THE SENATE.
emen for that quarter.

The Senate began the day yesterday
by overriding the Governors veto OF
the County Act, II to 3, Wilcox being
absent, but that was not done without
warm fight which brought out more
strongly than at any previous time
that the passage of the act as it has
passed is a matter of expediency and
not of principle. For the Senators do
not believe in county government in
the abstract, and men who voted to
override the veto do not believe in the
bill that has been passed.
When consideration came up at the
morning session in regular order,
Bishop moved to defer until after
noon, as he said he had not had suff-
cient time to consider the veto. 1t had
been planned to postpone considera-
tion, too, but the senate got beyond
control and the postponement could
not be carried

LIEUTENANT TAYLoR's TRIAL TO-DAY.
Officer Objected to Subordinate's Proximity
at Theatre.

court martial of unusual interest. in which
First Lieutenant Roy l. Taylor, 125th Company,
Coast Artillery, L. S. A, is to face charges Of
huniliating non-commissioned officer in pub
lic is TO be held in the Army Building this
morning at 8 o'clock. The trial of Lieutenant
Taylor which is the first of its kind in many
years is looked forward to with interest by
officers and soldiers throughout the United
States. 1t is generally believed that It will be
sort of test case. that may do away with the
petty distinctions often drawn by commissioned
officers.
The incident which brings Lieutenant Taylor
TO trial occurred recently in a theatre IN New
London. Taylor entered the theatre shortly be-
fore the performance began and found Sergeant
Patrick J. Butler, of his company, occupy
ing adjacent seat. The sergeant's presence
in uniform annoyed Taylor. and the lieutenant
ordered Butler to change his seat at the box
office. Captain r. H McMasters, of Taylor's
company, present at the time, and it is said
that he will appear against Taylor to-day.
The incident caused considerable comment in
army circles. Sergeant Butler has been in the
army many years, and is a. popular officer
It said at the Officers Club, at Governors
Island, yesterday, that Lieutenant TayIoE.
though in this city, had not visited the club. A
prominent member of the club said that the
officers greatly deplored Taylors action in New
London. and intnated that his presence was not
desired at the club.

4 NEW ELECTION Law.
More Concessions Made, but Free
Ballot Not Granted.

St; Petersburg, Dec 26.-The new electoral
law was gazetted to-day, accompanied by
statement explaining that, in view of the fact
that even some of the Western countries do not
possess general suffrage. the Cabinet could not
assume the responsibility Of decreeing it. The
ultimate decision must be made by the National
Assembly itself The election list will be pub
lished forthwith the date Of the elections will
then be announced, and as soon as the govern
rent receives notification that half the members
are elected the National Assembly will be con-
voked
The extension of the suffrage proclaimed to-
day applies especially TO the cities, where it is
made almost general Besides the workmen in
the factories and mills, for whom special pro-
visions are made, the suffrage will include every
owner Of real estate paying taxes, persons con-
ducting enterprises. such shopkeepers paying
licenses; persons paying a lodging tax or occu-
pying separate lodgings and persons in the gov
ernment service. including railroad men The
limit of rent paid by lodging holders as a voting
qualification is removed.
The indirect system Of two degrees Of voters
in both the cities and country is retained.
new feature Of the law is that the worknen, in
stead of having a specified number of class rep
resentatives. have to take their chances in the
electoral colleges with the other classes. More
over, instead of the cities having separate rep
resentauves the electoral colleges VIII be COM
posed by the provinces The workmen will
choose an elector for every 10000 men. The
result is shown in the case Of the Province Of
ST Petersburg where the electoral college will
contain fourteen peasant electors, eighteen land
lords, fifteen city landlords and twenty-four
workmen. BY this method. while the workmen's
electors are the largest class, they will only be
able to elect representatives in combination
The new law is a great extension OF the law
of August. It contains elements which certain
" will appeal to conservative opinion, but with
the slogan Of free ballot ringing in the popular
ear II VIII prove great disappointment, and is
certain to furnish to tle proletarat organiza-
tions a new weapon for agitation They no
longer want concessions. They are boldly pro-
claiming that nothing except the complete over
throw Of the autocracy and the establishment OF
a democratic republic will satisfy them.

MURPHY TO SEE MAYOR.
Tammany E.rpects Latter to "Cat
Loose" Nevertheless.

Charles F. Murphy. at the Anawanda Club last
night, said that he expected to Mayor Mcclellan
before Saturday night of this week Mr.. Murphy
asked if he had seen the Mayor within the last
few days with reference to appointments.
Il have not him. but expect to before Satur-
day night said Mr. Murphy
What about the Tammany slater" Mr.. Murphy
asked.
THE Mayor makes the slate" he said ''TIe made
it two years ago.
'If the Mayor refuses to recognize Tammany Hall
will there be ffght?" Mr.. Murphy asked
There won't be any fight in Tammany Hail. no
matter what the Mayors slate may be-" said Mr..
Murphy.
The best guess among the Tammany men is that
the Mayor will 'cut loose from the organization.
1t is understood that Commissioner Oakley of the
Water Supply Department. Commissioner Feather
son of the Dock Department and Commissioner
Best of the Bridge Department will be succeeded
by new men The Tammany men feel very sensi-
tive about Oakley and Featherson, particularly
FeatherSon 1t was Featherson. they say. that SO
managed the building of the Staten Island ferry
boats to allow the Mayor to make a show of
municipal ownership and operation of the boats at
the right time, thus carrying Richmond and saving
the day for Tanmany Hall. City Chamberlain
keenan, is likely to stay, although it looked last
week as If the Mayor would prefer charges against
him in connection with the New-York Contracting
and Trucking Company, of which there is q de-
tailed story elsewhere.
The Mayor is expected at the City Hall to-day.

Moscow. Dec. 25-The insurgents attacked both
the Kazan and Nicolai railroad stations to-day,

morning and a crowd of two thousand strikers,
including several hundred local mihtiamen'
joined the arrivals outside the Kazan station

THE cAssINI STARTS FOR BALTIC.
French Warship Likely to Await Develop
ments at Copenhagen.

Brest. Dec. 26.-The gunboat Cassini was made
ready for sea so soon after the orders were re-
ceived that she sailed at o'clock this afternoon
"on a confidential mission Commander
schwerer of the Cassini has sealed orders which
will not be opened until the vessel is twenty
miles at sea. 1t is assumed that her first stop
will be Copenhagen. The secrecy maintained is
attributed to the desire of the French officials
TO adopt tactful means of executing delicate
mission, and it is generally understood that if
the necessity arises the Cassini will proceed to
Russian waters.
The Foreign Office says the Cassini and the
Amiral Aube will stay at Copenhagen and
await developments. If 1t becomes necessary
the two French ships will embark French resi-
dents at Baltic seaports.

TRIAL FOR HAZERS.
Orders for First Members of Court
Martial Issued.

Washington. Dec. 26--Secretary Bonaparts
has made the first move toward the detail OF
the court martial for the trial Of Midshipmen
Coffin and Van Derveer on charges connected
with the hazing of Midshipman Kimbrough by
ordering four naval officers 10 proceed to the
Naval Academy and perform duty on the court
martial If Admiral Sands, the superintendent
of the academy. chooses to designate theh:
Under the law and regulations the AdmlraA
must himself appoint the court.
In ordinary cases he does this from the ON
GERS stationed at the academy. but in this case
it is believed to be desirable to have on the
court some officers not directly attached 10 the
establishment, and therefore free from the IN
fuence Of the local atmosphere. So at Admlfai
Sands's request the Secretary to-day designateV
these officers to proceed to Annapolis; Captain
Corwin p. Rees, Commander V. s. Nelson, Lieu,
tenant Commander Horace W. Harrison ana

Academy authorities and will be served upon

THE VATICAN ANSWERS FRANCE
Catholic Church Presents It's Views on the
Law Of Separation.

Paris Dec 26.-A French translation Of a
Vatican White Book regarding the separation
of church and state reached Paris tonight
divided into preface, two sections and an ap-
pendix, containing many unpublished docu-
nents. The book disclaims any intention Of re-
plying to those whom it calls the detractors OF
the Church. and expresses the desire not to
offend any one, saying that its chief objects are
to enlighten public opinion regarding the facts
and to prevent the handing down of incorrect
statements connected with the history OF such
an important happening.
In the leading chapters effort is made to
demonstrate that the entire onus for the rupture
between the Vatican and the French government
and the resultant separation of church and state
rests with various French Cabinets, the mem
bers of which pursued an anti-religious policy.
including the suppression of the congregations
and of religious instruction in the schools.
The book next takes up the refutation of the
accusation that separation was rendered tnevi-
table by the attitude Of the Church. 1t says that
this charge was made because French states
men, knowing that the people of France had no
desire for separation, wished to disclaim respon-
sbiity for consequences which would be equally
serious for France and for the Church.
Then follow arguments TO show the baseless-
ness of the charges brought against the Church
of acting contrary to the interests of the
public
The appendix deals in the main with the
French protectorate over Catholics in the Far
East, and the argument is advanced that al
tional treaties. it must depend the will of the
Vatican.

cars filled with people crossed the superior-st.
viaduct tonight in safety, although the glass In
the cars was broken by heat and the passengers
