PONFERENCE =A FIZZLR ——— (Continued from First Page.) ‘Meogues in the Legislature regarding the petice bills?” he was asked. “Senator Lexow has no power to act had any proposition been made to him, ‘was the rather irrelevant answer. “Then the Senator did leave the con- ference with some definite understand- ng that he shouid submit @ proposition @o the Legislature?” was the question. “Yes,” replied Mr. Kenneson, and then the went on to say that more time would be offered the Committee of @eventy and the opposing forces in which an amicable understanding might be reached. Platt's Hand Shown, The general opinion is that the result @f the conference shows very clearly a @etermination on the part of Mr. Platt and hie friends to make no concessions whatever to public sentiment in this elty regarding pending police legisiation. ‘The fact that Senator Lexow spent an hour in secret consultation with the Tioga statesman immediately prior to fis meeting Mr. Smith and the members of the Committee of Seventy, indicates that he was elmply carrying out the commands of his superior, and that it fwas Mr. Platt and not Senator Lexow ‘who was talking at the conference. Mr. Platt has decreed that the Police Board ehall be bi-partisan, and all the powers of the Committee of Seventy ‘will not avail to change hts determina- tion. No compromise will be listened to, and it is generally believed that ¢ Committee of Ten which 1s now work- ing #0 industriously on the new Police Dill, will have its labor in vain. Backed up by so powerful an ally as Mr. Platt, the Senator from Nyack was able to brave the enemy, resist the se- ductions of Mr. Smith and Mr. Rives and incidentally to enjoy a capital luncheon in very select company at the Downtown Club. In other words, the machine has scored another point, and at the expense of its opponents. ‘The meeting was arranged early fn the week, and it was said at first that Dr. Parkhurst would attend it. The clergyman, however, declares that his only in- formation in regard to the matter was obtained through the newspapers, Nothing to Be Gained, Says Park- hurat. “I do not see that anything can be wained,” he declares, “by a conference with the Lexow Committee until Senator (Lexow and his friends have abandoned the partisan principles which they want to introduce into the police measure. The point upon which Mr. Lexow 1s farthest removed from our people here is bi-partisanship. “Tt is sufficiently clear that on that point he has no intention of yielding. If he does not yield I should consider my- gélf humillated by coming into any kind ef @ conference with him touching any matter of police legislation. “People in this city are agreed that partisanship must be divorced from the Police Department. The people of Al- ‘any are determined to keep partisan- ship in the Department. There can be Bo agreement, therefore, so long us the two parties stand for directly opposing principles. “I. would not attend any conference, even if I was invited, unless It was understood that the other side had com- pletely abandoned the {dea of a partisan Police Board. If Senator Lexow will jeld that point I care very Hittle Wiad’ be does yield, for that ts the point upon which the will of our city has been Most clearly, unanimously und urgently expressed.

He sald the night was so dark that he could not make out the rig of the steamer, but knew she was small from the position of her lights. As she showed no signals of distress he paid little attention to her, thinking that probably some of her machinery was slightly disabled, It might also be the Prince liner Imperial Prince, which Is now eleven days out from St. Lucia.

KEPT STRONG BUSY,| Office-Seekere Besiege the Mayor's Office with Applications, Five Women Get First Chance at the Executive Ear. New Appointees Make No Changes in Their Respotive Departments. Mayor Strong said this morning that he had too much business on hand to talk about the Police bill or hia in tentions regarding a bi-partisan board of Police Commissioners. He refused ab- solutely to talk for publication on that or any other subject. The business which occupied the Mayor was listening to the supplications of a mob of office-seekers that gathered in the City Hall corridors as early as 10 y'slock. The hungry ones pressed to the front, and when the door of the Mayor's office was opened at 11 o'clock they made @ rush and surrounded his deak, ‘The first to have a word with His Honor were flve women, who presented him with twe documents which he read and put into his pocket. ‘The women | withdrew after telling the newspaper | men that their visit was of no interest | to the public and refusing to give their} names, Simon Stern and John Sabine, Smith were favored in turn with a few | minutes’ chat with the Mayor.

Commissioner of Public Works Brook fleld said shortly before noon to-d. that no employees of department would be dropped to-day, ard that no appointments would be made. At the Park Department it was stated that none of the new Commissioners had been at the office to-day.

It was idle for Senators to say that this was the best the President could do.

There had “'rtually been a conspiracy to this pur- pose, and with this accomplished the plan’ would be to require payment alone in that money.

WORRIED BY A COINAGE LAW. Administration Searches for Act Abrogating That of ‘57, (Bpectal to The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 16—The proba- bility {s that no further important leg- islation, outside the appropriation bills, will pass Congress at this session, Pos. sibly the Nicaragua bill may be given a hearing in the House, but the chances are against its successful conclusion. Prominent Democratic members of both houses have decided that the safe course to pursue will be to prevent the pasyage of the Pooling bill, and the Pa- clfle Railroad bill, and prominent Re- publicans are equally opposed to repeal- ing the sugar differential duty. The one thing which is looming up to frighten. the Administration is the spectre of the Mexican silver quarter, ‘There has been a great searching of law in the ‘Treasury Department tn faint hope that some law may be discovered which will offset or repeal the law of 1857 making the Mexican silver quarter receivable at the Treasury, {ts several offices, land offices and post-offices at 20 cents, 80 far no law has been dis- covered which the Treasury cares to pin to. On the contrary, prominent reasury ofMfcials declare that the law still stands, Armed with this weapon, the silver men in Congress declare that they can force free silver coinage within the next two years, or compel the Administration to sell bonds without limit to protect the gold reserve.
