NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Sept. 2S.-The

Hall yesterday, and OF 1900 delegates
about 200 are on hand. Mayor O'Don-
nell welcomed the delegates to q city

city with the smallest police force in the
state and nothing for IL to do but care
for some bad people who come in from
other towns.
President Hosmer's annual address
congratulated the members on the per-
manency OF the $4,000 state appropria-
ton. There are about 10000 firemen in
the state, and as the mem bership fee Is
but one dollar year, IL is certainly not
asking too much to have at least one half
OF them become members. During the
past year there has been large increase
life and property. 1t is estimated by
competent authority that the fire losses
in the country last year reached the
enormous amount of 143 4-6 millions of
dollars, gain of "a 4-5 million dollars
over the previous year.
There was an increase OF 901 fires. In
this state the losses last year were 90, $751;

a gain OF almost $1,000, 900. There was

PECK MAKES ANSWER.
New York's Labor Commissioner
Tells of His Acts.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 2s.-At the spe-
cial session held by Judge Mayham in
the Supreme Court session chambers
here the case OF Labor Commissioner
Peck, charged with destroying public
documents, was called. Mr.. Peck's
counsel presented an affidavit signed by
Mr.. Peck stating that In order to obtain
the information required, to make
annual reports, the commissioner had
been compelled to follow the lead of our
sister states, to guarantee to all classes OF
people within the scope of his official
jurisd ict ion the strictest secrecy as to
information furnished.
He had never regarded communications
giving information as other than private
property of the commissioner and mad
never considered il his duty to preserve
them. He was constrained TO give pledges
of secrecy because the law provides that
no witness shall against his will be COM
pelled to answer questions respecting his
private affairs.
The commissioner denies that the re-
port was given out to influence the pend
ing election. He claims that the publi-
cation OF the names and addresses OF per-
sons and corporations who urnis he'd
data would be greatly injurious to the
public interests.
After some argument, Judge Mayham
sent the case to Judge Edwards special
term at Hudson, the second Saturday In
October.

A Invsstig alton, Hc Says. Will bc Made
A. to Evicsions.
DUBLIN, Sept. 2s.--Mr. Morley, chief
secretary for Ireland, has sent q letter to
Justin Mccarthy, stating the intentions
Of the government with reference to
evicted tenants In ireland. Mr.. Morley
seoalls discussion that took place in the
House OF Commons in 1901, when An ef-
fort was made to remedy the evils by
passing the thirteenth section of the
land act.
That provision, he said, entirely failed
Of its object. The magnitude of the
failure was shown by the fact that the
extra police for evictions involve an an
nual cost OF OF 1000 pounds, to say moth
other proceedings. The disturb bed con-
dition of one notorious estats alone had
cost the country 1900 pounds since 1881,
while there are 763 persons in Ireland at
present under special police protection.
"The government" continues Mr.. Nor
ley, shave therefore decided to appoint q
small commission to examine the ques-
tion promptly and impartislly. They in
tend that the inquiry shall cover estates
within the scope Of section 133 of the
land act, where disputes still exist, but
all cases where evicted tenants have
quilted the country will be excluded.
The commission will report on the num-
Der, circumstances, cost and results OF
evictions and on ali matters bearing on
the question In any way, including any
offers made for settlement.
I'VE institute the inquiry in good
faith. In the hope that both landlords
and tenants will assist, and in the belief
that II 10 an indispensable preliminary to
enectual measures for healing very deep
social mischief.

BACK In UNCERTAINTY.
Supreme Court Decision So Leaves Phelan
Quo warranto Case.


Quo warranto Case.
NEW HAVEN, Sept. 28.-The Supreme
Court has filed its decision In the Phelan
quo warranto case. On all the votes cast
and counted, and on all the votes cast
and rejected on which any evidence was
offered in the Superior Court, the Su-
preme Court finds in accordance with
the finding of Judge j. M, Hall, which
finding was hled In July, viz: That Phe-
Ian had between $50 and 400 majority and
Sanger bad between 30 and 40 majority.
But they find that Judge Hall ruled In
correctly when he ruled that the moder-
ators were correct In rejecting all double
ballots found by them, sos in all.
There was no evidence brought out
In the lower court to show what these
ballots were, whether Democratic or Re-
publican, or how many OF them were
Democratic or how many Republican,
and the ballot boxes have been opened
and most of the ballots Destroyed long
ago.
The decision on this double ballot
clause throws the question OF Phelan's
majority back to uncertainty again. I'm
less Messrs. Phelan and Sanger 20 into
a new trial and can find the evidence to
show that the election officers properly
rejected the sos double ballots, upon
which no evidence has yet been produced,
they cannot hope to take Office durin,
the present term.
