Can Adjourn After the River and Harbor Bill
Is Passed.

Washington. May 1.-THE Republic
cans of the Senate, will hold caucus.

ment to the tariff act. without coupling
it with other amendments along Re-
publican lines.

publicans will not do anything to pre-
cipitate financial discussion. and il Mr..
Sherman and those who are with the
matter will agree to let the repeal go
by the board. there will be no obstacle
to an adjournment soon as the river

TO EXTEND QUEENS COUNTY.
An Old Proposition 10 Add Part Of Suffolk
County Revived.

New York May 14.-Now that the
by the Governor, there is a revival of
the movement of several years ago to
move the easterly boundary Of Queens
county into Suffolk county, so as to
take in the towns of Huntington
Babylon. and perhaps Smithtown
within the bounds of Queens. 1t is as
serted that the proposed redivision of
territory Is an inevitable result of the
consolidation law.
This law takes from Queens county
the towns OF Long Island City. New
town, Flushing, and Jamaica. leaving
only Oyster Bay, North Hampstead
and Hampstead. These three towns
have a population of Al. 900. while that
of the 10 towns which constitute Suf-
folk county is $4,000.
The new Queens county would be
composed of six towns If Smithtown
should be annexed. with a population
of 5000. while Suffolk's remaining
seven towns would have a population
of 1900. While the difference is In
favor of Queens, it is argued that the
convenience Of the greatest numbers
would be the best subserved by such a
division as is proposed. Hicksville, il
is said. would stand good chance 0!
being made the county seat.
Politically the new Queens county
would be Republican by about 700 ma
jority. The people Of. Hampstead
North Hemstead. and oyster Bay are
said to favor the plan because the an
nexation of the::Sreater part of the pre-
sent territory of Queens county to New
York will leave only a struggling little
county with heavy expenses.
