April 8.—The vote of Senator Owen Cassidy, of Schuy ler, Republican, late today caused a tie vote of 25 to 25 and defeated for the time, at least, the two Agnew- Hart bills embodying the recommen dation of the governor that the legal provision be abolished which, since 1905, has protected public gambling at racetracks, whereas it is a felony elsewhere in the state. Lieutenant Governor Chandler, in the senate, by casting his vote to break the tie upon a parliamentary motion, which but for him would have resulted in killing the bills for the rest of the session, saved them for another vote, at the discretion ot the introducer, Agnew, at any time when the order of business permits him to call up the matter. > evailed.

CHAMBERS HARDWARE CO The Red Star IS GOING AFTER GEORGE L. LILLEY. April ¡I;—lnve< • * arils at Chariest m, HHHH......... d , Portsmouth. N. H.. New Orleans and Key West by a cont rol sion ; ;o.iintcd oy the president with a view to their abandonment was urged by Representative Lilley, of Connecticut, before the house to day. Mr. LI!ley offered a Joint reso lution providing for the appointment of this commission and for improve ments in other yards, so as to elim inate the waste of public moneys in the maintenance of the same. Mr. Lilley quoted from reports made by oficers and former secreta ries of the navy as far back as 1885 to show that the condition of the na vy yards was then open to severe crit- iclsn*. and in fact that the reorganiz- ation of the navy department itself was desirable, if not absolutely neces- sary. The navy yards mentioned in his resolution were taken up separately, and discussed by Mr. Lilley. The Mare Island yard, he said, had cost $1,175,000. "But the secretary of the navy states that this drydock will not permit the docking of a bat tleship.” And not only is this true, but a battleship cannot, get to the yard, Although Rear Admiral En'di- cott, then chief of the bureau of yard s and docks ten years aso. prac- tically recommended the abondon- nient of this yard, since that time $728,806 has been expended in dredging alone, and $5,124,712 has been appropriated and expended on the yard. "Key We«t is a place," said Mr. Lilley, that has cost US $1,328,038. It is six miles from the straits and the low water depth in its channel is 26 feet, and $101.000 has been spent there for dredging. At this yard in the fiscal year ended in 1907, $94.- 318 was expended for labor and the value of their total product was but $7126. “Portsmouth, N. H., or Kittery, ! Me., is a plant that lias cost us over $10,000,000.” Continuing, Mr. Lilley said that last sinner, when he visited the Ports mouth navy yard with the other members of the house committee on naval affairs aboard the Dolphin, the captain of the vessel told him it was not safe to take even so small a craft as th* 11*' ' in Into th*- * 'fl. ii.-eau.-" of the dangerous swift current and narrow channel. T'ne expensive dock hid never docked a first-class battleshhi. he addl'd, and vet $244,- ooo more was anpr< ,j f0 place the last session of .tl re t!* Concerning the navy vari’at^ Orleans Mr. Lilley said , . $78,274 was spent by th.
