LEXOW HAD TO YIELD.
The Reform Element Too Strong for
Him ut Albany.

Him Mt Albany.
On the eve of what has promised to be
enc of the greatest political battles wit
messed for years in the New York senate,
followers of ex-senator Platt yielded in the
main to the aggressive assaults of the in
dependent element, and agreed to allow
the amendments to the police reorganiZa-
ton bill and the bipartisan police bill.
LeSoW and Lauterback decided yesterday
that the only way in which the bills could
he passed was to accept some of the
amendments. 1t was decided to allow the
mayor to appoint the commissioners, and
to do away with the elective feature of the
present bill.
These amendments do away with some
of the opposition, but it is believed that a
bitter fight will ensue over the right of
appe al for patrolmen 1t is possible that
there, are enough votes to pass an amend
n ent giving the mayor the right to listen
to appeals. The bill under the present
arrangement cannot be put on final pas
sage until Wednesday of next week.
