Greater New York I3ilI Reaches q Third
Reading In the Assembly.
ALBANY, Feb 6-The Republicans
strengthened their position in the senate
controversy by securing the revocation by
Judge Clute of his injunction against
Clerk Kenyon. The application was made
by Judge COuntryman on the ground that
the clerk was creature of the majority of
the senate and not of the presiding officer,
and Judge Clute promptly granted the ap-
plication.
Two hours before the time set for the
session the doors and corridors leading to
the senate were besieged by hundreds of
people anxious to obtain admission, and
when the galleries were opened they were
quickly filled to sutfocatiOn. The floor,
too, was filled with an anticipating crowd,
and when the gavel fell there was such Il
disturbance that the chair had tc call on
the sergeant-at-ar arms to take means to
clear it out Even during 'nprayer there
was a hubbub from the mems Mde.
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan read a lor g
argument defending his position and pro-
testing against the unseating of Senator
McCarty. In closing Mr. Sheehan said:
If there is authority of law for the commits
sion of such acts as these, if there is a prece-
dent anywhere for such Il course or if such con-
uucl meets the approval Oh me people, AIN
much mistaken. After all, the people of our
state will be the final arbiters of this question,
and it is for them to decide whether in this
controversy, involving construction of the
rules of procedure, the majority of the senate
was wrong or the presiding officer.
Senator SaXton replied, declaring that
the chairs ruling had been arbitrary and
revolutionary.
The regular order of business was finally
taken up and the Buffalo and Lansing burg
bills We're sent to the committee of the
whole without debate. After the intro
ductiOn of bills had proceeded for awhile

The federal elections repeal bill occupied
the entire session of the senate. Senator
Chandler concluded his speech, which was
extended through the past two or three
weeks and was followed by Senator
Palmer, who argued that the law, having
entirely failed of its purpose and being
obnoxious, should be repealed. An ami

fications of the state constitutions of Mis-
sissippi and Massachusetts, took place be-
tween Senators Frye and Hoar on one side
and Senators Gray and Bate on the other,
and it is likely to be renewed when the

interpret the constitution of the United
States to the satisfaction of an examining
committee, as is required by the constitu-
ton of Mississippi
THAT constitution, them" suggested
Senator Palmer. very much resembles the
constitution of Hawaii, established by the

Senator Bate of Tennessee interrupted to
read the following provision from the con-
stitution of Massachusetts,:
Every male citizen of 81 years or up

guardianship, who is able to read the con-
stitution of the commonwealth in the Eng
lish language and write his name shall be
