THE EFFECT ALREADY FELT.
one Of the results already gained by the ener-
getic demands for the immediate enactment OF
these reform measures was the passing oi the
Police Magistrates bill last night by the Assembly
at Albany. under the whip and spur OF Governor
NJ rton. There are many Indications that this
! bill has been the subject OF a Platt-Tammahy
deal Great efforts 10 defeat IL In the upper
branch will be made. The knowledge .that me
citizens OF NewYopk are about to meet ana De

ble delay which will roll northward from Cooper

state Senate. In that case Mayor Suongs ap-
proval Of the measure and Governor Norton >

venality and trickery the police bench OF this

tee Is making its plans accordingly. The we'll
