made by Mr. Singer, that his Invention proved to be the first successful sewing machine ever produced must seem thorougly substantiated. On the Ulst pnge of the little volume now under con sideration, the peculiarities of the Howe and Bluger machines are tabulated. Of tho seven distinctive features of the Singer machine, six are low In general use, while those of the 71 owe machine are entirely obsolete. It is also shown that Ellas Howe admitted Unit tbe first Inventorof a machine for sewing a scam by menus of an eye-polnted needle was Walter Hunt, whose claim In this respect has always been conceded by the Singer Company. The process of manufacture Is fully described and Illustrated In Colonel Ropes' book, aid an entire history given of the rise and progress of the Singer manufacturing Company, whose works at Ellzabethport are the largest of their kind In the world. Aside from settling In reasonable minds the vexed questions as to the Invention of the sewing machine, the startling fiction like manner In which the story Is told renders Colonel Ropes' little work a most In teresting contribution to the literature of Its class.
