IINED 1T MC4RREN ?
RemSen Bill RediStTicting Brooklyn
Reported ont.
Inv TELEGRArH TO TIVE TRrrNE. ]

Albany April The Assembly Committee on
Rules this afternoon reported out the Remsen
bill providing for the Icgislating out Of office
Of all the Brooklyn police court magistrates the
redstrictinE Of the city and adding two new
districts. and also providing for the redstricting
OF Queens. with an increase Of two districts and
of Queens. This bin has been explained by
some as the effort on the part of the Tammany
leaders to secure the ousting Of the NcCarrea
magistrates and the replacing Of them by Tam
many sympathizers. To do this. the story goes.
the Tammany leaders have agreed to appoint
two Republicans in Brooklyn and one in Queens.
BY the terms Of the bill Mayor Mcclellan will
be able to appoint all the new magistrates for
the term expiring January !, 1905 The magig-
trates who would have to go in Brooklyn
Tighe. Hisginbotham. Riley Steers Worth.
Dooey, Furlong and Naumer.
1t is interesting in connection with this to
note that Senator Marshall, the Republican
member from Kings has steadily declined TO
introduce this bill although he has been
Quested to do so several times. The McCarren
men here declined to comment tho bill to-
night beyond acknowledging that they saw in it
another Tammany attempt TO remove the little
remaining patronage.
other bills now pending. and are expected
to come out OF committee within n few days
still further wiping out the McCarrerl hold by
manner. Tammany Hall proteg6s and Repub-
EcanS are, It is said here, to be the appontees-
Republicans by the Governor and Tammany
friends by the Mayor.
The details OF the matter are stili lacking but
the belief is growing that the closing hours OF
the session VIII see a blow struck a. the Nc
Carren control Of Brooklyn far greater than any
that has yet been witnessed
II is possible on the basis Of the rumors upon
this matter tonight, to build up n rumor that
all the courts and judicial districts Of Brooklyn
20 be affected, and that McCarren ap-
pointees as well judges in sympathy with Nc
CaTTen, from the highest 10 the lowest. TO
be swept out to be replaced by Republicans and
by the Tammany Hail adheTents in Kings.
The only actual evidence of this, however lies
in the action of the rules committee of the As
sembly in reporting the Remsen bill to-day.
Other developments are expected however
That the McCarren contingent is severely af-
fected by the rumors is not TO be denied They
at lepst believe that the blow is intended,
and not lulled by any reports of harmony
talks by Charles r. Murphy.
