MR.. HIGGINSS ECONOMY,
Expenditure for Supplemental Last
of Employees Not FaUored.
IBr TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIsUNE,l

Albany. Jan. lS.-There is some alarm among
the members OF the legislature over Governor
Higgtns's plans for economy. 1t has been
learned that the Governor has decided not TO
countenance this year the usual expenditure for
what is known as the supplemental list OF legis-
lative employees. This list usually carries about
two hundred minor employees at an average Of
about So q day. Many Of them do not find it
necessary 70 visit Albany in the course Of the
legislative session, and the places are valued
chiefly because they enable members OF the
legislature 10 satisfy constituents in search OF
appointments.
Il is intimated also that the Governor is pre-
pairing 10 curtail other legislative perquisites
His long legislative experience has made him ia
miiar with what legislative expenditures are
necessary and what are not necessary.

his intention 70 visit New York City this week

TRAPPING KILLED AUNT
General Clayton Explains Origin OF
Feud zCith arkansas Governor.
[From The Tribune Bureau. ]

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington, Nov. 21.-President Roosevelt had
a long talk over Arkansas politics this morning
with General Powell Clayton ex-Ambassador to
Mexico. General Clayton was one of the Presi-
dents hosts when he recently visited Little
Rock. The refusal of Governor Jefferson Davis
to partake of luncheon with the President on
that occasion because General Clayton
present created something of a local sensation
at the time, and was the subject of considerable
merriment in the Presidents office this morning.
Governor Davis says that 1 murdered his
aunt said General Clayton. II was in COM
mand of the militia during the Ku Klux days in
Arkansas and day number of my boys
happened to pass by her house when she was i'll
She died as the result of the Illness or the fright
which the noise of marching feet caused, and
ever since then the Governor has been my
avowed enemy. was sorry indeed when first
learned of the good lady'S death. but l do not
how any blame can be placed at my door.
Governor Davis is making tremendous fight
to get into the Senate and for a time it looked
as though he would succeed in beating Berry.
But now the decent people of the State seem to
have all walked up to a realization of the Gov
ernorS true character, and think that Senator
Berry will whip him.
when the Governor made that exhibition of
himself at Little Rock, both in his speech favor
ing lynching and his grandstand play about the
luncheon, he probably little capital among
a certain class of people in Arkansas. I think it
is only fair to the decent people of the State 10
say, however that his following is made up
mostly of the one galluS' crowd. Although
there is not immediate hope of Republican su-
premacy in Arkansas are making great
gains at every election. Last fall cut the
Democratic majority down from 10000 to 1000,
which is a pretty good showing for one of the
States of the Solid South. p"
General Clayton has made his home in Wash
ington with his daughter and expects to remain
here all winter, with the possible exception of i
month or six weeks, which he contemplates
spending in Cuba.
