AGAINST SEATING QUAY.
A VOTE OF FOUR TO THREE. DE-
CIDES ON AN ADVERSE REPORT.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIsUNE.l


Washington, JAN 5.-As was to be expected.
the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tons to-day decided to report adversely on Mr..
Quay's title to seat in the upper House of
Congress. The vote stood to 4 against recog-
Governor Stone. of Pennsylva MIA. The actual
pointment-Messrs. Chandler, Hoar and Nc
Comas-and four against accepting it-Messrs.
Burrows. Caffery. Pettus and Harris. Mr.. Tur-
ley paired with the majority and Mr..
Pritchard with the minority
AS the case now stands, the resolution to seat
the ex-senator from Pennsylvania can only be
taken up by majority vote, and IT is doubtful
whether such a vote be secured, at least
until after the disposition of the pending cur
rency bill. Mr.. Quays friends still insist that he
has support enough in the Senate to establish
his title to a seat. but there are forty-six
members of the body actually on record OPP
posing the contentious on which he relies to
secure admission his prospects of success are
not extremely fattering. His own is. in
fact, weaker than Corbett's for in Oregon IN
1897 the Legislature failed even to organize. In
Pennsylvania. moreover. the State Constitution
provides expressly that In case of vacancy IN
the United States Senate the Governor shall
call special session OF the Legislature to fill
1t, thus leaving excuse for the Governors
present exercise Of the power OF appointment.
NO definite time was set for the presentation
OF the committees report to the Senate. The
minority will also present a report. Senator
Burrows, the only Republican on the commit
tee who voted against Mr.. Quay. will prepare
the report of the majority and Senator Hoar
that OF the minority.

FRANCHISE TAX QUESTIONS.

CONFLICT OVER THE TINE WITHIN WHICH THE
ASSESSMENTS MUST BE CERTIFIED
Albany Jan. (SpeciaD.-Some question has arisen
by reason OF conflicting statements as to the time
within which the Tax Commissioners must certify
the assessments made upon special franchises to
the Tax Commissioners OF the city OF New-York
Upon inquiry at the office OF the State Board it is
learned that Mr. Ffero, the counsel TO the Board
acting on behalf of the Attorney General has pre-
pared an opinion upon the subject for the use Of
the Board which. IL is understood. also reflects the
view of the Law Department of the city OF New
York upon the subject
The charter Of the city OF New-York provides
for the completion of the assessment roll of that
city on the second Monday in January of each
year. after which time the assessment roll must
be open to the public for purposes Of examination
and thereafter the Board of Tax Commissioners OF
the city sits as a board OF review The books re-
main open for correction until May l. and. begin
ming with that date the CITY Board must pre-
pare assessment rolls to be presented to the Mu-
nicipal Assembly In July.
The question Is as to when TIE assessment roll
completed under the provisions of the Franchise
Tax law. This question is passed upon in the case
1853 N Y 3S1. where it is said that the assessment
upon property situated in the city Of New-York
Is completed in each year on May !. The con-
fusion arises from the fact that there practi-
roll; one the period already referred to, when IL
is open the public for inspection, and the other
the final inspection. after which the roll is made
up for delivery TO the Municipal Assembly. Attor-
ney General Davies concludes, in view OF the de-
csion of the Court of Appeals referred to and
other decisions cited in his opinion. that the time
Franchise Tax law is May /. and not the second
Monday in January.

not his fault some one else does not

as he was Senator he felt free 30 talk.

there was no use to talk on such mat

Senator Tillman next discussed the
evil OF personal gain in any other than
the d.Spensary system. He said his
nose was red but he had never drunk
a barrel in all his fifty-three years. As
to himself. he did not care, but ne had
sons and nsighbors' sons and wanted
them saved. The Prohibitionists have
half loaf now. and it is good and
sweet. but they want all or none.
Then he alluded - the free liquor and
prohibition period. while the law was
suffering from the interregnum. That
was such prohibition as will come He
wanted TO know why ministers would
not recognize men as they were and
no' as they ought to be. There WAS
something in the Bible against good
men consorting with bad men. He
supposed they wanted to cruelty him
This is a free country and yet the
