MILITIA AND STATEHOOD.

These Subjects Occupied Attention
 of SeMate--HOuse Has Brief Session.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. S.--The senate yesterday discussed the bill for the re- organization Of the militia and also the statehood bill. Mr. Mallory of Florida led the Democratic senators in opposi- ton to the section of the militia bill providing for reserve force of trained men, the contention being that it not only infringed the rights of the several states, but also increased the standing army by 100000 men.
 When the statehood bill came up Mir. Beveridge had read number of reso- lutions adopted at a recent convention an Oklahoma fayoring single statehood with Indian Territory. Mir. Quay, who is leading the fight for the admission of Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico, criticised the. rAolutions, saying the people who adopEd them had not acted antelligently because the single state hood bill had been withdrawn. He fur ther charged that they did not repre- sent the sentiment of majority of the people of Oklahoma. MT. Nelson of Minnesota continued, but did not con clude his remarks in opposition to the omnibus statehood bill.
 The session of the house lasted lit tie more than two hours. The senate bill for the redemption of the silver coinage of the Hawaiian Islands and its recoinage into United States coin was passed after an hours debate.

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.

Organization Is Completed without
 Trouble -Governor's Message Read.
 ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. S.-Both branches of the state legislature are now ready for business. The senate was called to order by Lieutenant Gov ernor Higgins and the assembly by Clerk Baxter. As soon as organization was completed the governors annual message was received and read. The chief recommendations were:
 An amendment of the franchise tax law so as to compel corporations to pay on a basis of gross receipts.
 A tax on mortgages of mills on $1,0OO.
 Reorganization of the New York po- lice force so as to put an end to official blackmail.
 New laws to prevent illegal voting both at primaries and regular elections.
 Legislation for the improvement of state canals.
 Reorganization of the fire department of Greater New York.
 More money for charitable institu- tions and for public schools.
 Laws to provide for the arbitration of disputes between employers and em- ployees.
 Legislation that will prevent mem bers of the natiapal guard from being discriminated against by labor unions.
 A large crowd had assembled in the senate to hear what was expected to be lively tilt over the election of Sen ator Raines as president pro tenn. owing to the known opposition of Senators Bracket, Brown and Elsberg. They were in great measure disappointed, for the decision of the lieutenant governor that the whole discussion was out of order was with little friction sustained by the senate by vote of 25 to A, the three named voting with the Demo crats. Both senate and assembly elect ed the other Republican caucus nomi- nees.
 The senate when it convened resem, bled great floral show, so vast was the display of flowers Bishop William Croswell Doane offered prayer. Lieu tenant Governor Higgins, who presided for the first time over the delibera- tions of the senate, administered the oath of office to those who had not all. ready taken it.
 The assembly chamber was not as well filled as is usual at the initial con- vening of the house, but nevertheless presented bright and businesslike appearance.
 Prayer was offered by the Rev. Alex ander Love of Albany and the roll of the assembly called without delay. I'm mediately after roll call vote was talk en on the speakership. It was an nounced by Clerk Baxter that s. Fred Nixon had received S3 votes and George M. Palmer 50. Speaker Nixon tn Sn took his seat.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Decided Against the City in Favor of
 the Platt Bros Go.

the Platt Bros Go.
 The city has been given a knockout blow by the supreme court in its con- tention with the Platt Bros Co over discharging it's sewage in the Nauga' tuck river. Some time ago Attorneys Burpee and Kellogg filed petition with Judge Case of the superior court asking for the appointment of com mission to appraise damages to the Platt Bros for certain portion of their property for a limited time, claiming that the city did not damage all their property and therefore should not be compelled to pay for all of it. Judge Case determined relief could not be given in that manner, there being no authority in the statutes or the city charter by which he could appoint such a commission. Therefore there was no escape for the city from the injunction, which goes into effect June next. pro- h1biting it from using the Naugatuck river as means of sewage disposal.
 Counsel for the city thereupon took an appeal to the supreme court An ticipating, or fearing that Judge Case's decision would be sustained, though variety of opinion was expressed by local attorneys upon it, Attorneys Kel- iogg and Burpee,} a few weeks ago, drew up an amendment to the charter giving the city power to condemn what ever property may be deemed neces- sary to advance public Improvements. This amendment is now before the leg isIature and will disposed of as soon as possible, as haste is very neces- sary. If 1t is passed, and the proba- Utilities are that it will be, every relief sought by the city in this case will be given, for then it will be only neces- sary for the courts to appoint com mission to appraise such property as the city may wish condemned.
 Other decisions of the supreme court were: The Western Realty and Invest ment Go vs Louis F. Haase, error and Judgment reversed. Opinion by Ham ersiey J. Thomas F. Devine Henry O. Warner, error and new trial grant ed. Opinion by Prentice, J. William Brennan vs the Berlin Iron Bridge Go, error and case remanded for Judgment on first count only. Opinion by Hall, J.
