Washington March 6.--News OF the
death of former Senator Plat was re-
ccived by his friends IN both the senate

pressions of deep regret. Senator Depew
said
Il have hnoWo every public man in my
time In this country and also many from
other countries. But Senator Plat was
a unique Character He possessed a mania
for organization which If applied to hush
ness would have made nirl d wonderful
power In the business world. Political or
ganization was his delight, and for It's
sake. he sacrificed every pccuniary ad-
vantage that ever came 70 him.
The long leadership which he held in
New York politics was le"er broken until
his physical condition made it impossible
for him to retain his hold. The great
source of his powe" WAS his absolute
loyalty to his friends. We was never
Vindictive in his enmtloS AID if he fou nd
that an enemy could ne Useful to him and
