ALBANY, Feb 10, 18TH
the "Boss's' Senate bill TO supply New York city
Vith pure and wholesome water made its appear
anco In the lower house to-day. 1t will be re-
membered that the republicans held caucus the
other nght at which 1t was determined to take the
consideration OF this bill out Of the hands OF the
Committee on the Affairs Of Cities ana have 1t re-
ferred to the Committee on Internal Affairs. lt
leaked out the night OF the caucus thar there were
few OF the republicans who kicked against the party
Haces; not openly. IL tiue but then, when the
gus vote was taken tney higgled and piggled about
Il In such way that the leaders felt that something
more than party ito was necessary TO keep them
well In hand for the time when the question would
come mp before the House. There was therefore o
little excitement when the BIN was taken up by the
CLERK and It's title read this morning. Alverd sprang
to MS feet at once, but tho Speaker was too quick
for him. and hurr1edly exclaimed. sThe bill will
be referred to the Committee ON the Affairs OF
Cities." Down went the gayei with
RINGING Raj,
and up went Alyord's voice:-"Mr. Speaker, Mr..
Speaker. move TO refer the bill to the Committee
On Internal AGaira.n Hickman hesitated for
second ana then quickly rcp!ied:-'I win inform
the gentleman from Onondaga that the bill has
been already referred" Now 1t was very nice
question OF time In the mind OF the Giant whether
the reference had really been mado before his mo-
tion had reached the Speakers ears, SO when he
heard the decision he looked about him
In kind Of half bewderment, while his fellow re-
publicans, who knew Of tlc Importance OF the move
ne had made began to look very uneasy. Alyord
finally recovered from his astonishment and warmly
remarked that 1t was tho Speakers duty to recog-
nize Q member whom he rose to make motion In the
proper time. Htohman looked nettled but, putting
on bis most wnsome smile, lie Informed the Giant
that II he would then and there make motion 10
discharge the Committee On the Affairs OF Cities from
further consideration Of the bill and that Il be
ierrcd 10 the Committee on Internal Affairs he would
chance and the yeas and rays were at once called
