1 serts That Scheme Meets Objections
 to Original Fully Plan and Will Be l Satisfactory to People.
 i Albany, N. T., July 24.-The deadlock ! between the two houses of the legisla- 1 ture over the apportionment of senate districts ended when the caucus of Re ] publican assemblymen adopted as n party measure the senate apportion- ment bill in the form in which 1t was adopted by the senate caucus.
 1 This is n practical surrender by ! Speaker Wadsworth and the assembly in that it involves consent to the join | ing in one district of Livingston, the home county of the speaker, with Steu- ben, that of Senator Fully, against ! which arrangement the speaker made his long fight in the closing weeks of the regular session. It is now expect ed that the extraordinary session will adjourn today.

Mur- phy of Kings, Winters of Tioga, Rog CTS of Broome. Hammond of Onondaga, Phillips of Allegany, Maher of Albany, Dominy of Clinton and Shuttleworth of Erie
 The Democratic members of the as- sembly held caucus afterward and appointed a committee of five to draw up a bill to provide for q different ap- portionment of New York city Twelve so called Mcclellan and McCarren Democrats bolted the caucus and held one of their own. at which a resolution was adopted indorsing the bill agreed upon by the Republicans. Wadsworth Defends Himself.
 Speaker Wadsworth gave out an ex tended statement summarizing the his tory of this years contest between the two houses and concluding as follows:
 "The apportionment matter has al- ready consumed too much time, during which I have endeavored to perform my full duty to the people of my coun- ty and to the state. After careful con sideration of the matter I have. come to the conclusion that we must accept the senate plan as modified or there can be no apportionment this year. 'I therefore recommend to the eau GUS of Republican assemblymen that the interests of the state and the party demand that we terminate this condi- ton by accepting the best plan to which the seuate would accede.
 "This plan meets our constitutional objections to the original Fully plan and has incorporated in it three modi- fications suggested by the assembly conferees, and we believe will be sat isfactory to the people of the state"
