Of the LEGISLATURE This revolt was already
outlined in to-day's SUy.
The two Buffalo Senators did not follow the
example OF the Brooklyn Senators. as was ex-
pected, but this may have been because IL was
not necessary for thom to break away publicly.
since tho Brooklyn Republican Senators hold
the balance OF power in the Senate.
Senator Cantor introduced bill which was
prepared BY the city authorities. after CONSUL
| tation with President Seth Low Of Columbia
College and other m members Of the committee
which has taken charge Of relieving the dis
tress among the unemployed.
The bill provides that the city Of New York
may issue bonds to the amount Of $1,000. 900
to be expended on tho public parks under the
direction OF the Board OF Estimate and APP
portionment
This would enable work to begin on the
Speedway at once, and also on the improve
ment OF the parks In the annexed district. All
the Democratic Senators from New York united
with Senator Cantor In asking that this bill
should DO passed at once. Senator 0Connor
objected. and the bill was sent to the Com
mittee on Cities.
Senator Cantor then moved that the Com
mittee on Cities be directed to report the bill
at once. Senator o'Connor objected to this.

When Senator o'Connor realized the revolt
BY which he was overthrown he moved TO re-
commit the bill to the committee. On this
motion he made a speech attacking the city
administration. He said that New York city
was not governed by responsible and repre-
sentative men. and that he wanted time to
consider the bill before he would favor 1t.
Senator Cantor replied that the Senate had
only few minutes previously passed q SINH
lar bill for the city OF jamestown. to authorize
the expenditure OF $4,000 there for tho re-
lief Of the unemployed. Every Senator had
voted for the Jamestown bill because 1t was
favored by the authorities OF that city.
The motion to recommt was defeated By tho
same vote. Then the bill was put on It's final
passage. when 1t was defeated by q vote Of IA
