GOV. CLEvELAND's MESSAGE.
On Taxation, Insurance, State Prison,
Harb0r Masters, Canals, etc.
New YORK, Jan 2.

NEW YORK, Jan2.
Gov. Cleveland's message states the finan-
ces of the State are in q satisfactory cond-
ton, showing balance in the treasury of
90, 1897 1858. He calls attention to the i'm
perfect laws regarding taxation, and refers to
the fact that personal property escaped to q
great extent its fair proportion of taxation
He recommends the abolition of authorship
of canals, and a board of canal appraisers
All propositions and schemes for the enlarge
nent of canals, or expenditure of large sums
of money in their alteration, should, in his
opinion, be stubbornly opposed, at least. un-
til the effect of abolition of tolls 10 fully ap-
parent.
He urges a reduction in the expenses Of
of maintaining 4 superintendency Of the in
surance department, and that insurance laws
be reduced to plain and simple enactment,
which shall be q safeguard against the abuses
to which this important interest is now ex-
posed. He trusts that any legislation per-
tanning to the military will be in the direc-
ton of efficiency and good discipline. He
believes that the State prisons should be
self-sustaining. but should not seek for profit
from prison labor. He recommends the re-
organization of the quarantine department
with q view to its economical maintenance,
and considers the present system of main
tanning harbor masters of New York city az
burden upon commerce. He hopes the re-
apportionment of the State into Congressional
districts will be speedily undertaken. In regard
to the reform in civil service, he says: 1T is
submitted that the appointment of subordin-
ates in the several State departments, and
their tenure Of Office or employment, should
be based upon fitness and efficiency, and that
this principle should be embodied in legisla-
tive enactment to the end that the policy of
the State may conform to the reasonable
public demand on that subject" He recon-
mends close scrutiny of insane institutions
of the State, and is satisfied that the existing
statutes upon insanity need amendment. He
favors home government in municipal affairs
and reform in laws regarding primary cleo
tions. He touches upon several other topics,
but suggests nothing new in connection
Herewith, and concludes by urging jealous
watch of public funds, the abolition of IN
necessary offices and enactment of wise laws.

FROM WASHINGTON.
TIE JEANETTE BOARD.
Danenhower Testifies to the Quarrel
Between belong and Collins.

WASHINGTON. Jan 2.
Lieutenant Danenhower testified before the
Jeanette board today, in relation to the
trouble between Capt. belong and Mr.. Col
Inns. He stated that the trouble began in
September. 1879, when the captain gave an
order that no one should leave the ship with
out his permission. Collins thought it was
directed against him, and protested, by re-
manning on board the ship without permits
sion.
Another trouble occurred November LIST,
1879, with reference to the medical examina-
ton. Collins objected to it, and the order
was modified. During the winter of 1880,
numerous discussions occurred between
belong and Collins, on the subject of duty.
On one occasion, the Captain told Collins
that if he was not satisfied, he could report
him to the secretary of the navy, and he
(the Captain certainly would report him
(Collins) on the return of the ship. The
trouble eliminated Dec. I'd. 1880, when the
Captain suspended him. Subsequently, an
order was issued by DeLong, that all the
men should be examined naked once a month
but the officers were only examined to the
waist.
Collins objected, as did three others On
the I'd of December. 1880, belong found
fault with Collins for being twenty minutes
| in making noon observations, and not taking
his exercise on the ice. Danenhower says
Collins replied quickly that he did not like
| being chased up in that way. The Captain
said the matter had gone far enough, and told
Collins to take off his coat. l Immediately
went below. The conversation which fol-
lowed was loud. and heard most of it. A
| long discussion followed, and it finally came
| to point at which the disagreement took
place, and contradiction was involved.
heard the Captain say, "That is enough.
sir; you have done your last duty on this
Ship" Collins left the cabin. The Captain
| then called me, and asked if had heard the
| trouble, said EYES," and commenced to
relate what had heard, but thinking might
| give a wrong impression, said preferred
| to put what knew in writing.
That afternoon, l dictated what / had
heard to MIR. Chip. At noon the next day.
| the Captain came in to record observations.
| He referred to the conversation, and ex-
pressed regret that such an occurrence should
have taken place aboard the ship. l also
expressed regret that l was witness. He
said would not be called up in the matter.
QuestiOn-'Do you know where Collins
| notes, sketches, etc., were lOst!'
| Answer-''I don't know. | think his big
book went down in the ship. 1t was about
sheepskn. He may have kept a private
note book, bat that was his chief log-book."
/ Ques.-"Was Mr.. Collins treated as a
prisoner that is, was he compelled to march
behind the party unarmed!"
| Ans.-"He was at first, but at his request
| he was allowed to carry a Henry rifle. /
didn't understand his status fully, but know
he was suspended from work. He was free
as to his movements.

Eighteen Convicts Drowned.

RALEIGH, Jan 2.
As thirty penitentiary convicts mostly
negroes, and two white guards were engaged
at Cove Tunnel, in Western North Carolina,
in crossing the Tuckasee Gee river, Saturday
morning, one of the convicts discovered that
the flat was leaking, and gave the alarm,
which created a panic. All the men rushed
to one end of the fiat, bearing it down, and
it Immediately filled and sank. The Tucka-
hasee Gee is at that place, swift and deep,
with rapids just below. The men chung to-
gether in knots, those who could not swim
clinging to those who could. and some were
carried into the rapids and drowned Only
twelve convicts and one guard were saved.

A LITTLE MIXED.
Politics in Minnesota Slightly Mixed.

ST.. PAUL, MIMI. Jan 2.
In the legislative republican caucus, last
night, to nominate candidates for speaker
and other offices in both Houses, Loren
Fletcher of Minneapolis, was nominated for
speaker of the House. He, and most of the
other nominees are friendly to WINDOWS
election to the United States Senate. Since
the caucus, Windows friends claim his
election here. He has clear majority of
of the republican members of the legislature,
but there has been disposition on the part
of the friends of Dunnell to stay the proceed
ings of the caucus, and manage the combina-
ton between several small republican groups
opposed to Window and the democrats. 1t
is believed that combinations were made in
the election of officers of both Houses, which
involve the committing of a sufficient num-
Der of republicans to make majority of the
whole legislature agree to the policy of going
into Senatorial caucus, which makes Win
dom's election almost cartain.

Bully 9en,1ebte Journal.
Augusta. Wednesday Morning, Jan. 8.
Sixty-first Legislature.


The organization OF the Sixty first Leg
islature Of the State of Maine will take
place to-day. Two years have elapsed
since the organization Of the previous leg
islature. the State is now fairly launched
into the biennial system of elections and
sessions.
The indications are that the session will
be long and important. There are many
questions coming before the legislature,
which will require careful elaboration and
consume time. Now that we have but
one session in two years, It will be i'm
peratively demanded that all needed leg
islation be had, and that the work be done
with great circumspection and in the best
manner. One Of the great faults in our
Legislature in times past has been the
haste with which matters of importance,
especially towards the close of the session,
were pushed through and disposed
of. With but one session in two years.
undue haste and want of care in prescott
ing business will work double the injury
ut least that it formerly did, for bad or
neglected legislation must now stand two
years before remedy can be applied,
whereas. before. corrective could be
applied every year.
The salary Of members, which was in
adequate with yearly sessions, will prob.
ably be enlarged at no distant day to pDet
the new order Of things; for it is poor
economy in the State to be niggardly with
the Legislature and get poor, hasty. i'll.
considered, defective work for poor pay
Cheap work is generally the most expen'
sive kind Of work in periods of any length
and cheap Legislation hurried and neg
lected on account Of poor pay, is the mOsl
costly Of all kinds of cheap work.
Fortunately we shall have at this session
chief executive whose views and feelings
upon public matters harmonize with the
majority in the legislature. and this will
make the session pleasant and profitable
The legislature has also large number
of able and influential meu in both
branches. the sharp political contest Of
the past year having caused both parties
to place in nomination as rule the best and
strongest men they had. The session will
commence under the happiest auspices,
and the new State government to be inau-
gurated will we trust take high rank
among our State administrations.
