The various provisions OF the Rapid Transit MEASURE
which senator Ives made public Tonight as the Dll
which he will introduce tomorrow, as the one when
Tammany Hall aud Mayor Grant havs con
clutcA to stand sponsor 10. were gone over
car fully and debated The bill has large number of
provisions Of the Fa,sett bill II last year, but the ke
publican members of the conference mink that even
this can be improved upon,
The result Of the discussion was decision TO INTRO
duce senator stewards measure. IL Is not the N'cH-
ti0u of tho Republican members OF either mouse 10
allow II they can prevent II. Rapid Transit bill 10 be
passed which will afford opportunities for lainmany
johbery or political manipulation Of any sort. Mr.
stewards BILL II Is believed, guards admirably the IN
tcr'sts Of Ncw-York in these respects.
