COMMISSIONER PECK.
The Labor Statistician Claims
First Blood.
CASE GOES OVER UNTIL OCTOBER.
He Appears in Court AND Claims the Prac-
tice in Controversy Was no Departure
from Prior Years.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. %. Labor Com
missioner Peck appeared in court and said
he should not be called on to allow an ex-
animation OF tariff statistics received from
New York manufacturers, because they
were given in confidence, and the facts
were obtainable in no other way. His re-
port on labor and ways was based on these
returns, and were his own property, not
that CT the state. The SAME methods pre-
vailed in other states. The case went over
TO Oct. l, and Peck claims first blood.
Commissioner Peck's sfidavits says in
part that the practice pursued by him in
1890, was no departure from the uniform
course of prior years. He found in the
law creating his office. provision author
ling him to examine witnesses. but with
the condition that no witness shall, against
his will, be compelled to answer any ques-
tions respecting his private affairs. This
restriction rendered it practically impos-
sible to give effect TO the intent OF the
legislature unless the confidence of the
people of the state was secured and re-
tanned, and their private affairs voluntar-
lily disclosed. Repeated refusals came to
him from business men and besides the
circulars sent out each year, he wrote
thousands OF letters giving personal assur-
ance that no use would be made of their
confidence and every communication be
held sacred. BY such legitimate means
and honorable pledges only was he able to
discharge the responsible duties Of his
Office and render TO the legislature the
data annually transmitted.
In tWenty-seyen states of the Union, he
said, tast have labor bureaus, it has been
found necessary 10 give to all persons the
pledge of security and confidence given by
MIN during the several years of his official
lie. The summary issued by him in 1892
and about which the proceedings had
arisen, was issued and published at the
time usual for the publication of other
state reports.
The ate npt made to establish the theory
that his report was given out to influence
pending elections was false. as the compila-
tions were all mace before any Democratic
nomination was made ana the data 90
tanned before any one could tell who the
nominees of any party would be. The
commissioner says ne Is further advised BY
his counsel that under decision in kindred
cases, lnjunct.ons would lie against him if
he attempted il any way TO make public a
u after he guaranteed should be held secret
and confidential.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. 27.-The
supreme court of the state fled decision
in the quo warranto cases of Phelan vs.
Walsh and Sanger VS.. Henry today. The
different classes of ballots in dispute were
discussed The superior court is advised
that ballots were rejected by moderators,
giving reason therefor, and those rejected
for being short would be counted in esti-
mating the whole number of votes cast
Errors in the count should be corrected
The opinion also specifies instruction in
regard to number of other ballots, reject
ing some ana accepting some.
Judges Seymour and Fem dissent from
the opinion of the majority, that the su-
perior court should have counted the BAL
lots, which the evidence show were re-
jected for being double. They hold that
the moderators could do nothing but follow
the plain instructions of the law, and that
the action of the superior court in both
cases should be sustained. Unless Phelan
and Sanger go into new trial and can hnd
evidence to show that the election officers
properly rejected sos double ballots, they
cannot hope to lake Office during the pres
