Attacks Lieutenant Governor Sexton
In the Senate Chamber.

ABOUT GREATER NEW YORK.

 

Saxton Had Written an Opinion. Adverse
to the Measure to, Dr. Storrs—A
Vote of Censure Moved—The
Lieutenant Governor’s Reply.

ALBANY, March'12.——Senator Lexow

reached the senate chamber in an angry
mood today. He had read the correspond.
ence between Lieutenant Governor Sax-
ton and the Rev. Dr. Storrs on greater
New York and did not like it. He rose to

a question of privilege and started ill to ,

express his opinion of the lieutenant gov- §
ernor’s position in opposition to imme- : “'55: however, one other vote, ML Arm-
diate consolidation. It was suggested that ' strong, Whmh' While against the bl“ in

it would be proper for the- senator from
Nyack to wait until LielltcnantrGoverno'r
Saxton was in the chair and could hear
himself denounced.

The Lexow-Saxtcn tilt began with the
rising of Senator Lexow to a question of

: personal privilege. He said: “I see in the
r morning papers 21 letter, purporting tc

havebeen written by the lieutenant gov-
ernor of the state, in which reference is
made to a certain piece of legislation in
Which I am much interested. The‘ques—
tion of privilege I state is whether the
presiding officer of this body has any right

. to interfere with or seek to influence by

letter or otherwise legislation pending
which he in his position as lieutenant gov-
ernor will have to deal with. This article
or letter is a matter of great surprise to
me because I know that up to within a

. few days at least the lieutenant governor

has been in favor of the bill be now is re-
ported as opposing.” .

’ Senator McCarren objected. to the dis-
cussion as out of order and asked if Sen~
ator Lexow was speaking to a question 'Of
personal privilege and where it came in.

The lieutenant governor replied: “The
chair does not see where it constitutes a
question of personal privilege. It is a
most extraordinary thing if the chair has
no right as a citizen to express his opinion
of any measure or matter affecting the in-
terests or welfare of the state. I do not
see clearly that it is a question of personal
privilege, although the senator has a per-
fect right to move a vote of censure.”

Senator \Vray Angry.

Senator Wray broke in in an angry
“The senator from the Twenty-
third (Lexow) has no greater interest in
this measure than any other senator
around this circle,” he said. “He cannot
arrogate to himself all the interest in this
bill nor make it a matter of personal priv-
ilege. He arrogates too much to himself
when he does it.”

Senator Pavey then took it up. “I
think this is something,” he said, “in
which we all should have a say, and for
the purpose of making it general I move
a vote of censure upon the chair for ex-
pressing an opinion upon pending legisla-
tion. ”

Half a dozen senators at once jumped to
their feet to oppose this. Senator Ells-
worth secured .the floor and declared he
did not think the records of the senate
should contain any such motion or action.
Senator Lexow, who had been impatiently
leaning on his desk all this time, now
broke in with: “Point of order, Mr. Presi-

dent. I only abandoned the floor - to perm
Emit a question, not to admit a motion to

censure or anything like it. I do not
wish it.”

“The point of order is well taken, ”
ruled the lieutenant governor.

“I withdraw my motion,” said Senator
Pavey.

Senator Lexow went on:

“The senator from the Twenty-third
thinks too highly of the presiding oflicer
of this senate to make such a motion.
But I must here state that I resent this
interference of the lieutenant governor
with a measure which he knows and I
know has had for two years his hearty
support. I know of no man who has been
more loyal in his support of this bill. But
I deem this meddling now with legislation
and the casting into the scale against the
bill the influence of his high position are
unseeming and unwarranted.”

Lieutenant Governor Saxtcn replied,
“The senator has a perfect right to assail
the chair in any way he sees fit, knowing
that the chair has no right to reply or say
anything.”

Lieutenant Governor Saxton’s Reply.

Senator Ellsworth, again secured the
floor and asked that unanimous consent
for the president to speak be given. It was
done, and Lieutenant Governor Sexton
began. saying:

“The chair has not within the past two
months had any conversation with the
senator from the Twenty-third regarding
the measure. The chair last year, had he
been on the floor, would have supported
the bill because he then believed the peo-
ple of Brooklyn were in favor of it. Dur-
ing the last 60 days, however, the chair
has had brought to his attention many
facts which have led him to reconsider his
previous opinion and believe that it would
now be a very serious miStake for this leg-
islature and for the Republican party to
pass this bill as it stands. The chair has
not attempted in any way to influence leg-
islation on this or any other question or
to lobby in any manner against this bill.
The chair has supposed, now supposes and
will continue to suppose that the lieuten~
ant governor of this state does not by ac

,. cepting election to the office abrogate his

rights and privileges and duties as a citi-
zen; that he has not and does not resign
necessarily the privilege to hold and to ex-
press opinion, view or thoughts he may
have on matters that affect or interest any
and all citizens of'the state. The letter

.which the lieutenant governor wrote to

the doctor expressed his private convic-
tions at the present time on the subject
and was a reply to a letter written by the
prominent and estimable citizen.”

“In what way ' does the bill of today
differ from that of last year?” asked Mr.
Lexow. ' -

“Not in the slightest manner, I believe.
My opinion of it, however, has changed,”
replied the lieutenant governor. ,

“I sincerely hope no attempt will be
made to read the lieutenant governor out
of the party because he has had the temer-
ity to haveviews and the courage to ex-
press his convictions, ” said Senator chge-
shall. v

Text .of Their Report on the Mach
Discussed Rallies ~Bill.

REASONS FOR OPPOSITION.

A Number of Emphutic Objections Cited
to What A.“ Terined “Serious and
Fatal Defects," Which Are

Thereinnftei‘ Enumerated.

 

 

ALBANY, March 12,—The excitement
over the progress of the excise tax law yes-
terday was continued today, and the spec—
ulation over the rumors that the bill can
be beaten in the assembly was plentiful.
The principal cause for what appears to-
day to be a purely unfounded rumor was
that there were only 74 votes in the caucus
to make the bill a party measure. There

caucus, will be for it on the floor, and
seven absontecs, who left their pledges for
the bill. This gives the hill 8:3 voles. It
requires but 76 to pass it.

The members of the committee on ex-
cise, headed by Mr. Allds, received notices
of a meeting to take action on the bill as
soon as received from the senate.

Tile Minority Report.

Following is the minority report Of the
assembly excise committee on the Raincs
bill, submitted today:

To the Assembly of the State of New York:

The undersigned members ofthe excise com-
mittee beg leave to make the following ad-
verse report on senate bill No. 791, commonly
known as the Raines bill:

We oppose the passage of the Raines bill be-
cause it represents an arbitrary attempt to
revolutionize the excise system of this state,
prompted solely by the motives of partisan ag-
grandizement. There has been no agitation
on the subject of excise legislation, with the
exception of the Sunday closing feature, to
warrant the enactment of a general excise
law. No demand for such a law has been made
from any source or promised in any party
platform. To legislate on so vital and difficult
a problem without having afforded the voters
an opportunity to consider and pass upon it
in a regular campaign is subversive of the
fundamental theory of popular government
and an indefensible act of political usurpation.

We oppose the passage of the Rallies bill be-
cause we regard it as an incongruous legisla-
tive makeshift. While it pretends to be a meas-
ure for the regulation of the liquor traffic, it
is really designed for increasing the state rev-
enues. and its. provisions are totally inconsist-
ent with the sound principles both of taxation
and of regulation.

We oppose the passage of the Raines bill be-
cause it ignores the only logical basis upon
which the legislative control of the liquor
business can be sustained—namely, as the le-
gitimate exercise of the police power of the
state to restrict the abuses of a dangerous
traflic. This bill allows the unlimited multi-
plication of saloons, restrained only by a per-
son‘s ability to pay the liquor tax. It will
open wide the doors of dives and other vicious
resorts. It is not a measurefiinteuded to pro-
mote temperance, but is rather designed in
the interests of “free rum.”

We oppose the passage of the Raines bill be-
cause it is an unscrupulous scheme to rob the
cities of their legitimate excise revenues in
punishment of their Democratic predilections:
and, on the other hand, to reward and sub-
sidize the rural communities for their con-
tinued loyalty to the Republican party.

We oppose the passage of the Raines bill be-
cause it drags the liquor dealer deeper than
ever into politics by making him dependent
upon the mercy of a state excise commissioner
with arbitrary and excessive powers, assisted
by an army of confidential agents or. spies, to
whom unrestricted opportunities for pecuniary
and political blackmail are offered under the
proposed law.

We oppose the passage of the Raines bill be-
cause it substitutes a centralized state despot-
ism in place of local self government. It
strikes a. deadly blow at the principles of home
rule and tends to destroy those safeguards
against the centralization of authority that
have been found necessary during a century’s
experience to preserve the integrity of our
free institutions.

We oppose the passage of the RaineObill for
its many other serious and fatal defects. among
which we desire to enumerate the following:

It establishes an arbitrary classification of
cities, inconsistent with the plan and purpose
of the new state constitution.

It violates the civil service requirements of
the constitution by the pretense of making the
appointees of the state excise commissioner
his confidential agents. .

It creates a vast horde of miscellaneous office-
holders and involves the expenditure of $25;
000 annually for salaries.

It disturbs and confuses existing arrange-
ments in every municipality of this state with
reference to their various pension and chari-
table funds that have hitherto depended upon
excise revenues for their maintenance.

It establishes a high license system, requir-
ing the increased tax to be paid by the mass of
consumers, either through increased prices or
the inferior quality of the beverages consumed.

It falls to discriminate between distilled and
fermented liquors, though the cause of true
temperance can be readily promoted by im-
posing a smaller tax upon the latter, as con-
ceded'by all scientific students of the excise
problem.

It grants local option to towns and refuses
a similar right to cities, and absolutely denies
to the latter a reasonably restricted Sunday
selling privilege.

It prohibits restaurant keepers from serv-
ing drink with meals on Sunday, and likewise
denies to them, as well as to small family ho-
tels. the right to serve wines to their guests
at a lower license fee than that charged to reg-
ular saloons. -

It makes no provisions for night licenses for
social resorts where balls, banquets and an-
nual receptions. are held by all kinds of socie-
ties and organizations, and thus interferes
with an indispensable feature of the social life
of our cities. .

It places all private clubs and associaltions
on the same level with liquor saloons, destroy-
ing the privacy of their members, subjecting
them to police surveillance and virtually clos-
ing them up on the- Sabbath day.

We desire finally to enter our solemn protest
against the manner in which the Raines bill
has been forced upon the calendar of this
house. The customary rules of legislature pro-
cedure have been indecently violated to evade
a fair consideration of this measure by the ex-
cise committee of the assembly. As a matter
of fact, it has not been considered in execu-
tive session at all; Many of the members have
scarcely had an opportunity to read the bill in
its amended form. It has been foisted upon
our committee—as upon the senate and as it
will be upon the assembly—by the autocratic
interference of a partisan dictatorship for
which we find no warrant either in the statutes
or the constitution of our state.

on the Political Stage— Routine 'vVOI‘l;
In House—Proposed Depart-
ment of Commerce.

WASHINGTON, March l2.—-A downpour
of sleet did not deter the crowds from
coming to the capitol today and taking
possession of the senate galleries, for the
Cuban question seems to gather impetus
and excite new interest as it proceeds. with
a corresponding increase in public atten-
tion. The chamber was so dark and
gloomy that he gas was lighted, giving
the aspect of an animated night session to
the midday proceedings.

'Mr. Allen (Pcp., Nell.) offered the first
development as t0_.Cuba in the form of a
joint resolution authorizing and request-
ing the president to make a thorough and
rigid investigation into the present state

‘ of war in Cuba, whether it is being con-
ducted in accordance with the rules of civ-
ilized warfare. whether extreme cruelties
are being practiced by either side, particu-
larly toward noncombatants, and appro-

able for the purposes of the president’s in:
vestigation.

Mr. Allen did not press for immediate
action, and without debate it went to the
committee on foreign relations.

Mr. Hoar was tlieli recognized on his
resolution postponing the entire Cuban
question until April 6 and directing the
committee on foreign relations to make
an inquiry in the meantime.

He said that at his time of life he did

.pathy for a. people struggling for liberty
was necessary. He had favored the reso-
lution of Mr. Cameron proposing the good
Offices of the president toward securing the
independence of Cuba. But he had no
sympathy for that class of quarrelsome
people, with their constant querulcus and
grasshopper chirp. They caused the agi-
tations of Europe as well as of this coun
try. Mr. Hoar quoted the influence Of
this element in continuing animosities be-
tween Great Britain and Russia. The
senator said his course was taken with ev-
ery feeling of respect for the chairman of
the committee on foreign relations (Sher-
man). Turning to the latter, Mr. Hoar

ous public character on the political stage
of this continent today. I sometimes
differed with him, but always with pro-
found respect for him.”

At 2 o’clock Senator Hoar, without fin
ishing his speech, asked that the resoluo
tion go over without prejudice, Mr. Platt
and others desiring to further debate it.
Mr. Morgan objected, and under the rule
the resolution went to the calendar, from
which it cannOt be taken except by a vote
of the senate. The consideration of the
unfinished business, the Du Pont election
case, was then resumed. ' '

In the House.

In the house today a resolution intro-
duced by Mr. Cummings (Dem., N. Y.)
was adopted calling on the secretary of
the treasury for information in regard to
the purchase of blanks for pennies and
nickels by the Philadelphia mint. _ H

A bill for the relief of George H. Lott
of Mississippi involving $148 was passed.

Bills were also passed to authorize the
construction of a bridge connecting Little
Rock and Argenta, Ark.; granting right
of way to the Rock Island, Muscatine and
Southwestern railway for a bridge over the
Illinois and Mississippi canal; payment of
a claim of William H. Mahoney for $500;
authorizing the construction of a bridge
over the Tennessee river at Knoxville.

A bill was also passed directing the
place and time of holding terms of United
States district and circuit courts in South
Dakota.

The consideration of the postofl‘ice ap-
propriation bill was then resumed, On
motion of Mr. Bromwell an amendment
was adopted allowing the postmaster gen-
eral to use $35,000 for transmission of
mail by pneumatic tubes. .

Mr. Loud took the floor in defense of
his committee, and, after reading from the
record of yesterday the remarks made by
Mr. Pickler of South Dakota, said that
the members of his committee could not
be overridden by their chairman.

For a. Department of Commerce.

WASHINGTON, March 1.2. —A bill by Sen-
ator Frye (Rep., Me.) provides for the cre-
ation of a department of commerce and
manufactures and the transfer to this dc-
partment from the treasury of the life
‘ saving service, the lighthouse board, the
marine hospital service, the bureau of
steamboat inspection, the bureau of navi-
gation, the coast and geodetic survey and
the bureau of statistics. with the bureau
of statistics of the state department, the
two bureaus of statistics to be consolidated
into one. The consular service is also to
be transferred from the jurisdiction of the
state department to the proposed new de-
partment. It is provided that the depart-
ment shall have general jurisdiction over
the foreign and internal commerce of the
United States. except in so far as relates
to the collection of the revenue and the
administration of the customs and inter-
nal revenue laws. It is also to have juris-
diction over all matters relating to the
manufacturing interests of the United

markets for the same and the increase of
trade and trade facilities with foreign
countries. The new secretary is also to
perform all the duties now incumbent
~ upon the secretary of the treasury in rela-
tion to the trade and commerce of the
United States, whether upon land or
water. The bill is in the line of the rec-
ommendation of the national board of
trade, .and it is supposed‘ that it will re-
ceive the general support of the trade and
manufacturing interests.

Theory Thatlililss Sullivan Was a Victim
of lilistakcn Identify Discarded, as
\Vell as the One‘fi'lzicll Tend-

ed to Implicnte Cole.

PATERSON, Mardl l2.-—Aftcr a week’s

work on the Sullivan mu 2'del' Chief Graul
admitted today that the police are in prac-
tically the same position as they. were on
the morning after the murder was discov-
cred. The high water mark in the excite-
ment has been reached, and agtation over
the affair in this city has noticeably de-
creased. The polico have non-however,
relaxed in their activity. The few clews
which have presented themselves have
been carefully followed up and abandoned
when found to be worthless.
' Captain Graul made a careful investiga-
tiop of the story that Miss Sullivan had
been killed ‘by an (ax-convict, Arthur H.
Kreyssig, who supposed that the dead
woman was his wife. It was said that
Kreyssig had written a. letter to his wife,
from Whom he has been separated, threat-
ening to kill her unless she returned to
live with hiln. Kreyssig recently returned
to this city after an absence of three years
and secured employment at a saloon on
Ranlapo avenue. ,

He had not bothered his wife nor sent
any letters to her. Mrs. Kreyssig said to-
day that there was no truth in the publish-
ed sttitemcnt that she had received a
threatening letter from her husband, and
also denied that there was any bitter feel-
ings between them sufficient to cause her
husband to strike her.

On last Wednesday night she rode in a
trolley car from her home in Paterson
avenue, Totowa, to Park avenue and Vree-
land street, and returned in the same
way. Vrceland street is at least half a
mile from Eighteenth street and Park aye-
nue, where Miss Sullivan was murdered,
and it is not likely that any one wishing
to attack Mrs. Kreyssig would have laid
in wait for her at that point.

. Chief Graul agrees with Thomas Sulli-
van, the father of the dead girl, in think-
ing that Miss Sullivan was assaulted
twice. once perhaps a few blocks away,
and that her assailant. might have feared
that she had recognized lliln and then do-
cided to attack her again. This theory
would supposethat the coupling pin used
was the one which the party of boys had
been playing with and left where the mur-
derer happened upon it when looking for
a weapon.

Cole Not the Guilty Man.

Chief Graul has practically given up the
attempt to connect Nicholas Cole with the
murder.

Several persons have corroborated Cole’s
statementthat he' was in Thomas Staf-
ford’s saloon, corner of Mill and Elm
streets, at the time when the crime was
committed. Cole is now in jail, having
been committed by Recorder Senior for 30
days for disorderly conduct. His lawyer,
William Rysdyk, it is said, will apply to
Supreme Court Judge Dixon, in Jersey
City, for Cole’s release on awrit of habeas
corpus. -

Itis probable that since Cole has satis-
factorily . explained his movements on
Wednesday night Recorder Senior will dis-
charge him cn the disorderly conduct
,charge, which was made by the police
merely to prevent his release on bail on
the charge of assault and battery on Miss
VauRiper.

The city council passed an ordinance
permitting the mayor and police commit-
tee to offer a reward as large as $5,000 for
the arrest of Miss Sullivan’s murderer.
The police committee will, it is confidently
expected, offer a reward of the maximum
amount. With the rewards already offered
theisung sum of $6. 500 awaits the person
who succeeds in running down the mur-
derer of Miss Sullivan.

There are yet some citizens who believe
that the young woman Was not murdered,
but struck by a trolley car. Alderman
Maguire thinks that the reward offered
would be paid to any one who can prove
that such was the case. '
