tract with Elisha II. James for the
construction Of terminal market in

Henry Barrett Crosby for similar

architect $55, 900 on the approval OF
preliminary plans" says President
Curran, 'snd 100000 similarly to
the Brooklyn architect. but eventu-
ally each architect will receive Dor
cent. OF the cost OF construction This
percentage will be we'll over $1,000 900.
THE right way is to install a small
but sufficient staff in the Depart

budgetary account of $3.50 for re-

the Home for the Aged and Infirm

Senate after references had been
made to the State Senate in 1868 con-
demning President Lincoln for his
emancipation of the slaves; after it
had been stated that the State Of New

great cause, and after the Anti-Sa-
loon League had been excoriated for
it's lobbyism in antagonism to a move

SO that the Attorney General could

Court. 1t was the most tense night
in the Senate within quarter of a
century.
With galleries jammed as never
before with men and women and the
floors of the chamber packed to a
point Of suffocation the debate surged
along until Senator Simpson, from
Hudson, brought forth tumultuous ap
plause by declaring that it was up
to the Legislature to act on the con-
current powers vested in it on the
liquor question by the Volstcad act.

ing on Article 10.
The coup of the irreconcilables in
thus bringing the treaty fight to a
truce was a virtual repition Of the
move by which, several weeks ago
they ended the bipartisan compromise
negotiations by bringing pressure to
bear on the Republican leaders when
an agreement seemed imminent. Hold
ing the balance of power, their votes
have to be counted on by the Republi-
cans to adopt any of the proposed
reservations, and in addition they are
understood to have pointed out that if
their counscls were disregarded, they
easily could talk the treaty over into
the campaign under the senate's rule
of unlimited debate.
In fact n program of extensive de-
bate already had been inaugurated by
the irreconcilables, members of the
group having held the floor several
hours each day during last weeks ses-
sions. Under today's agreement they
are expected not only to discontinue
that program but to vote with the Re-
publicans as they did last session in
adopting reservations.

treaty during today's session which
