DEAD DUCKS RESURRECTED
AppOrtiOnment of Legislative Dis
triets in New York Over
thrown in Court.

Albany, n. Y. April 3-The entire an
pOrtiOnment Of legislative districts made
by the last New York legislature is over
thrown ir a decision handed down TODAY
by the court Of appeals. The court re-
verses the judgments of the courts be-
low. which have sustained the act The
decision does not affect the personnel or
invalidate the acts of the present Iegjs-
lature. but the political relations and
alignments in every part OF the state
made to suit the new conditions have
been thrown into confusion: formerly in
fluential politicians who were supposed
to have been killed politically by last
years appOrtionment return to the field
of influence. FarSeeing politicians here
say that it Is impossible 10 calculate the.
consequences OF the decision which thew
describe as a political earthQualke5'
1t is generally believed here tonight that
the decision may prolOng throughout Nav
and perhaps into June the session OF the
legislature, because of the necessity of
enacting a new appoTtiOument, the court
holding that unless this IS done the next
election for members Of either house
must be held under the apportiOnment laid
down in the constitution of 1895, which the
reapportionment act of 1906 was intended
to supersede

NEW oRK/coMMENT.
Books of National Republican Com
mfttee Should Be Opened.

New York, April S.-The publication Of
the Harriman-Webster and Roosevelt
Sherman-H Hartman correspondence was
very widely discussed in financial and
political circles today. The statement
given out by Mr.. Hartman last night was
eagerly read, especially in Wall street.
llr. Hartman was said today TO be in
consultation with several of his friends,
presumably with a view TO defining his
future attitude and course should the
president make a rejoinder TO his state
ment of last night
Not the least interesting portion of Mr..
Esrriman's presentation Of his side of the
controversy was his statement that he
could not withdraw anything said IN the
letter TO Mr.. Webster, in which he de-
clared that it was at the presidents solicit
tation that he raised $4,000 for the use
OF the campaign in New York state in 1904
and that the president agreed, eff found
necessary" TO appoint Senator Depew to
the enthusiastically to France. 1t was de-
clared in banking circles that light could
be shed on the question of campaign con-
tributiOns in 1904 Il the books of the ma
uonal Republican committee were thrown
open. Harry S. New Of Indiana is now
acting chairman of the committee.

Goldfield. New. April SIN spite of
the optimistic stories appearing in the
local journals and the positive an
nOuncements that the regularly ap-
pointed committee from the miners
union had been in conference with the
executive committee of the Business
Mems and Mine OOwners' association,
and further that the peace negotiations
would terminate satisfactorily, The
Herald correspondent has it from the
very highest source that there have
been no jOins meetings today. and while
a better feeling is prevalent nothing
which might mark any particular
change in the situation has come to
pass during the day or evening.
Stock Brokers' Rumor.
T-S wild rumOrs which started the
market soaring tonight are said by the
executive committee to have had a be-
ginning in the Office of a local broker,
who is also said to have greatly profit
ted by the advances in all stocks made
on the local boards tonight.
1t is true that the miners committee
waited on the mine owners committee
at the MOntezuma club tonight. Upon
their arrival they stated that they had
come in response to an invitation. but
they were not closeted for d period last
ing over ten minutes.

Stock Brokers' Rumor.
Miners Were Hoaxed.

During the brief conference it was
discovered that the invitation was most
mysterious, that the mine owners COM
mittee had not sent for them. and that
they were the victims of somebody who
was apparently jobbing stock. The
meeting was a most cordial one, and
both sides expressed a desire to meet
in the very near future in order to
agree upon a final settlement. All in
all, the situation looks much better. as
both sides are anxious and willing to
come to an agreement, but from such
authorities as the miners committee,
as Well as Ex-Governor Thomas of
Colorado, Senator George S. Nixon and

posing faction it has been learned that
