ALBANY, May II tSpccid Mr.. Murphy

passed by the Assembly which gives President Mooney,
Of the Board OF Aldermen appointment OF the Excise
Commissioners Of NewYork be referred to the Juoea'y
Committee for examination. Senator Hendricks moved
substitute that the bill he referred 10 the Committee
on Cities and this motion adopted. II is believed
that this Ommittee hostile the bill and that II Will
never the Hight OF day again.
II was rumorcd tonight Governor Hill intends 10
call extra session of the LEGISLATURE TO pass census
bill aud also consider the pension problem.
The friends OF Senator John Jacobs were sound
ing the Senators tonight to learn II they coniu
gst 4 majority in favor OF his confirmation
"a Railroad Commissioner II he should be
nominated for the place. succeeding Jonn
ODonnen. whose term has expired. 1t not probable
that Republican Senate will in favor Of putting
second Democrat in the Board 1t now has one Demo
crat, one Republican and one Ant-Monopolist with
TWO Democrats IN It forming majority, it could he con-
verted into powerful political machine. The Repuo
can Senators apparently are not IN mood to give the
power to the Democracy by confirming Jacobs.
The Assembly passed this afternoon despite the pro-
test OF Mr. Lyon OF Ne~York, the bill increasing the
salaries OF the sergeants Of police OF Newiork from
Sl.7OO to $1,000.

The Conference Committees of the Senate and Assem-
bly, Tonight upon the Dock Department Dill.

Koch partly soled Tor the amendments to his bill
10y having the salaries Of all the commissioners raised
from $1,000 TO Sj 900 The Conference Committees cut
them down from $4,000 TO S5, 900. The Assembly
agreed TO these and the Senate will do the
same
There appears to be no disposition in the Senate to in
dulge Governor Hill in his eItravagint IDEAS respecting
the Executive mansion. Wnen the Assembly bill ap
proprating 100000 announced In the Senate TO-
night Democratic Senator moved that It should be
passed. and 1t quietly to the Finance Com
mittee. 1t suspected that the members OF this com
mitee have m1rierous thoughts about the bill and tnaI
II r escapes from their clutches Will complain OF an
attempt having been made upon its lie.
The Senate Committee Elections tonight handed IN
report upon the confessed election Of senator
| Wrmpe ard Judge Yates. The election was a close

eight senator We Ifer made a minority report
/ The Republican senate thus shows It's fairness IN DO
Gliding IN favor OF Democrat and against RepuDcAn

Governor Hill nominated Charles F. Allen. OF New
York FOR State Assessor tonight in place OF caey "
Wood whose bas expired. Tue Governor thus
keeps his promise ade last fall that New-iO Ork should

The atOn will perhaps protect New ork from
the unjust increase IN s taxation which 1t has suffered
years The nomination referred 10 the Judiciary
Committee. although Senator Murphy moved that II
