ALBANY. March 16-Afer the debate yester-
day over the Bi- partisan New York Police bill
many Of the Republican Senators and Assem-
bymen went to New York to confer with Mr..
Plstt This left hardly enough members to
do business In either House. 1t would be .
great convenience to the Legislature should
Mr.. Platt come to Albsnypnce ortwlce sweek,
II would save ali the mefn bers the trouble Of
going to New York.
These New York visits practically reduce the
sessions OF the LEGISLATURE to three days q
week-Tuosdiy. Wednesday. and Thursday
az they fail to return on Friday. and It fre-
quently happens that they do not start on
Monday in time to be present at the evening
session. There are fve sessions OF the Legis-
lature q week but the real business is done on
the three day sessions in the middle OF the
week.
A canvass OF the Senate shows that at pres

partisan Police bill Both OF the Erie Repub-

Republicans. and he has . strong organization
behind him. which includes the New York As

Der OF the Brooklyn mblymen. and num-
ber OF Republicans from the State from the old
Half Breed counties.
go far there are no signs OF any Democratic
support OF the bill The Platt Republicans
have endcavored to get a majority to pass this
bill by calling q caucus and having all the Re-
publican members attend It. This plan did
not work. as tho number OF Republican
Senators and Assemblymen. several OF
whom were regarded as Platt men. refus-
cd to attend any caucus by which they we're to
be bound. II all the Republicans will attend
the caucus and agree to be bound by the rs-
suit. there will be no trouble In Mr.. Patts
procuring n majority and passing his bills.
This is the object toward which lie and his
friends are working

rose to question Of privilege. and said that
his remarks on the Bi- partisan Police bill had
been misauoted yesterday. He said that the
