IS THIS MR. PLAT1's ERRANDs
To Fass In Advance for the u. 3. Senate
on New York's Choice OF n Senators

on Now YOrk's Choice OF SenRtors
Ex-senator Thomas c. Platt went to Wash
ington yesterday. and this time his business Is
said to be politics. 1t appears from what
could bo gathered that Mr.. Platt and his
friends are greatly exercised over the pro-
posed investigation into the means by which
certain Republican Assemblymcn in the state
were elected in the last campaign. The news
from Albany to the effect that there is any
amount of evidence that will warrant the un-
seating OF these Assemblymen has created ap-
prehension. With never thought OF how
Speaker Reed tumbled out the Democratic
Congrsssmen who received large majorites,
1t is now understood to be the plan OF Mr..
Plat and his friends In Washington 10 oppose
the seating OF any Democratic United States
Senator returned from New York, provided the
FIVE or six ssemblymen who arc known TO
have got their seats on tho Republican side by
peculiar means are turned out. In fact. 1t Is
understood thnt Mr. platt and his friends will
do everything they can to unseat tho Demo-
cratic Senator II the law takes its course and
the Republicans who were Illegally returned as
elected to the Assembly get their deserts.

WORLDS FAIR ACT,
Argument on the ConstitutionaIity of the

Argument on the Constitutionality of the
Law.
The Supreme Court, sitting in bank, heard
argument yesterday afternoon on the const-
tutiunality of the act appro Driating $780,
900 for an exhibition at Chicago. Controller
COigan refused 10 pay any part of the ap-
preparation on the ground that the Legisla-
ture has no power to pass an act appropri-
ating money TO be expended outside of the
State.
His counsel before the court not only ad-
vanced this point but insisted that the act
Is also unconstitutional because it provides
for gift. He maintained that because thu
set makes no provision for the removal of
the buildings to be erected for California
they will be given to Chicago.
Chief Justice Beatty remarked that he
could find nothing in the bill which pre-
vented the Commissioners from selling OF
removing the State property.
Ex-Judge McKinstry argued for the COM
missionerS, and both sides were given
twenty DAYS in which to file briefs. The
Acknowledgement will file brief ON the
cOnstitutiopality of the law.
