ALBANY. April Ex-senator Lexow brought
up his resolution TO extend the Time Of his
peliee investigating committee in the Senate
to-day. This resolution was defeated last
week, but In the mean time tho Republican
Senators had tims to go down to New York
and consult at the fountain head. Senator
Staplston. who opposed the monopoly which
Senators Lsxow and Saxton have had OF legis-
lstive matters. was absent. so he did not have
to rstrsct his attacks Of last week on the COM
mittse
Senator Lexow had the resolution amended
so ss to give the committee power to sit until
Jan. 10. 1895. and to Investigate such other
departments as they wished.
Senator Cantor tried to amend the resolu-
ton so as to give the com mittee three months
time TO end their Investigation. but failed. He
said that he wanted the counsel to put In their
case at once. so that the people might know all
the facts.
Senator saxton said that the COMMITTEES
would regulate the counsel and not the
counsel the committee.
Senator Cantor said that that would be .
pleasing change. because so far the counsel
had run the committee.
Wait until the session IL over" said Sena-
tor O'Connor. and we will make the counsel
stop their pyrotechncs and get down to work.
The committee does not intend to run down to
New York all summer. The lawyers will have
. reasonable time to get up their case. and
then they will have to complete It,"
