CONFERENCE OF PLATTISTS.
They Want n Law Giving the Cow
erIfOr Power to Remove Democrats.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia conference was
held in ex-senator Piatt's room at the
Fifth-avenue Hotel to-day, attended by that
gentleman, Senator Lexow, Chairman Ed
ward Lauterbach, of the Republican county
committee, and others of Mr.. Platt's
friends. The direct object of the confer
ence was to map out a plan of campaign
respecting the city legislation, particularly
those bills now pending which are desired
by Mayor Strong. and the committee of
seventy. Mr.. Platt assured those who
spoke to him the subject at the close of
the conference that no definite action had
been taken. That there was a strong diff
ference of opinion expressed at the con-
ference was generally understood after the
conference. The disturbing element was
said TO be Edward Lauterbach. The propo-
sitions he offered, 1t was understood were
retaliatory measures, in the shape of a
power of removal bill for the State. which
would enable Governor Morton to appoint
Republicans to offices now held by Demo-
Gratis. This said to be the method pro-
posed to set off Mayor Strong's appoint
ment of William Brookfield to be commits
sioner of public works in this city. Mr.
Lauterbach. however, declined to be quoted,
beyond the fact that nothing in the way
of retaliatory legislation had been agreed

row morning several surprises are expected
in the Hayward trial. The defense has been
busy to-day in collecting matter. and will be
prepared to go along handily with the case.
Miss Wachtler will be placed on the stand,
and Mr.. Erwin will argue with the court as
to whether or not she can testify as to what
Blixt said while she was taking his state
ment If the court holds with him it will
create precedent whereby stenographers
employed by attorneys will have to be kept
in the dark as regards all statements be-
tween attorneys and their clients. 1t APP
pears that the statutes have not been al
tered since the stenographer became a nee
essary adjunct TO an attorneys office, and
there is no provision for their protection.
On Saturday Judge Smith was quite certain
that the intent of the law was such that she
could not testify. In addition to this there
will be some evidence in regard to those
bloody clothes which it has always been
stated Sheriff Eye found out near Lake CAL
houn. 1t now transpires that Mr. Ege did
not find the clothing referred to at all. but
that the discovery was made by Daniel F.
Darling, who will be placed on the stand.

AMERICAN WHEELMEN.
Fourteenth Annual Meeting of the
National League to Begin To-Day.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-There was almost
as much lobbying, intervening and button
holing in the parlors and corridors of the
Grand Union Hotel tonight as might be
witnessed in any political center during the
busy hours preceding an important conyen-
ton. The lobbyists we're delegates to the
fourteenth annual meeting of the League
of American Wheelmen, which will convene
tomorrow morning. They come from far
and wide-from every State in the Union.
They have some minor differences, but the
advancement of cycling is their chief con-
Germ. Between Massachusetts, and New Jer-
sey there is wide difference. Each wants
the next annual meeting of the l.. A. w.
and the representatives of each State are
striving by every means in their power to
secure it. Massachusetts is willing TO con-
cede and give anything and everything, swap
or trade any advantage or power which they
may have for the privilege of holding the
next annual meet under their auspices; New
Jersey is anxious to do as much and more
If possible. Agents from other States are
not safe from the arguments of the hustling
representatives of Massachusetts and New
Jersey. The Massachusetts men have photo
graphs of the principal points of interest
and West and Southwest must stand, view
and admire. The New Jersey men are deep
in the photograph business also. They have

ment is that Asbury Park Is within few
miles of New YORK. ASDury Idrk presents
another strong claim in the shape of q
petition signed by two hundred well-known
racing men, ranging in merit from Zm-
norman down. a

be many candidates for the different offices

the election is regarded as a foregone con-

of Cumberland, Md, say that he cannot be

be the next chairman of the racing board.
OF all the as2endments to the constitution
the most important to be proposed will be
that of barring colored men from the league.
There are other amendments by the score,
but none so interesting this. The league

FAR FROM BANKRUPT
WHISKY TRUST AFFAIRS NOT so
BAD AS FIRST REPORTED.
To BE Reorgaaixcd, Taken Out of the
Rcceivers' Hands and Greenhut's
Services Dispensed With.

CHICAGO. Feb. 17.-It is stated here that
plans for getting the Whisky Trust on its
feet have been practically agreed on by
the stockholders reorganization committee.
Every effort is being made to keep the
terms secret until an address to the share
holders can be prepared. Three members
or the reorganization committee-R. D.
dartshorne and S. d. Rice, of New York,
and w. d. Hutton, of Cincinnati,-are in
conference with receivers McNulta, Mitchell
and Lawrence. 1t is said the concern is
in excellent condition, and difficulty will
be experienced in raising the money neces-
sary to get it out of the hands of receivers.
Instead of a pressing Indebtedness of $lOO0,-
OO0 or more, as Judge Grosscup was led to
believe existed, the receivers discovered
that the company owed only little more
than $500, 600 in the form of rebate vouchers,
and $4,000 of those have been forfeited.
The remaining $500, 600 is not due In lump
sum, but natures in small amounts from
day to day and can readily be met without
sacrificing any of the assets of the COM
pany. 1t was discovered that the trust had
almost 100000 cash in the bank, which
could be used for the payment of debts.
The business, however, requires reserve cap
ital of that amount, for, in lively times,
from 5000 to $4,000 day is paid to the
internal revenue collectors in getting spirits
out of bond. The trust owed only small
amount, as the managers had paid cash for
all supplies bought.
The plan which, 1T is said, Will lIobably
be adopted is to force a judicial sale of
the property and buy it in. It is thought
that stockholders favor the plan because
it would get the company away from the
receivers and restore it to managers friend
ly to those holding it's securities. One
feature of the plan is said to be to dis
pense with Mr.. Greenhut. Mr.. Hartshorne
would not talk about the intentions of the
committee further than to say that any
plan that mght Of be aapsd m would pons
outstanding. These were sold at so cents
on the dollar.
1t is said tonight that whatever the re-
suit of the case now pending before the
Illinois State Supreme Court, the stock
holders will decide to surrender the present
charter. They will then Immediately APP
ply for a charter under the laws of New
Jersey. This granted the company will
proceed to reorganize under it's provisions
leaving President Greenhut and his fellow
officers stranded, the managers of corpo-
ration which has ceased to have a corpo-
rate existence. 1t is reported that the ap-
pication for the new charter in New Jersey
is likely to be made within the week. The
stockholders committee will hold final
consultation with the receivers Wednesday
