Senator Lowery had his resolution fixing Tues
day next for the .
reconsidered In the Senate on saturday. 1t seems
to have been oversight on the part OF the Senate
House ballots separately. The law OF Congress
reads "the next day succeeding'' at noon, and the
reconsideration and amendment were intended to
meet that provision. strangely enough. the same
mistake was made by Senator Foger three years
ago, when Fenton was elected, and the same re-
Senator Lowery was, indeed, led into his mistake

might have been in a strictly legal point OF
view II Conkling should have been reelected on the
wrong day, and in contrdventiOn OF the laws OF
Congress on the subject, may be matter for specu-
laton. 1t is not probable that he would have been
ousted from the Senate on account OF it, but his
amiable colleague, Mr.. FentOn, might have rufled
the illegal election.
Senator Tenants bill, OF which he gave notice
on saturday, la relation to
LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS AND STREET OPENINGS,
Is the product of an eminent New York lawyer and
property holder, and is very strongly favored by
all the New York Senators. 1t does away with the
elaborate system OF fees by which local improve
ment or street opening Is rendered more burden
some to the citizens than the assessments and
legitimate expenses put together, and places the
SUBJECT entirely within the jurisdiction OF the de.
partments to bear the expense and super1ntend
the work.

WITNESSES IN CRIMINAL CASES
Is the same bill that was introduced last Winter
and Jailed In the Lower House. 1t relieves
THE HOUSE OF DETENTION
OF some OF It's horrors and IN certain cases makes
the sworn statement OF the Witness suffice for his
verbal testimony. Progress was reported upon it,
the Senators showing commendable determine
ton to perfect and improve before accepting II.
The bill III relation to dover, introduced bY MIR.
Lewis, was also progressed 1t changes the pres
emf law only so lar as holding the conveyance OF
married woman made under age as good as II she
were OF age at the time of making 1t.
MIR. PattersOn's bill creating
BOARD OF COMMERCE
In New York Is q sort OF renash OF that lament.
able failure of q bill introduced last year by the
irrepressible TwOmby. 1t Is. however, not quite
so pretentlous as was the original, and does not
attempt to swallow up the Board OF Health the
Health Oficer. The bill invests seven commission
ers with All the powers now possessed by the Quar-
antine and Pilot Commissioners and gives them
exclusive control over and appointment OF the port
wardens, &c.
THOSE GOLD BADGES.
Mr.. Pell's little bill to compensate Tillson b
Cooley to the amount OF Jour thousand dollars and
over, for the gold badges they furnished the Com
mon Council, and for which they were unable to
get any pay, makes IL imperative on the part OF the
city to go to the captains office and settle.
Mr. Smith introduced a bill which gives the
Board OF Supervisors of New York county the
power to appoint the
CLERKS OF THE CIVIL JUSTICES,
at salary OF $4,000 two assistants at $1,000 and
a senogiapher and janltOr at 1920. Where MIR.
