Boston, March 11.—Governor Ames hac cent the following special message to the ■enate: "Resent events have called my attention to serious defects in the laws relating to the sale of intoxioating liquors, both of which 1 think should be remedied by some action on your part. One of' these is the decision of the Supreme court that the laws in ■ elation to fraudulent voting do not apply to thd taking of the vote upon the question of granting licenses for the sale of intoxlCatin liquors. If this vote is to be taken at all, it ought to be honestly cast and countod. In many of the cities and towns of the commonwealth this is the most important of the questions that come up for action at the annual meetings for the transaction of local affairs, and every reason which exists for providing pro]Der safeguards for the taking of votes foir officers apply with equal force to the taking of this vote.

Boston, March 11.—Many Cambridge railroad strikers have applied for reinstatement, bat were informed that none would be taken back until the barge line and all annoyances to the road had been stopped and the men had returned their badges and settled up with the company. When that was done a number of vacancies might be found for them. A large number of the men made their settlement and returned their badges. An effort win be made to discontinue the barges, a few of which are yet in operation. It is said that in every instance they were rim by tho owners and not by the strikers. In the Cambridge district court John Burns and Hugh Koonan were each sentenced to the house of correction for ten months for committing an assault upon a Cambridge car conductor.
