He Recommends More Stringent Legisla-
 ton in Labor Matters.
 Harrisburg, Jan. In his biennial message to the legislature Governor Pattison says that during the past two years, despite some depression in busi- ness and in the operation of our com nerciaI and manufacturing industries, there have been steady advancement and abundant occasion for thanksgiv- ing to a beneficent Providence. Our population has increased in numbers, the great estates of religion and educa- stsah have grown and strengthened, the pednle of the commonwealth. have been visfIads by no special scourge nor over whelmink calamity; charity and be- nevolence hAve been unabated; our fields have yiNlded bountiful harvests, and there has been measureable. if not entire, recovery in our great industrial
 The ladies returned to the city this and of profitable return to investment.
 The governor shows that the net debt of the state is $2OO44,652, and says that in a few years it will be totally eXtin" e,,Iished. He recommends the passage of laws which shall remove inequalities of taxation, and that gas and electric companies be specifically restored to the corporations liable to state tax.
 The abolition of fees and the payment of fixed salaries to certain state officials is urged, as is also an amendment to the law providing for the determination of election contests by the courts. Ihe governor suggests that the business or life insurance should be surrounded with additional safeguards for the pro- lection of the public.
 He praises the efficiency of the state banking department and recommends number of amendments to the pank law. He says that building and loan associations should be made subject to state supervision. The governor com mends certain suggestions in the re- port of the superintendent of schools looking to improvement of the pubic school system. He speaks of the emil nent progress made by the nationaL guard and of the vigorous proceedings taken by tEe law department in the cases of insolvent insurance companies and unsound beneficial societies.
 Referring to labor troubles in the state, Governor Pattison says:
 "Bitter. experience has often taught both employer and employe the unprot- itableness of strikes, lock-outs ana every form of forcible collision and pas sionate dispute between labor and cap- ital. Cooperation and arbitration therefore, seem to be methods of avoid ing or of settling conflicts which both would ardently seek"
 The governor recommends more strin- gent legislation to prevent discrimina- ton by common carriers in favor or some and against other patrons, ana .4weIls on the importance of construct ing good roads.
 The governor also touches upon many other topics of interest bo the people or the state.

 Sewer Gas.
 Chicago, Jan. IA building was wrecked and several people badly in iured here this evening by an explosion of sewer gas. The cover was blown off a man-hole alt Harrison street and Fifth avenue, and the concussion which followed could be heard several blocks away. The Lincoln hotel five story tenement house, was the nearest build ing to the explosion. Its front walls were badly cracked, windows and floors were twisted out of their places and the structure looks as if it had passed through a severe earthquake. MT. Staff ford and his wife, proprietors of the building, were sitting in front room on the second floor and say they were thrown several feet away. A heavy safe on the second floor was thrown from an improvised foundation to the floor.
 The injured: Timothy Gary, Jacob Cohen, John Clark, Terry yansky, Henry Worthington, George Hartly and Patricy Ryan,

MIR. LEXOW FINDS NO FAULT.
HE SAYS HE HAS 4 VERY HIGH RE-
 GARD FOR DR. PARRH URST.

There Could Be No Effectual Deal-All Cor ruption Not Yet Uuncovered-Much Work Remains to be DOne--Win Meet Again This Week.
 Albany, Jan. 1.-Senator Lexow, char man of the New York police investi- gating committee, was questioned to" day concerning Dr. Parkhurst's criti- cisms on the work of the committee The senator gave out the following:
 Tt is strange, indeed, that when the crucial point was reached and Byrnes was on the stand, as everybody knew he would be, last Saturday, nothing was suggested that was not done; and yet this criticism.
 ''Mr. Moss throughout the entire eX- examination stood at MT. Goft's side and co-operated in the conduct Of the inquiry. Obviously 1t is unnecessary to add anything to this
 q have too high a regard for Dr. Parkhurst to believe that he IS actuat- ed by any but the highest and purest motives in what he said. As to Q deal it is plain that one could not be effect ual unless through the cooperation or a majority of the committee acting in coniunction with all the counsel. The statement of this proposition is the best refutation of the charge. Let any one suggest a question that was not put, a charge that was not made, an indict- ment that was not brought-anything, in short, that was omitted-before they criticise. To my mind the meat of the statement is in the declaration that the committee has not uncovered all the corruption, and that there still remains work for the Society for the Prevention of Crime to do. I wish them Godspeed in the good work. (Signed)
 CLARENCE LEXOW."
 MT. Lexow said his committee would meet some day this week, probably to- morrow. The committees report, which is to be presented to the senate, will not be ready for ten days or two weeks.
