what safeguards are to be provided to
Ensure unanimous execution? This last
point-as between majority or unani-
nous action-is a vexing one, and is the
same one which has arisen as between

IL evident that Lord Salisbury hesitates
TO assent TO any agreement which may
renew this controversy. An agreement
upon King Oscar as final arbitrator
would obviate a deadlock, but this. while
proposed unofficially during the recent
discussion. has not been assented to
officially. SO that attention Is still CEN

City Fathers Say That All Hub Employees

Boston. April 4-The board OF alder
men made a bold stroke at arbitrary
legislation yesterday afternoon even in
the face OF Mayor Quincy's announce
ment that such legislation, In his opinion,
was unconstitutional. Ii was 10 the et-
feet that the board, by a majority vote.
united with the common council in pass
ing over the mayors veto an amend
ment 10 the ordinances which stipulates
that every male subordinate In the en-
Iloy Of the city shall be "A legal voter in
Boston.
This Is a very important amendment,
and test OF it's constitutionality may not
be long deferred. 1t is claimed that the
employees OF the department OF educa-
tiOn arenot affected by its workings. but
there are scores of other employees who
do not claim a residence In this city, to
say nothing OF the men who live in
Winthrop and other towns and vote In
Boston.
Afi.s. passing the common council it
was not believed the aldermen would
pass the measure over the mayors veto
chiefly on the ground that Democratic
members in the lower body who are an
tagonistic to Mayor Quincy, aided by sew
eral Republicans, had passed the or
dinance. No provision is made under the
amendment for the employment OF boys,
of whom there are many in the employ

and the final vote was 10 I'm favor
The common council vote in favor OF the
amendment Notwithstanding the veto
Of the mayor, was 81 TO :.
The mayor bases his objections TO the
amendment on statement in the law

unconstitutional. Councilman Linehan.
who offered the amendment, states that
he did SO after consultation with the law
