AN ELECTION AT THIS SESSION OF THE LRGIsLA.
TURE-CoNKLING NOT CANDIDATE, PERHAPS.
An Associated Press dispatch from Albany
says: That Gov. Cornell yesterday officially
notified the legislature "That the two sena-
t0rlal offices by which the state of New York is
entitled to representation In the Congress OF
the United states are now vacant, by the re-
slgnatlenS OF the late lncumbents.'' The fact
that Judge Robertson says he will not receive
his commission as collector until the question
OF who viii be the new Senators is settled is
accepted as evidence that there Will be an
election OF the Senators at this session of the
legislature. The caucus OF Wednesday even.
Ing, following the serenade, showed an admin.
lstraton strength that was not expected, and
tne administration representatives are now
disposed to remain and decide the choice OF
senators. A remark made by Hon. Chauncey
n. DepeW In private has been caught up as
sort of rallying CRY. In speaking OF the

ONE KFFECT OF THB RISE II PRICES.

UNh
The bids for granite blocks recently opened
at the Office or the District Commissioners are
all much higher than the prices paid for Ike
material last year, and may have the effect OF
curtailing the amount or work TO be done In
street repairs and improvements the current
year. No award has yet been made, and it Is
not likely that more than SOC, 600 granite blocks
VIII be purchased oy the Commissioners under
the BIDS opened. The whole number or blocks
wanted py the terms OF the proposals was
pavement last year was about sl.s5 per square
yaro, out at the rates OF the bids now pending
the cost VIII be 81 25 or upwards. This Is the
result or the general rise In material and labor
all over the country. and interferes greatly
with the estimates OF the Commissioners upon
which the appropriations have been based for
the next fiscal year. lt now LOOKS as II the
amount or street work 10 be done this year
must be considerably curtailed.
