NEW YORKS POLICE JUSTICES.
THE LOWER HOUSE PASSES THE
BILL ABOLISHING THEM.

The Measure Provides for the Ap-
Pointment by the Mayor of Nine
Police Magistrates In Their stead
10 Take Onice on July I-Thc Vote
on the BuI 81 Ayes 10 10 Noes-GoS.
MOrtOn's Message 10 the LeEisIa-
ture in Favor of the Measure.
Albany. n. Y. March 25.-Gov. Morton
sent special message 10 the state Iegis-
lature to-day in which he asked that the
measure abolishing the New York city
police justices and substituting nine police
magistrates in their stead be speedily
passed.
The governor also called attention to
the need Of prompt reorganization OF the
police. In speaking of the legislation re-
commended the governor said. This leg
islation is a necessary step toward muni-
cipal reform. II is supplementary to the
power OF removal bill. already passed. and
which was recommended specially in my
first message 10 the legislature. The Ian
guage used in that paper on that subject
is as follows: "A power of removal bill
for the city of New York, placing In the
hands Of the mayor absolute and unques-
tionable authority to remove any of the
appointive officers of the city government
and to appoint their successors. is an inn
mediate requirement at your hands, am
convinced that this power of removal al
ready conferred should not be limited to
administrative officers. but that II is
equally important that It should be made
to apply to the police justices. A doubt
has been expressed as to the constitution
atty of this bill. but that doubt has been
practically resolved In its favor by the re-
Gently published opinions of some Of the
most eminent and learned lawyers in New
York city.
II desire, also. to call attention to the
need of prompt reorganization Of the po-
lice department OF New York city. In
the testimony before the LeXow commit
tee it was charged that many members
of the police force, among them officers
of high grade We're not only blackmall-
ers and eXtortioners. but were actively in
league with the criminal classes. 1t is
generally believed that the extent Of
these alleged corrupt practices have not
yet been fully revealed The laW-ablding
classes are naturally uneasy under such
a condition OF things and knock impa-
tiently at the doors Of the legislature for
relief. They demand that police officers
who have betrayed their trusts, or used
their great power oppressvely, shall be
ascertained and dismissed without I'M
necessary delay, and the legislature Is
asked to provide the method of relief.
1t is apparent that this request should
be needed and such legislation enacted
as will meet the emergency. i therefore
recommend the early passage Of the po-
lice magistrates BILL so-called, and of
measure that will place in the proper
hands the power to reorganize and re-
generate the police department of the
metropolis"
The New York city police magistrates
bill passed the assembly tonight by a
vote of So ayes to 10 noes. The bill abol-
ishes the New York city police justices
and provides for the appointment by the
mayor of nine police magistrates in their
stead to take Office on July /.

WHISKY Trust FINANCES.
The Receiver Claims to Have Found
n Big Discrepancy.


Chicaso, March 25.-The report OF the
experts who have been investigating the
whisky trust accounts states that a dis.
crepancy OF S.92LIe exists which is
chargeable to the manipulation Of the
officers and directors Of the company. The
report Is very sensational
Inc report says an effort was made to
Eide the discrepancy by erasures on the
DOCKS or the company. This is only one Of
many items which the receiver. Gen. Nc
Ncita, says he viii endeavor to collect by
Ia" from the old officers and directors Of
the Disulling and Cattle Feeding Com
pany.
The experts report covers a period end
ing March 81. 1892, and throws no light on
tae subsequent transactions. II is in

Friends of the old directory say that
in no court can the difference of $50 a

was worth on the stock market at the
time it was taken. The experts are still
at work in Peoria and it will be some
time before final report is rendered.

New Orleans, March 25.-There has been
very little change in the levee situation
At late hour last night the governor
decided that the troops would not be
sent to the river front, but would be held
in their armories. the intention being to
test the feeling among the laboring
classes. If there Is not trouble 1t is prob
able that the military will be entirely
withdrawn in day or two. This morning
some of the negro crews went to work
but many expressed fear and refused the
employment offered them. It Is not
believed here in any quarter that there
is ground for the apprehensions Of the
negroes. They are simply timid without
cause. There is ample negro protection
and no violence is looked for. Gov. Foster
said to-day that he expected to leave the
city in day or two
