lation. As introduced from the Senate Com
mittee on Cities, the home rule measures, in adj
dition TO comforting power upon the Fire and
Police Commissioners to hear charges and REIN

currence Of the Board OF Estimate and Appor-
tionment, made the following additions TO the
powers Of the Board of Aldermen

use and purpose OF the city; for establishing
building and equipping telegraph or other sys-
TENS of communication for the use and pur-
poses Of the Police Department and other de-
partments OF Ike city government; for the con-
struction and equipment Of public comfort sta
tions: for the making and completing of all maps

Promise Has Been Made.

Confident that even IL the railway grab bills
are passed by the legislature they will not be-
signed by the Governor, William r King of tho
Merchants Association. said yesterday that the
promise had been made to him that this series
Of corporation measures would never become

worry about these bills" said Mr. King THE

away with the transfer privilege wherever the
railway companies chose-has been killed, and
have Just received a telegram that Mr. New
comb has amended the other four bills. which
have gone TO the Committee on Rules See what
happens to them there. I have the utmost faith
in the Governor. He has never broken his word
to me, and he only can shake my faith In him.
Now we're devoting more time TO the Wal
lace bill for the reconstruction of the Railroad
Commission and the passage OF the Laws De-
lay measures than we are TO railway grabs. We
feel that we can trust them to the honesty OF
the Governor. Why. he said to Mr.. De Berard
when he was at Albany a few days ago to see
him about the bills. You don't suppose I'm
going out of this office IN blaze of dishonor
do you? And / think that's rather significant"

Mr.. Wallace was elected. the independent Re-

measure which Mr.. Wallace introduced would
affect vitality that district, with the transfer

One-hundred- and-sixteenth SITS. The Republi-
cans began the agitation and there was ar
ranged a mass meeting for tomorrow night
This has been postponed to await the result of
