ELECTIONS BUREAU SAFE.
NOT ABOLISHED By TANGLE OF LAWS
AS SOME PERSONS FEARED.
IBx TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
Albany, May 3-There was a little furry of ex-
citement in the State capital to-day for short
period over a rumor that the Governor had signed
a bill amending the election law that accidentally
abolished the bipartisan Bureau Of Elections
of New-York so recently established. For half
an hour it seemed as though Michael j. Dady
and Charles b. Page. the Republican election
commissioners not to speak of the Democratic
commissioners, might lose their $1,000 positions.
1t was pointed out that Governor Odell on
March ID, had signed Senator Rainess bill es-
tablishing a bureau of elections. which amended
Section IL OF the election law passed in 1896
as amended by Chapter 630 of the Laws of 1899
The Raines bill became Chapter 80 Of the Laws
of 1901. Then, on April %. Governor odell
signed a bill Of Assemblyman Hitchcock, of
Warren County, providing that the term of office
OF inspectors Of election in towns should be for
two years This bill became Chapter 53G of the
Laws of 1901 It also amended Section IL. Of the
election law of 1895, as amended by Chapter
63O OF the Laws OF 1899.
1t was contended that Chapter 536 Of the Laws
of 1901 being the latest statute Of this year. su-
perceded Chapter %. and therefore the Bureau OF
Elections was abolished. Governor Odell stated
tonight, however, that he was assured by his
legal advisers that the acts were not contradic-
tory Or that they affected one another They
both modified a law passed in recent year.
That was all they did. The Bureau OF Elections
was safe. Those members of the legislature
who had been thinking there might be an extra
session of the legislature TO correct the alleged
error. upon hearing OF the Governors declara-
tion gave up the thought Of visiting once more
the capital this year.

GOVERNOR TO SIGN BILL FOR REIMBURSEMENT
FOR EXPENSES IN AoUEDUcT SUIT.
Albany May s.-Governor Odeil after much con-
eideration has decided TO sign the bill which pro-
Ndes that Controller Coler shall receive from the

result in saving the city from the payment OF the
judgments referred to. II established that the
Corporation Counsel acted without authority in

The Governor finally decided that while Il is
establishing a doubtful precedent provide that
the city shall bear this expense yet the city
cepted the blll thus showing its willingness TO have
this expense imposed upon it, Il should be left 10
the discretion OF the officials and II they At TO

he put in practice in Colorado. Jap
ancse coal miners are being installed.
Two months ago the miners at Gal
lup to the number of 500 walked out,

given was that the company would not
recognize the union. Many of the
striking miners moved away, and a
few of them went back to work.
Catalpa and Gallup mines were
stocked with white miners, the Weav-
er mine will start with japanese. Yes
terday the first crew of japanese was

ty of them, and they came from the
coast cities. Another crew of go will
arrive this week, followed later by 2lO
more. making il total of 800. These will
be employed on the Weaver mine.
No trouble between the whites and
the Japanese is anticipated, as the
Japanese are residents of the United
States and We're not imported from
Japan.

that nothing had been shown that
