ALbANf, Jiii 49, 1910.
The evidence of a great day at hand was to
be found in the increased crowd of visitors around
the Capitol to-day The Agricultural Association,
the State Military Association and the men inter-
ested in the charter are all here, and brass but
tons, homespun and city store clothes dis
cernible in every comeback of Senator's desks,
In the few seats at present appropriated to visitors
on the floor OF the House, peering through the
doors of the Court OF Appeals and generally seek
ing out the sights OF the capital. They probably
enjoyed the sensation of seeing the
UNITED STATES SENATOR E-ELECTED,
among other novelties. For entirely fresh presid-
ing officers both the Lieutenant Governor and the
Speaker carried out the programme with remarka-
bic accuracy and GOODNESS. The Lieutenant Gov
ernOr certainly must have studied the ritual of the
occasion for at least two weeks. The ceremony is
not long one. The Senators have to file into the
Assembly Chamber, two by two, led by the Lieu
tenant Governor, take their seats in front of the
members desks and hear their Clerk read out
their votes for Senator The Clerk of the Assem-
bly, simultaneously reads out the vote OF the men,
bers. Then the Lieutenant Governor solemnly de-
clares Roscoe Conkling Senator in Congress for six
years more, a hundred guns commence booming
from the Capitol yard outside, the republican
Senators and members applaud, and the thing Is
done. To-day the guns came so pat after Robin
sons formal declaration of the election that a sus-
pcion of electric communication prevailed and 1t
was confidently believed that Robinson had taken
lesson from Gilmore's conduct of the anvil
chorus. Thus Roscoe is formally reelected, and is
over any agony he may have experienced.
Mr. Adams
BILL TO ESTABLISH QUARANTINE
in the Bay of New York was introduced to-day. 1t
Is very vouminOus. 1t Is intended to reach and
cover all the disputed points OF quarantine juris-
dction, the interference OF merchants and import.
ers, &C., and in that regard cedes all power
necessary to ont strict enforcement or the
health requirements of the city to the Health
Officer The present incumbent Or. Nanderpoe,
who was nominee OF Governor HOFFMAN, Is re-
tanned by special section until the END of his term
unless renewed by the Governor: The biz provides
that Quarantine sh9l! consist OF Warehouses;, docks
piers, anchorage for vessels, floating hospitals
boarding stations, burying grounds and residences
for officers. The anchorage for vessels shall be at
least two miles away from any shore, in the Lower
Bay The Health 0ncer is given the power to
cali upon any officer OF justice to assist him in the
enforcement OF the provisions of the act the whole
under the Jurisdiction of New York city, In fine,
the powers granted seem to be sufficient TO insure
perfect health supervision OF New York Bay. ex
cept when Perth Amboy or some other jealous port
OF Jersey may choose TO interfere, and no power
short of the federal can entirely squelch jerseys
quarantine interference.
THE MEMORIAL OF THE BAR ASSOCIATION,
presented to-day by Senator Benedict and referred
to the Judiciary committee, proposes such amend
ments to the Code that in effect, no orders can be
granted out of Court The parties to suits, except
divorce cases where infant heirs are interested,
sum value shall be received by the Court officials
the Sheriff's officers rom prisoner while seek
ing bail, and fee is to be paid to sherns by par
ties arrested. The memorial, being presented on
the part OF the Bar Association, will probably re-
ceive consklerate hearing.

pendently Of the ferrybOats, and will other
