SORROW IT ALBANY.

mitteCS to attend Funeral.
[Ry Teleg.aph 70 rhe TrIbune. ]

Albany. Feb. 12.-Political differences were
forgotten tonight when word Of Mr.. Hlgginss
death was received here, and Democrat and Re-
publican alike spoke in terms of warmest re-
gard of the man and the official Men who had
SERVED at his side for years in the Senate and
sat under him the presiding officer OF that
body recalled his splendid and unhagging atten-
ton to official duty. Even those who had not
agreed with him on questions of policy tonight
gave him credit for a record as Governor OF high
achievement and untarnished reputation.
The Legislature tomorrow will attend to a few
affairs of routine, make fitting arrangements in
connection with the funeral of the Ex-Governor
and adjourn until next Monday night 1t Is
probable that a committee from each House will
be chosen to represent the Legislature officially
the funeral, instead of the entire Legislature
attending. Probably those Senators who served
with Mr.. Higgins and a corresponding number of
the senior Assembiymen will be selected.

GOV. HUGHES IN BOSTON.
Discusses State Rights and Federal
POUeTS.

Boston, Feb. 12.-Governor Charles Z. Hughes Of
New York was the principal speaker at the annual
banquet of the AIiddlcsex club which met mt the
Hotel Brunswick this evening in observance Of
the birthday Abraham Lincoln The other
speakers were Congressman Julius Kahn, of San
Francisco; Governor Curtis Guild. jr. Of Massa-
chusetts. and w. II. McElroy Of New York Ex-
Governor John l.. Bates presided, and over three
hundred members attended.
Governor Hughes spoke upon the question of
state rights connected with the subject of fed
eral powers. and declared the need Of increased
efficiency in state governments and also of an i'm
provement in the character Of public servants.
Governor Hughes said:
AS the activities Of government increase with the
growth Of population, and the necessity of ade-
quately protecting the public interest leads a
larger exercise of the governmental functions. the
problem of administration becomes difficult
and the Importance of wise segregation of effort
becomes more manifest. In discussing questions
activity confusion is frequently caused by falling
sharply to distinguish between a wider exercise OF
existing federal powers and the comforting the
federal government of powers reserved to the
states The relation of the states the national
government, far the Issue of state rights Is
concerned has been settled
If II should appear that the powers OF the state
are inadequate 70 deal with subject hitherto re-
tanned in their keeping and that the interests Of
the people, whole, inpeTativeIy demand the
assumption OF power by the federal government
the whole people will provide for the assumption
OF that power. But before that question 10 deter
mined It Is important that thsrs should be. and

Kingston has practically ceased; only coal
and rubbish are now burning. The district
burned comprises a triangular area be-
tween the parade gardens, the foot Of Duke
street and Princess street. The parish
church forms the apex of this triangle,
which comprises about one-thirtieth part
of the town. The wharves burned are the
George e. Branday, Malabre, Haggart,
Lyons. Solomon's demercado, Henriques
and one, not both, of the Royal Mail Steam
Packet company's wharves. The burned
area Is being cleared slowly, owing to the
indisposition of the population to labor at
double the usual wages. There are few
bodies still covered with ruins. The burials
to noon this day comprise 343. The per-
sons admitted to hospitals in Kingston
total 40, excluding some sixty cases sent
to Spanish Town from Kingston for treat
ment.
THE population generally is encamped on
the parade grounds, the race course and
the open spaces. The usual provision shops
are in the burned area and there is con-
siderable difficulty in buying provisions.
am arranging for sales temporarily, and
for the transfer of persons to other par
ishes. There was some pilfering last night
from the deserted shops. The population
is WOnuefIully patent, out ustleSb.

Great assistance has been given by Sir
Alfred Jones, who converted the steamer
Port Kingston into a temporary hospital
and refuge; by doctors and firemen from
Spanish Town and by the commander of
the troops. who supplied men to assist in
keeping order and 10 patrol.
The direct line cable is broken three
miles of the coast: both the telegraph
Offices are burned"
John Henniker Heaton, NJ. p, has tele-
graphed in a vivid account of the earth
quake, adding, however, no fresh details
to the information already at hand. He
quotes Sir Alfred Jones as saying that
the catastrophe will not AFFECT the pros
perity OF the island, because the products
of the country have not been interfered
with to the slightest degree. The houses
destroyed were mostly old and of small
value.
