SENATE JUNKET.
Business Transacted in the Upper
House Yesterday.
In the Senate yesterday Holloway,
for the Committee on Attaches, Contin-
gent Expenses and Mileage, offered a
resolution providing that the office Of
Assistant Bill Clerk, held by J. u.
after January 10Th, and that the Con-
troller be notified Of the fact.
Holloway related that Wiseman had
left the city, sold his warrant, and was
not engaged in the performance Of his
duties. The resolution was adopted
Senator Bert voting no.
Some such action as the one taken
has been expected ever since the De-
ginning of the second week of the ses-
sion.
Many orders and resolutions Of the
Senate have been completely ignored,
and in some cases the members them
selves have not been supplied, it is al
legged, with papers of general distribu-
ton.
There was yesterday on file in the
Sergeant alarms department, a bum
die Of orders from great many State
officials and bureaus, for files of bills
introduced and printed since the session
commenced. 1t is said that there are
no bills to be had for the applicants,
and that the orders will be left to die
on the file.
No bills, journals or other documents
distributed on the floor of the Senate
are ever supplied to the several news
paper correspondents, regardless of the
fact that during the third day Of the
session a resolution was adopted pro-
viding that two copies Of each and
every bill, resolution or other document
should be supplied to them.
Senator Boyce, later In the day, intro
duced a resolution which will, it is
hoped by those Interested, change the
present condition of things. Boyce's
resolution, which was referred to the
Committee on Attaches, Contingent
Expenses and Mileage, was as follows:
BOYCES RESOLUTION.

made respecting the efficiency of the
public service and the adequacy Of the

Whereas, In order to promote the
