SENATORS CONFER.
The Financial Condition of the state
Considered.

Upon the adjournment of the Senate
yesterday the Democratic members of that
body resolved themselves into secret con-
ference, and for more than an hour DIS
cussed various subjects Of legislation.
The attendance was rather small, many
Of the members being absent.
The session was purely informal, and was
held with tightly closed doors. The MEM
bers, when they emerged, were rather reti-
cent as TO what occurred, but IL was
learned that no final conclusion was
reached regarding any subject under con-
sideration.
It is understood that while the speeches
were very general in their nature they
chiefly related 20 financial matters and the
conduct of the public institutions of the
State. The itemized reports brought IN
few DAYS ago were alluded 10 and there
was general comment on the management
of the institutions-what improvements
have been made and what changes may
now be made to conduct them more eco
nomically and successfully.
The financial condition of the State was
adverted to, and many pending measures
and Others contemplated were commented
on.
The conference was only intended lot an
interchange of views. and rs stated no de-
finite line of policy was agreed upon.

AS TO INCREASE OF sALARIEE

AS TO INCREASE OF sALARIEE.
As to the charge of improperly increas-
ing salaries | submit the following:
/. The present allowances are no more
and generally less than Is paid in other
State departments for equal amount OF
labor and equal qualifications.
@ That ali had been tried by the Com
missioner and Board during the first year
and were found capable, honest, and
faithful and were by the President OF the
Board officially so reported.
3. The rate of allowances first paid were
fixed under different laws for less services;
and the work and labor was changed and
increased after tho salary was fixed.
4. That it was the duty of the board to
see that fair allowance was paid its en-
ployes when they knew that their labor
was increased.
COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION.
As far as the Commissioner of Immigra-
ton is concerned, his employment and the
plan of immigration work was. after ma
ture consideration by Major W. 1. Sutner-
lin, s. Wexford Corbin, ESQ.,. II. l.. Lyman,
Esq. and Judge Grattan, employed at less
cost than the committee reported. and he
has responded promptly TO all demands.
As TO THE COMMISSIONER OF AoRIcULrRrE.
The salary of 81. 800 was fixed in 1877 un-
der a totally different law from the az
riculture bill of 1883. March 5th. Under
the old act of 1877 there was but little to
do. Colonel Harrison reports In his nlntn
report that "three fifths of his eppropria-
tion" is expended by the chemical depart
ment. There was no immigration work.
The Auditor of Public Accounts Kept the
accounts of the department and PAID ac-
counts on the written order OF the Commis.
sioner. There was no itemized account OF
expenditures by any one. There was no
supervision of fertilizer dealers or manu-
facturers. no inspection of factories. no ex-
animation for registration or collec-
tion of tax or fees, and no collection
of labor statistics, or regular collection OF
minerals. ores, dc. All these duties were
added by the new law and the board. Inc
Commissioner and his securities were re-
sponsible for expenditures and receipts
passing under his supervision. and the re-
sponsibility and care of the department
was by the new law directly on him. Every
cent of receipts or expenditures has been
settled every three months. For these ad-
ditional and new duties aud labors the
board, after the recommendation Oh tne
Finance Committee. Nessrs. Mallory ana
Corbln. decided to make the allowance nor
secretary. and treasurer $500 per year. Inc
Commissioners never recommended tne in-
crease OF but one salary--that OF the Cne-
mist-but he believes the action OF tne
board IN regard to these employees was put
just.
