Made Mt This Session.

| MaGe MT Ih1s session.
| New York, March 24.-Leading repub-
| lican politicians of this city and state
met in Senator Platt's rooms at the
| Fifth Avenue hotel this afternoon and
| were in conference for several hours
AS result of the conference it was de-
cided to attempt no police legislation
| this session. The conference adjourned
subject to the call of Senator Platt
whenever in his judgment police legis-
lation seems necessary. All who were
talked with said the conference was
harmonious. Chairman Dunn. of the
republican state committee, gave out
the following statement concerning the
conference:
''Police legislation was generally dis
cussed and the merits of the metropoi-
tan police bill and the state police bill
taken up. Many persons spoke on the
measures and police legislation in gen.
eral After this discussion Senator
Plat said that he thought it was mex
pedient to pass any further police leg
islation at this time and that the mat
ter remain until such time as warrant
ed the calling of the conference for fur
ther discussion on this subject.
"a motion was then made to adjourn,
Senator Ellsworth being the mover.
The senator said that owing to the po
sition of Senator Platt 1t was inexpedi-
ent at this time to pass further police
legislation and the conference ought to

Platt at such a time as there existed a
situation which warranted the calling of
another conference. Now, that Is the
kernel Of the meeting"
"Was the conference harmonious?"
was asked. Absolutely So" said Chair
man Dunn. II have attended confer
ences of the republican party for seven
teen years and l never saw such har-
monious conference"
This evening Senator Platt gave out
the following statement: THE general
opinion of those at the conference was
that the police conditions existing in
New York ought to have the attention
of the legislature, but that it would be
useless to pass any bill, as the governor
has declared that he would veto 1t.
Some of those present favored state
police law and others favored a metro
politan district. but\it was conceded by
all that nothing should be done at pres
ent.
II regret the situation, as 1 believe
that some action by the Legislature is
important to the city and republican
party, and I think that such will be the
general public opinion soon. But If
nothing is to be done, and if the present
bad conditions are to be submitted to,
The legislature is not responsible for
hat. If it turns out in the next mu
licipal election that the Judgment
which | have formed upon this subject
1as been wrong, then l shall be glad
hat Tammany has been left in control

body to be Kept Secret.
Glasgow, March 24.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton was at Dumbarton yesterday max
ing arrangements to launch the Sham
rock ii. and the ceremony has been
definitely fixed for April 90 The Mar
chloness of Dufferin will christen the
yacht. The attempts last week to
dredge the channel deep enough to
float the challenger failed, owing to the
shifty nature of the bottom. For a
time it looked as If this might give
rise to serious difficulties, because the
long fin and heavy ballast demanded
twenty feet of water. which 1t is i'm
possible to get. In this dilemma Mr..
Watson devised an ingenious plan. This
involves hugh water tight box of suf.
ficient buoyancy to carry the whole
weight of the yacht The box is being
built around her under body in such a
fashion that the whole of the hollow
between the body of the yacht and the
fin will be filled up. 1t is calculated
that this will float six feet above the
normal water line of the yacht and that
when deep water Is reached 1t can be
knocked away. One result of the use
of the contrivance will be that the un-
der body will be hidden as the yacht
goes down the ways and it will be i'm
possible to get complete photograph
of her.
