SENATE THE KINDS OF oRIsoNs HE
WAS BROUGHT UP ON.

WAS BROUGHT UP ON.
Albany, Feb 5.--The Rev. Dr. Leach opened the
session Of the Senate this morning with prayer. In
tho course of his appeal he asked that the cities of
the State be freed from the supersttous influences
Of ignorant immigrants and also to be freed from the
ballotbox stuffng and frpm the wholesale sale Of
votes by the poor and lowly. Senator Grady, ever
ready to waste breath and consume time by useless
oratory, arose and said
ask unanimous consent at this time to mako .
motion that the officer In charge of tho invitation Of
clergymen TO open the proceedings Of the Senate With
prayer DO directed to omit from the invitation for the
ton. do not think hat under tho gss Of prayer

Mr. Grsdy-I don't think so. Anybody who thinks

The prayers ] have been brought up to respect and
believe In were soWthing other than political
speeches. I've never In all my public experience
been required to listen to such an insult to the
bcrs Of a representative body and Of their oonstit-
uenccs. For no one can defend any such utterancc
as we have listened to to-day upon the supposition
that II Is prayer II they can, their prayers must be
mixed up with a good deal Of selnshness.
Senator Murphy asked for the Official report of the
| prayer Tie said: II is time such a document a.

should eight representing constituencies
Of this state good and pure and intelligent as ans
other constituencies OF tho State have their religion

NATIONAL AID FOR THE HUDSON

CALLED FOR IN REPORT TO THE SENATE
NEw-YoRK's NV MUNICIPAL BUILDING.
Albany, Feb s tspeciaD. The Assembly Committee
Cities resolved to-day TO report favorsbiy Assem-
blyman Crosby's bill authorizing the construction OF
a municipal building In the City Hall Park. Tho
bill was amended so to provide that tho building
shall be put at the northeast corner Of tho park. on
the sito OF tho present engine-houso and Court OF
General Sessions.
The Assembly judiciary Committee listened TO
arguments from County Clerk Reilly and Deputy
Register Martin IN opposition TO Assemhlyman Ham
ion's bill for the indexng Of real estate according
to the block system. Dwight H. olnstcad and W. II.
Arnoux made speeches In favor Of the bill
Tho Senate Finance Committee. In an interesting
report on the distractions In the Hudson River. say
that during the last five years the average annual
appropriations BY Congress have been 81 ,1le,iot ID
for the Mississippi River s36i.S7o for the Missouri.
s2oo3i: 40 for tho Ohio, and but $4,000 Tor the
Hudson. This disparity Is made still more striking
by the fact that the commerce OF tho Hudson Is Al
least three times creator than that of the Mississippi
and many times that of the Missouri and Ohio rivers
Tho committee say that this unjust treatment Of
the State has continued for many years. Although
an appropriation of $4,000 by Congress, in 1894, ap
psrentiy recognized tho responsibility OF the Naons
Government to preserve and improve navigation IN the
Hudson, feeling grew up thereafter thai the river
was In goat a sense an outlet Of the Erie Cana
that the state Of NewYork should maintain It - onl
the State received tolls from tho commerce vt the
canal The committee point out that. tho canal TOLL
having been abolished, the United states Government
should now extend aid IN the state In maintaining
the navigation Of the canal and the hudson River.
After admitting that 10 might be necessary TO con
tnue temporary appropriations from the State treas
ury, THO committeo the member OF wnich are sen
and LInsOn recommend that the senate pass pre-
Ss 81 'a e. S,SS rs os i .s ss s

Representatives from this state shall DO requested Il
| the rivers and tho canals and that copies Of thu
report be sent to each member NJ the Congressional
delegation from this state.
