Ieved the amendments under which the offices are
created were Republican reforms and the party IN the
Senate did not desire TO hamper their consummaton IN
any way The names presented by Gov Robinson would
be immediately confirmed In regard TO changes In the
other State offices bcld by Republicans, Senator
Wood said further that It could not be expected OF the
Senate 10 give up. The Senator OF course In max
ING these statements dsclamed speaking for the whole

Senate Is pretty well established by tho authority as
leader which he holds ard maintains almost absolutely

THE TREASURES FROM CYPRUS.

ONLY $1,000 ~ GOLD NEEDED NOW To SECURE
THEM FOR THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM.
The trustees of the Metropolitan Museum Of
Art have been making strenuous exer0ns since Friday
last 10 obtain the $4,000 in gold necessary for securing
the collection Of Kurium recently discovered
by Cen di CesnOla and had succeeded last evening IN
obtaining subscriptions amounting TO $4,000 in gold
Yesterday was the last of the three days allowed Gen. di
Cesnoa by the British Museum for deciding whether he
would accept s offer of 100000, but the trustees sent
cable dispatch to him last night stating the measure OF
their success and their confidence that with two days
more time they would be able 10 reach the required
amount. They asked him to extend the time. Great
satisfaction expressed by the trustees at the public
spirit shown by the subscribers. one OF them lady, is
said 10 have promised 100000 1t Is understood that
Mr. Gladstone and many other eminent Englishmen are
anxious that this collection shall be obtained for the Brit
sh Museum I'll stated to be much finer than the other
Cesnoa collection now in the Museum Of Art, but added
10 that would make by far the finest collection OF the kind
in the world The trustees think 1t would be dscredt
10 American generosity and energy to allow England to
gain possession OF it, especially since they are within
81 900 Of the required TO gain it. Gen. d Ces-
noa it ia understood much prefers that America shall
get the treasures that they may be united with the other
collection The of the subscribers were not mado
public last evening but will be given soon as the list
Is completed.

TIE STATE ELECTORS.

FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS PAY AND MILEAGE
ALLOWED BY A LAW OF 1SI2-THE MEETING
TO CAST THE vorE FOR PREsIDENT-HOw 1T
WILL BIZ CONDUCTED.
fFRoM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT or THE TRIBUNK'I
ALBANY, Nov. 2O.-The surprising discov-
cry was to-day that, under the law OF 1872 the
Presidential Electors Of the State are entitled TO Sl5O
pay and mileage for attendance ~ the Electoral College
and the casting q vote The law Is Chapter $50 OF the
Laws Isi2. Title w. Article 3, Section 20. which has
never been amended and which in effect fixes the pay
and mileage ccctor at that allowed at the time TO
members of the Legislature" The pay members then
was 81 per day for 100 days. but IL is 81 800 per
annum without regard 10 the length Of their session.
This undoubtedly gives the pay to electors, and
would impose upon the Treasury for electors pay
alone of S52 800 exclusive of Rcage but 1t is thought
improbable that the gentlemen comprising the Electoral
College would consent to have the law interpreted this
way although 1t would put large a unexpectedly

The lecturer spoke In substance as follows:
