There is a prospect that tomorrow the insurance
aght, with additional revelations, will break out
IN all its fury. Hendee has got his back up once
more and means war to the knife and the knife to
the hilt. He says that the chairman OF the COM
mit,ee the day OF the last fight Came to him and
said that he would be notified when the committee
held its pext meeting. Now" said Mr.. Hendee to

THE TROUBLES OF THE CHARTER
continue. The disagreement on the subject of the
twenty fifth section has not been smoOthed over
yet; but an informal proposition has been made
by Palmer, Benedict and Perry to substitute an
other provision for the obnoxious one. 1t has not
yet been accepted or acted upon. Senator
s emann opposes ot what the exact prop

giving the appointing power to the Mayor, subject
to confirmation by the Aldermen and providing

The General Appropriation bill was the cause
Of a good deal OF merriment In the Assembly this
afternoon. IL Will be remembered that last week,
wnen Is was IN Committee OF the Whole, the
minority succeeded IN placing the majority OH
record against the sectsran appropriations FOR
academies. The republicans, when they had the
new YORK charter under consideration, insisted
upon strong sectarian amendment being
enRraIted INTO u. The minority fought 1t from the
beginning 70 the end, but were, of course, de-
feated.
