HEAVILY AGAINST HIM.

Albany jan ls CSpeciaD.-Assemblyman New
conner and AssembIyman Oldtimer were sitting to-
sether to-day in the lobby Of the Assembly Cham
her They were talking the way young Tim
Sullivan OF New-York, had "held up" the House
for almost half an hour IN order to show that the
Democratic minority demanded some recognition.
and how last young Tim" had been rolled
over and his opposition crushed fiat Mr.. NeY-
conner had been absent from the room at the time.
and his friend was reviewing the incident. He be-
gan by saying:
You see our Republican leader here had a bill
which had been reported out by the Committee
Revision It local bill that Tim didn't care
half as much about he does about OF the
cobblestones Of the Bowery. Well. when the bill
was reported, Tim, you see, objected, said that
cnly six OF the thirteen committee members had
voted for IT, Tim likes make trouble some
times, and he raised such this time that
the committee ordered to be called together
by its chairman. while the House took a recess
But the chairman, Mr.. Hatch, Of Steuben Coun-
ty couldn't get his committee together Finally
he rushed up to Speaker Nixon and exclaimed:
Can't get those fellows together! What am going
to do?

tell you they did fix 1t. Mr.. Aids Immediately
moved a call OF the House
when the members had been summoned Tim

Tim was tearing the air with his arms the Speaker
said calmly strong enough of voice TO drown
Tim for the nonce:

who's that?" asked Newcomer.
why, the Republican leader of course; and nd the he
leader responded by saying: I move the bill be
advanced to a third reading and passed
What did Tim say that?" asked Newcomer
again, - -,
then they gave way long enough for him TO say:

has been illegally reported. II was only passed on
by six members. =
:" Call the rollr shouted the Speaker, and the
voice of the clerk drowned out poor Tim just as
the sound OF Calling gun would drown out
toy torpedo. The bill was passed in glorious
fashion"
Would you call that an exercise OF the power Of
recognition the part Of the Speaker asked
Newcomer.
''I'd call It 1O5 to 49," was the answer.
Minister WI, of the Chinese Embassy sat in
chair alongside of Speaker Nixon while this parlia-
nentary suppression OF Assemblyman Sullivan

edy, the Caucasian way Of suppressing oVerfree
speech Minister WI had just made speech to
the Assembly expressing his admiration for par
liamentary institutions and his hope that the EN-
pire of China would eventually adopt them. The
Sullivan episode possibly may have impressed him
with the thought that parliamentary institutions
sometimes have arbitrary forms akin 70 those of
China.

reconstruction OF the Ist Congress District. where
Frederick Storm. Republican, received 2SO46 votes
TO 25 rs votes cast for Rowland Miles Democrat
This district, owing to the large Democratic vote
of Queens County. frequently elects Democratic
Congressman. 1t is such large district that the
Republican Senators and Assemblymen think that
Queens County might well be combined with some
Democratic wards OF the Borough of Brooklyn and
have Suffolk and Nassau counties alone in

The New-York Congress districts may perhaps be
reconstructed more on the lines of the Senate dis
tricts. If two Republican Congress districts
and perhaps three will thus be created. 1t is prob
able also that the lines of the Kings County Con-
gress districts will be changed.
In the interior of the State ii is probable that
st. Lawrence County will secure a divorce from
Saratoga and Fulton and Hamilton and be united
with Franklin County. The whole breadth of the
Adrondacks wilderness now separates the voters
of Saratoga and Fulton counties from the voters

forgave William F. Sheehan for forcing it upon
