WORK AT ALBANY,
A Tilt Over the Appointment of Com.
 lnlttses in the Senate,


 ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 14.-When the Senate convened the list of commit tees was sent to the desk by President, pro tempore FaSsett, and read by the clerk.
 MT. Cantor, after the list had been read, made vigorous protest against the reduction of the Democratic repre- sentation on the important committees rom thrce to two, and said this was the first time in the history of the senate that such thing had been done. It was an outrage on the minority. They were entitled to moro than one third representation.
 Mir. Fassett replied that Senator Low had named two Democrats only on the Finance and Commerce and Navigation Committees. He assumed the entire responsibility for the committees. Gov ernor Hill had severely criticised the action Of the majority in the Legisla- tYrs. and had touched lightly on the 10al1nHs of the minority. The majority should be responsible for legislation. Heretofore there had been two commit tees with only two Democrats; now there were three such committees. That was tho sum and su ubstance of the whole matter, and he accepted the re- sponsibility.
 MT. Cantor responded that in the
 
 matters were entrusted the Democratic representation had been reduced. Pol 1tics alone had dictated the change.
 The Bank Superintehdent's and Rail road Commissioners annual reports were then presented.
 Among the bills introduced were the following:
 Providing tor eight female deputy factory inspectors.
 Empowering the Forest Commission to purchase lands at cost not to ex- coed S1. 50 aR acre in the forest preserve; also, making the services of fersons aiding in extinguishing forest fires 8 town charge.
 Imposing tax on all inheritances of $ on each e1OO in estates of over $500. In the event of 8 transfer to father, mother, brother, sister, wife, child or widow of son, or husband of daughter, or adopted children. the tax shall be 50 cents on @loo.
 A communication was received from the Governor reoiting the facts in con nection with the suspension of Judge Pitshke, of the Now York City Court and recommending the final removal of the Judge from duty on oceount of his continued illness.

THE SOMERSET SCANDAL.
The Prince oJ Wales iias no sympathy for
 the Aristocrats.

The Prince oJ Wales iins no sympathy for
 the Aristocrats.
 LONDON, Jan. 14.-The scandals which have touched the Prince of Wales household have left their mark upon him, and he is using whatever influence he possesses to secure, if possible. a complete revelation of the actual facts. In this connection it may be re- marked that singular rumor is ailoat to the effect that the stories about the young heir presumptivo were started with view to keeping tho Prince of Wales quiet. The report is that the men of rank and title who are impli- cated in the Somerset scandals know that they need expect no sympathy from the Prince and that none of the influence of the royal family would be used to shield them from police inves- tigation and judicial exposure.
 It so happens, however, that the Princes belief in his sons innocence is stronger than his natural repugnance to the publicity which further ventila- tion of the affair must entail, and the outlook is bad for tho accused aristo- crats, whatever it may be for young Prince Albert Victor.
