ALBANY. Aprii 3.-Mr Plat proved his own
etship Of the Senate to-day. The New York
Bipartisan Police bill was ordered to third
reading in the Senate and made q special or
der for Wednesday morning Its passage By
the Senate is practically assured.
Mr.. Plat seems to have captured the Buffalo
and Brooklyn Senators. who have hitherto
been opposed to him. He delayed the passage
Of the bill until he had the Republican ssna-
tors united.
So far az known no Democrat will vote for
the bill This disposes OF all the talk OF deal
which has been going on for several months In
the MuRwump papers.
The bill was amended before IL was advanced
By making the Superintendent the chief ex-
ecutive officer OF the Board and By placing
upon him the power and responsibility Of
making assignments. transfers. and d.taila
This is q slight SOP to the Union League Club
and the Chamber Of Com merce. who are OPP
posed to the bipartisan Police bill. and who
wanted q single-headed Commission instead.
The bill now provides for . Police Board OF
four Com m Issioners two Democrats and two
Republicans. all to be appointed By the Mayor
and chief executive officer. to be known as
the Superintendent. who shall be appointed
By the Police Board. and who shall have full
power over details.
The Senate defeated Senator McMshon's bill
providing that there shall be no Greater New
York unless the vote in New York city shall
favor Il.

ate. The Republicans have pared down the
appropriations so a. seriously to curtail tho
work OF several State departments The sp-
propriation for the State Agricultural Depart
mont was reduced from 500 600 to $50. 600
Senator Cantor asked whether the reduction
OF this appropriation was caused By desire to
cripple the work OF the department in pre-
venting the sale Of olsom argarine 10 the State.
He said that there was now litigation between
the State and the Armour Company OF Chicago
