The lirst clause of the above is quoted as an official announcement that he will Mot be a Candidate for a third term. The governor calls upon the legisla-ture to provide for the enumeration of tho people of the state, that a fair and just apportionment may follow in due time. The governor Denounce tha Election Kill and says the United States senate is ig. noring pressing legislative business in order to push through this "revolution-ary measure." Ho urges the legislature by "resolution or otherw ise as may seem best, to express so emphatically its con-demnation of the proposed legislation that The United Voice of the New York representatives rn congress may be secured to avert from the state and country the evil effects of so unwise a law."

Schotne to Wltlea and lierp-- tho Klver lln to a.'n Saw Vork and Albany. Ai.Rany, N. V., Jan. fl Special to Thk Times. A coinniission of army officers, in accordance with an act of congress, met today at the city hall, to five a public hearing in relation to the feasibility of deepening the channel of the Upper Hudson. Tho terms of the act make it the duty of the commission to thoroughly examine the obstructions to navigation in the Hudson river be-tween New York city and the state dam at Troy, and report a project and estimate, the cost of widening said river between New York city ami the state datu at Troy for tile navigation of steam vessels drawing twenty feet of water, and also a separate estimate of the expense of improving the river be-tween New York and the state dam. to such an extent as to secure a navigable channel twelve feet deep at mean low water. The inquiry today was directed to ascertaining the cost value of the pro-posed improvement to the commerce of the state. Mayor James H. Manning of this city who ww the first ollioial ex-amined by the commission, maintained that the immediate deepening of the Hudson river is essential to the devel-opment of the great system of water-ways so important to the Empire state, including the great lakes, the Erie. Os-wego and Champlain canals and Hud-son river. For some years t he state has expended annually from $20,000 to $50,000 on the navigation of the upper Hudson but he thought the time hail now come for tho federal government to improve permanently and substan-tially the channel, as it has done in the case of the Mississippi, which has but one-thir- of the traffic of the Hudson. The subject, he claimed, was one of great importance, not only to the state of Now York, but also to the great ag-ricultural states of the west. A com-munication was read from Mayor Grant of New York, expressing his earnest approval of the project. W ASlllXi.TiiX. The Senate Kerffennt - at-arn- m Again Spends an Hour Chas-ing a Quorum.

For weeks, he said, a bill had been pending before the senate, the importance of which he did not under-rate- , and the benevolent purpose of which he did not question. Yesterday, with the full knowledge of tho critiscism his action would bring, with the full conscious-ness, however, that he was in the dis-charge of his duty, as he saw it, ho had voted to lay that bill aside and take up the present measure. .1 mm.

Tlan of I'nttlug tha tha Agencies In tha Hands of Army Officer.. In Camp, near Wounded Kr.ee, S.D., Jan. 6. Another engagement took place at that place yesterday morning. A detachment of thirty men was sent out from the camp to meet a wagon train with supplies for the camp, and when- - ten miles out the wagons were found besieged by a band of a hundred Indians. On seeing the troops ap-proaching, the redskins scattered, but immediately returned and made an at-- I tack on finding how small was the num- - I berof men in the detachment. A courier I was sent back to camp for reinforce- - ments, but in the meantime an inces- - sant lire was kept up on both sides, re sulting in the wounding of one soldier and the killing and wounding of several Indians. The exact number has not been ascertained, as tho reds carried their dying and w ounded away. About three hours after the courier's depar-ture tha troops were seen coming at full gallop to the rescue. The Indians scattered in all directions and the wagon was escorted to the camp safely. northwest and wild tribes in Indian territory. Sitting Bull would have been the head and the move was to be made in the spring. They expected to strike west to where the ghost delusion originated in Nevada. General Seholield received a telegram from (ieneral Miles at Fine Kidge dated January 5th, as follows: "In accord-ance with your telegram and the. presi-dent's order. I have detailed a board of ollicers consisting of Colonel Carr of the Sixth cavalry, Major Kent of tho Fourth infatry and Captain Baldwin of the Fifth infantry, to investigate tho atl'air of Wounded Knee, is this in conformity with tho present's direction and does ho direct that it consult a court of iuquiry with power to take testimony under oath? At I'lno KItlK.. ' Fin k Kipok Agency, S. P., via Rush-vilio- , Jan. 6. ''The announcement of the suspension of (ien. Forsythe came like a Hash and creates amazement in some minds. The official mouths are closed to all inquiries on the subject. It will probably be-come known to the general public, however, later on. The unfor-tunate disposition of troops, making it possible for them to do cross firing with the result or Killing One Another, constitutes a part and possibly the greater part of the founda-tion for (ieneral Forsytbe's suspension. The seriousness of the situation hero is increasing. Short Bull, tho leading hostile chief, who has distinguished himself all along during this trouble, never for a moment considering over-tures looking to an amicable settlement but who has steadily Stuck to tha Bad I.anil. and has now assumed command of the great body of hostiles, last night told our spy tliiit ho would take this agency if it took every warrior he had. The half-breed- s here have been informed by friends and relatives, whom some of them have among the hostiles, that they had better move their families a long distance from the agency, as a great raid and massacre was certain. The half-breed- s are showing us w hat they think of this information by getting then1 families out. of here with a rush. The Government herder, John Dwycr. and lssuo Clerk l'ugh, have both discovered through their Indian friends of years standing that a raid and massacre has been fully decided upon and maturely planned. General Mile9 is thoroughly conversant with ail these facts, and himself says that our situation is Exceedingly Critical. There are less than six hundred soldiers hese now. all told. The party sent to Wounded Kueo to bury the dead Indians have returned. They found and buried eighty-tw- o bucks and sixty-thre- e suuaws and children. It was aiso found! that five were buried by the Indians. In addition to this total, 153, tijey have heard now and then of others who have betm carried away by hostile spouts, etc., sufficient to swell the number, of dead Indians as the result of the battle at Wounded Knee to full 200, with several yet to die. The Ferayth A Hair. Washington, Jan. 6. The lollowing correspondence in regard to Colonel Forsyth's case was made public today. Under the date of Dec. 30th, General Schofield telegraphed (Ieneral Miles expressing his belief that he would j ' soon be master of the situatiou and ask ing that his thanks be given to "The Ilrave Seventh Cavalry for their splendid conduct." Under the date of January 1, Miles telegraphed Seholield as follows: Your telegram of congratulations to the Sev-enth cavalry received, lint as the action f the oolonet commanding will be a matter of serious consideration and will undoubtedly be the subject of an investigation, I thought it proper to ad-vise yon, in view of the above facts. Do you wish your telegram transmitted, as it was sent It I. Stated the Illapotition of 400 soldiers and pieces of artillary was so fatally defective and a large number of soldiers killed and wounded by the tire of their own ranks and a very large number Women and Children were killed in addition to the Indian men. General Schofield telegraphed a reply under date of Jan. 2: In view of tho aspect of the case presented by your telegram yesterday, it will be better not to deliver my message to the Sev-enth cavalry until I have seen your report, after tho investigation. As you propose therefore, you will Plea.e Withhold It Tjntil further advised by me." He also telegraphed (ien. Miles again on the same day as follows: "Your dispatch to me yesterday and that to the adju-tant general were shown to tthe presi-dent, and in reply the secretary of war directs me to say that the president has . beard with great regret the failure of your efforts to secure a settlement with . the Sioux." Without Dloodthed. He suggested that possibly watchful observation of thejhostile bands would prevent their breaking into the settle- - , ments and to give the Indians time to recover from their1 present excitement would be well, but he leaves all this to your better information and discretion and would not have you omit anything that is Neoeaeary to Protect 1 tho settlers. lie proposes the report of the killing of women and children in the affair at Wounded Kneo are un-founded, and directs you to cause im-mediate inquiry to bo made and report j the result to the department.

"I wish to add to the president's suggestions, - I Still Entertain in spite of the unfortunate accidents which have occurred, that you may bo abie, by convincing the Indians that 4 tho purpose of the army is not i hostile to; them, but, on the contrary, friendly and dictated by a desire to se-- l cure to them future peace and prosper- - i ity, to obtain their surrender without conflict, (ieneral Miles telegraphed i General Schofield tinder date tif Jan. i ' U, as follows: "The directions of the I president and yourself are just the ac- - f tion I had anticipated and taken.

Within tho Salvation army the re-tirement of Commissioner Smith is regarded as a matter of indifference.

A press association dispatch announces that Salisbury is engaged on the consideration of a forty page dispatch received from Blaine December 30 last from Washington. It does not contain a definite acceptance of Salisbury's Proposal, for Arbitration on the main question, that of the right of British sailors to catch seals in the Behring sea. The dispatch says Blaine discusses only tho subsidiary point of arbitration on the line of closing seal-ing. The dispatch adds that Blaine has not replied to Paitncefnrte's Note of June last, in which the latter says Her Ma-jesty's government must hold the of the United States responsi-bl- r for the consequences arising from the acts of interference with British vessels contrary to the principles of in-ternational law. The association also states that no preparation has been made to augment the British licet in the Northern Pacific ocean, as such a step might be Regarded a. a Menace. Lonpon, Jan. 0. The St. James Ga-zette today sa s it acceps as official the denial in regard to the Behring Sea troubles, adding, however: "But why is the United States navy being massed in the Pacific, unless it is to make the Behring Sea A Mare Clausem. Officers of the American navy do not act upon rumors printed in Americau papers." ...' The Pall Mall Gazette says: Blaine obviously means to try more "bounce" for the sake of making political capi-tal, We are convinced however that the Americans will not support him. It le Imperltive to arbitrate the matter In dispute. The Globe says it altribntcs the fric-tion to Blnines "bragging spread-eagleism- " and it is of the opinion, in view of a possible though unlikely American Kloplay of Force in the Behring sea, that Great Britian ought instantly to strengthen her Pacific squadrons. The Globo also ad-vocates a settlement of all matters in dispute by means of arbitration. No Information at Ottawa. Ottawa. Ont., Jan. ft.

The annual election of officers of the famous political organization known as the Butterworth club will be held from 5 to 0 o'clock this evening. Henry Luskey, the present president, is a candidate for The re-lations between the club and Sheriff Ham are decidedly strained. Most of the members live in the Twenty-sevent-ward, and when the sheriff had completed his list of appointments it was discovered that he had eutirely ignored the ward. . The club was very indignant at this action and told the sheriff so. He created something of a sensation by intimating that he was not indebted to the Twenty-sevent- ward, as he had paid the delegates to the con-vention from that ward, in cold cash for all they had done fof him. A com-mittee was appointed to investigate the charge, but although the committee has long since completed Its labors, it has so far declined to make a report. It is thought the independent ticket will be elected. FOR A LEGAL TENDEB NOTE. Tba Dill Introduced by Po.t, of Illlnoia, Y.tterday. Washington, Jan. 6. In the houso today.
