ALBANY March 17.-Mr. Ingalls, Of tie Committee
on State Prisons of the House presented to-day "a
supplementary report of the investigation recently
made by the Committee into the management OF the
prisons The report is signed by five members of the
Committee, Mr.. Higgins and Mr.. Co'fcy not signing
it, but not dissenting from its material portions 1t
has reference chiefly TO Clinton Prison and the
Elmra Reformatory and is presented because OF the
lack of time 10 give % these institutions any mature
consideration in the first report, as clinton
Prison. which was built originally ON ITS
present site for the purpose of employing
convict labor in clearing away the woods
and in mining aud in order 10 bury in the wilder
ness an institution which was believed TO be dctri-
mental to the morals of any pOpu0us neighhorhood.
has in time outgrown the conditions upon which II
was founded. The woods have been nearly cleared
away and the ore has been exoavatcd so extensively
that mines have been opened beyond the state
property in search of ore and the State is required to
pay 81 per ton royalty on all ore excavated. The
result is that large sums have TO be advanced by the
State yearly to keep the convicts at work, when at
first the prison was self sustaining.
According to the accounts of the prison, 1t costs
SlG6173 to carry on the wood cutting and mining
operations while the entire earnings are but TlZS,-
$40 Thus it costs just S37 1903 more to keep the
ronvicts at work than to maintain them IN idleuess
There is nothing else at which cOnvlcts may be en-
oloved as the location is unfavorable to other man
nfacturing purposes, being IL miles from any rail-
way station and the cost of maintenance increases
yearly.
One of the Committee visited the Elmlra Reform
atory but the Committee have little to add regard
ing this establishment, except that there Will be
room within its walls in few weeks for 800 CON
ycts from the other crowded prisons. The Conn
mittee come TO the conclusion that waste ana I'M
providence are responsible for than peculaton
and fraud, and the great obstacle to making the
prisons sefsustanng is the enforced ideness OF the
conyicts Work must he found for them or enor-
NOUS deficits will continue, and this makes necessary
the putting of more of the prison force into the
marble quarry and lime works at Sing ling and the
instituting of manufactures of prisoners clothing
AT Auburn A transfer of 800 prisoners from Sing
Sing and Auburn would tend very much to alleviate
the present difficulties of prison management But
what Is mainly needed is the presence IN charge OF
each prison of some capable, active and industrious
man. who could conceive plans for new work and
would have the independence and boldness to put
them into operatOn,

REAPPoRTIoNMENT OF THE STATE.

MUST TIE FIGURES OF THE LArE CENSUS BE THE
BASIS THEIR ALLEGED INACCURACIES TO BE
INVESTIGATED.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
ALBANY, March 1.-THE Apportionment Commit
tees of the two Houses met in Joint session TINS
afternoon and took up the question of the reappor
tonment of the State. The right of the Legislature
to base the apportOnment upon other ngures than
those of the census was discussed at length Senator
Rogers holding firmly TO the ground that they held
this right, at least SO far the Senate apportion
ment is concerned, and he was not sure that the
right did not exist with reference TO the Assembly
superintendent. If the census returns disclose fraud
in the enumeration. it would be the right OF the
Legislature to throw them aside and make the ap-
portionment On the basis of the facts by which 1t is
supposed he meant the amended returns. No deh-
mite decision was reached upon the subject AEON
mittee consisting Of Senators WoOdin, Gerard, Hoge-
boom, and Maynard, was appointed to confer with
the Secretary of State Bigelow on the alleged in
accuracies of the returns, claimed by John l..
Davenport, and the Committee adjourned.
