WHAT WILL IT BE?
Adjournment or Compromise ?--Such the
Issue at Albany--The Democrats Insist
ing Upon Their No Quorum Point
Sealed Indictments by the Grand Jury.
The Den,ocratic Point.

New YORK, June 27.-The POSTS Albany:
T he e seems general impression that an cleo
io1of Senator's will take place this week.
Seniors and members of the assembly, as
they return, are more inclined to talk of COM
binations to end the struggle and adjourn.
The Democrats are making the most of the
point raised by them that no legal ballot was
taken Saturday, because only 16 out of the SO
Senator's voted. which they claim was not a
majority. Some of them claim that all bal
lots after this date will be Ineffective, and that
Senator's elected thereby will be rejected at
Washington. 1t is believed some of the COnk-
ling Republicans are in league with them.
Other Republicans reply that if the ballots are
illegal from this time, then the Democrats
need not attend the joint convention. The
fact that they attend shows that they do not
believe in their new theory. The recent cleo
tion of Senator's in Pennsylvania is referred
to, where on several days the ballots proceed
ed without majority of either house being
present and voting. There is great deal of
comment on the fact that Assemblyman Tut
hill, who made so vigorous speech against
Depew before the joint convention was not
summoned before the investigating commit
tee. Tuthill in his speech said he stood ready
to prove his assertions, but on being question
ed by the District Attorney he could give no
evidence that warranted his going before the
grand jury. The investigating committee Is
therefore criticised because It did not call
Tuthill, SO that the public might hear what
his proofs were. 1t is now considered certain
that the grand jury will find no indictments
against anybody connected with the alleged
bribery.

Debate Over The High School Location,
Without final Action-Dues andDebts.
At the meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday morning, Mr.. McClung pre-
sented report in writing for the special COM
mittee on the Adams school house, stating
that conference had been had with the COM
mittee of the board of education, and the
chamber committee, with one exception, were
of opinion that the building ought not to be
taken down. Mr. Noyes and Mr. Hodgson of
the committee corrected Mr.. McClung so!far as
to say that while they had not learned of any
sufficient reason for removing the building
they were not prepared to say that such
reason might not be forthcoming.
Mr.. w. T. Murray moved to discharge the
committee and spoke at some length, saying
the Adams school had for eight years been
condemned as unfit for school building. 1t
was without cellar or basement, damp and
unventilated, and liable to tumble down. He OBJ
ected to the location of the High school being
considered with the question of taking down
the Adams building. He didn't care where the
High school building was located, but he did
care that the Second ward should have a
decent building for the graded school.
DR.. Day and MIR. Lee spoke in reply to MIR.
Murray, the former declaring that the school
board was going into system of eXtrava-
gance and needed the advice of sensible busi-
ness men, and the latter asserting that the
Adams bnilding could be made good as any IN
| the city for $500 to $4,000. He didn't, as a
| taxpayer, want to build fine school building
simply for an ornament to the Second ward.
That he thought was the object of destroying
| the Adams building.
Mr.. McClung said that Capt
| Berkey had offered to give bonds in $4,000 to
| put the Adams building in good order for
| $1,000. BY this time The members of the
chamber were impatient and motions design
| ed to end the subject were made until the
chair and secretary lost track of them. Then
the matter was cleared away by adoption of a
motion to give the committee further time
and instructing it to report to the reor-
| ganized or new chamber, which will have its
| first meeting next Monday.
The report of the finance committee, show
| ing the chamber to owe some bills with con-
| siderable number of dues uncollected, was, af-
ter quite long talk, disposed of bv instruct
ing the secretary to collect dues, to be applied
on the debts, and leaving it to the chair to call
this chamber together again if Necessary. The
| old chamber then adjourned without day.

The eodeavor of the present government is to

Some suspicious seem to have been excited by

him. The St. Petersburg newspaper press is
hated at court because not a single indepen-

have received circular ordering them
to submit the first proofs of their paper be-

telegraphed from here, that he intends to 60

the treasury rings, is entirely untrue. Pitney
said that he never thought of such action, and
said he would be fool to do so, as it would
result in the Indictment of himself as well as
others, should anybody be indicted. >Pitney
evidently considers that he has been made a
victim and scapegoat, and talks as if Others
were deeper in the treasury ring than he was,
but if he contemplates revenge it is not by
going before the grand jury. There will most
certainly be Congressional investigation of
the treasury ring. There are rumors of I'M
portant records of the department, relating to
refunding and other important business,
having been taken away, and that the investi-
cation commissioners report states that these
records are missing, continue to be refuted.
