DISPUTED SENATE CASES.
Albany, Dec. (Speclal).-The Court OF Appeals dis
plays commendable spirit OF promptness in hearing
arguments upon the disputed Senate District cases
To-day Matthew Hale for the Republicans. and
Delos McCurdy. for the Democrats appeared before the
Court and asked for early hearing upon the cases
Chief Judge Ruger sind that the Court would listen
to the arguments Friday This was an agreeable
surprise 70 the Republicans rs they had feared that
the Court OF Appeals would not be able TO listen to
the arguments the before Tuesday or Wednes
day Of next week. The arguments being delivered
upon Friday, it is possible that the Court Of Appeals
Will be able TO hand down its decisions in the cases
day next week. A long period OF public agita-
ton over the possible constitution OF tile state senate
Will thus be avoided.

IN the finances has been effected at their expense
The health Of the MnsSy is also much shattered and
there is ntte doubt that he will retire If the Car
