On the other hand 1t s given out that rather than
retain him In the bill the Custom House people win
drop all the other heads OF departments and have
retained at all. Besides all this. the repubf
lcans of the lower house are beginning to grumble
about the changes the Senate has already made in
the bill They claim that It has been 80 altered
that they cannot accept it without stultifyngl
themselves. Nearly every man OF them put himself
on record by o speech In favor Of giving the sp-
pointing power to the Board Of Aldermen when
the bill was passed down stairs, and they are
naturally somewhat troubled about the fx the
Senate has put them In. 1t Ia quite possible that
when the bill comes down the powers behind the
leaders, who hail from New York, will be able to

there will be no charter at all. But can the major

dividing the crime Of murder into two degrees was
called in the House to-day Mr.. Weed moved 10 re-
commit this BILL which, as he understood IL, upset
the decisions Of the Court OF Appeals on what ex-
isted as murder in the first degree. As now neld
the Intent to murder can be formed on the instant
the hand Is raised TO strike This Dill makes sucn
act murder in the second degree anu punisha-

much as the present statute is repealed by IL. lie

meet an existing evil OF much importance. Mr..

isting cases were not affected by the bill The
motion to recommlt was Withdrawn, AND tie DlII
was passed BY vote OF 70 to 10
