GOVERNOR HILLS VIEWS,
New York's Executive Sends His Message
TO the Legislature.

New York's Executive Sends His Message
TO the Legislature.
ALBANY, Jan. 6.-The assembly was called to
order at IL o'clock this morning and immedi-
ately elected its officers. For the first time in
many years the democrats controlled the body.
William F. Sheehan was elected speaker, receiv-
ing sixty-six votes against fiftysix cast for Milo
NJ. Acker, the candidate of the republicans
Mr.. Sheehan briefly addressed the assembly,
after which the minor officers were elected in
accordance with the program. The governor
message was then received and read.
GOV. HILLS RECOMMENDATION.
In his annual message Gov. Hill recon-
mends an enumeration of the inhabitants Of
the state for the purpose of a reapportionment
of the senate and assembly districts. q Just and
reasonable excise law, and the submission to
the people of the prohibition amendment
passed by two legislatures.
THE LABOR QUESTION.
In the interests of labor the governor saws:
'During the labor difficulties arising out of the
strike of the New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad Company last summer there
were developed two defects or omissions in the
statutes of our state, to which the careful at
tention of the legislature is directed-one relat-
ing to the arbitration of labor disputes and
the other concerning the employment Of pri-
|
creating the board of arbitration and media
ton seems to be that the state simply creates a
standing tribunal to which the parties TO labor
controversy are voluntarily to submit their
differences for amicable adjustment; but no
method of compelling such submission is
provided. This is probably all that
can be accomplished by legislation to facilitate
the arbitration of such controversies az be-
tween individuals but corporations are the
creatures Of the law and their management and
actions, as well as the conduct and relations of
| their employees can, to a large extent, be regu-
| lated by statute and the enforcement Of the
| arbitration practically controlled thereby"
The governor suggests the advisability of a
modification OF existing laws which allowed
| the employment of .Pinkerton detectives by
| corporations or individuals during the labor
| strikes.
The message protested against the passage of
the elections bill now pending in Congress,
| (which is destined TO extend federal control
over congressional elections" and concludes az
/ follows:
Il urge the legislature, by resolution or
| otherwise, as may seem best to express SO en-
/ phatically it condemnation Of the proposed
| legislation that the united voice of New York's
Representatives in Congress may be secured to
avert from the state and the country the evil
effect of SO unwise a law"

How the Elections Bill Was sidetrackcd
Yesterday.

How the Elections Bill Was sidetrackcd
Yesterday.
The surprise Of the session was perpetrated
in the Senate yesterday by the success Of a
quickly executed movement to put aside the
elections bill. Eight republican Senators COM
bined with the democrats to defeat the elections
bill. The conduct Of the Idaho Senators
Shoup and Observation-Disclosures greatly to
the surprise. These latter Senators we're
depended upon to make the passage of the
elections bill certainty, one of the apologies
for delaying decisive action being the absence
OF the unelected representatives of Idaho.
Senator Stewart was the prime mover in the
thoroughly successful revolt. Not more than
two or three other republicans knew what was
going to happen, but all the democrats were by
no means in the dark. A keen observer might
have noticed good deal Of activity on the
in the ways of the Senate might easily have
imagined that pairs were being arranged in q
manner which was as nearly possible unos-
tentatious. Another fortunate circumstance,
80 far as the advocates Of silver and the oppo-
nents OF the elections were concerned.
was the calling to a. dair Of Senator
Harris. 1t was past L zee Presidents lunch
time when the debate on the Atkinson bill
closed, SO he yielded up his gavel to substi-
tute and. strangely enough, that substitute
WIS ycbtcTuuy ucmOctut, anu f1drrlS at
that The value Of the Senator from Ten
nessee q presiding officer became very appar-
ent when Mr.. Hoar made an attempt to dis
cuss Senator Stewards motion. Then Mr. Harris
said, and there was good deal Of deliberate
emphasis in his manner and tones: 1.-THE chair
will entertain no proposition that amounts to
or tends to debate"
The vote, as announced in yesterdays STAR,
was thirty-fve to twenty-nine, and the repub-
licans who made a majority possible were Sen
ators Jones (Nevada), Mcconnell, Shoup, STAN
ford, Stewart, Teller and Wolcott.
The financial bill is now on top and IL will
remain the unfinished business of the Senate
until it is finally disposed of.

SOME ENGLISH VIEWS.
What is Thought in London Of the
Behring Sea Dispute.
SEVERAL GUBERNATORIAL MESSAGES.
PameIl and O'Bnen Hold Another
Conference at BouIogne.
SPECIAL FOREIGN DISPATCHES
OUR FOREIGN POLICY.

Sir Charles Upper Does Not Believe That
the Navy is Being Prepared for an Attack.
LONDON, Jan. Gin an interview yesterday
Sir Charles Upper, the Canadian commits
sioner, said he did not believe that the naval
forces Of the United States we're being placed
in readiness to attack the vessels of foreign
nations. He inclined to the belief that the
utterance of the American government on the
Behrlng sea question might have been circu-
lated for election purposes.
The st. James Gazette in referring to the
Behring sea imbroglio says 1t accepts the
official denial, but asks why liz the navy OF the
United States being massed in the waters Of the
Pacific ocean unless il is intended to make Of
Behring sea O mare claussum. The Gazette adds
that officers of the American navy do not act
upon rumors published in the New York
Herald or the Pal MAJ Gazette,
The Pal Mall Gazette says: Mr.. Blaine obvi-
ously means to try more bounce for the sake
of making political capital. We are convinced
however, that the Americans will not support
Mr.. Blaine. 1t is imperative to arbitrate the
matters in dispute
The Globe says that it attributes thefriction to
Mr.. Blaine's spread eagleism. and it is of the
opinion that In view of 4 possible. though un-
likely, American display;of force in Behring sea,
Great Britain ought instantly to strengthen her
Pacific squadrons. The Globe also advocates
the settlement of all the matters in dispute by
means of arbitration.
CONSIDERING SECRETARY BLAINE's DISPATCH.
The Press Association of this city announces
that Lord Salisbury is engaged in the con-
sideration of the forty-page dispatch received
from Mr.. Blaine December 80. the latest dis
patch received from Washington.
1t does not contain a definite acceptance Of
Lord Salisburys proposals for arbitration on
the main question-that Of the right Of the
British scalers to catch seals In Behring sea.
hat II ia
cusses only the subsidiary point, arbitration,
on the time of closing the sealing.
The Press Association adds that Mr.. Blaine
has not replied to Sir Julian Pauncefote of
June last, in which the latter says that her
majesty's government must hold the govern
ment Of the United States responsible for
the consequence of the trouble with the
British vessels contrary to the principle Of in
ternational law. The Press Association also
states that no preparations have been made to
augment the British fleet in the North Pacific
ocean, as such a statement would be regarded
as q menace.

THE OUTLOOK IN MASSACHUSETTS.

Democrats Hoping to Make an Alliance with
the Farmer Legislators.
SPRNaYIELD, MASS, Jan. 6.-After . short,
sharp fight the democratic state central COM
mittee last night reelected Delos B. Phelps
permanent chairman. Three Farmers Mutual
Benefit Association representatives in the legis-
lature held conference last night. At it's con-
ciIsion they would simply say they viii prob.
the democrats. with the hope Of corralling their
votes, will invite the F.M.B.A. men to Join them
In caucus today.
Alta meeting Of republican members last
night Chairman Partridge declared that some
thing must be done to save republicans from
defeat. Several members suggested that the
wisest plan seemed to be not only in
the election Of United States Senator,
but in speaker Of the house;
TO nominate either one Of the
Farmers Mutual Benefit Association members
or some one identified with their interests. Gen.
Martin, ex-chairman of the republican state
central committee, made a vigorous speech,
taking the ground indicated. Another con-
ference will be held
