WHO GETS THE VOTES
CONTEST MAY BE IN THE NEW
STATES.
Utah. Arizona and New Mexico, with Their
Six Senator'S, May Determine the Political
Complexion of the Upper House-PoIiti-
cal Classification of Governors.
Point Overlooked.

According to a Washington correspon-
dent a point that has been overlooked in
computing the political complexion of the
next Senate Is the admission of Utah
with two United States Senators. The
act OF the last session of Congress admit
ting Utah provides that in March, 1895,
the constitutional convention shall be
held. On the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November of that year the
constitution is to be submitted to the peo-
pie. and if ratified and found by the
President to be in accordance with the
act he will issue a proclamation admitting
it as a State. The act also provides that
a representative of the LIVth Congress
shall be elected at the same time the vote
is taken upon the constitution, also that
State officers and a legislature shall be
chosen, and that if the constitution is
ratified the legislature shall Immediately
meet and elect two United States Sena-
tors.
Asthereis about a month from the time
the election is held until the LINth Con-
gress meets, there will be ample time to
have all the formalities complied with and
Utah proclaimed a State in time for it's
Senators and Representatives to partici-
pate in the organization of the next Con-
STcSS. IHlS WOulu mike Ill all ninety
Senators, and, as the new Senate now
stands, the politics of the Utah Senators
would cut an important figure.
Another probability which arises is the
admission of both New Mexico and Ari-
IONA, which may be accomplished in
time. so that four more Senators would
participate in the organization of the next
Senate. Bills have already passed the
House for the admission of both these
Territories. The Senate Committee on
Territories has reported them favorably
to the Senate and they are now on the
calendar. Senators of both parties nave
been urging their passage, and it is more
than likely that neither party would OPP
pose them, because of the effect it would
have upon the elections. as the people are
anxious for their admission and would re-
sent opposition by any party to that end.
1t is, therefore, quite likely that the
battle for the control of the Senate will
yet be fought out in Utah. New Mexico,
md Arizona next year. The admission
Of these new States would make Il total
of ninety-four Senators. and any party
to control would need forty-eight for Il
majority. With the Vice President the
Democrats could control the Senate with
fOrty-SeVen Senator's.

mission. In the case of public corpora.
IONS like railroads, it is the commits
SION s opinion that there would be no
ulmcuity and no hardship in compelling
'he acceptance of terms of settlement
as agreed on by the commission. Besides
TINS recommendation it is urged on States
10 establish systems of Cancellation and
aroitration similar to that in Massachu-
setts and to render illegal contracts re-
curing men not to join labor organiza-
lions or to leave them as conditions of en-
pioyment. The commission further urges
employers everywhere to recognize labor
unions and TO treat with them and to
raise wages voluntarily when trade con-
ditions will permit.
Taken as a whole. the report must be
regarded as highly favorable to the cause
OF organized labor and to the principle Of
arbitration.

ment of $4,000, and that q quarter of a
million will be expended upon the walls
and ceiling of the lower floor. But
there are now no signs of such eXtrava-
gance.
The building has a solid and permanent
look, and what impresses one most is the
choice material used and the absolute
perfection of every detail. The walls are
friedrich and stone, and the floors are of
steel, tera-cotta and cement, surfaced
Over with marble and mosaic. There is
no wood used in the construction except
the cabinet work about the doors and
windows, and it is thought Mr.. Yerkes
couldn't burn it down if he tried.

fusal," says the report, "Ot the General
Managers Association to recognize and
deal with such n combination of labor as
the American Railway Union seems ar
rOgan and absurd when we consider it's
standing before the law, it's assumptions
and its past and obviously contemplated
future action"
The reduction of wages at Pullman to
offset losses are found to have thrown by
far the greater burden ON labor, though
during the time of reductions no salaries
of officers, managers or superintendent
were reduced-employes who manifestly
could have sustained a reduction much
better than the wOrkmen in the shops.
The refusal to cut down the high rents
in Pullman is regarded as unfair and I'M
wise. considering the reductions in wages
of those paying the rents. Failure to
make any concession and the discharge
of members of the committee calling on
the Pullman officials for increased pay
precipitated the strike. The orderly con-
duct of the Pullman strikers is comment
ed on with favor.

MANY TANGLED LIVES
Revealed by a BigsM1 Suit in a
Massachusetts Town.
The First Wife Of the Alleged Big
amist Lives i'm This City-A Divorce
Necessary for Legal Marriage.

Leander NJ. Hawley, who was arrested
on the charge OF bigamy some time ago,
was discharged by trial Justice Parker l..
Martin of Greenfield, Mass, yesterday.
After listening to the evidence that was
produced the court decided that Hawley
had had no intentions of committing
any crime. He had been separated from
his wife for more than seven years, and as
he believed her to be dead there wasco
reason why he should not have married
again. AT the same time, however, it would
be necessary for him to obtain a
legal separation from his first wife, now
that she had been found, after which he
could marry his second wife once more.
The case is very peculiar one. Haw-
ley's first wife, Laura s. Woodward, left
him more than ten years ago, after more
had extended over nearly seven
years. She took her two
daughter swith her, leaving the boy to
Hawley had not heard from her, and some
time ago he met and loved Fuella
Maria Phillips, a girl who had scarcely
entered her teens. As she returned his
affections they were married and her pa
renIS seCuTtu IidWicJ diIcsb ou bnt
charge Of having enticed her from her
one. AT this time he was discharged,
but the case attracted so much attention
that it reached the ears of the friends of
his first wife, and as they knew she was
still alive, procured his arrest on the
charge OF bigamy.
The evidence i'm the case was to the
effect that Mrs. Hawley was now living i'm
Providence with John A. Alden and that
they had had four children. Her brother,
who testified that he had seen her at her
new home, was not prepared to say that
she had been married to Alden, although
he believed that such ceremony had
been performed.
A News reporter called at the house of
John A. Alden, 10 Merrill street, this
morning. Mrs. Hawley came to the door
and ushered him into room where three
children were playing on the floor. She
was very willing to talk about the
case and said that she left Hawley nearly
eleven years ago because he had failed to
provide for his family. She came to Prov
idence and went to her mothers home,
where she met Mr.. Alden.
He had engaged her to act as
his housekeeper and she had
lived with him since that time. She
never had been married to him and had
no communication with her husband
since she left him. His two children were
still with her, and had always been well
provided for.
