WORK UP THE RIVER.
Gov. Robinson and the Police Coru,issioner-
The ApportIonment Bin.


ALBANY, April l4.-The Governor received
the last communication in the matter Of the
New York Police Commissioners on Saturday
night at about midnight and was awakened
from sound sleep by the two messengers who
brought them. He began tho examination OF
tho papers this morning. and Intends II possi-
bic. TO make his decision known before the
close OF the week. He says however. that the
counsel have made great many references TO
authorities and rnised other points which de-
mand careful consideration. and this he shall
give them before making his decision.
The Governor will not take up the Apportion-
ment bill until after he has disposed of tho Po-
lice Commissioners question. The dissatisfied
members are still trying to work up n combina-
ton TO recall this bill from the Governor under
the guise Of desiring to amend 1t. but in reality
to defeat any apportionment at all this session
but they are not likely to succeed. Although the
bill is outrage upon Its face II is an improve
ment in some things upon the existing state OF
affairs and for this reason 1t is believed that II
will be allowed to become n law-not with
the Governors signature. but by the expiration
OF the ten DAYS Limitation during a session Of
the Legislature within which he must veto a hill
TO prevent it's becoming law. This Will give
the Governor. however. an opportunity to hle
with the bill IN the. ofiice Of the Secretary oi
why he allowed IL to become law.
