chairman Of the Republican State Committee
at breakfast Saturday morning, and will
nave an opportunity. therefore, Of informing the
senator frankly what he thinks about the Platt-
croker combination against the Ramapo Water
company bills Of Assemblymen Fallows and
morgan and Senator Ford
AIDING THIRD AVENUE LoOTERs
The Platt-Croker combination was disclosed In
an unexpected direction to-day, owing to the
Introduction Of resolution by Senator Coffey
providing for an investigation of the affairs of
the Third Avenue Railroad Opposition to the
passage Of the resolution made first by Sen
ator Grady, the Tammany Hall leader and then
by prominent Republican Senators who are lieu
tenants Of Senator Plat. The suspicion that the
Third Avenue Railroad looted by a comb-
nation Of Platt Republicans and Croker Demo-
Gratis is thus strengthened
Senator Grady took the ground that such
investigation could only be authorized by a con-
current resolution to be passed by both houses
of the Legislature. But what about the Mazet
committee which only authorized by the
Assembly, or the Assembly committee which is
now investigating the affairs of Syracuse? They
did not act under a concurrent resolution.
Furthermore the Legislative law expressly
states that each branch of the Legislature can
have Investigations by investigating committees
upon its own account. Senator Coffey Will press
his resolution, nevertheless, as a concurrent
resolution to- morrow.

HEARING ON THE TARIFF ACT.

Collector Bidwel held hearing at the Custom
House Yesterday for a number OF importers and
manufacturers of laces, embroderies, etc. The
hearing is the result of difference OF opinion be-
tween the importers and manufacturers on the one
hand and Appraiser Wakeman on the other. the
former contending Mr.. Wakeman has taken al
together too narrow view of Paragraph 2l3 Of
the Tariff act which deals with the matter now in
dispute The points involved are extremely in
tricate. They make distinction between warp and
wool of materials imported, and any extraneous
threads woven in the designs A committee OF New
York merchants went to Washington some time
ago to complain OF Appraiser Wakeman's ruling on
the matter [ then referred to the General
Appraisers, who sustained the importers.
The hearing lasted several hours. number OF
samples of laces and embroideres were shown.
No definite conclusion reached. but the argu-
mont was presented by both sides and will be put
In typewriter form and sent to the Secretary OF
tia Treasury for action.

ALBANY NEWS NOTES.
REPEAL OF HORTON LAW ASSURED.

REPEAL OF dOhION LAW ASSURED.
Albany, March (speciaD.-Three members Of
the Senate Codes Committee succeeded to-day in
still keeping the paddock the Assembly anti
prizeghting bill in repeal of the Horton law. Two
were Democrats and one a Republican They were
Senator'S Donnelly and Mackey and Senator
Coggeshall. When the bill came up for discussion
in executive session. therefore, all attempts the
part of the other members to report 1t favorably
proved futile. The resistance Of these three men
would have been overcome, nevertheless had 1t not
been for the absence of Senators Malby and White,
who have both said they favored the passage of
the measure Senator Malby. the chairman Of the
committee has been confined TO his bed in the Ten
Eyck Hotel for nearly a week Senator White
was called home to-day suddenly TO Syracuse. AS
1t was, there only four members left to fight
in favor of the bill. Three were Republicans and
one was Democrat. They We're Senators Elsoerg
Ford and Brown and Senator Graney. The re-
suit Of the session, however, has proved to be
highly encouraging those who striving to
suppress prizefghting in this State.
the bill cannot fall to receive favorable action 1t
is expected therefore that the bill will be report
ed out without amendment some time next week

THE CARE or HIGH SCHOOLS.
MOVE TO WITHDRAW SUPERVISION FROM
THE REGENTS

Albany March (specaD.-The Assembly Com

to consider the subject of unifying the school sys

session James Russell Parsons. the secretary of
the Board OF Regents: Charles +. Wheelock, head
inspector of the Board, and Charles r.

and his deputy Danforth F. Ainsworth. No action
was taken on the proposed bill
The officers OF the Board Of Regents learned that
a majority Of the Committee on Education favored
deriving the Board Of Regents of the Of the
high schools of the State and giving them into the
charge of the Department of Public Instruction.
Mr. Parsons stated that the unifcation proposition
gents and therefore he had no authority to speak
for them upon this matter. He would express the
belief however. that the Board of Regents should
have an opportunity for hearing before such
revolutionary that depriving them of
their care OF the high schools should be reported.
Mr. Lewis. the chairman OF the committee, is un-
derstood TO have promised that such hearing
should be granted the bill was prepared.
No bill of this nature submitted to the Com
mittee on Education to-day, nor even any draft
of It. Mr. Lewis reported to be at work pre-
pairing t.
Mr.. Parsons and Mr. Wheelock brought forward
all the radical objections which would occur to one
conyersant with the schools OF the State. Mr..
Skinner and Mr.. Atnsworth favored the measure.
Mr. Skinner argued that there was friction be
tween the two school systems. Mr.. Parsons replied
that friction between the two departments was UNI
necessary and he did not think any serious dlHer-
ences between the two departments existed
