The atory I'm some newspapers to-day that ak Repubii
can Senators have made deal with Gov~rnor nm W
confirm some one As Health officer OF New-fork Is all
moonshine There Ia such deal ana do not oeneVe
any has been proposed TO tho Republican senators
What favor, and. think every Republican Senator
fayors that Senator Fasses bill be passed reducing
the Health Officers fees and limiting him to salary OF
$4,000. The Chamber of Commerce OF New YORK. OF
which am a member supports the bill IL is decidedly
In the interest OF the merchants OF NewYork The e
publican Legislature has times past reduced the fees
OF Democratic officials. and think that Republicans
might well balance the account by reducing the fees OF
Republican officials hope the bill Will be pressed by
Senator vedder and passed at once"
eenator vedder who has charge Of Senator Fassetts
bill said: As Senator Worth, the chairman OF
tho Committee Commerce, returns-ant hope ne
will be here to-morrow-I shall ask him to report tue
bill in relation the Health Officer fayoraby, and shall
eneavOr to get both that bill and my Quarantine COM
mission bill through the Legislature this week. MY
Quarantine Commission bill. you remember, puts the
president OF the Board OF Health OF Newfork ana the
Commissioner OF Health OF Brooklyn into the Board OF
Quarantine Commissioners and leaves only one OF the
present Quarantine Commissioners, namely, john
Nichols"
Senator Hendricks, OF Syracuse, said that he was
endeayorng bring about conference Of the Rcpnbi-
can members OF the Legislature In regard to the various
high license and temperance bills, so that they may
learn which OF the bills will have the party support Ho
thought this conference might be held the present week.
1t would % wise have such conference rather than
TO dash bndfpded at the temperance bills and perhaps
fail pass of them. No bill OF this character
ought to be pushed party measure by Republicans
unless It had pledged sufficient Republican votes In
the Legislature 10 pass it.
