CRTTIoTSES JAMESTOWN TRrF.
Democratic Leader Does Not Think State Should Pay.

Hartford, April M.-Senator Dono- van indulged in sharp criticism of the excursion of state officers and legisla- tors to Jamestown in the senate to- day, when motion was made to send large number of matters started for action to the foot of the calendar to await the return of some senators. Senator Judson presided during the first half of the session and was re- placed by Senator Brooks.
 Senator Donovan said 1t was to isSks regretted that so many members of the general assembly had goneA away on pleasure and neglected their u. ties. Tt is a serious thing 70 do,'' said he. and they should take the consequent ces (referring to the wish of several to have action delayed on bills until their return.) There is nothing in the constitution or the statutes which gives the members the right to leave the state or to incur expense such as will be incurred by the party The governor and the others have no right to spend a single dollar of the states money in this way' He opposed sending the bills to the foot of the cal endar.
 Senator Judson called the senator's attention to his inconsistency in hav- ing voted to send the delegation. Sem ator Donovan at once replied that no vote on the matter was ever taken. "A. neary senator whispered to the sena- tor and MT. Donovan said that he had just been told that the trip to James, town was for the states good. ''I don't believe so, but let's hope so; said he.

 Themselves Up in PaIntia1 Churches.
 Boston, April 24.-New York clergy men were criticized to-day by Rev. Dr. Thomas Law of London, secretary of the Free Church Council of England and wales in an address before the Boston evangelical alliance. Rev. Dr. Law said:
 What is happening in New York? I find that the ministers there are shut ting themselves up in palatial churches and do no go down among the masses that ought to be reached,
 In England we are shutting up thou sands of public houses and brothels. One mission has closed up 500 in five years. This has all been done with no aid from conventions with academic talk, the passing of resolutions and ap- pointing of committees.
 What we have done in England you can do here"

N r. TEACHERS SALARY BILL.
Will Pass, But May Strike Rock in
 Mayors Veto.

Albany, April 24.-The reporting of the Teachers Salary bill by the as- sembly cities committee to-day prac- tically insures the passage of this measure. It will be possible for the rules committee to block it, but this action is not within the probabilities. The entire credit for changing situ- ation which seemed hopeless belongs to Senator Horace White, who wrestled with the cities committee long and hard yesterday. The hope of the op- ponents of the bill now lies in so de- laying It's actual passage that there will not be left time enough to pass it over the certain veto Of Mayor Mo Clellan. The mayor will have fifteen days in which to make up his mind on the matter and If. the measure is not passed until next week, 1t may die in transit.
