CONTRACT LABOR IN PRISONS-SATURDAY SESSIONS
VARIOUS BILLS.
lTROH THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF TIE TRIBUsE.l
ALBANY, Jan. l5.-The contract labor system in
the State prisons is apparently to receive thorough
examination. The demagogues who have been
calling upon the Legislature to sweep
away hastily the entire system will be disappointed
To-day MIR. Howe. the chairman of the Committee
on State Prisons, reported favorably his own bill
authorizing "a State Prison Commission. Ii Is
understood that the vote in tho committee was
unanimously in favor Of the bill. Mr. Hove,s
design is TO take the question out of politics If he
can. lie hopes that the Democrats Of the Assembly
will follow the example Of the Democrats in his
committee III looking with favor upon
the bill The Republicans are already
pledged TO its support. In effect the bill pledges
the Legislature not 10 tsko any action on the con-
tract labor system in the isons till committee of
experts has investigated the system, learned It's
benefts and its evils; and reported TO the Legsla
ture. The Commission Is to be appointed
by the Governor with the consent Of tho
Senate. Undoubtedly Governor Cleveland will
appoint men as members of the Com
mission in whose judgment the people OF
the State can put entire trust Mr.. Howe will call
up his bill in Committee Of the Whole Tomorrow,
and attempt TO pass IT..

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON Jan. 1j.-The Senate went into
executive session at IN early hour again to-day, 10
resume consideration of the Mexican Treaty.
While there seems TO be no doubt that the treaty
will DO ratified at an early date, it seems probable
that those opposed to it will endeayoI 10 proong
bate upon il as long as possible. The chef argu-
mcnt put forward by the opposition to-day was that
the treaty is unconstitutional being a measure
Affecting the reyenue, and as such belonging prop
erly TO the House, where il should have originated
This objection was raised aud succ ssfully sustained
in The case of many of the older reciprocity treatles
but of late years, more especially within the period
during which most of the present Senators have
occupied their seats the opposite view has pre-
vailed The most recent example was that Of the
Hawaiian Treaty. TO which the same objections that
are now raised in the case of the Mexican Treaty
were made when II came mp before the Senate for
ratification.
At tho suggestion it seels, of one of tie Senator'S
opposed to the treaty Mr.. Mills, OF Texas offered
IN tue House resolution, which was adopted di-
recting the judiciary Committee 20 inquire whether
the President and the Senate have the power under
tho Constitution to conclude treaty affecting tho

the proposed treaty are antagonizlng II, though
